more house (Oct. 2014)

October seemed like a slower month with the first week having had SOOOO much happen.  Wells were being witched and basement plumbing was laid and we made a LOT of decisions this month.

House STARTS (sept 2014)

Mark does not leave for work very often, but of course he was gone for one week on Sept.  

Not only did he leave but he went to Canada and we don't have an international phone plan.  

He missed a HUGE week for our family - They started digging for our house and by the time he was back the basement was dug and poured.  

starting the layout of our driveway.

HERE WE GO!!!

Sept 2014 Misc.

A few videos from Sept.

Sept. was a great month.  School was in full swing and we broke ground on our house!!!!  

Jaren John got to go to a K-State game with Daddy thanks to Aunt Boz!!!
Mommy was Super jealous

Ryland Reece Got to move into his big boy car seat and loved it!!!

We got Ryland a seat for our bike for his birthday and he LOVES bike rides.
Not an easy task for us though.  Mommy had to get a new bike to so we could take family bike rides.
The first bike we got had a factory defect on the chains and we had to return it after a few failed attempts at family rides.
Mommy got another bike that after two rides is sitting in the garage with a flat that we don't know how to fix AHHHHH
I guess I should just take the hint and NEVER work out. :)

Had to get a picture on here of how Ryland ONLY likes his pacies to be upside down.  Even if you put it in right side up he will flip it around.

One day in Sept we were leaving the house and heading into wichita and Jaren says "mom, dad, why was that tree laying on our fence and the other house"
Jaren is generally speaking the truth when things like this come out of his mouth so we drove around the block to find this.  What you can't see if the top of it resting on the neighbors house.

Ryalnd's First Birthday Party

We had a GREAT party for Ryland for his first birthday.  Lots of our family came and helped us celebrate!!!

Ryland loves "me mouw"

  

 

Ryland Turns ONE!!!

On Sept. 3rd we took Ryland up tot Country Acres for some yummy ice cream to celebrate his Birthday!!!

BRAIN FREEZE

Don't do it Daddy I just took a big bite

Ryland's One year pictures

Ryland is such a BIG BOY now!!!  He will be 18 months old very shortly :(  

At his appointment we did receive some sad news.  Our pediatrician is retiring.  

We will get to have our 18 month appointment with him but then will have to change.  

I have been procrastinating as I don't want to change, but guess I should get on it.

Our big boy numbers were as follows:

Height: 31.5 inches 54%

Weight: 23.7 lbs 60%

Head: 18.9 inches 79%

We have done a walking picture for each of our kiddos at 1 year and a family one with it! 

I love these pictures!  Maybe because my face isn't in it???

BIG BOY
