Hello hello again jiggity jig.
so this whole once a month thing is becoming a pattern. i think i will stick with it. not a lot has changed since last time. i still am home with ryker. he still isnt crawling yet, but he is playing and giggling and rolling over a lot. he really does love to watch me make dinner. thats kind of fun.
Justin is still doing great at work and in school. he did have the opportunity to have a phone interview with Polaris. it is exactly what he was looking for and something we would stay with for a long time. even though it is in MN and we would be far from family it was still a great experience. Unfortunately we did not get an onsite interview. that was depressing. we really were excited. But that means we are meant to be somewhere else! We dont know where yet, but it was good to learn from and we will continue to look.
for conference we went to Utah. it was so nice to see family. we stayed with Tricia Justins sister. we spent saturday with my side. got to see carlee, clay, taryn, my aunt heidi and uncle carl, we also went to provo and were able to see my cousin Nick and his wife rachelle. They got married at the end of april so i was very pregnant and not able to make it to their wedding. it was great to see them. we also saw my cousins josh and mckay. we spent the night playing games at aunt heidis before heading back to tricias and then spent sunday with tricia.
I am still learning how to be a mom. you would think that i would be protective of my baby. and i am. but when around family i feel bad because they hardly get to see ryker that i want to let them play with him even though i know better and he really needs to be sleeping. i didnt stand up for him enough saturday. he didnt take a nap all day and so by the evening he was so cranky that he wouldnt fall asleep. it was bad. i felt really bad. and definitely felt like a terrible mother... but i will learn! so come next family gathering sont hate me! but i will take him away from family so he can get a good nap and be happy for the whole day. its more important and my family will forgive me later. thats my story and im sticking to it. justin will help me be strong and do what i need to.
really that is all i have to report. Ryker is loving his oatmeal in the morning and at night. he gets super messy and hates it when i have to wipe his face, but will open wide and gobble it up. most nights...
