Ryk's first Haircut!!!

Yes...you read it right! Ryker got a haircut! It makes him look SOOO grown up! It made me so sad at first because we cut off his long blonde locks, but now I love it! He is definately turning into a toddler! YIKES! It is so fun though because I can see how he is learning things and remembering them. He figured out the other day how to play peekaboo with his shirt. SOO funny! I looked over and his head was in his shirt! haha. And the GREATEST thing yet is that recently he just falls asleep on the floor if hes tired! He loves his blankie and I can hand it to him when he gets fussy and he just snuggles up with it and passes out! I love it! I am just so excited for the summer so we can go out and play in the grass or let him tryout a swing, or go swimming outside! I just seriously can't wait! So come on SPRING!!! 

Before. I know he looks thrilled! But this is "his seat" that he crawls up to watch VeggieTales. He sat here for almost an hour one day!

Getting Ready! He had no idea what was going on!

I had to give him my phone so he'd hold somewhat still. 

After! TaDa... doesn't he look like he can hardly wait to grow up? haha.

Ryk with his blankie...asleep on the floor. LOVE IT!

His shirt makes a great hiding spot!

Little man...his smile makes my heart melt! What a little stink!

And I made this!

Yeah, I had to throw this in there too. I made this handy little thing out of diaper boxes. You can find the Tutorial here. (you might have to scroll through half the page) A thrify crafter Nike (Neekah) was a guest at U-Create...one of my fav craft blogs.  Nike is amazing at being thrifty, which is a reason why I love her blog! But I must've done something wrong because I can't get this dang thing to stay on the wall. I am going to have to put my thinking cap on. I'll show you a pic (maybe) once it is ALL the way done!

Also I have a couple of other things that I want to throw out to you! One...I think it would be fun to start a craft night...once a month or something have a girls craft night. I know a couple of my friends do this already...but if anyone out there would like to be a part of it let me know! ALSO...my mom sells food storage for Thrive/Shelf Reliance. They just came out with FREEZE DRIED yogurt, ice cream and of course have had a lot of other freeze dried fruits and veggies. But Ryker LOVES the yogurt. It is a great snack for everyone. I have bought the stuff at WalMart, but the freeze dried food from Shelf Reliance is soooo much better! My mom, blessed soul, thought to bring some as a snack for Ryk on our day out...and it was SO yummy! Shelf Reliance has a TON of food varieties and options. You can check out her website HERE.

Anyway, I'd like to have a party to show you all some great stuff you can get to store away, or eat now! 25 years shelf life...which is AMAZING! So if you are interested shoot me an email! Don't be shy about it either. I know there are some of you readers out there that are anonymous blog stalkers...like me! But for real...I'd love to have you over to craft and eat with me! Even if we were sorta friends long ago! It'll be fun! And if you are out of state, but still are interested in some yummy snacks or fun crafts, shoot me an email anyway and we'll make it work!
