Happy Birthday Tiff and Jar...

Happy 29th to Jared yesterday and 21st to Tiff on Monday!!! I can't wait for Jared's birthday next year...it's going to be a PARTY! One thing I do have to remember is he can always get me worse. We didn't do much of anything. He got a new gun and is going to pick out a new scope since I didn't dare. I took him to the Roadhouse for dinner, then we came home and chilled; quite eventful, I know. It seems birthdays were more exciting when you are younger. You get to be the "special" person at school, bring birthday treats, don't have any chores, pretty much just do whatever you want. As you get older you still have the responsibility of your dailiy duties, unless you take a break from it all, which you wouldn't find Jared doing. He is always going.

As for Tiff, I'm sure she headed to the slots in Vegas that night...lol She and her hubby came up this past weekend so we did a little celebrating then. The girls had a fun filled weekend of going Christmas/Birthday shopping while the guys watched the big game. Also, my sister-in-law was out of town so Jared and my mom helped my brother get his baby room ready as a surprise when she got back!!! The room turned out so cute; I will post some pics of it when I get some.

Here are some pics from our weekend adventures...

Tiffany "ridin" the pony. She sure was a good sport!!!

Can't wait to see you all this weekend in Delta for Thanksgiving!

Blog Incompetence

So...as you can see my pics and verbiage are having issues and I'm too tired to keep messing with them, so if anyone has suggestions as to how to make it turn out right, let me know. It worked right at the beginning of my blogging days and I swear I'm doing the same thing, but apparently not.

Too Big, Too Fast!!!

Ryah seems to be making milestones the last week. (At least I think they're milestones) It'sas though she's having a "zest" for life. She's started rolling all over the place, sitting up with little assistance, putting her binki in her mouth, playing with her feet, taking decent naps in her bed, laughing, etc. I can't believe she's almost five months...time has flown by.

Jared and I have been enjoying every moment of her getting bigger. We're also excited we made a new discovery; my sister Tay is perfectly capable of babysitting, so we've started taking advantage of that...thanks Tay!!! Hopefully, her compensation is worth it. It's nice because Taylor can come to our house and Ry can still go to bed at her bedtime, that way Jared and I aren't rushing to pick her up from the babysitter so she'll be in bed on time. Ryah is starting to really know Tay and it's so cute.

Jared and I haven't been up to much besides hanging out. He sold his "dream" truck he just bought, which acctually surprised me. His employees always tease him that anything he owns is always for sale; it's partially true. If anyone offers him the right price for anything, it's SOLD!!! I knew he was getting an itch to sell it because he put a 6" lift on and then saw our neighbor who only put a 4" and decided he hated his 6" and wanted different rims...I figured it was only a matter of time, but not this soon. So I guess we'll be truck hunting, again.

Here are some fun pics of Ry from the last two weeks...

Ry and her infamous finger she chews on.

Our happy princess.

Gotta love those eyes...

Ry helping mom on the computer. I think the screen mesmerizes her.

Ry had a lethargic day while playing at grandma's...

Our "Lil Stinker"

This year Ryah was a skunk aka our "lil' stinker" for Halloween. She looked so cute!!! I can't wait until she understands what's going on and enjoys the trick-or-treating; definitely fun times to come. Jared and I are boring and didn't dress-up this year...maybe next year!!! Here are some pictures.

I had to also post some pictures of my dad...he is such a trooper to dress-up in what my mom gives him.
