I'M 22 MONTHS OLD!!

WEIGHT:  25.6 lbs
FAVORITE ACTIVITY:  Watching ABC clips on YouTube, playing in the rocks and dirt, looking at cactus
FAVORITE WORDS:  Ayla's house, cactus (still), Dada work
FAVORITE BOOK:  The going to bed book, Go Dog Go
DISLIKE:  Getting in trouble.  A few weeks ago, I found him dumping his whole juice box on the carpet.  I told him no and picked him up and placed him away from the mess.  He immediately started crying like it was the end of the world!
MOM'S FAVORITE:  Last week we were both sick again so the only way he would take a nap is if I laid down with him.  I loved taking naps with my boy
DAD'S FAVORTIE:  How excited Ryden gets to watch him skateboard.

I....love...CACTUS!

My mom would always go up to Ryden and say "I....love...YOU"  And Ryden would answer with "I....love...CACTUS"  So we had to take plenty of pictures by the cactus


Rehearsal time

We all got together to practice our walks down the aisle.  Most of the time was spent watching the kids run around and trying to pay attention.  
Jacob had other ideas of what to do with the ring bearer pillow
Flower girls...so adorable!  Addy (the little blonde) looks exactly like I did when I was little!

Howdy Partner!

While in Tucson, it is always fun to go re-live the cowboy days down at Old Tucson.  A place with horses, train rides, gun fights, stage coaches, and haunted mines.  We went with Aunt Sara, Grandpa, and all the kids.  Ben loved the haunted mine, Jacob loved the carousel, Emma loved the stairs, and Ryden loved the dirt and puddles
It wasn't crowded at all so we got to ride all the rides by ourselves.  Ryden was so impressed with the train ride as shown below
Jacob loved the "ding ding"
Cousin Jacob and Ryden splashing in the puddles
Me and Emma chowin' down on some snacks while Ben was in the Haunted mine
We had a great time but had to leave once the melt downs started.  See ya later Wild Wild West



Our new favorite video

After we watch the entire thing....Ryden says "More, more, mas..." He would watch it all day on repeat if I let him.  Thank goodness Aunt Sara and Papa let us have their copy!
