a lot and then nothing

hello! i missed the month of june.... i was doing so good and then i forgot. i guess not a lot happened in june  but then again a lot happened in june. it also went by really fast. i dont know. but im here now! just for you, whoever reads this, even if its just me in 10 years.

so! since i last left off, Alicia came to visit the weekend after memorial day. it was so fun to have her around. we were able to let her not sleep in for all of her days off. ryker loves to wake up at 7 so 7 it was. she was a good sport about it. and who can resist that face. i mean really. we had lots of fun! she let justin and i go out on a date. we went to a movie and saw xmen days of future past. it was super good. i recommend it. we played a lot here in the apartment. we went to the beach! its about 2 hrs away so its kind of a one time deal. but it was good. colder than i thought it would be. temperature was in the 60's there with a wind chill. i needed a sweater but of course no one thought to bring one with the 90+ degrees in bakersfield. i have not even touched a jacket since moving here. but it was good. justin set up a small wind break that helped. ryker was lathered in sunscreen and promptly fell in the sand and covered himself. but he had a lot of fun. we all just lounged but he was up and moving and having a great time. tried to run across the sand lots. made sand castles with aunt licia. we went and touched the water. all the good stuff. Alicia and i on monday went to see maleficent. it was good! we decided the effects and actors were great, but the story was a little half baked. it could have been really really good. it was just missing substance. but thats okay! we still liked it.

lets see... then in mid June justin had a trip to North dakota. it was actually pushed back a week in order to not conflict with another supervisor that was going. he had a great trip and they let him use thursday to find a place for us. and he did! found us a 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 2 story, 2 car heated garage thats attached. its in a great neighborhood. he is 5 min from work. its awesome. we are so excited and anxious to get this move started. gah! so much space! he did tell me we can even look into getting real couches. not just the futon in our living room. and a mount for the tv so it can be high and ryker wont play with it. that will help a ton. as well as a few other things. but we need to recover financially from the move first before we start buying furniture. but we are still so excited!

right before the trip someone decided to try and steal gas from our truck. that was very rude of them... they were not successful and security caught them, but they did make a hole in our gas tank. we were able to collect what was dripping. then after work justin found a way to plug it up. good work. but this means we get to replace the gas tank before we move. awesome....

so while justin was on his north dakota trip i decided that i didnt want to spend a few nights alone with ryker in a place where i hear sirens every night and i cant take a walk around the neighborhood. so we went to visit carlee! she came up for my birthday so it was fun to go down to mesa. we got to see aunt daryn and her family. missed uncle doug, but i was told he is doing well. i got to see aunt jill and her family. her little brooklyn is a doll. a chunker, but a mighty cute one. i saw clay one night, and lindsay and josh, and i got to meet ambers whole family. that was fun. i didnt get around to seeing aunt penny and uncle edd, but i can see them for the 24th. so it will be okay. we had lots of fun being with carlee and going with her to activities. i only felt minorly awkward that im married with a baby and its a singles activity. but i went along anyway and we had a great time. singles ward was the weirdest i must admit.

anyways, life is pretty good here. we are a few weeks away from moving and are so ready to get out of the heat! visiting arizona it was 110 and i wanted to die it was so hot. but here its only 90! except now its july and we are getting to 110. so that means i will never go outside! haha! beat that.... i will do all my shopping and such before 9 am. that will fix everything.

i guess in other news mostly because its been spread around anyway. i am expecting baby deitrick number 2! its been good. i have been sick like before, but i know better how to handle it which is nice. i have only thrown up once or twice. but i am still loosing weight. darn i always forget that im supposed to gain my first trimester... it is getting better though. i did go to the dr once while i was here in bakersfield just to make sure everything is okay before we move. he said size feels right for how far along i am and the heartbeat it strong! so little one is doing good.

I know they are not in order. i still dont know how to fix it. dont judge. also im trying to do this before little boy wakes up so im in a hurry to get it done and too lazy to move them around. enjoy the pics! its what you get. love you all! even though im the only one reading this in the future.

he gets a bit dirty changing the gas tank. this is a common weekend sight here at our place. 

playing superman! could work better with a shirt that has a tighter collar

mr big shot! in tribute to all family sports fans. because we are not. 

teaching him how to drive the truck early  ;)  its an important skill. 

i know its blurry, but i cant make a 1 year old stay still and smile for a pic. 

rykers fathers day gift for justin! 

walking in dads shoes! i think the steel toe is still a little heavy to lift.

burying our toes on the beach with aunt licia

i am clearly not trendy. cant even take a selfie right. but carlee and i are making cookies! they were delicious. 

more fun at the beach

this is a day i was feeling real sick so i stayed on the couch mostly. but ryker was good to play around me and on occasion on top of me. that didnt feel as good. 

our little relief from the wind. 

he loved playing on this ball at aunt carlees. he would roll it around the whole apartment. 

me at 14 weeks. a lot of it is extra skin from baby number 1. but its getting a little more roundy haha. 

he wanted to help dad get some gloves for his project. so he took them all out

lounging watching top gear with dad

playing with aunt licia at the beach!

a good family photo before things get too exciting with baby number 2

i like this one the best. 

Rkyer at the water at the beach. He really did enjoy it

Playing at the beach. Man he is cute

we put him in time out and he decided to play a game to get out of it. we were laughing so hard it wasnt so much a punishment anymore. 

He loves the opening credits scene from any show i watch. he loves to dance along and stomp and wave his arms. its hilarious

He had so much fun playing with Londyn and Channing. they were nice enough to share their toys and he had a ball.
