So much to catch up on!

Well just to try to catch up! We had an awesome summer, Ryker got to go fishing for his first time and had soo much fun! We got to go camping a few times, and I dont recommend it when you are gigantic pregnant! He has also started preschool and loves it. He loves learning new things and having new friends. He absolutely amazes me with how fast he can learn, even the things I wish he wouldnt. :)

We have also had our new baby! His name is Kohen Mel Church and was 7 lbs 4 oz and was 19.5 inches. He was born Sept 14 and is doing great! Ryker loves being a big brother and he has put himself in charge of throwing away all the dirty diapers. He loves to help out and has really impressed us with how grown up he seems to be. He hasn't been jealous at all and just seems to love his new brother!

Ryker's Birthday!

Well Its offical Ryker is now 3! We had his birthday over memorial weekend. It turned out PERFECT! He had so much fun with all his friends and loved playing on the water slide! He of course got so spoiled and finally got his Dinaco Mcqueen! (thanks Nat) He hasnt put it down since and takes it everywhere. He decided to have a Bolt birthday and of course because I am a crazy person decided to make him an giant cake and couldnt just do something simple! But he absolutely LOVED it. I would do it again just to see the amazed look on his face that it was Bolt cake just for him! Thanks to everyone for coming! We love you all! Oh and did I mention his dad built him a tree house for his present! He turned out amazing. He even has his own flowers in the windows!

OREGON 2009

Wow its been so long since I updated this! Well we went to Oregon to visit my grandparents the first part of May. It was FREEZING! We attempted the beach and froze, I think next time we will wait til summer! Ryker still had a ton of fun. He is a pro at riding in an airplane now and he loved playing in the sand and staying in hotels! Here is a few pics from the trip.

~Easter~

Ryker had so much fun coloring eggs! After coloring them we had to cover them in super hero stickers! He had so much fun on easter! He was so excited to get an easter basket full of candy and toys, thanks grandmas! He also loved looking for easter eggs in the backyard! Happy easter!

A quick update!

Ok so it's been a few months! Well most of you already know but we are expecting baby #2! Ryker says its going to be a sister so we are hoping for a girl! Ryker is getting to be such a little boy and not so much a baby anymore. (tear!) He is all about sports, wrestling, and super hero's. He always tells me ''mom not you only me and daddy! Your a girl!" I am not sure where he gets it, ok so it's probably Zane. But he is so serious. Zane decided to build him a tree house for his birthday and even tho we haven't even got the stuff to build it he already told me I am not allowed to help build it or to come in it! I have to stay in the house! lol He really makes me laugh so much. As far as for Zane and I we are doing great! Zane is still working, so far so good. I am still trying to get through this semester of school and am just waiting "patiently" for my applications for pharmacy school. It has been so hard to get going this semester. I have felt kinda crappy for the last 6 weeks so I haven't wanted to do much! I am just glad summer is finally coming. The puppy is getting huge, Koda always wants to eat him still but they are getting better! We hope all is well for all of you and I will try to keep this updated!!

Our new Pup!

This is our new addition! His name is Titan. We got him the first part of January. He is Steel's brother, they really have the same parents. He has been so much work this far. I guess we lucked out when we got steel in the spring. Hopefully he catches on soon!

Just to catch up!

It has been a while so here is whats been going on in the Church house. We made it through xmas. Ryker had so much fun. He asked Santa for a Mickey Mouse club house and he got it. He was so excited. He left out cookies for santa and carrots for the reindeer.

The day after xmas we flew to Denver for Gloria's 50th bday~! It was the first airplane ride that we took Ryker on he was old enough to remember. The flight there he got scared when we landed and he said he wasnt gonna go home. We had a ton a fun with the family. We wish we got to see them more.

Disney On Ice

Disney on Ice was lots of fun! Ryker couldn't believe Mickey was in REAL LIFE! He was so excited when he came out. He loved the show so much.

It was a really cool show. It had all of the princess stories and then Incredibles,Nemo,Toy story, and a whole bunch of other ones. It was amazing to watch Ryker get so excited and be so amazed that all of his favorite shows where right there. He had the biggest eyes all night!

Him and his Grandmas! They ALWAYS spoil him! He got a Mr Incredible light thing that was more expensive then the actual tickets! He is one lucky boy! He loves them both!

Our ONE snow storm! Ryker loves the snow soo much. He was so excited the one morning it had snowed. He wouldn't come in. He was excited to wear his snow coat and gloves. He is doing so well.

Trick Or Treat!

We went trick or treating with Kiana! He got so much candy! They had fun running from house to house. Poor Kiana couldn't ditch her other half. Ryker kept yelling "wait for hulk!" and would always want to keep holding her hand. Thanks Kiana for being a good sport! Happy Halloween!

Halloween Time!

Halloween is here! We took Ryker to pick out his own pumpkin! He loved being able to run around and pick up all the pumpkins and when we would try to help he would say "No, I do it. I strong!" He kept cracking me up! He also thought it was cool to ride in the wheel barrow! Our next adventure was Boo at the Zoo! Last year was super fun, this year I think half of Utah was there! And for those of you who know me, know that I cant stand being in a huge crowd! He had fun so I guess it was worth it! Our next thing is "Trick or Treating" friday!

Florida

Zane and I just got back from Florida. It was absolutely AMAZING! We went to Bush gardens and got to feed giraffes, ride crazy roller coasters and drank our share of beer! Lol We also went to Seaworld. Shamu's show Believe was awsome! I highly recommend it! It was rounded out by a Tampa Bay Buccs game! It was so fun and we had the best time. Zane FINALLY got to see his team play and I was happy to be able to go with him! The only thing that could have made this trip better was taking Ryker with us! Unfortunately he was just fine without us. He did ask everyday where his present was. Kids learn way to fast!

STEEL

Steel was the most recent member to our family! He turned one on May 9th and was hit by a car in Tooele on March 18th. We had to finally say good bye to our best friend on Aug 28th. He had shattered his femer into 9 pieces and went through a tough surgery and months of recovery. He wasn't healing properly and some how, probly wrestling with koda, he rebroke his leg and was not fixable! He will be missed by all of us and I know some of you are thinking "he is just a dog" but he was more than that. He would always follow Ryker around and wouldn't let anyone to close to him unless he knew what you were doing. He loved to play with Ryker! He was attached to Zane's hip and would always be right under your feet! He loved to go in Zane's truck! Right after his surgery we went to pick him up at the hospistal and when we finally got him out side he saw Zane's truck and tried to run to get in! He was my big cuddly dodo! Really he sometimes didnt seem so smart! He loved to have is tummy rubbed! He was always needing attention! He loved to play with Koda! They would always be wrestling! Even after his accident he was always so happy and we didn't get to keep him around as long as we would have liked but he was able to hold on for 6 more months! I would say the hardest part off all of this was trying to explain to Ryker what happend. He still asks "where Stee?" Or "Stee come home?" He diffinatley will be missed!

Ryker has loved playing in the sun this summer! He loves swimming in his pool, jumping, splashing and of course showing off for anyone who will pay attention to him! He will be so sad when it starts getting colder!

Our Family

Just to get you all up to date! Our little Ryker just turned 2 in May and is getting so big so fast. He is the funnest thing ever and is so much like his dad it's scary! He loves to swim, play in the dirt and loves sports! He is talking up a storm and the things he comes up with is amazing! Zane just started his own general construction company this year and even thou it has been super stressful it has been the best thing for us! I am so proud of both my boys! I am still trucking away with school! I hope to be starting Pharmacy School next fall! I just hope to get accepted. Besides that our lives seem to be the same! No big surprises! We are going to Tampa in Sept to see a Buccaneers game! Zane is super excited! We have two dogs now! We have Koda, a husky, and Steel is a german shepherd! They fill in the other kids spots! Steel was hit by a car in March and he has pulled through! His leg is till a little messed up but we are hoping all goes well so he doesn't loose his leg! I think that sums it all up! I will try to keep this updated, but lets be honest I am always SUPER busy and should be doing homework or something! :)

We just took Ryker to the Living Planet Aquarium with his best buddie, Kannon! He loved all the fishes. Escpecially Nemo!
