Ryland turns 1!

Last Saturday was Ryland 1st birthday party. It was supposed to be at a park but the weather was nasty, so 3 hours before we decided to move it to our house. Luckily only a few people were coming. It turned out great:

what we've been up to....

time flies when your.... busy! School, work, raising 2 boys, takes lots of time.
Today was Ryland's 1st birthday party. I can't believe he's turning 1 tomorrow :( His party today was supposed to be at a park but the weather was horrible. 3 hours before the party we decided to move it to our house and went into cleaning crazy mode! Tons of pictures were taken and will be uploaded soon.
Connor: doing great, mostof the time. he's 3, what else can I say. The attitude is amazing. He is completely out of Pull-Ups, even at night. we are beyond happy about it. He got a new bike for keeping his underwear dry at night for one week. He's doing well on it. He's a little scared b/c he fell a few times but we're working on it.
Ryland: 1 tomorrow! Taking a few steps at a time, then realizes he can crawl faster. Sleeping is still an issue most nights. Breastfeeding is still goign well. I was having issues with my milk supply but got it under control. He has started to drink regular milk. Trying to get him to take breast milk from a sippy is a challenge.
Jeremy: working very hard as usual. This upcoming week is the buffalo auction so he's been super busy with that. He recently got a gun and is going to try to go hunting this season.
Me: I am making progress on my thesis. I got a laptop so I can get out of the house to work on it. Work is good, I cut my hours to 2 days a week till I get finished with school.

Well that's about it here. I'll try to get the pics uploaded soon!

A scary experience

Thursday night I did not sleep well. On top of Jeremy being gone, Ryland was up a lot and Connor woke up extra early. After I took the boys to daycare I came back home and went back to bed. I couldn't even keep my eyes open. I woke up at 10am freaking out that the boys were still asleep and I hadn't heard them up yet. I ran to Connor's room and he wasn't there. I tore his sheet off looking for him. I ran to Ryland's room and he wasn't there either. My heart was racing. I started screaming for Connor over and over. I looked at both the back door and garage door to make sure it was locked and no one had come in to get them. I ran back to my room and look for them, then back to the living room. The whole time I was screaming for Connor in a panic. I guess I didn't scream for Ryland b/c I knew he couldn't answer. I stood in the living room for a minute trying to figure everything out then realized what day it was and that I had taken them to daycare. I broke down crying. I guess I was asleep doing all this, but I remember it all. It was the most horrible feeling that I hope to never actually experience.

July 4th and Ryland's new funny face

We went over to one of Jeremy's co-workers house for a cook-out and fireworks. Last year Connor enjoyed the sparklers, this year he wanted nothing to do with them. He'd rather sit back and watch. He was a good sport even though we didn't get home until 11:45pm. Today he was a grump! :)






This is Ryland's latest face. He breathes funny also while doing this, makes for some good laughs.
