Early birthday present

Jason's friend Jennifer sent Ryden his birthday present a few months early.  His very first pair of True Religions!  They are a bit too long right now but I will be rollin' those suckers up so that he can get the best use out of them.  Thank you Jennifer so much for the jeans and the super cute shirt as well (pictures to follow of the shirt).  I...uhh...I mean Ryden....LOVES THEM!!!

The End

Leo Carrillo Ranch

Today we all took a walk up to Leo Carillo Ranch. This is such a cool place to go because there are peacocks wandering around the whole area.  Ryden loved this!  He was up close and personal with one peacock and was "talking" to him.  Then we took the babes to a grassy area and let them play.  Something fun and different to do

Cool peacock

I took a few cool shots of each of the babies:

Tucson

Jason went to Tahoe for the weekend so Ryden and I jet-setted to Tucson to spend some time with the AZ fam.  Ryden did excellent on the plane ride of course and was so happy to see grandma and grandpa waiting for us when we landed.  We had so much fun although it was quite windy and slightly chilly.  Ryden has been struggling with a cold and had a crusty/snotty nose the entire time.  His face was also so chapped and in several of the pics he looks like he got a hold of a cherry snow cone.
I got to squeeze in some friend time (Cathy and Marcy) but most of the time was spent with the cousins, sisters, aunts, and grandparents.  Tons of activities....soccer games, soup kitchens, first time in the pool, and lots of GG time. 

 First taste of an eegee...a Tucson favorite

Where's Waldo?  The boys have this book memorized and could find Waldo in a second

Jacob sharing his toys with baby Ryden

Ryden learned a new trick....rolling his eyes.  It was sooo funny!

Hangin' with baby Emma

Emma and Grandpa

We went to an open gym where the kids could run around and jump on things.  Even Marcy brought her kiddies.  Aunt Sara walked Ryden all around this place.  Her poor back!  Meanwhile, I sat back and hogged Emma

Windy windy Tucson'

Grandma always snapping pictures

Hangin' with Aunt Elyse reading his favorite book.  Green eggs and ham

Bath time in the big boy tub!

Yay for girls night out....Congrats to Cathy!!  Friend on the way for Ryden.  (whoa Lady Gaga lips Marcy!)

Hangin with Auntie Katie

Ben's first soccer game!!  Goooo Wolves!  Instead of chasing after the ball...Ben was talkin' to the ladies...but he did make one good goalie!

Ryden had no interest in the game....just wanted to walk and walk and walk (and yes it was super windy that day also if you notice my hair!)

Yummy soup kitchen.  Pa cooked for a small army!

Girl couch (missing Sara!  She is probably walking with Ryden)

Boy couch

On our last day we all went over to Aunt Chris's house (Uncle Dale was skiing in Park City) to keep her company.  The pool was a little to cold so we all huddled in the jacuzzi.  I bought a little bikini for Emma and almost DIED when I saw her in it.  She was soooooo cute!!!  Ryden loved being in the water and proceeded to splash everyone around him.  I was hoping to get some color on my "white as ghost" legs but it's going to take a lot more than an hour in the sun to help me!

Umm hello......LOVE HER!

First time in the pool! (ok it was more like a huge bathtub)

We had so much fun with everyone and miss you guys!!

I'M 10 MONTHS OLD!!

WEIGHT:  20.2 lbs

LENGTH:  28 3/4 inches

FAVORITE TOY:  my planner and anything that spins

FAVORITE ACTIVITY:  Climbing the stairs (he is quite good now), flipping through books, and as I type this he is taking all of the papers out of the office trash can! 

MILESTONES:  Crawling (ALOT), rolling tounge (although he doesn't do this much anymore), climbing the stairs, taking his first steps (6 steps are the most so far), very mobile now, can fall gracefully and pull himself up on anything!  This month was full of big changes

DISLIKES:   sitting still (unless he has a book in front of him)

MOM'S FAVORITE:  I always say this but watching him with Jason.  Jason has a way of making him laugh and that makes me laugh.  This kid has the most infectious laugh!  Also, seeing him take steps for the first time was pretty freakin' awesome!

DAD'S FAVORITE:  Seeing him teach himself to climb the stairs.  This just means he can have him on the skateboard that much quicker!

And these below pictures are the best.  Apparently someone didn't want to participate in the 10 month photo shoot!

Goin' down!!!!
