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.

Perkins Family Reunion

Ryder and Uncle Jared hanging out at the falls

Here is out cute little family. Ryder loved the falls and Grandma didn't like it.

We had lots of fun at the family reunion this year. Ryder loved hanging out with some of his cousins. He even took his first step on the table of the Perkins restaurant. I can't believe how big he is getting.

Doing the dishes

Ryder is such a good helper with the dishes!!

I just don't know how I would do them without him

Catch

I think that Ryder is going to be a baseball player. He loves Playing with his baseball. It was SO much fun watching my boys playing catch. I know that Mitch really loved it.

Sleepy boy and First Haircut

This is how we found Ryder sleeping the other night. He's so crazy. He likes to sleep with his legs crossed. As you can tell he likes having his football in his bed. You never know when you need to play.

I couldn't get him to sit still after his haircut. He is SO handsome. His hair is very blond with it all cut off, it doesn't even look like he has hair.

Ryder didn't know what his Dada was doing to his head. He was SO confused.

Bath Time!!!

Ryder is become such a funny boy. I already know that he's going to tease me SO much. He's standing up on everything. We had to move his bed down already because he fell/climbed out of his crib.

We just love him so much!!!

Great Grandpa and Grandma Idaho. We were so excited that they came up to take some pictures with us. It was lots of fun having them up there.

Here we are with Great Grandpa and Grandma Idaho

4 Generations of snowmobilers. We are so excited to cary on the tradition of snowmobiling. Ryder loved his little ride. He fell asleep on out way out but when he woke up on our way back he was not a happy camper. Poor boy didn't know what was going on.

My two boys are so cute!! This is my favorite picture.

Pa better watch out for this little guy. He already has his eye on his truck. Ryder could have spent all day pretending to drive the truck. It's so funny how he's such a boy and just like his Dad. Ryder's favorite toys are balls. We have a baseball and a golf ball and a football and he could play with them ALL day. He's such a crazy boy!!

Here's me and Ryder hanging out in the back of the truck.

No this is not a pregnant man. If you look close Ryder is all zipped up in Mitch's coat ready to go on a ride.

I put Ryder down on the snow and he was so sad because it was hard for him to crawl and play without his hands getting too cold.

Ryder was so good on the drive up and back. He slept most of the way up to Idaho but he slept the whole way home from Idaho. He's such a good boy.
