My little girl...

My oh my, where has the time gone? It is sad to think that my little girl is going to be 9 before we know it. She is growing up into such a caring young girl. Soon she will be a teenager and I will be wanting to keep her locked in her room until she is 30. But until then, I will enjoy her gossip stories every night on the way home and watch her follow around her so called "boyfriend" at a school event. Had this happen last night at the school fun night, this is where kids go around the school and play fun little games for prizes and they can get face paintings and win prizes. Any who, last night I took her to fun night and she was having a hard time picking what she wanted to do and it was a lot of arguing back and forth and telling her that we might as well go home then. Well after a little while she must of spotted her so called "boyfriend" and she knew exactly where she wanted to go and after each game what game would be next. So it took this momma a little bit to catch on but it finally happened and we were following around this boy, every game he went we went there too. My how it has changed since she was 5 and just starting school.
So of course, this is where it reads, I should enjoy this time right now with her because when those teenage years hit, I will be locked out of her room and only talked to when something is wanted. I hope not, but I was a teenager once and remember what went through my head. Until then, I will enjoy what I have now!!

Ryder-18 months

Do you know how hard it is to get some "good" shots of Ryder? Very hard, he hates to get his picture taken and never ever will smile for the camera. His new thing now is, when I pull out the camera he will turn look at me and say "cheese" and then take off running. Kinda like, ha ha mommy, you will not get one good shot of me because I am a little stinker!!!

So hard to believe Ryder is 18 months old, well was, of course it takes me a month later to blog about him turning 18 months old. So at 18 months old he has quite the vocabulary, such as, ooohhhh my, 1, 2, free 4, 5 (then jump off of anything he can, such as stairs chairs, couches), ready, set,go (of course he runs after he says this), please, thank you, bite, ouch and many many more. He is just a independent like guy, and loves being outside, as he says shooo, for put my shoes on and side, for wanting to go outside. He is my perfect little handful and I am enjoying every minute with him. He is quite the little man and is ALLLL boy!!! Here is a few pictures that I tried to get of him.

As you can see, not one smile, but lots of goofy faces for me!!! Got to love him!!
