why can't i get into this!

so apparently i'm not very good at keeping a blog updated... could be because i have 3 small children... not sure... but thought i'd give a belated update nonetheless! ryer is 6 months old today and dreleigh will be 2 next month... needless to say we celebrated her birthday a month early and got ryer dedicated too as harvest time is busy around here! laiken is also in cubbies now at our church and we got our mops year kicked off this week too! bobby had a fantastic check-up at mayo in august and he and i also got to enjoy a twins game at the end of august! we went to ponca state park with my family again this summer... the pics are of all the events i've mentioned... i'm probably forgetting something but i will add it next time!

the whole clan...

aren't our feet the cutest! i love this pic...

the 3 kiddos... laiken 3 1/2 ... dreleigh almost 2 ... ryer 5 months ...

where is this summer going?

hello all... i can hardly believe we are almost half way through july! after this weekend bobby and i will both have gotten our sisters married off! i was looking at pictures and also can't believe i haven't put a picture of ryer up since we brought him home... he is almost 4 months old now! and quite a chunk! he loves being with his older brother and sister who are always making sure he's well taken care of! the kids were all in both of our sister's weddings as laiken was the official wagon puller and dreleigh followed along... we had so much fun helping our families celebrate the two joyous occasions... i finally added ryer's stats on the side too! hope it's not such a long time before i update this again! love to you all!

spring has arrived... and so has our little bundle of joy!

on march 16th at 1:34 am, we welcomed ryer steven into this world! he weighed 8 lbs 1 oz and was 20 1/2 in. long! he is such a joy and we are so happy that he's finally here! laiken and dreleigh are adjusting well and are such a proud big brother and sister! they love to hold and kiss him and help mommy bathe and change his diapers! we are also so excited that bobby is on his last chemo treatment! Praise the Lord! we are so thankful to be coming to the end of that journey and are eager to start on the next journey with our new little family! thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!
