Rystons birthday!

Today Ryston is 3 years old! Where does the time go! He is such a fun little boy to have as part if our family!

A few facts about Ryston:

Fav color- geen (green)
Fav movie- The croods
Fav food- Pizza
Wears size 3t, some 4t clothes
Ryston loves chocolate milk. Ryston loves to be outside and he is definitely an animal lover. He always wants to have a blanket at bedtime or relaxing time, although he doesn't have a specific one (he alternates between 3 of them). He has been potty trained since about may i think but does have accidents on occation. (still wears diapers at night tho). He is such a good big brother to Kyzli and is such a good helper! He can definitley be a pain and pest but he is such a joy to have around!
 

Parker funnies

The other day while we are at the doctor for Kyzli's appt, Dr Beales is talking with the boys and Parker is teasing about how he kisses girls and on and on... Anyway Dr Beales says you don't want to kiss girls they have cooties; do you know sha cooties are? Parker reaches up and put both hands on his pecs and says: THESE! We about died laughing and of course McKendrick was just so embarrassed by his brother... Just had to share one of Parker's funnier moments. :)

Catch-up

Wow! It's been a while since I've posted. Been busy I guess. Anyway just to catch up on what has happened in our lives since I last posted.
#1 We had a baby girl! Who we named Kyzli
#2 Morant completed the police academy and got a job as a Law Enforcement Officer
#3 Alicia started her bachelor's degree for nursing.
#4 McKendrick finished 1st and 2nd grade, played football for the first time, lost a few teeth, played some more basketball, baseball, and wrestled.
#5 Parker started preschool, got some more stiches by getting hit by an icicle, wrestled, and learned how to ride a bike.
#6 Ryston got Potty Trained! And pestered his brothers and new baby sister alot! Made lots and lots of messes
#7 Kyzli was born! She came into our family on December 20, 2012. She is such a good baby and we couldn't be happier!

Just a little about us now. Morant works for Duchesne county as a patrol officer. He still is a volunteer fire fighter for the Town of Altamont, and he currently does not have a church calling.(really!?!) I work in the ICU at the hospital in Roosevelt as a Registered Nurse and am currently going to school to get my bachelors of science in nursing. McKendrick is in the 3rd grade and is very smart. He is a very self motivated boy who likes to get good grades! He just finished wresting and basketball and is waiting to start baseball and piano lessons. Parker is in preschool and loves it but mostly loves the social part and getting to play with all his friends. Ryston is a very active, wild 2 year old who loves to play outside and with almost any animal. Except cows ( he is scared of them ever since some in the field by Rio and Nate's house spit at him). He loves our new puppy our dog had and he was recently potty tained! YAY!!!!! Kyzli is just a sweet baby who is definitely spoiled! (It's hard not to since she's the only girl and she's our last) She is so fun to have around but she is just growing up too fast already! I just want her to stay small forever :) Anyway thats our last few years in a nutshell. I will try to post more often..... Here are a few pics from the last few years.

 

 

Baseball

McKendrick has been playing baseball the last couple of months and loves it. I know I am a bit partial but he is such a good little athlete, not just in baseball but in basketball too. I am so proud of him and his ambition to be a good ball player!

Happy #7 Birthday McKendrick

McKendrick turned 7 last week June 10. I can't believe how fast the last 7 years have gone by. He is such a smart boy and I cant imagine life without him. He is such a joy to have as part of our family, even though he is such a tease, especially to Parker. He is growing up to be a great young man and is learning how to be a good help around the house and with his younger brothers.
Apparently I am a bad mom because these are all the pictures I took of all the birthday bashes we had..Oops! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MCKENDRICK !

Ryston 1st Haircut

Ryston had his first haircut May 22, 2011

Before.....After...

6-7 months

Well this post is a little late, I have been slacking in the blogger department for a while. Ryston's 6 months stats were:
26 inches long (25%)
13lbs 13 oz (3%)
head circ: 42 1/2 cm (20%)
Ryston is such a good baby we couldnt ask for better, he is such a laid back baby and easy going. He is always wiggling or moving something. He is more or less crawling and has been for a couple weeks now, it is most like an army crawl, he pulls with his arms and pushes with his feet, it is so cute!
Now that Ryston is 7 months, he sleeps through the night from 8:30 or 9:00-5:00 or 5:30, he talks and makes noises to get your attention, and he eats every 3-4 hours.
