Ride em Cowboy!

Ryker will probably never be much of a cowboy, but he sure looks good in the hat. Hopefully he'll at least get to take in a couple brandings with his Uncle Ty and maybe eventually a bucking horse sale or two.

A Visit from Dad!

Seth was home for a week so he and Ryker had plenty of fun catching up and doing all the great things that I cannot do "all day long" like playing airplane and tossing Ryker into pillows over and over again. Ryker loves being thrown around and laughs and laughs.

They got a little work done too :)

Lookin' good in his shorts

Ryker and his cousin Asa....this could be the making of a great band!

Ryker is almost ready to crawl. He moves every other way possible, he just isn't quite using the knees yet.

Seth was a little surprised at Ryker's new eating technique. He's always been a little squirmy, but over the last month, he has gotten completely out of hand. He's a hard little man to hang on to.

He loves to stand but his legs always end up in the splits.

"Wake up Dad! I don't know how it is on the boat, but around here we don't sleep in!"

7 month pictures

I kept seeing all my friends pictures of their babies and it dawned on me that maybe we should have some taken of Ryker. He hammed it up as usual and we got a few good ones.

Oh the laundry basket....so much fun

Keep blowing, no matter how red your face gets

Never put your arms down

Higher, arms higher!
