18 months

 Ridge is 18 months!

We LOVE this kid!! 

He is the such a Joy

He is a mover

he has earned the nick name wreakin' ball 

everywhere he goes he wreaks the place!

He knows how to get what he wants and he doesn't back down

He Loves:

 reading books

 animals

horses and dogs especially

All the men in the High Priest group

he has taken a special liking to Rick Lunt and Wayne Hartley

shoes

climbing

standing on the counter

being outside-everytime the door opens he is running for it!

Running

playing with cars

 shooting guns

his brother and sisters

to sit in the fridge

unloading the dishwasher

Lookin at deer with dad

cleaning up messes

His grandparents

Ridge went to nursery for the first time last week and he didn't make a sound.  He was just lookin at all the other kids wondering why they were all crying. (our ward has 40 kids in the nursery, so it gets a little crazy) 

Ridge loves his daddy, he gives him hugs and kisses every morning before work and every afternoon after lunch.  He doesn't give his smiles away, you have to work for them, but they are so worth it when you get one!  We love you wreakin' ball!!  I am so glad I get to be your mom!!

Where have I been?

I just thought I'd share this cute picture of the kids with their cute cousins!

Oh my! I have thought about this blog so many times and for some reason it is just not happening.  I am GOING to catch up on this blog someday soon.  Our life has changed so much!  Life is good, we have been so blessed!  But my life is really different and blogging just hasn't fit in.  I might have to start doing it on Sundays or something.  I can not believe how fast my kids are growing up and I have got to document it somewhere so.....I will be back with tons of posts real soon!

St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick's day has never been a holiday that I have really ever done anything for but.... last year I was reading my friend's blog and she had done this for her kids and I thought it was such a cute idea, I had to copy!!  The kids each got a rainbow (skittles) with gold (twix) and a bottle of Cream Soda.  They also shared a bowl of "Lucky Charms" for breakfast.  It was fun, I think we might start a tradition

I cannot believe that I don't have a picture of my kids but Ryder picked out his own green clothes and Saydee made sure that Ridge had his green on so he wouldn't get pinched.  The first thing Ryder did when Grandma Liz came to tend was pinch her because she had forgotten her green.  He said he did it really soft so he wouldn't hurt her!
