Rydge!

This little boy is 19 months old already!!
and.. SO. FULL. OF. LIFE. 
He is a busy, impatient, loving, funny, boy. 

He looks just like his daddy. 
He has started to eat me out of a house, he loves cheese and snack packs! 
He likes fruit more than vegies
He still jabbers like crazy, the only words he says are Mo, Truck, Tractor, I swear he says my name.. Hell say dog, hot, dad. thats about it :/.. everyone tells me he should be saying more words, but he isnt. He understands everything! Im hoping hell start putting words together, want more ect?? Who knows! But, Im not to worried because he "talks" all the time. And its SOOO funny to listen to him. 
He throws some major tantrums.. sometimes I dont know what to do about it? Hell throw himself on the ground and ball.. 
He is very happy, he smiles all the time!
Loves to be outside, and loves to be with daddy. 
Rydge is so smart, and it is crazy how much he picks up just seeing it done once.
He is overly helpful.
He is intrigued with everything, he is starting to get into bugs. he tried squishing a fly that was in the window, that we so funny. 

He has so much busyness in him, I swear all he does is run.. no walking what so ever. He defiantly keeps us on our toes.
He loves playing with other kids, and especially loves babies!!
Still a lover bug, which I hope lasts forever. 
Loves the water, he will be a little fish! 
He is ALL boy, he jumps on everything, climbs what he can, he rolls in the dirt, doesnt really listen to his momma he has to make sure I am serious, he tests me so bad! Everyone tells me it just gets worse :S... 
He is a lefty, but latelly he has been using his right a little bit more. 

This kid has the funniest facial expressions, Brent and I will get rolling its so funny!!! 
He loves music, as soon as he hears it he busts a move!!! I Love it, and he sings too..
He is a people person, loves anyone. 

I love this little boy so much!!! And I cant believe in 5 months he will be 2, uh-oh!

The begining of Summer!!

SOOO much has been going on, and I have been the worst blogger ever! So, here is picture overload and Catch up from May and June! 

MEMORIAL WEEKEND!!
Our FIRST ranch trip of the summer, Oh I have missed the ranch. And camping, and family time!! We had a blast, although it was FREEZING and all I wanted to do was Curl up with hot chocolate, and a book.. But, Rydge wanted to run around and he didnt even let the cold and wind phase him.. kids, they dont care! 

This picture is funny! 
FREEZING!!!
He LOVES Tractors.. He was in heaven, when we left he screamed! That was fun :/... haha!
 Saturday Brent, Rydge and I loaded up and went for a little stroll through the hills and came upon Beaver Dam National Park??? I had NO idea it was there, but it was Beautiful!! 


By the end of the weekend I was so sad that our weekend was over :(.. And I was SOOO happy that Brent camped with us the whole time!! Its SO much better when he goes! 
He already thinks he can drive!
Went up threw Nephi Wash and the North Hills and ran into some beautiful Mustangs.. see the colt!
 After memorial weekend Rydge and I drove to Vegas to meet up with my step mom, her husband and my little sister for a night.. ( I did blog on that)
And the next day after that we drove to Hurricane for a nieces birthday party! 
That next weekend we had the Bracken Reunion, and sadly my Camera wasnt charged :( so I didnt get any pictures.. Darn it! We had a blast camping, visiting with family, and just enjoying the relaxation. I do have a story to tell, I couldnt find Rydge, and the Lions Lodge is HUGE! ok, I looked everywhere, and when I started to panic .. I mean seriously panic I started to freak out.. running all over I thought he might have gone with my sister in law on a walk with the other kids.. um, no! He wasnt with the boys up by the forts, not ANYWHERE.. Well, Janiece found him in the bathroom playing in the toilet with a football??? REALLY!!! Talk about giving a mom a heart attack!! SHESH! 
After that Rydge and I had 2 days to get all our things together for a trip to Sacramento, CA to visit my step mom and family!! Which I blogged about as well.. And It was really fun! I miss them lots. 
Now.. We have been home for a week.. when Rydge BROKE OUT in a NASTY NASTY rash on his butt. Me thinking it was a yeast infection, I go to the Pharmacy to get some ointment when the ladies told me the rash looked like Hand foot and Mouth.. I took him to the clinic and he tested positive for strep, he got a shot but the rash kept spreading...,

Hand foot and what???
UH, YES.. My little Boogie got Hand foot and Mouth!

 You cant even really see in the pictures.. but his WHOLE butt was covered in these nasty looking blistery red bumps, that spread to his feet, his hands, his mouth, up by his ears, and a few on his legs and stomach :(.. Sorta looked like chicken poxs.. UGH!!!! Can I tell you it has SUCKED. I feel so bad for Rydgey. 

He got the Strep from my friends children, and Hand Mouth and Foot from his cousin in Cali. There is no treatment for the rash.. its supposed to just go away on its own. We are to the point were its starting to clear up and look LOTS better. Hopefully by this weekend we are over it, and we can NOT be quarantined to the house :)!! Were all getting STIR CRAZY!!!

SHESH!!!! 
 I am still trying to get back into house work, yard work.. and my daily mommy duties!! But I am slacking SOOO bad. I just dont have the umph to get up and go!!! Maybe I should try a 5 hour energy and boost my umphness! hehe.. 
Well, that is all for now! I just did major catch up, and I need to do an 18 month post ALL about Rydge, although next week he will be 19 months! HOLY CRAP!!!!! 
Hope all yalls summer is starting out with a BANG!!! Ha!!!

Cali!!

CALI. VACA.!
Rydge and I flew to Sacramento, California last Tuesday, we went to visit my fam. that lives there!!
Can I just say it was pretty relaxing and fun, we didnt do lots, but what we did do was awesome.
 We took Rydge to the Zoo, which was absolutely AMAZING!! We went first thing that morning, and walked through the whole park.. he LOVED the Giraffes and Apes! 
We met up with my Aunt Carol and Uncle Jim and Aunt Jenny one day and had lunch! For Alishas going away dinner. She is off on a new adventure! She is headed to Turkey for Vaca, then to Africa to do some volunteer teaching.. and enjoying some "her" time. She is so brave, and I cant believe she is off .. I am so proud of her! 
We went to the splash pad a few times, which Rydgey boy LOVED!!!!  As you can see!
We had such a great time, I love going and seeing my family, I miss them so much!!! And until next visit!! Love you all!!!! And I have to say that Rydge was such a good flyer, I was quite surprised!!!
