Our First Mother's Day!

Well our first Mother's Day was great other than the fact that I was sick all day! But it was great and I was spoiled as usual. Mitch wanted to make me breakfast and I appreciated the gesture but wasn't feelin up to it. Instead he made a great lunch and by that time I was feeling a little better so I did get to eat something. :)

Ruger learned to crawl that day as well! Happy Mother's day to me! Thought he was into everything before, guess again its even worse now because he is faster and getting from point A to point B. I love it though its so cute to see him figure things out and how excited he gets when he gets to where he wants to be without any help. He is growing so fast! Now that he is crawling it didn't take him long to pull himself up to everything. Before he would use my shirt or my arm, now its everything else from the couch to his toy shelf. He'll be walking before we know it!

Ruger and I made a trip to Idaho the week before Mother's day so we could attend Mykala's final track meet and Nick and Dillan's baseball games and everything else that went on between them! While we where there Ruger learned who his "bum-pa" (Grandpa) is! That was his first word! I had been trying to get him to say "ma ma" all day and my dad walks up to him and he says "bum-pa"!  It was so cute, I will say though that I am still a little jelous. At first I thought it was just a new sound he was saying but nope everytime my dad walked into a room he would say it! He knows what he is talking about. :) So when Ruger gets to see his other "bum-pa" I am sure Paul will be proud that he said that as well!

Doesn't he look so handsome in his cute little tie!

 
Grumpy gills with his daddy! I love them both so much!

7 Months!

Its so hard to believe that Ruger is now 7 months old! I don't know where the time has gone. He isn't crawling yet but he sure does know how to get around the little house. He is playing with his toys one min watching Curious George and the next he is under my feet in the kitchen while I do dishes or make dinner. He will spin in circles and push himself wherever he wants to go. I think having no carpet helps him do this! He is so curious about everything. Everyday he is into something new trying to figure out how it works or what it is. So cute to watch him learn.

He has his daddy wrapped around his little finger. Mitch was out of town for a couple days and when he got back all Ruger wanted to do was be with his dad. Especially if daddy was outside doing something he wanted to be out there too. It has been such a nice week that Ruger and I have spent a lot of time out in the sun enjoying it! Yesterday Mitch and I took Ruger out to car show and we walked around town all day. We put a jacket on Ruger along with his sunglasses and he was set. As long as the stroller is moving and he is sitting up he loves it. We even walked around the mall and watched the pinewood derby races for a min. I can already tell its going to be hard to get this little one to come in the house for anything once its warm enough to play out there all day!


I am not sure of his weight now but at his 6 month appointment he was 18 lbs 6 oz. He is getting so big! He got his first tooth a couple days before his 7 month birthday! Lets just say it was a hard week for both of us but now at least he has something to show for it!


 
Our happy lil boy! He pulls the cutest faces!

 
He just plows over anything and everything!

Always laughing and having fun watching Curious George!

Trip to Idaho!

We made a trip to Idaho a couple weeks ago. While we were there we went to my sister, Mykala's track meet. That was fun to watch I am proud of Mykala for being a part of that. It looks like fun when the wind isn't blowing! ha ha. After the track meet we went to Idaho Falls to meet with the Heiner family and have lunch. Ruger had a chance to play with his cousins! He had so much fun. He was so tired by the time we hit the main road to head back to Rexburg, he was out!

Sat night Ruger got to meet my dad's new calves! He thought those were pretty cool. It was pretty cold so we didn't get to see them for long but our next visit hopefully its warm enough we'll go out and help feed and maybe Ruger will pet the horses.

Sunday we went to Shelley for our best friends baby blessing! Mike and Brittney blessed their sweet baby Ayden! He is so cute & growing so fast! We decided to take some pictures of the two of them together it was so funny to watch their expressions. 

 
Best Friends!
