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!
