may started out with my birthday! yay! im not big into making things about me. in fact i try to hide the fact that its my birthday quite often. but feeling a little special is nice. Carlee came up to visit! that was awesome. we chilled and had chipotle and played with ryker and had cake. it was really fun! dont hate me i dont remember anything big that happened. but it was a good weekend! lots of fun. and cake is always delicious.
then the next week was mothers day. how lucky am i to get 2 celebrations in basically 1 week. justin and ryker were very sweet and got me a dozen roses. first time i have ever gotten that! i have gotten flowers before, but never a dozen. it made me feel really special. but to make the day even better, it was rykers first birthday! we officially have a 1 year old. holy cow where has the time gone! he is so big now. he loves to walk around. he has this new fascination with walking backwards. its hilarious. he loves cheerios. we are working on our words still but its still gibberish to me. we did figure out nana means food. whether i want more or i want yours or even just im hungry in general. he loves to say dada. still no mama yet. im sad but still love my little boy.
he also gets so excited everyday when dad comes home. he gets so excited when he hears the door. he runs to it and stomps his feet with a huge grin on his face. its perfect. he is such a joy. i love playing with him all day long. for his birthday he got a new outfit and a grover toy from grandma deitrick. he got a book that grandma reed read to him along with some of his favorite songs and lots of birthday wishes. he got some new touch and feel books and some sandals from mom and dad. he had a great birthday. even though it was just the 3 of us here we were able to facetime both grandparents and aunts and uncles that happened to be nearby to sing happy birthday and watch him indulge in his first piece of cake. he may have looked like he was eating a smurf. but he loved it. definitely had a sugar high for a while. then definitely had a sugar crash. he went to sleep real easy.
other than that its been a good month. pretty laid back. we sold the truck and bought a new one. it really was a great deal. its bigger, is a 4x4 so we can use it in ND, extended cab, its super nice. new engine and new transmission. lots of work has been done on it. all right so we really dont have a lot that justin needs to do. i love that. he needs new projects, but i like to see him occasionally on the weekends too. haha. we are happy with it. now just to get the bike sold! sad but a must...
Justin is loving his job. he found out when he is going to ND for the first time so we will be looking at apartments for him to go visit. things are going to change just as fast as we are closer to our move up north.
he was sick with a fever. so after some tylenol he passed out with dad. he never cuddles like this anymore. sad for our sick boy, but loved the cuddles!
he loves to play under the desk.
this is more mom playing with toys at walmart
dad reading him a book. so precious
my beautiful flowers! my boys are so good to me
lovin the cake
the loot!
whenever he wants dads attention he goes and tries to sneak under dads leg to get his attention. its hilarious and i think the cutest thing ever
trying on dads tie. one day son. one day
5 whole teeth now! some of that may be cheerios.
i went into his room one morning and found him like this. i guess he got hot?
no pants day in california. it gets hot! even with AC
our memorial day picnic.
just playing around. he likes to stick things in his mouth and shake!
its fun to move backwards!
