James & Annie Wedding Day Luncheon

Here are a couple photos from Solitude Ski Resort for James and Annie's Wedding Luncheon

Here are a couple more photos I took from the luncheon (I am not posting any of James and Annie because they haven't even seen them yet!)

Ryder is almost 11 months old!

Hey everyone!  Here are some photos of our crazy man.  I took them and am really enjoying and starting to get into photography.  So if you want family photos or anything, let me know! I hope to get a little more experience and have a site specifically for that but in the meantime, here you go!

GO UTES!

At the UTAH - BYU party!  It was a great night to be a Utah Fan!  Ryder even needed a shirt for the occasion.

Our crazy little UTE!

Ryder with Grandpa Ken (a big BYU fan).  Sorry about the loss Grandpa, glad to see no hard feelings for your UTAH grandchildren or great-grandson!  Love Ya!

Labor Day

Over Labor Day we went up to the cabin.  This is Ryder and I just hanging out at the lake.

For some reason I can always get Ryder to smile for pictures, so every picture of Ryder and Christian they both have a smile on their face.  If you look above, Ryder always has a silly look on his face with me.  What's up with that???!!!

My two children (Christian and Ryder), have started their new thing of building huts around the house.

Lake Powell

Last week we had the opportunity to meet the Thurgood family and friends in Lake Powell.  We took Ryder with us so we were only there Wednesday to Saturday (plenty of time with the 100+ degree heat and a 9 month old crazy man)!

Driving the houseboat with Grandpa

Grandma Lynnie, Ryder and I

PS3 anyone???

Christian doesn't get a chance to play his PS3 very often and when he gets that chance he now has to share.   Here is a photo of Ryder and his Dad playing some NBA live!

Ryder is climbing up onto anything and everything, standing and trying his best to balance!  We have had a few nasty falls with some black eyes but so far so good.

A Day at the Zoo

The Keddingtons were in town so we took the kids to the Zoo for the day.

St. George

A couple weeks ago we had the opportunity to go down to St. George for a little vacation with my 2 sisters and their families for the weekend.  We boated at Sand Hollow and relaxed for the weekend.  We had such a great time, here are some photos from the trip.

Ryder and his cousin Camryn could not have been happier to get out of their life jackets and play in the water and on the beach.  Sand Hollow is definitely one of my favorite lakes and has the most unbelievable beach!

Curtis (left), Tate (right) and I on the tube.  Tate was definitely the master of the tube!

The babes just chillin in their life jackets.

Christian skiing

My face shows I was working really hard to learn to surf (it was obviously my first time). 

But hey . . . I GOT UP!

Scooter (that is what my nephews call Christian) and our nephew Tate.

A day off from the lake.  We hung out in the pool and tried to keep ryder from getting sun burned.

Hanging out with his dad.

Ryder is one happy boy!

The Butcher sisters -  Kristin, Brandee & I.

Our little family after a weekend of fun and dinner at the Pizza and Pasta Factory.  A short but fun vacation with the fam!

4th of July & Christian's 26th Birthday!

All dressed up for the Oakley Rodeo.

Hanging out with Grandpa at the Rodeo.

Ryder's first time on a boat and first time in a life jacket.

This is the one and only smile we got from Ryder - and it is because he is not wearing his life jacket, and because he is getting to drive the boat with his Dad.  Don't worry . . . we were at the dock. (We had to take a break to keep him from screaming).

Ryder screamed himself to sleep in my arms.  I was also tired so we caught a quick nap together.

Up at the cabin after a fun 4wheeling ride.

Watching fireworks with Dad.

Up at the cabin with Thurgoods and the Butchers for Christian 26th birthday.

It was really hot up at the cabin so Ryder hung out in just his diaper.  He was just chilling with his Papi.

A really fun weekend of boating, the rodeo, Christian's birthday, a weekend at the cabin, and fireworks!

California and Disneyland!

We just returned home from Newport Beach, California and 2 days at Disneyland.  We had so much fun with the Thurgood family.  Here are a few photos from the trip.

Hello eyelashes!!!
