4 years old?


Dear Ryker,

How in the world are you 4 years old? I remember your Daddy handing me this tiny precious lovie like it was yesterday. I don't care how old or big you get you will ALWAYS be my baby, my first born that taught me so much. I never knew true, pure, deep love until I had you!

This has been a BIG year for you.... you are FINALLY "poop" potty trained. Oh my Ryker I cannot believe how INCREDIBLY hard you were to potty train. Although we still have some pee accidents all in all you do great, I think you are just to on the go to take the time out from playing. You started preschool and you love it! Your best friends are Cash and Beckham (Bear). Some mornings you do not want to go and whine that you want me to go with you but you always go and come back home with the biggest smile and tell me how much fun you had. You are learning so much and it amazes me, I will listen and watch you play or watch a tv cartoon and you can usually answer all the questions correctly. You struggle with me trying to sit and work with "preschool" stuff because I think I am just Mama and not the teacher. Hee Hee! You know all your colors, most or your shapes (the hard ones still confuse you a bit but hey they do me too), you can count to 10. You still WILL NOT let me sing the ABC's to you.... there is the stubborn side of you coming out so we listen to a cd in the car so you will eventually learn them. Everyone is so amazed how much you love all your toys and can tell me who gave you each one. You play so well by yourself and have such an imagination but you can also play well with others.

You finally got your baby sissy Larkyn this year! I think you fell in love with her the moment you saw her or maybe even when she was still in Mama's belly. You truly are the BEST BIG BROTHER! Everyone kept warning me, "oh he will get sick of her in a week or two" or "he will want to send her back because he will be jealous". Well you proved them wrong Toota Bug you adore your sissy and want to constantly be helping with her besides the poopy diapers you refuse to help with! Come on buddy I don't like them either! Hee Hee! I could sit and watch you and Larkyn play all day. The bond you two already have at such a young age melts my heart. You want to teach her everything. How lucky we all are to have such a fun, spunky, caring, sweet, handsome and adventurous little man in our lives. Daddy and I are truly honored and blessed to be your parents.

Happy 4th Birthday Toota Bug!

I LOVE you my sweet lovie,
Mama

Happy MOTHER'S Day!

I LOVE Mother's Day. I love being a Mommy.... Ryker is truly the BEST thing that has ever happened to me and I am so extremely blessed that he is my baby! I woke up to Ryker saying "Happy Mom" and Chris and Ryker making me breakfast. I got a hand made card from Chris and Ryker and it melted my heart and made me cry like a baby. Chris and I talked before Mother's day and I asked him not to get me any gifts which he was disappointed in but we are in the process for buying a toy hauler and I wanted to make sure that was cut and dried before spending any money. Chris wanted to get me and promised me a seat to go on the back of my four-wheeler.... he spoils me! I love my two lovies so very much! Thank you for making my day so incredibly SPECIAL! I cherish every moment I have with the two men in my life! I've been called a lot of things in my life, but my favorite of all is Mommy! As Dora and I went the cemetery yesterday to decorate Mom's and Grandma'...

My poor baby boy

Ryker had a few bumps on his back that I noticed on Sunday. I figured it was his sensitive skin from us out camping and from me not putting an lotion on him. I hate to put lotion on him when we are camping because I feel like all the dust sticks to him and makes him even more dirty. Anyways on Monday he was so whiny and running a fever so we packed up and came home. Ryker struggled with the fever all night M onday and even actually slept with Chris and I which has never happened. I figured the fever was from two more of his teeth coming through. Anyway Tuesday when he woke up Ryker was normal again happy as can be so we went about our day. Well Wednesday I needed to go to work so I packed Ryker up to take him to Grandma Irene and I was telling her about these bumps on his legs that you could feel but barley see and she said her other granddaughter gets bumps all the time and it's no big deal. She agreed it was probable from camping and his sensitive skin. When Chris brought ...
