Christmas, and more Christmas...

Ryder got his first cowboy hat, Wranglers, and a cowboy shirt

Ryder and Cousin Brodie are pretty good buds....

And here is Ryder and dad for his first horse ride on the "Christmas Pony, named Molly" that Grandpa Wayne bought the grandkids.

What a Christmas....

Ryder had fun with the bows!

He also got a "Rockin Rider" pony to practice riding in the house....

We had a kid night at our house Wednesday night to watch The Grinch...

Ryder checking out all the fun stuff Santa and Mom & Dad got him...

Go Broncos!

The Blackfoot Broncos won the high school state championship, they are state champs for the second time in three years! Brodie is on the team as a junior - we snapped these photos of him before he turned his jersey back in.

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures...

Bath time is his favorite.

And yes, we think he is teething, so he chews and slobbers on anything he can get his little, fat hands on.

This is Shantelle at her school Christmas program. It was really fun and she looked beautiful!

A little snooze with Ryder before bed never hurt anybody.

What a handsome dude!

4 month pictures

Wow, crazy hair...

This one he looks a little startled, I didn't care, I ordered it anyways!

Merry Christmas, what a cute card!

We had Ryder's pictures taken last Monday in Idaho Falls. I took him on Sunday while Wade was helping my parents bring their cows home, but Ryder would not cooperate. He screamed and fussed for just over an hour, I thought they were going to throw us out! So Wade and I took him back Monday to try again and he did behave a lot better, but he would not crack a smile - what a turd! Even though his pics are super serious, they still turned out cute.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Ryder got to tell Santa what he wanted while we were at the mall today. I couldn't refuse his first photo with Santa!

Things are good!

Well, Ryder will be 4 months old tomorrow, wow that is hard to believe. He went to the pediatrician last Monday and he weighed 13 lbs, 13 oz and 23" long. He has gained 2 1/2 lbs in 6 weeks! He has darned near doubled in size since he was born. He is trying to roll over and likes to sit up, but it will be a while until he can sit on his own, but it won't be long till he rolls over. He has had his first cold, which has been pretty crappy. I feel so bad for him when he is so congested and feeling yucky, but he is slowly getting better. We just got all our Christmas shopping done this morning, well except for a couple things for Ryder. I am so excited for Christmas, it is my favorite holiday. We adopted two boys off the Secret Santa Broadcast, so we bought them their stuff today, just got it wrapped and Wade is dropping it off tomorrow. It has been super cold here the last two days with terrible wind, but 'tis the season!
