Ryder & Jazz game

We were a little bored today so I took some pics of my big boy and think they turned out pretty cute.  Enjoy!

Serious Ryder...

Our mischievous Ryder...We see this look a lot!

Sweet Ryder...

Wild Ryder...

Here is a pic from our seats at the Jazz game the other night.  We sat 2 rows behind the visitors bench and had the VIP tickets to take advantage of all the free food!  It was fun to get out just as a couple and do something we don't normally get to do.

I love my hubby and spending time just us especially because it doesn't happen very often right now with a new baby.  Love you babe!

Phone Photos

Here are some random photos!  My bro took a couple family pics for us so that we had something of all 4 of us and the rest are from my phone.  There are a ton of pics so hang in there with me. : )

ENJOY!

Jayden snuggling with her Popi

Ryder's sense of style must come from his dad!  Dads tie, big boy underwear and cowboy boots on the wrong feet!  Definitely takes after his dad!

My snoozing angel

Ryder was sick right when Jayden was born and threw up on himself at my parents house.  They put him in one of my brother Cole's baseball shirts while his clothes washed and he loved it!  Now every time we go over there he has to wear Cole's shirt.  It is really cute especially because Cole is on his mission right now.

Ryder and I are trying to do an activity everyday with the weather being so crappy.  This day was painting!  Of course . . . for a 2 year old no clothes for painting!

This was today's activity since it is supposed to rain/snow the next 3-4 days!  Ryder LOVED the sidewalk chalk.  It was fun to be outside even just for a little.  I love this boy and he loves giving fishy kisses : )

Ryder's version of "swimming."  This boy definitely loves his daily tub time!

Jayden Dee Thurgood

7 lbs. 15 oz.

18.5 inches long

PERFECT!

This is me just arriving at the hospital and in my room at St. Marks.  I went into my Dr appt the day before at 38 weeks and had had some issues with slowed down movement and a few other little glitches.  So Dr. Watts thought it would be best to get started the next morning.  As paniced as I was it was nice to be able to be totally packed and have a babysitter all figured out. So here comes a long day but a great one knowing our baby girl was coming and 2 weeks early.

Here we are with our new baby girl Jayden!

Jayden and her daddy!

Ryder snuggling with his new sister!  He loves her and is doing great as long as we remind him to be soft : )  That is a hard thing for a 2 year old.

Finally coming home from the hospital . . . and as a family of 4!  WEIRD!!!

Christmas Eve & Day!

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas.  Every year we do Christmas Eve with my family and Day with the Thurgoods.  It works out great.  Christmas morning we experienced the first year of having a child that really understands Santa... IT WAS AWESOME!!! 

 

This is Christmas Eve at the Butchers!

 

My sister and her fam live in Boise so this is everyone else.  The boys: (really excited about this photo) my boys, Popi, Dustin, Miles, Ty &puppy chipper.

 

The girls: Nana, me, Kristin & Stacy.  It will be nice to add a baby girl to this photo next year!  We are obviously out numbered!

 

Ryder was a bit tired plus had a nasty cold (on antibiotics) so was exhausted after opening pjs!

 

Christmas morning coming down the stairs to see if Santa came!!!  With Ryder being sick and sooo beyond excited about Santa coming we started Christmas REALLY early... like 3:30am!!!  Yikes!Merry Christmas! ha ha

 

The only thing he ended up asking for was a Big Boy Bike!  Luckily he was pretty good so that is exactly what he got! Too bad its snowing outside, the living room and kitchen just aren't big enough. : )  A little weird to have a kid old enough that understands Santa and wants a legit bike.

After opening presents at home we went to the cabin to have a very winter wonderland Christmas at the cabin taking snowmobiles to get there and all!  Grandma and Grandpa gave Ryder a helmet to go with his new bike and this 4 wheeler to stay at their house to play with!  It kept him busy which was nice!  He also got a leappad2 from them that he will love as soon as either his Mom or Dad set it up!

 

Christmas night we go to Christians grandparents house.  Ryder was pretty good until he realized he was running a long day on only about 5 hours of sleep when he is used to about 10-12 plus a nap still.  So this photo concludes our Christmas perfectly!  It was hilarious and definitely much needed bedtime.



Santa AGAIN!

Just 1 week before Christmas we were over at Christians parents house for dinner and Santa showed up!  Ryder was again a little nervous then after a few minutes (and a couple presents) he was doing much better and even gave Santa a snuggle on the way out.  Santa is a big Jazz fan (incase you didn't know) and brought Ryder a Jazz jersey, little jazz bear and a bell off of one of his Reindeer!  Ryder was so excited!  Thank you Santa!

 

And yes, my belly is getting huge!

 

Santa!

We had our ward Christmas Party on Saturday night and Santa was there!  Ryder was so excited to see him until it came to actually sitting on his lap.  So instead this was plan B.  Ryder sat with me while Christian and I snuggled with Santa.  He gave Santa a High Five and Bones and when Santa asked him what he wanted he just said, "1 present."  I'm pretty sure Santa can handle 1 present this year! : )  Ryder was just stoked to get his candy cane!
