2 Months Old!

Ryler turned 2 months old yesterday! Such a big boy! He is just getting more and more fun. We just love him!

A little bit about Ryler... He loves watching us. His eyes follow everyone as we move around the room. He especially watching Tray as he runs and dances and makes faces at his little brother. Ryler coo's and smiles and yells when he wants some attention. He is nursing like a champ now to my great relief. He sleeps for 5-6 hours at a time at night which has been awesome. Its funny how amazing 5 hours of sleep can feel with an infant around, when any other time in life you would be complaining about "only" getting five hours ha ha. Anyways, Ryler loves taking showers but hates taking baths lol. And he loves snuggling with Darren, I assume because Darren is always so warm and snuggly :) Ryler is such a good baby which we are very grateful for. He is so chill. He is happy as a clam to be packed around and passed around or lay on the ground or be put in his chair when my hands need to be doing something else. He has a very cute smile which I'm having hard time catching on camera. But when we do get those big smiles out of him we can see one very cute dimple in his right cheek :) He has pretty steely blue eyes just like Tray and his eyelashes are getting longer by the day. On the one hand my heart aches thinking 2 months have already gone by, but on the other hand I am Loving the stage he is in and am looking forward to those still to come.

Half a smile.

Who could resist that handsome face?

I love his chunky chins :)

I caught him mid sentence lol He was telling a very elaborate story :)

I couldn't resist taking a pic when I saw his chubby little hands like this.

Things here in WY are going pretty well. Darren is still working like a madman and is very tired by the time he gets home. Its hard not being able to spend as much time with him but I am very grateful for a husband who is willing to work so hard so I can stay home with our babies and we can still have a nice life. The weather outside is cold and windy. Shocking right? So we spend our time in doors. We were able to attend our ward for the first time yesterday which was wonderful. It was so good to be back and to see old friends. And to make a good day even better, Tray loved nursery! He always had a hard time in our ward in Logan, I'm not sure why... but he ran right in and just loved it. A couple friends told us about story time at the library on Monday mornings so we went to that today which Tray also loved. Darren got a new car last week (yay!) so now I have mine to be able to go to these things. We love not being stranded at home. Having some friends, and a few things to get out and do makes our days a lot more fun.

Tray REALLY wishing he could go play ouside :(

Darren's new car!!

(or one exactly like it lol)

I don't actually have a pic of HIS car. But he LOVES it.

Ryler's Blessing

Ryler was blessed yesterday, February 20th in my parents ward. Ryler was given a very wonderful blessing by his Daddy, accompanied by his Grandpas and Uncles. Afterward we went back to my parents house where Ryler enjoyed endless amounts of snuggles and the rest of us enjoyed some super yummy food. Thanks to all who were able to come and to those who wanted to but couldn't due to yucky weather. Thanks to all who helped with food, and a HUGE thanks to my Mamma for making it all happen!

Man of the hour :)

So Handsome :)

Our attempt at a family picture. Tray was very excited about it as you can see lol

Unpacking

** First I wanted to clarify for our WY friends that we did indeed move back to Rock Springs. We are in the Silver Ridge apartments again. So we will see you guys at church! We need to get some volleyball going again too :) **

The last couple weeks for us have been pretty boring to tell ya the truth. The boys and I really don't go anywhere. We stay at home and do our thing cause Darren takes our only car to work. Darren has been working insane hours which have been killing us all. He leaves at 6 in the morning and never gets home before 7 at night. Its awful! The poor thing is so tired. He is running on a route that should have split ages ago cause its HUGE. So he is working himself to death. He is so tired by the time he gets home I barely have time to get food in him after he showers before he's ready to crash. Hopefully things improve soon! Its been rough not seeing him. So the unpacking is going pretty slow. There are still boxes all around. I do what I can between feedings and playing with Tray and making sure they gets fed and bathed and clothed, while trying to exercise eat AND shower everyday. lol There just isn't enough time to unpack. Plus we have all been sick which hasn't made life any easier on anyone. Poor Ryler is still throwing up. Any suggestions on how to get him to stop? lol He's not normally a throw up baby.. I guess I just have to wait till this darn bug decides to leave us all alone. But on the happier note, we will be headed down to Sandy this weekend to bless Ryler in my parents ward. We figured it'd be better than making everyone drive all the way to Rock Springs and trying to get our place ready in time. I'm really excited! So my next post will be about that I'm sure! We also just got our tax return back which is amazing so we are planning to go get Darren his own car so I wont have to be stranded here all the time anymore Yay. :) Sorry this was so boring. But we are pretty boring these days lol

Just a few pictures :)

My sweet sleeping boys.

I really cherish these moments! Before I know it they're always awake again lol

Tray's MEGA lashes! They're incredible just like Darren's

Ryler loves being up and looking around

Ha ha Look at those chins. I love my Chunk-a-lunk :)

On To Colder and Windier Things

This cute boy is all bundled up and ready to face some intense WYOMING wind.

Yep, we're back in Wyoming as of yesterday. Darren's dad is down two drivers and really needed some help. Darren wanted to help his dad and decided he wanted to move back and drive a FedEx route for him again. It was early enough in the semester when we decided to make the move that Darren was able to switch his classes to online and will be continuing his education with USU that way. So we are currently surrounded by a million boxes trying to figure out where to start to get everything unpacked and put away. lol The craziness in our lives never ends.

On a more fun, more baby-oriented note...

I took Ryler to the doctor last week to get a few things checked out and found out that he weighed 8 lbs 10 oz!!! At 5 1/2 weeks. (5.7 at birth) That is a BIG boy in our little family. Tray only weighed 9 lbs at his 4 month check up. So we were blown away to find out that our little chunk really is a CHUNK! lol We are so happy and blessed to have such a healthy happy baby.

Well until next time, I'm sure we will unpacking away and trying not to FREEZE!!
