The Kiddo's

 Yep, I know they shouldn't be on the table but I am so not perfect.  Anyway I love the bond that Myka and Ryver have for each other.  I don't really have much to say besides....I LOVE THEM TO PIECES!  I also had to take a picture of the wonderful DORA shirt.  I hate DORA.  Dawn watched Myka one time for me and this is what she put on Myka for a joke.  Aunt Dawn thinks she is sooo funny! 

Here is Ryver trying to make Myka look a little bit "awesomer".  That is a word of Ryver's.  I do have to admit she is pretty dang awesome!  Take a note how wet her shirt is.  Myka is our slobber puss.

Just Stuff

I just had to post this picture as proof that Ryver is slowly but surely getting over his fear of dogs.  Of course he does a lot better with the smaller dogs then the big ones but non the less, he is getting better. Go Ryver, Go!!!

 

 

 

Portia with a smile for the camera.

Portia

 We went and spent Memorial Day Weekend in La Grande to spend time with Portia and celebrate her birthday (EARLY).  It was great because she also had her end of year dance recital.  She did great and it was fun to see her do something she loves.  Portia turned 10 this year.  She is so grown up yet so young.  Hard to believe she is 10.  She wanted chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate ice cream.  I think it is safe to say she loves chocolate.  She asked for a Figit for her birthday.  REALLY?  Whatever makes a kid happy on her birthday right.  Happy Birthday PORTIA!

Upside Downer

 

 Leave it to Dad to do tricks with the poor helpless baby. Actually Myka loved it. She was smiling and giggling the whole time.  (Don't mind the mess in the background.) 

 

Myka Girl

 I just love this baby girl.  She is so happy in the mornings when she wakes up.  Myka looks at you and gives a big grin.  She has been so much happier because she can sit up now.  The fuzz on top of her head is slowly starting to grow.

Myka has learned to love her feet and suck on her toes. 

Rock Star Ryver

We have some pretty awesome neighbors.  Morgan and Sophie Hill.  They are also his primary teachers. Morgan has a band with his brothers.  In their house they have a full drum set, along with every other instrument you could think of.    Ryver sometimes sneaks over there to have a little jam session. I walked over there to get him one day and he has the microphone out.  The one thing I hear when I walk in is, "HELLLOOOO Ladies".  I have no idea where he got that from.  This kid is awesome in every way.  He really likes music, dancing, and singing to songs he knows.  Love you my favorite Rock Star Ryver!!!

 

What!

I guess this is where you can say the looks are deceiving!  I couldn't help but take a picture.  Hey Ryver, what are you drinking?

Electronics

The boys and their games on electronics.  Any one that knows me very well, knows I am not a fan of video games of any sort.  The only games I have on my Ipod/Ipad are educational for Ryver.  I got my fill of video games being married to Gabe.  Scott has reassured me that neither him or Ryver will ever be like Gabe.  DUH!!!  I just have to grin and bear it while they play their silly games.

Mother's Day!

I can't say it enough...I LOVE MY MOM!  I think, well actually I know, I have the best Mom around.  Thanks to my Mom for always being there and loving me no matter what.  Now that I have my own little girl, I hope her and I can have the same relationship my Mom and I do. 

My Mom taught me more so much and I learn things almost daily from her.  I do call her daily, twice a day, and even sometimes hourly, or even more.  I just can't get enough of her.  Love you Mom! 

 

 

~Seeing the World~

 

 Myka's is learning to sit up. She as been pretty strong from day one. She loves sitting up and having a different view of the world. This has made her a touch more satisfied for a little longer.

 

Playing in Bancroft!

 
Mother's day weekend was spent in one of my favorite places....Bancroft and with my family.  We took Ryver's 4-wheeler down to ride as well.  He fun going on a real ride but his thumb got tired from pushing the gas.  Payge enjoyed the ATV as much as anybody. We had good food, good company, and lots of play time with cousins.  I love my family so much and am so thankful we live close enough to get together for all the different holidays.

 

Dawn just LOVES her picture being taken! I love you Dawn 

 

 

Payge and Myka have a pretty cute relationship.  Payge is extremely good with Myka, and Myka adores Payge.  I couldn't help but snap a few pictures of the two together.

Grandma played baseball with the grandkids most of the afternoon.  By the way she truely loves the sport.

 

My Angry Bird

This lady is amazing.  We went to Apples to get Ryver's face painted again.  Watching this lady is amazing.  It's obvious what it is....Angry Birds!
