RYDER LoVeD the FIREwoKs


PARKER and Ryder Waiting for the USU fireWORKS


RydeR is SO danG CUTE!

Lots of stuff was going on this year for the 4TH. We had Idaho days, which Parker had so much fun at, we went to the USU fireworks on the 3RD, and then on the 4Th we all went boating then went over to Great Grandma Saxtons for a BBQ and let off even more fireworks. Ryder was really, really sick for most of the fun. Parker Loved every minute of it. On Sunday we went to Tooele for my nephews baby blessing and then had a a dinner, so we were able to spend time with both side of the family for the holiday. I think that it so funny, when you are a kid you watch the fireworks, when you are a parent you watch your kids watch the fireworks. I love to see Parker's and Ryder's faces when they are excited about something.

RYDER and his BESTfriend MAX

We all went to Idaho days and had a blast. There were so many fun things for Parker to do. He loved it! There were a lot of fun booths for the adults, like home decor, baby bows, and jewelry. Next year I want to set up my own booth. Just not sure what I want to sell...Any suggestion?..

I GOT THIS FROM MY FRIEND MERRILEE WHO GOT IT FROM HER DAD

The Silent Treatment

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other
the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, 'Please wake me at 5:00 AM ' He left it where he knew she would find it.The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, 'It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.'
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.



WIFE vs. HUSBAND

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, 'Relatives of yours?' 'Yep,' the wife replied , 'in-laws



WOMEN'S REVENGE

'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase.
As she fumbled for her wallet I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. 'So, do you always carry your TV remote?' I asked.'No,' she replied, ' but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.'



UNDERSTANDING WOMEN

(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)

I know I'm not going to understand women. I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,
and still be afraid of a spider.



W O R D S

A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...
30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, 'The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, 'What?'



CREATION

A man said to his wife one day, 'I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time. 'The wife responded, 'Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!



WHO DOES WHAT

A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, 'You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee.' The husband said, ' You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.' Wife replies, 'No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee.' Husband replies, 'I can't believe that, show me.' So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says..........'HEBREWS'



God may have created man before woman,
but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

Fun Pictures

Me and Skylar on our anniversary


The toad Skylar caught in our yard


I heard noises in the middle of the night and this is what I found


What a silly guy


Parker was mad that the toad could not stay in the house

UPDATE!!

Ryder 8 Months old



He is getting so big 23lbs



Parker loves the WII, his favorite game is Mario Kart



Parker with his best bud Ryker

Ryder is eight months old, thinking back to the two weeks in the NICU I though that this day would never come..and here it is. It came way to fast. He is so big, he has two teeth, and says mama, more, and baba. He waves goodbye, and rolls everywhere. Stop growing kid.

Parker no longer goes to USU for behavior management. He had been going for like 5 months or so and his behavior wasn't shifting like all the other patients. However his behavior did change a little, just not to the extent that they see with kids like him. Two of the DR. said that he does not have ADHD. That he does not have a chemical imbalance, that he chooses to be this way because it is his nature..well this makes me even more frustrated to realize that he can be different he just chooses not to be. Well only time will tell with this kid. I think that he will be something amazing, he is so smart and determined in everything.

Today is mine and Skylars anniversary. I am making him a big steak dinner, and I hope that it will be nice enough to eat outside. This weekend we are doing something just not sure what yet...We had planned on Park City but he really wants to go camping so we will see.

I hate this place!!! I want to move so bad!! I always say it's not that bad, but who am I kidding, I can't stand Idaho. I think that I will move to Cali maybe San Diego. Anybody coming with?

THANK YOU!!!

Just a shout out to my good friend Merrille who was kind enough to give me some of her old clothes that she no longer needed. For reals she gave my 13 pairs of pants and a ton of sweaters and shirts!!! they were all so nice like Lucky's and such..thank you so much Merr you made my day!! you made skylars day too, he is happy he doesn't have to take me pants shopping for a long time.
