Well we havent done much since breannas visit. we mostly just hung out and prepped for the end of the month. We blessed Rex on the 25th. My parents came Thursday evening. (renting a tahoe to drive that i drooled over all weekend) and spent a day and a half with us befor justins parents came in to town. we had a great grilled steak dinner sat night and spent lots of time playing and laughing. the kids loved all the attention and rex just loves anyone who will hold and snuggle him.
Rylie definitely attached to Grandad and they were buddies all weekend. he was her savior when it was bed or nap time. and she just loved to cuddle and snuggle with him. Then in the following week when we had a great time with Justins parents who got to stay she quickly attached to Grandpa. Something about big strong men she just loves. and whats not to love right? Dads just are the perfect place to snuggle.
Ryker loved playing with lots of new toys. Grandma and Grandpa Deitrick brought all of justins things from the house so that he could "officially" move out. we are both now completely independant of our parents. though we still love to chat and ask advice. no worries. you all are still important. Anyways! so we had all of justins old trucks and his big jean bag full of cars and so many new things to play with. it was hilarious to see justin get all excited about seeing his favorite toys again. ryker didnt want to put any of them away and just had a blast playing with everything. We did put most of them back, but he got to keep a few special ones. he was so devastated. but eventually i think he forgot about them. he will remember when we bring them out for holidays and birthdays in the years to come. hopefully he wont get upset that some are going to Rex too.
Rex is great! he sleeps awesome. He sleeps till about 4 am and then around 730 ish gets up again for the day. its really perfect and i love it. I have definitely been blessed with good sleepers. he is a chunky little boy and i love him so much. he has grown so fast. we have him 2 month check up next week and i am really curious to see how big he is. that double chin of his rivals none.... he gets fussy in the evenings. but thats to be expected. we are still finding that fine line between bed time, and dont sleep too much or youll be up all night.
with grandma and grandpa dietrick we had a great week. Justin took them to see some oil sites and talk to them a little more about what he does. gives a little more reference when you can see it in person. we all went to the park one day. justin, dad, and i went shooting one day. and then lots of play time in between. it was so great! and it will be nice to have the kids remember them when we go down for christmas.
hurray grandad is here!
fun at the park
rockin tummy time and using our neck muscles
you can hardly see it. but along with her cute pony tale, she has these whispy curls over each ear. just to die for i love them.
ryker wanted his picture taken too
rex in blessing attire. this would not have fit a week later
dad getting creative going down the stairs
my first try at pig tales. not great, but not bad. she definitely pulls them off though
this sunday i had to wake rylie up from a nap to get ready for church. firstly its hard enough on my own with 3 kids one being a new born because justin has meetings right before. but makes it harder when they are cranky. ryker really wanted his picture taken, and rylie did not want to be involved! her face is equally sad and hilarious.
so we got this pic of ryker. he is starting to do this thing where when i say cheese he just bows his head and raises his eyebrows really high!
we are mostly happier now, just needed mom to snuggle
ryker likes to play in rex;s car seat during sacrament
ryker took this one. he loves to play with the camera
i love it when i can get a picture of all 3 of my boys together
being like dad and already fitting a wrench in his hand
she is my sweetheart
more practicing keping our head up with grandma
rylie loving the spaghetti!

Dad Deitrick shooting the mosen
snuggles on conference weekend
ryker more just wanted to be in the picture.
more conference but probably less snuggling. i dont think justin is the most comfortable on in this picture
but they do fold their arms for prayer! which is great
the pic I had with grandma deitrick was not great so she gave me one she took. much better
snuggles with grandpa
i just love this pic. she looks so happy. the sun is shining. having a great time with grandpa
we love parks. can you tell?
he is starting to smile! its so great i love them so much. i make a lot of stupid noises and faces to get him to smile
trying on a princess dress
we really love grandad snuggles
see dad still looks good with a baby. he loves that he doesnt have to take care of it in the middle of the night. haha
she loves to climb in the dryer. its so funny. she hasnt figured out how to get out yet though.
