Thanksgiving Trip 2015 {part 4}


While we were down in Florida we decided to hit the outdoor mall with Aunt Theresa. This was fun. For the first time EVER I got to go inside a POTTERY BARN!

I was literally in HEAVEN. I love Pottery Barn! I picked out my bedding and all sorts of stuff before we were even moved into our new home. I could have lived in that store for a week!

We took some pics around the Christmas Tree they had there too before hitting up a spot for lunch. This was a little more difficult than I thought :) Ryker just did not want to take a pic for mommy.







when you drive off with your Starbucks on the bumper and it doesn't budge....that's what you call  a good cup of joe!


Later that evening my sister invited me to have drinks with a few of her friends. It was nice getting a mommy date without the kids. Wiregrass is really pretty at night especially with the Christmas Tree!





It was such a pretty day and a nice evening out.

Thanksgiving Trip 2015 {part 3}


So, before we left to go to Florida, my dad calls me asking me a bunch of questions. My mom {Florida mom} talked about my feet hurting...make sure you wear tennis shoes... At the time I had no idea what this "surprise was". It was definitely a surprise and of course my 13 year old {always trying to know and not letting things truly be a surprise} tried for an entire day and evening to figure it out. Well, he was right. Disney World it was.

What a fabulous day and a great surprise for all the kids. 

DISNEY WORLD!!!






Aunt Theresa made us matching t-shirts for our trip. LOVE them!

On the Ferry

 I love that all 4 kiddos were able to see Disney together this time :) I'm sure we will end up taking another trip when Ryker, too, can actually remember.

RYKER WAYNE
 
 

age: 1.5

weight: 22.8 lbs

Height: 29.5 in
 
Wears 12 & 12-18 months clothes
 
 
 



Daily Activities include:
 
 roaming the house and getting into everything! He loves to pick things up and throw them in the trash. 

Things we have found in the trash:

shoes, plates, spoons, sippy cups, shoes...

He obviously doesn't understand what the trash can is for yet.
 
He loves dumping things out. If he wants a small bowl of cheerios they all end up on the floor. Then he will pick them up and put them back in the bowl. Sometimes, throwing the bowl in the trash.
 
He is our outdoor kid. If it is not raining he is normally outside. He literally craves being outside. He adores riding on the lawnmower with Kale. He screams with excitement when he hears the lawn mower start up.
 
He is a daddy's boy all the way. For the first time I have lost one kid! He would rather be with dad than mom. Even when he is sick, unhappy or tired. He would rather be with dad. He screams when he sees Kales truck coming. He screams and runs all the way down our porch toward him every single day when he comes home from work. It's adorable.
 
He loves my swiffer. I mean loves the darn thing. Even though he drains the cleaner... sometimes I let him go to town {taking the cleaner out}. He also really loves our stick vac. I mean loves it! He's into anything that makes noise!
 
 
 
He loves the play place at the mall. When he is restless we head to the mall and play. Not only does he get some freedom, I get some freedom and then he takes a nice nap for mamma.  


 
He loves bath time. I mean LOVES bath time.
 
Favorite Foods:
 
 
 sweet potato
cheerios
bananas
strawberry yogurt
cottage cheese
lime chobani yogurt
pancakes
veggie straws
gerber arrowroot cookies
chicken
pulled pork
 
 

 


It ALL ends up on the floor when he is done. 3-5 times a day! It's a good thing my little guy like to swiffer and baths!



THIS HAIR
 
 Ryker has a rat tail. The rest of his hair is pretty boyish and cute/short. But then there is this tail on the backside of his head. I personally love it but I know we can't keep it. We are getting 2016 Family Portraits done next month and I've decided to cherish this cute little tail until then. Kale says I have to cut it off. So, I will cut it then!
 
 
 
SHOPPING with a TODDLER:
 
 I don't even need words for this one.



 
Watch Me Grow
 
It's insane how fast our littlest guy is growing. I'm a little sad as he leaves the baby stage and enters the toddler stage. It's a good thing we went for permanent birth control because this is about where I start getting the baby blues! Kale even had the baby blues a few days ago. WE know it won't happen. I think our families will be glad to hear we actually CAN'T have anymore lol. But, the thought was there this past week. It was a cute moment between Kale and I. But, it ended quickly when we realized duh...not going to happen. So, as I insert these images to the post it takes me back. Our last little one. Goodness do I already miss his cute little bitty body. Happy 1.5 Ryker Wayne!
