The Fair part 2!

Eric took Ryder for a ride down the slide and he LOVED it!! He squealed the entire time!! He started screaming when we took him away, I guess the temper tantrums are in full swing now! I can't WAIT for the terrible 2's..

We also spied on my brother who was on this ride (he is TERRIFIED of heights by the way) with his little girlfriend.. I guess "love knows no bounds" :) My mom wanted to follow him the whole time.. Thank GOD he has me to pull her back.. gosh he's SO lucky.. I atleast know to watch from a distance... she has a lot of learning to do!

We also let Ryder play one game, and the funniest thing hapend, he went to grab that duck in the picture but it kept going and he didn't catch it so instead of grabbing another one, he started running after his duck!! Finally I helped him just grab a different one!

Zoo Time!

Eric and I were off last week and we jam packed it with fun things to do as a family... One thing was to go to the zoo and it had actually been a few months since we had been because our summer here was 140 degrees!! NOT EXAGERATING I swear! Anyways, it was fun to see how much more Ryder enjoys it now that he is just a few months older. They change so fast!! Here are some fun pictures, and Ryder's new thing is to point at EVERYTHING... :)

48 hour trip to Nashville

So this is what we did(drive) for 18 of those 48 hours to Nashville, but it was all worth it to see Jessi and baby Riley and to make sure that they were ok.. They are both doing great and are back to normal already.. While we were waiting for Jessi to move to another room, we went downtown Nashville and ate at a little hole in the wall place. It was really fun, then Ryder, Eric, Tanner and I went to "Discovery" which is an interactive fun learning place. We were there for 3 hours! I think Eric and my brother had more fun then Ryder! :) Here are some pictures!!

PlayDate!

We have been having some FUN playdates lately! This weekend was at Amanda and Paul's house and all of the kids had a blast.. I think that the parents did too...HOWEVER on our way there someone ran into the back of us and hit us pretty hard... I went straight into mommy mode and got out of the car so I could get Ryder out to make sure he was ok ...he only cried for a second but after we were driving away after getting the guy's insurance info Eric and my necks really started hurting...so hopefully there ok... I think we were just so concerned about Ryder we weren't even paying attention to us... I guess we'll be able to tell in the morning.... ANYWAYS back to some fun pictures!!

Halloween!!

We went with Amanda and Paul to get some super cute Halloween pictures!! I think they turned out REALLY good!!

Harmons Farm...What a BUST!

So I am always complaining to Eric how we never do anything different or adventurous so I googled pumpkin patches in SC and found one that was 30 minutes away... I called Amanda and Paul and there were game... I was SO excited to go I knew it would be fun, and it just happend that the night we were going was OPENING NIGHT! They said they would have a bluegrass band, drinks, food, hayrides....well when we arrived the bluegrass "band" was a total of 3 people 2 of which were the the "audience"!! It was a total BUST but we did get these cute pictures the 5 minutes we were there...Amanda and Paul said I owed them Gas Money! HA!

Like Father Like Son!

Ryder LOVES to ride the lawn mower while his Daddy drives...this gives Mommy a little break :) Which has been REALLY needed lately with this little wild child I have on my hands!
