WAYNE & SHARON'S TRADITION BECOMES A FAMILY TRADITION...
On Saturday, April 25th, we packed Ryder up in a Kids Trek back pack and went to Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City for the Supercross. We have gone together for years and even to the Las Vegas supercross last May. Now that we have Ryder, we have our first family tradition. It was rainy and I was tempted to call Wayne's mom to come and get Ryder once a cold breeze hit but it warmed up enough and we really enjoyed ourselves. It was a blast! Wayne really enjoyed sharing this passion with his son and hopes one day he will carry this on... We are so thrilled to have Ryder in our lives. This is the happiest we have ever been! He is such a happy little guy and keeps cracking us up over and over again! Love you Ryder!

SWEET SPIRIT
So, I had a really nice experience a few nights ago. Ryder was really struggling to go to bed and it was like 11:30 pm. He likes to lie in our bed with us so I took him in there until he fell asleep- around midnight or so. Well, once I got him in his room he woke up - OF COURSE... So I sat in my glider and held him really tight and he was just looking up at me. So I started to softly whisper how much I love him and how much Daddy loves him and how much his grandparents love him. Then I started to whisper more saying to remember how special he is and to always do what is right and be happy. He was staring at me intently this whole time! I went on whispering how much Jesus and Heavenly Father loves him and that he has blessed our lives by coming to us and on and on and on... WOW! What a great spiritual experience! He got so relaxed that he slowly drifted off to sleep. I just realized after this that if I EVER feel like I'm lacking the spirit of the Holy Ghost that all I have to do is look at and talk to this angel! It seemed so simple but the spirit was so strong in that dimly lit room that I will never forget it. He must have felt it to because he was so calm and serene. He really looked at me like he understood and maybe his little spirit did! How could you not love a moment like that?

This was after I attempted to wakeboard. I'm getting closer but not quite there yet.
MORE FAMILY PICTURES
We drove with my mom to Boise, Idaho and back (yes- in one day) to meet my sister Stacy, her boyfriend Chad, and their little guy Steven. They had never seen Ryder so I wanted to jump at the chance for them to see him. Steven is such a cute little guy! Ryder loved him!

So for Mother's Day I thought it would be cute to have Ryder help me paint the cards. He LOVED it...and so did his Grandmas! Needless to say he got a lot of paint on him. I just had to snap a picture of the messy boy!

BOY HOW THEY GROW!
Weston and Ryder are only a month and a day apart! Ryder is so big for his age he makes them look the same age! Close enough I guess! Look how Ryder's fingers are innertwined perfectly! This cracked us up!

MESSY BOY - APRIL 8, 2009
So this is how this night went - the night before I tried to feed Ryder applesauce which he has previously tried. He cried! So then I got out carrots which aren't his favorite but he'll eat them- cried again! Then I got out one of his very favorites- prunes (don't ask me why)- wouldn't eat them. So I told Wayne that I thought his sweet & sour taste buds have finally developed fully and he's being picky. So I put those 3 bottles of baby food in the fridge and fed him plain cereal with milk which he was fine with. So the next night in these pictures I was getting ready to try the leftover baby food once again and gave him his spoon to hold on to while I was warming up the baby food in the microwave. Well once it was warm I took the spoon from him to stir it and he screamed bloody murder! So I gave him his own spoon to hold while I fed him with the other one. As you can see he thought he needed to feed himself as well and got both the carrots & prunes (which he now eats again) all over himself! I'm thinking he's going to be Mr. Independent... what do you think?
OH THE TOES - APRIL 6, 2009
In the last couple of weeks he's really found his toes and tries to grab them at all times- especially when I change his diaper or clothes. It makes it quite difficult to put a diaper or pants on him when you have to take his toes from him!
5 MONTHS OLD ALREADY?!! - MARCH 28, 2009
I try and take a picture everytime he hits another month and I cannot believe how fast time has gone! I used to count just how many weeks old he was and now I've had to revert to months! I can't believe he's almost been with us for half a year! He sure is a smiley boy! He gets really excited when he is in his jumperoo and you say his name! He sucks his breath and squeals and then jumps like crazy! I sure love this kid!
MY LITTLE FROGGIE - MARCH 29, 2009
I've never been able to wrap him up this tight since he was a newborn! He used to loved to be wrapped up but now he wants his arms out! He just looked so cute we had to snap a picture. As you can tell, he was super tired and ready for bed!
THE LEMON POUND CAKE INCIDENT...FEBRUARY 26, 2009
So here' the scoop- Wayne took a final for his block class this semester so Ryder and I decided to make him a lemon pound cake to show how proud we were. Apparently I didn't grease the bundt pan enough because it stuck as I was trying to invert it and totally fell apart. Wayne thought it was hilarious although I felt bad that I ruined it. He still ate what he could because he LOVES lemon...

MAMMOTH MOTOCROSS - JUNE 2007
Behind Wayne in this picture are 3 famous motocross riders: John Dowd, Jeremy McGrath, and Cary Hart. We laugh about this picture because it looks like Wayne is stalking them or something. It was pretty neat for him to see those guys and watch them race.
MY HOT HUBBY! - AUGUST 2006
I love this picture of Wayne. He was getting ready to race on his dirtbike and as always, has a smile on his face whenever he gets a chance to ride!
BIKE RIDE - JULY 2006
We went up to Pineview (I believe) for the 4th of July with Wayne's family and rented some mountain bikes. Don't we look snazzy in our helmets and sunglasses!
MY ATTEMPT AT WAKEBOARDING - JULY 2006
Yeah, I've never mastered the wakeboard. Getting up was as far as I went... Granted I haven't had a lot of practice but I hope to one day achieve it.
WAYNE'S SUCCESS AT WAKEBOARDING - JULY 2006
Obviously, he's much better at it than I!
RACING IN DELTA - APRIL 2006
This was at Bunker Hill in Delta which they've now shut down. Wayne's pretty bummed because it was his favorite track.
