a is for artwork

is case you haven't been an active follower of this blog,
ryker is a huge kid. just ask the babies at his school.

at home, ryks loves to sit down next to the dogs
and then fall back on them to cuddle.
apparently ryks does the same thing to babies
who are sitting on the playtime mat.

to solve the issue of human pillows,
ryker's teachers started putting him in the
two and three year old class for activity time.
this means we now get artwork every day.

the class just started the alphabet.
this week, ryks brought home colored pictures of
ants, acorns, apples, and more.
(this usually means we have an impressive
piece of art with four crayon lines.)

i love all this artwork but hope i'll
balance my tendencies to save everything
with the realization of the amount of
artwork coming our way.

and because i know people (grandmas and ashley)
prefer pictures on this blog - i found some.
i came across a couple more from
the rio tinto family night.

ryker throws everything and now has a great arm.
here he is practicing his soccer throw in.




and this is one of my favorite pictures of mad max.
he is an adorable baby - absolutely perfect.

weddick cousins

it took a while but we
finally got a picture of
the weddick cousins!
we had a hard time
getting all of them to
look at the camera.
but i figured
grandma and grandpa weddick
would love any pictures.

blink

we blinked and july was over.
summer is my favorite time of year.
we have enjoyed swimming,
lazy days,
fireworks,
wonderful visitors,
family parties,
and
great friends.

somewhere along the way,
ryks learned to walk,
starting saying "uh oh"
(at appropriate times),
learned to blow kisses,
played with the hose,
watched soccer games,
and continued to
grow up so quickly.
