Big Snake

Right after I had Kyler, my parents were watching Porter and Ryker. Porter caught a snake when he was at their house. It ended up getting away but he thought it was the coolest thing ever. He still tells me now that he caught a snake. So, a couple weeks ago a guy that Mike works with bought a big snake. We decided to take Porter and Ryker to go see it. Porter absolutely loved the thing. Ryker thought is was pretty cool too but lost interest fast. Porter would have played with the thing all day if we would have let him. I'm just hoping that one day my boys don't want a snake like this. I didn't really like the thing that much!

Oh What a Mess!!!!

So, I have been working a ton the past couple of weeks. There's been so much to do with work. I feel bad because I have kind of ignored my kids while I work. They entertained themselves though. This is what your house looks like when you just let you kids entertain themselves!

Room #1

I don't know if you can tell from the pictures but there is baby powder all over this room!!! That was fun to clean up.

Room #2

They are just so stinking cute to get mad at though. I just had to laugh. That's what I get for ignoring them!

We finally had our baby!! Now we have 3 kids under the age of 3. We'll see how mom handles this. Things went great. I ended up having to be induced. It was only a 4 1/2 hour labor and only 3 pushes. He was nice and healthy and just cute as can be. Here he is:

What a cutie!!

The Carnival

Yes, I am finally updating my blog. I have so many pictures of things we have done this summer. Now I just need to get them off my camera and update my blog some more!

The carnival was here last week so we took the boys one night and had them go on some rides. They loved it!!! They didn't want to leave. It was really cute!




Ryker wasn't tall enough to go on this ride so Porter had to go by himself. He was really sad that Ryker couldn't go with him.

Mike got to go on the carousel with the boys. He was so excited! Trying to get both the boys to look at the camera didn't work.

Exciting Times

Look who is potty trained! Horray!!! I am totally loving only having one kid in diapers! We bought Porter a little toilet a few months ago and have been kind of working with him. About 3 weeks ago I went and bought some underwear and just started putting him in them. He did great. We had a few accidents but we haven't had any for a couple weeks now and I'm loving it!!! I was dreading potty training him because I heard stories about how hard it is to potty train boys. I guess I just lucked out. Good job Porter!!!

Also, look who's finally walking!!! Porter started walking right around his first birthday. Ryker would stand but didn't really take any steps. We've been waiting for him to just take off and he finally did this week. It's so fun when they start walking!

Porter loves that Ryker is walking now too. He loves to take his hands and walk him around the house. It is so cute!!

Look who turned 1!

I am late at getting these pictures posted but here they finally are. Yes, my baby, Ryker turned 1! I still can't believe it! He is getting so big so fast! We sure love this cute little guy though. I only have a few pictures because my camera died. Grandma and Grandpa have all the good ones on their camera. We'll have to get those.

I really wanted to make Ryker a turtle cake. I don't know why but that was just the cake I wanted him to have. So, I got creative and made a turtle cake out of cupcakes. It was so easy and I thought it turned out cute.

Ryker's First Haircut

I know, I have been a major slacker. I finally had some time to update my blog. A couple weeks ago, Ryker got his first haircut. He was really good for it too.

What a handsome little man!!!
