MEGA Update #2 - EASTER!!


Rylend had a great first Easter. Sadly it was wet outside, but what do you expect living in the pacific northwest? So after church we did an easter egg hunt inside up at Grandma and Grandpa Merritt's. Rylend had tons of fun, but he couldnt understand why we wouldnt just let him eat the eggs right when he found them! He kept putting them in his mouth, and before we knew it his spit was colored HA!




One of the family traditions with Shane's family is they fill the living room with balloons. Rylend came in and saw it...and LOVED it. This kiddo LOVES balloons. He likes to smach his face against them and yell or chase them around...






He also got one of those chocolate eggs that has a toy inside. It was SO CUTE watching him realize it was all his to eat. He chowed it down, watching everyone to make sure no one took it away, doing his usual "mmmmmm" as he ate something that tastes gooooood






Gosh I love my little boy. I love being able to have these holidays now and experience them through the adventure of my baby. Mommyhood is the best thing ever, and my family I have makes it all worth while.

MEGA update #1 - One year old shots!!

I am SO behind!!!! So here we go...update mania!
FIRST POSTING!:

The day after Rylend's birthday Shane, Zach and I took him to the park. We have actually never put him in a swing and it was a beautiful day...so why not! Shane and Zach slapped on their roller blades and pushed Rylend in the stroller...and since I have no coordination, I rode the bike. It was a great day and I got tons of ultra cute pics...though Rylend was so intrigued with everyone and everything, I couldnt get any of him actually smiling AT me. Here are a few of my faves, plus a slide with all the rest! (This posting would be WAY too long if I posted them all.......)
