Ryder

Ryder has been very difficult to get down for a nap lately. I haven't changed the routine he has just decided he doesn't want to be out of my sight lately. I read him two books and sing a song as I am walking him to his crib. So yesterday we did our routine, (I knew he was tired too because he was falling asleep during lunch) I lay him in bed and he is fine, but as soon as I close the door he is up and screaming. So I decide to go and take my shower (yes late in the day, we were having a lazy day) Jacob did his books on tape and coloring while I was bathing. Well, I heard this really shrill cry from Ryder (which is not too uncommon when he is mad, he will really let you know) I kept listening and there was nothing. Then his cry got very loud and sounded closer, I went in the hallway and could tell that Ryder was crying from his door. I open the door and he is sitting on the floor at the door which is kinda strange, I tried to get him to stand and he wouldn't put his right leg down (weird). I rocked him for awhile (he was very upset and I could tell he hurt). He fell asleep and when he woke up we hiked it to the ER. Little Ryder broke his leg, he was such a trooper at the hospital, the Doctors kept commenting on how calm he was, unless you tried to take him from my arms. So Ryder has a cast for 4-6 weeks and today he keeps saying "walk" and falling when he tries. This will definitely take some adjusting.

Fall Fun!!!

John and I were Thing One and Thing Two for our Church Trunk-or-Treat. We are really scary looking aren't we!?!?!? We had a really cool trunk, John makes his trailer into a maze for the kids to wind thru. This always seems to be a hit and we always have kids coming back to go through several times.


Jacob's Pumpkin carving, the stinker wouldn't let me get his picture!!



Our three treats!! Mr Jacob the "incredible Hulk", Mr Ryder the cutest scarecrow ever!!, Ms. Meagan the "cute witch".

More Fall Fun

Meagan gutting the pumpkin, she enjoyed this, she seems to like the gooey parts, and doesn't mind getting messy.


Ry-dawg our little punk kid!! John was playing with the kids hair paint and decided to experiment with Ryder. He loved it!!



This was sooo cool, we went to a pumpkin patch and they had a corn maze and petting zoo, and two pits full of corn kernels for the kids to slide into, they all really enjoyed themselves.

Camping FUN!!!!!

Check out this tongue!!! We went camping down in Georgia at F.D. Roosevelt State Park, and there is a wildlife safari park nearby. So we went and fed the crazy animals!!! It was hilarious and so much fun!! We rented the parks van which is the zebra painted picture below and there are bars on the windows to keep the animals heads out, (because even with the bars they tried to get their heads in!) We had so much fun, it was funny to watch the kids because every time the animals tongues would come in they would squeal and scoot closer to the middle. Ryder rode with big eyes the whole time, by the end he wanted to throw food out but only to the small animals. GREAT MEMORIES!!!

Hot cocoa around the campfire!! We had a great campsite, all the neighbor camping kids would come down and hang out at ours, we had great trees and logs and stumps to climb on , the kids stayed busy all day and asked to go to bed at night!!! I Love Camping!!!!

Random Pictures

We went on a camping trip on fall break, I have much better pics I am trying to download but my computer is not recognizing my camera for some reason. (still working)

Meagan and a silly pose!

Meagan and Jacob got to take a scuba diving class a few weeks ago and loved it.

Ryder just being Ryder!! He is such a character! He loves to laugh and play and cuddle!!
