Happy Happy 8th Birthday Ryker!

Dear Ryker,
 
We seriously say it every year that how can you be this old? It seems like yesterday you were placed into our arms with a scary arrival. We cannot imagine life without you making us giggle, keeping us entertained, hearing your loud voice and watching you grow into a fine little man. You have accomplished so much this past year with school. After getting you into tutoring for your dyslexia and you working so hard, you have improved so much in your reading and are getting straight A's. We couldn't be more proud of you and your determination. Although school isn't your favorite you still do what you should. This past year you started racing your dirt bike and have also improved so much on that. We are all so proud to be your pit crew and cheerleaders. You are such a tender hearted, kind soul that has great sportsmanship. You are not the most competitive person by nature but having great sportsmanship is more important to us. You always make friends so easy and will play with anybody without judgment. You always seen to friend all the people with special needs, people that may be a little different or not have a lot of friends. You seem to have an old soul. After losing great Papa a year ago you still struggle with the loss and talk about him often, it melts Mama's heart and breaks it too. You are such a great big brother to your sister. You will give up things for her or play with her when she asks even if its not what you want to do. We are all so truly blessed to have such a great son and we love you more than you can ever imagine.
 
We love you,
Mama & Daddy
Sis had to have one shot alone too

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 correctl...

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 ...
