This is the Thanks I get....

Yes, that would be Ryland saying Dada. He says it all the time now. So cute, but the little stinker doesn't realize I did all the hard work here so he should say Mama right? :) Oh well....What can I say, Ryland sure does love his daddy! 

New Seat!

A couple of weeks ago Lance and I bought this highchair. 

We both loved it because it wasn't so big it would take up our whole kitchen, but big enough it still had a tray on it. We brought it home and poor little Rylands head hit against the bars and he pretty much wanted nothing to do with it because it was so uncomfortable. So this week, I took on the project of making a seat cover for it. Well mostly I was on the sidelines thanks to my very talented mom! I was able to just be the official string cutter and tissue paper puller offer while she did the hard part of actually sewing it! Interesting fact for those of you that actually sew or that actually care...you can't sew directly onto plastic. That makes your sewing machine not so happy. If you put tissue paper over the plastic and sew on that, it works like a champ! The thin piece of tissue paper makes a huge difference and you can just pull it off after you sew it on. Amazing! So don't say I didn't teach you people anything on this blog! :) Thanks mom, you did a great job, and we love it! I think it turned out pretty good!

Ryland loves his new seat! 

He usually is more interested in eating his bib then his food! Only for a few minutes though! :) 

I will let you fill in the caption for this one! He must really love his applesauce and oatmeal!

And here is a movie of him eating his food! Such a big boy! 

Thanks again Mom!!!! We love it! You did a great job! We love you so much! 

Birthday Celebrations!

I love my birthday! It is the best! My birthday was yesterday and it was great. Lance got me so many gifts and spoiled me more than I should have been spoiled! He is a great husband and got exactly what I wanted..aka..new shoes, new hair straightener (thanks to Brenda! :)), new clothes, and these way awesome cookies that are probably my favorite now. Keebler fudged dipped graham crackers...so good! We went to Tepanyaki for dinner, which was awesome as usual. I love that place. And since Lance is the best, he planned a big birthday dinner with my family that we went to tonight. It was so much fun! I even got a cake with candles! Thanks Lance and everyone for the great birthday! I can't wait for next year! :) Here are some picture highlights.

Chelsea, Bryson, Ryland and I hanging out after dinner.

Chris, James and Ann.

My beautiful cake Ann made for me....it was as good as it looks too!

And yes all the nieces and nephews helped me blow out my candles! 

And the best birthday present of all....yep baby Ryland. How can you not just love this little guy! 

Family Reunion Again

This last weekend Lance and I were in charge of our Bradley family reunion. We went to camp Lomia and it was a very fun, relaxing weekend. We had a great time being in charge and doing what we wanted to do, however it was A LOT of work. It paid off in the end though. We were able to camp for 3 days and enjoyed floating the logan canal, eating much better than we should have while camping, and enjoying time with the family. Despite 2 rainy nights and waking up to frost the last morning, we had a great time! Ryland didn't even mind the cold, he did great. Here are a few pictures from the fun times we had. Ryland was way excited to go camping!

Hanging out by the campfire.

Making our Italian dinner. Like I said, with a full kitchen, how could we have not eaten really good considering we were camping! It was really nice to have!

Kimberly and I floating the Logan canal. SOOOO cold water!! We had so much fun once we got in and got numb enough we couldn't feel how cold it was! We were glad we last minute decided to not take Ryland with us. Sorry guys, we hope you enjoyed it despite the cold water! Thanks Maria for the picture!

Ryland looked like a little gangster going to bed with his hat and layers to stay warm! He slept great, and loved waking up right next to Lance and I in the morning. He is used to being in his room in the crib and having to talk and entertain himself until Lance goes in there and gets him! :) 

Ryland and Kira chillin in their seats! Thanks dad for brining those up last minute, they were great to have!

And here is the whole family....yes I know, there is a ton of us! It just keeps on getting bigger! We can't wait for the next reunion! Or BFT as JT call it! :) 

Cousin Adelaide comes to visit

This last weekend Lance's sister Brenda came in town with baby Adelaide. We had so much fun with them and were happy they stayed with us for 2 nights. It was so fun to have 2 little babies around. I had to take some pictures of them together. 

Ryland decided he would pull Adelaide's bow out. I am sure that isn't the last time that is going to happen! :)

Brenda's friend Krystal had a baby 3 days after Ryland. They are pretty much the same size. It was nice to know someone else has a baby as big as Ryland is! They were so cute together.

It is going to be great to watch them grow together. 

Ryland didn't want Adelaide to leave. We can't wait to see them again! 

Ryland is also 5 months old today. Wow, the time has gone so fast. I can't believe it. He is so awesome, and such a great baby. He sleeps through the night still, he can roll over, and sit up pretty well for a while. He loves to eat all kinds of foods, rice cereal, carrots, squash, peaches. He doesn't like bananas though!! His new thing is yelling, and my he can yell. He has got a good set of pipes on him! He loves to yell to anyone and anything. It is pretty cute! He loves to talk too. He is always happy and hardly ever cries. We love him so much. This picture is pretty much the coolest one ever. I took it mid sneeze for Ryland. He looks like he is about to cry, but he is just sneezing! 

Happy 5 Months Ryland! 

Puppy Love

Ryland loves, LOVES, dogs! We were watching one of Lance's co-workers dogs last week. Baylee and Diesel really liked eachother, and loved going after eachother. Ryland was in heaven watching them. Check it out...Oh and sorry it is so dark, we forgot to turn the lights on! 

 

Family Reunion

This last weekend we had the ramsey family reunion. It was super fun. We all got to revert back to our childhood and enjoyed an afternoon full of slip-n-sliding. It was a blast. I forgot how thrilling it was to run up a hill and slide down a tarp with water! Seriously! Not to menchin the great work out it was! We enjoyed the whole day at the park with family playing games, doing treasure hunts and remembering our family history. Here are a few picture highlights. Ryland was loving napping in his stoller that morning. 

Hanging out with the family.

My nephew Thomas is halarious. This is his elephante sound. And yes, he ran into his bed so he does have a huge scratch right above his lip. :)

And the slip-n-slide. 

I love this one of Lance, he just looks like a young boy again having the time of his life. So fun! 

We had a great reunion and can't wait for the next one!
