Jessi, Matt, and Mattalyn visit!

(Do yall remember these stick bubble things?? We had alot of fun with these!!)

It was great to see my sister and her family this last weekend, I know I'm a little late getting pictures up but it was a fun visit! Here are some pictures!!

Mattalyn told Nana to make a funny face too!

I must say that Ryder sure did like Uncle Matt, they played peek-a-boo and Ryder would giggle and giggle...by the way they were wearing matching cut off shirts :)

Surprise!!

So I had the worst hair experience ever recently I mean going back twice in one day to have it fixed and 90 dollars later I was balling because my hair was WHITE and just down the middle so I looked like a skunk!! Anyways my dad sent me these BEAUTIFUL flowers at work the next day and it just made my day! Aren't they pretty?? Thank you Daddy for the beautiful flowers!!

Ryders New Shoes!!

Meme took Ryder and Mattalynn to get some Stride Rite sheos... Ryder is definetly stylin and profilin in his new sweet kicks!

THANK YOU MEME for our GREAT walkin shoes!!

Ryder ON THE MOVE!!

So Ryder has been taking a few steps here and there, but today after his nap he was just a walkin and a walkin!! I turned around in the livingroom and he just casually walked from the coffee table to the fridge to play with the magnents!! OF COURSE I tried to get him on video and he was NOT a happy camper and kept sitting down after he would start walking so these are the best videos I could get! ENJOY...hopefully I'll have some better ones soon!! :) BUT as you will see from the video's I am pretty sure he was getting tired of me trying to get him to do it over and over! :)

Ryders' New Playroom

Ryder has been such a little handful lately especially because most of our house is NOT childproof, so we decided to take our guestroom and turn it into a playroom. We hardly ever went in there and mostly used it for storage or just as a catch all room... Here are a few before and after pictures:

Ryder DOES NOT like the gate to be put up as you can see!!
