The Last Year!!

Here are some pictures from this last year. I know that I have been so bad at updating the blog but I'm having a lazy night so I will update it. Things are the same here at the Perkins house except for the fact that we have a new addition to our little family. Kaitlyn Elisabeth Perkins should be coming around May 7th. We are very exited to have a little girl at our house. Ryder is excited for the baby. He likes to pretend to take her out of my stomach and hold her and kiss her. Sometimes he does drop her but he always kisses her better. I can't believe that they have started fighting already. At church on Sunday he put his head on my stomach and she kicked him. He didn't think that was very nice to his punched my stomach very softly and told her to be nice. I can't believe how big my little boy is getting. He is still very much into all kinds of sports. He is NOT a fan of sleeping in his own bed but we are working on that.

Here is Ryder with his cousins Addison and Shea Shae and Hunter.

Here are the cute girls watching the elephants.

Ryder and his cousin Brayden wanting to go on rides at the carnival. They LOVE playing together and are SO funny.

Here are my cute boys making root beer at Grandma Connie's house for Halloween. This is what happens when they don't shave.

Here is Ryder and POOH POOH cleaning the house. I am a mean Mom and make them clean.

SNOWMOBILES!!!

This is Shae Shae going up a big hill with Uncle Mitch. She had so much fun.

She looks so cute in her snowmobiling stuff.

Here is Ryder on a ride with me. Doesn't he look comfy?

He looks so small on the snowmobile. He may not talk a lot but he has a sound effect for the snowmobiles that is very good and its is NOT the same sound as motorcycles or trucks. They all have there own sounds.

OMG can you believe that I saw HANNAH MONTANA!!! I was so excited to see that she was up snowmobiling. I went to ask for her autograph and then I realized that it was just Addison. When I asked her if she was Hannah Montana she informed me that it was just the glasses. She is SO funny. You never have a dull moment with little Addison. She is SO excited to big a big sister in May. She hopes that the baby is going to be pretty and white!! If only we could spend a minute in her mind so see what she is thinking.

Here is Ryder trying to see what his Dad is doing on the snowmobiles. He just had to know everything that was going on with them. While we were getting the snowmobiles ready to go we only had one snowmobile running and Ryder HAD to be on that snowmobile. He is just like his Dad.

All weekend whenever Ryder saw a helmet he had to wear one. I personally think that a diaper goes really well with a helmet.

This is Ryder after a nice long ride. As you can tell from this picture and many more of him is that snowmobiling puts him right to sleep. He couldn't stay away for more then 5 minutes on one. Now if I could only figure out how to have one handy for when he doesn't want to sleep in the middle of the night at home.

Here he is sleeping again on a ride. It was hard to ride with a little boy so tired.

He was made for snowmobiling.

My Cute PUPPY!!

Ryder was a very cute puppy for Halloween. He loved going trick or treating because he loves candy. He is just getting so big. He's starting to say more words instead of just grunting.

Grandma & Grandpa Idaho

Grandma and Grandpa Idaho were they best. The first time that I met Mitch's Grandpa (right after Mitch got home from his mission) he ask for a grandson. After we got married he made me promise to give him a grandson to pass on the family name. You have no idea how excited I was to tell him that we were having a boy. I think he was just so happy. In the picture of him holding Ryder after the blessing he got a little choked up looking at Ryder. I will always remember how much he loved Ryder.

I'm really going to missing going up to Idaho and spending time with them. Yes I will even miss all of the long stories they use to tell. They were the best people ever. They excepted me with no questions asked. I love them so much and am so blessed that I was able to know them. They will forever be watching over all of there family. I know how special we all were to them.

BOY can this BOY eat!!!

It's so much fun because Ryder is getting to the point that he smiles for the camera.

He likes to pose as you can tell.

I let Ryder have some Red Vines on our way up to Idaho.

NOT the best idea as I realized soon what a big mess he would make.

This boy LOVES ice cream so very much. I don't know how he stays so clean

He's posing again

His favorite thing to eat is anything healthy. He loves fruit and Veggies. Olives are his favorite food to eat because they fit perfectly onto his fingers.

Ryder's Birthday

Here are all of Ryder's cute cousin's that came to his birthday party.

Ryder LOVES his cousins so much

Ryder didn't understand why he couldn't just go play with all of his new toys.

This is him opening up his present from Grandpa and Grandma Butterfield

Ryder LOVED his present from the Selmans. He loved that it came with balls to play with and it made lots of noise.

This is Ryder thinking he's so funny.

Yummy ice cream!!!

Ryder and Grandpa eating cake.

Why can't someone hold him. His life is so hard. I just love that crazy boy

Yummy Yummy baseball cake!!!

It's been so much fun to watch Ryder grow. I can't believe that he is already walking all around the house. He is growing up so fast. I love getting to know his little personality more and more all of the time. He loves to laugh and be with his Mom and Dad. He loves to dance to music now and its funny to watch him trying to dance.

Birthday Boy!!!

This is me a couple of weeks before I had Ryder. I loved being pregnant.

I loved feeling that little boy move inside of me.

This is my sweet little boy right after I had him. It was the best moment to hear him cry. He still as the sweetest little cry. It brakes my heart when he cries.

My BIG baby boy. He was 17 1/2 inches long and 6 pounds 1.3 ounces.

He has always been small but I will not complain. He doesn't grow out of his clothes as fast and he's easy to carry. Even though he's small, he's super fast and full of energy.

Our first family picture. Look how cute my boys are.

I love them so much and I don't know what I would do without them.

My boys taking a nap at the hospital. Mitch is such a sweet dad. I love watching him with Ryder. Ryder loves his Dad SO much. Ryder says Dada all of the time and I'll say "Say Mama", Ryder will then look at me and smile and say "Dada". He is already such a tease.

Here is a picture from Ryder's baby blessing. Ryder is wearing his Dad's shoes. That is definately the way Ryder is, he sleeps just like his Mommy.

Ryder and his Dad in Idaho working on the snowmobiles.

Snowmobiling was in his blood before he was born.

Ryder thinks it is so funny when he takes his shoes off.

And look at the face! We think it's pretty funny too.

Can't believe this boy is ONE! He is so big! We love him so much! He is so crazy and his personality is almost exactly the way we imagined, except a little crazier if that is possible. He loves to tease his Mommy and play ball with Dad.
