Ryker's 2nd Birthday Party

Two years ago today was my due date for Ryker.  I thought this would be a special day to reflect on how the last two years of my life has changed.  Its kinda fun to be pregnant on a past due date...and as I feel this little life growing inside me, I often think of how pregnancy was with Ryker.  Its fun how different my pregnancies are and its fun to think that my little baby boy is going to be a big brother!  To start off, I guess I'll post some of my favorite pics of Ryk's party.  We had a big turnout of course cause we have an awesome family!

The Invitation I made

Monster Truck Tat

Ryker wanting the Big Twucks on the cake

Birthday Boy

He was so excited to pull off the trucks and roll them around

This year he actually LIKED the cake!

Lots of fun presents!!

Color changing cars!

A REALLY BIG TRUCK!  He was so excited!

A ball

Some bowling pins and finger paints

Balloons are always fun at a birthday party and Lil G thought this balloon was the greatest!

We started around 1 and had a little concession stand that I didn't get a picture of.  We served nachos, hot dogs and some little smokies.  We enjoyed our time being with family and friends and Ryker was in Heaven with all the toys he got.  He was really fun to watch open presents this year cause he actually got into it.  Every tear or pull of the paper he had this little "wooo..." or "yayaya"  He was pretty spoiled and I'm obviously not showing all the pictures either but we had a great time!

Ryker enjoys playing cars with daddy, coloring, making messes, playing on mommy's phone and looking at pics, and helping mommy cook.  He is such a big helper and especially loves being wherever I am.  He is learning so much and can do the actions and sing along to popcorn popping, wheels on the bus, itsy bitsy spider, and head shoulders knees and toes.  He is super silly and loves to dance whenever he hears music.  He can throw quite the tantrum and has quite an arm when he is angry!  But he is my sweet little boy and I cherish every tantrum, every snuggle, and every slobbery kiss.  I love that little boy and I feel like I have been blessed beyond measure to be his mommy!

He has this new obsession to play on my phone and looking at pictures and taking pictures is one of his FAVORITE things to do...even though he gets really shy! This last week we have had a picture session cause he just loves it so much!

He gets SO shy and loves watching himself on my phone.

Our silly faces

One for everyday

Picture to daddy

As for the pregnancy and little Brinly, I definitely have the pregnant waddle going on!  She is super low and I don't dare sneeze!  She is great at making my sciatic nerve do its thing and my hips are no longer my friends.  I toss and turn all night cause I can't get comfortable and bending over is a little difficult. My skin is SUPER dry and I look like an alligator!  :) I still really enjoy being pregnant though because I love feeling her little movements.  I love being able to look forward to holding her and seeing Ryker and Trevor with her.  It is SO crazy to me that I am going to be a mamma of 2! How did I get so blessed? Honestly, I am pretty nervous to do the whole new baby thing again.  I can't wait to meet her, but there is still SO much to get done in the next couple of weeks!  I can't believe how fast the pregnancy has gone by! 34 weeks!! Woowoo!

(And shout out to Rit Dye! I had all these old yellow stained white colored tee's from downeast that were still in good condition...now are like new with a new fun color!  Super easy and So much fun to see the results.  I might be a little color happy cause I want to dye anything that is white! This shirt in my 34 week pic is one of the examples!)
