Almost Crawling

Fathers Day

For Fathers Day we didn't do anything to special. Beau was feeling a little better from his surgery, and needed to get out of the house sense he'd been laying in bed sense Wednesday. SO, we decided to go up North Mountain with my family and deep fry a Turkey and hang out! We had fun, when we finally got there, the road was HORRIBLE and BUMPY but it was worth the trip! Beau couldn't really do anything but sit in a lawn chair by the fire, and Kyler got passed around to everyone...like he always does! He loves it when we go to big get togethers, he gets alot of attention! After we ate the yummy turkey, salads, and fruit Beau and I decided we better get heading back home, he wasn't feeling to good! The trip home we went through Wayne, the roads were a lot better, and we even seen a pretty cool eagle that Beau had to get out and take a picture of.

Oh, and guess what? Kyler is starting to use sippy cups!! He hasn't quite decided what to do with them, he sucks on them and tips them upside down, but only for like a few minutes then he drops it on the ground and is done with it! But it has been so fun , I can't believe how big he is getting!!

Beau can't pick Kyler up for another week, and it makes both Kyler, and Beau quite sad. On Sunday morning I put Kyler in bed with Beau while I got ready to go, well Kyler scooted his little self over to Beau and just loved on him, it was so cute!!

Oh What A Mess....

Kyler has gotten to a point where he HATES HATES HATES baby food...! Any kind of baby food...! He used to love it. So to feed him anything other than cheerio's and a bottle you have to make funny noises, pull funny faces..ect..ect...and then when we finally get the spoon in his mouth, half the time he SPITS it out. And I don't mean just lets it drool down his face he makes a funny noise I wish I could explain and then food goes EVERYWHERE! and you should see the faces he pulls...I wish I had a million hands while I was feeding him so i could take pictures of it! You know when you eat something sour and your lips kind of pucker and your eyes close and all that fun stuff...well thats exactly what Kyler does.

For our wedding Beau's sister Shayla gave him a "50 gallon fish tank". You plug it into the wall and it sounds like your at the ocean...and fish swim across the tank. Kyler LOVES LOVES LOVES it! He watches it for hours, and tries to grab the fish, he'll grab at the tank then look at his hands, it's so dang cute! Plus, it's a total life saver, plug it in anywhere, lay him on the floor, and he's happy!

Another BORING weekend

Once, again, our weekend was uneventful...for the most part. Friday night after we got off work we rode over to the Cranney's and went and shot a blow up target. We drove up 'The infamouse hill' in the rhino till we couldn't drive anymore. It was fun...Beau shot once and missed, then Gabe shot and missed, then Jaydee shot...and he didn't miss. It blew a hole in the rock and threw pieces of rock and plastic everywhere! I tried to get a picture of it...but I was to slow! Kyler didn't think to much of it. We tried to cover his ears from the guns and the boom...but he was sleeping and didn't budge. When we got back to their house Dan had a red cup and Kyler was just looking at it and screaming...so we got him his own red cup like uncle Dan's...He loved it! He also discovered Lana's carpet...He wasn't quite sure how to take it. He'd try to pull it out, then look at his hounds and pull funny faces like 'what is this stuff?'

Once again, I went with Beau to work Saturday morning and Lana baby sat Kyler. This time he had to do the Delta/Fillmore route (sorry Val). It was fun...I guess. After we got done we went and helped Dan and Lana put up the walls (I think thats what you'd call it) of their boat house in the back yard. Beau said it was frusturating...there were way to many bosses and people who thought they knew what they were doing! Kyler hung out in his little bumbo chair for while till he tried EATING gravel so we moved him to his stroller and he just talked and chatted away to any one who walked by. One of the guys that was helping had his little 5 year old daughter over there, she was so cute with him. She was singing to him and all sorts of other things!!

Saturday night we drove to Wayne county to my cousin's Casi's wedding. She looked SO pretty! I can't believe she's married. Jake is such a good kid...we really like him. It was so good to see everyone, especially Ryan, Dez, and the girls. We haven't seen them sense the wedding, and Livie is getting SO big! Kyler, like usual, was passed around from one person to the next. He doesn't mind if he can see either Beau, me, or Grandma and Grandpa Rippstein. If he was moved out of our line of sight he didn't think that was very fun!

Monday night...more BASEBALL! The boys played such a good game and ended up winning the only team in the league they hadn't one! It was a late game though, it's the tournament so the game started at 8, and they have to play 6 full innings. Kyler was pretty good, he just sat on Grandma's lap and didn't even move. Last night we also had baseball...it was Beau's last game helping. He's all sorts of sad. But he's got guard this weekend. They lost last night, but played a really good game!! Kyler...didn't want to be there. It was pretty cold outside so we had him all bundled up in his little hat and coat. Grandma had to walk with him so he wouldn't cry. About ten he finally calmed down and we layed him on the blanket and wrapped him up and he played with Wyatt for quite some time.

Kyler's ALMOST crawling. He gets himself up on all fours and rocks back and forth. He can't quite decide what to do next. Beau was teasing him with toys the other day and Ky got SO SO mad that he started SWAYING and fell over...oh yes, while he was SCREAMING and his dad was trying not to laugh. He say's he just looks "so cute when he cries". His dad was also trying to teach him how to play baseball with his little farm animals. He set them all up in the right places then say "okay ky if pig hits it to lamb who does lamb throw the ball to". He loves him, but he just wants him to grow up...RIGHT NOW!! It was pretty cute tho. Kyler was only interested in stealing the toys from his dad and giggling!!

Baseball, Baseball, and MORE Baseball

The boy's had a fun trip up north on Tuesday. They went to Cabela's and the ortho. Beau got home and was all excited cuz he had 'taken pictures' so I pop the camera out...and the pictures are of sheep..and ducks...and horses...and anything else you can imagine that they saw on the way home...just not kyler...! They went and visited our good friends Jadeth, Whitney, and their baby girl Jade. Beau said Kyler was just trying to flirt Jade and smiling and chatting with her. I'm afraid he might be quite the ladies man like his dad. I sure hope not.

Well, as you all can tell we've been to a lot of baseball games. Ryder played Tuesday and Wednesday night and we try and make it to most of his games. Beau Loves to help coach and it's a lot of fun to watch T and Ryd play. Ryder has a broken toe and can't wear his cleats so he had to wear Karson's shoes. But he did really good anyways. On Wednesday Ryder pitched, and hit 3 doubles (which is pretty good for a crippled). On Tuesday he had a runner, but Wednesday I guess he thought he was too cool and ran the bases.

Kyler LOVES to be outside and LOVES attention, so he loves the baseball games. The Jensen kids fight over him and have to take turns playing with him. Beau can't wait for him to be able to play. After the game he came over and got him and took him back over to their little huddle. On the way back to the car he was telling Kyler how he needs to be quite because he could have missed something important. He's such a silly dad!

...: The Weekend :...

Well, the weekend flew by and it's already Wednesday...WOW! We haven't done much sense I blogged last, and I won't lie...i haven't taken any pics. Beau says I don't have to take pictures of everything!! We had a good weekend tho. We hung out at my parents, had a BBQ with the Neilsens, The Cranney's, Grandma Mad, and Brenda. Went for a late Ranger ride, and had a little too much fun! Kyler got to hang out at Grandma and Grandpa Ripp's house on Saturday while I helped Beau at work. I think he loves it there, he never lacks for attention. Beau was up bright and early Saturday morning helping the Cranney's pour cement. Later after he got off we had a big BBQ with lots of yummy food. Kyler is starting to recognize people. If someone other than Beau, Lana, or I would pick him up he would start bawling. He was fine if they were talking to him...they just couldn't touch him. I guess that could be a good thing, in a way?


Monday when Beau got off we were all sitting on the floor...Beau was on the oppisite end of the room as Ky and I...well I guess Ky likes his dad more than me now. He rolled and scooted clear across the room till he got to his dad! He chatted and squealed the hole way there to. It was cute though. Beau is such a good dad. He say's he doesn't spoil him...but he really does.


Oh so get this, Kyler's hair is finally long enough to put in a Fohawk! It's so fun and he looks so dang cute.


Yesterday we went to my parents and helped my dad build fence. Kyler stayed with Grandma Meriann and Uncle Karson. He used to HATE Karson...he couldn't even walk into the same room as Kyler or Ky would start bawling. But he played with him for quite a while yesterday! Kars, Ryder, and Gabe are so good with him! And he loves all three of them.


Today Beau took Kyler and Ryder up to Murray. Beau's got an ortho appt. up there. He was excited to take Ky with him. "They're going to do man things today, like go look at guns and the fish at Cabela's!" He's so dang cute!! Anways... Tah Tah till next time...and I promise next time I'll have newer pics!
