Ryder's Birthday

Ryder turned 3 on April 23.  We were unable to celebrate his birthday that day because for the 2nd year in a row, he was super sick on his birthday.  The good news was his party was not till this past weekend...and he was healthy and had a blast.  We had about 20 kids for pizza, cake and lots of bouncing and sliding.  Thank you Bounce U! 

You will notice in the pictures that Ricky may have had as much fun as Ryder.  Wonder if I can book the place again for Ricky's birthday??

Even Jake went sliding

April Update

We had a wonderful (and busy) April.  We had a visit from Jen's folks for the Spring game and then we have a weekend trip out to Colorado to visit Ricky's family.  It was Jake's first flight.  He was a great traveler.  It was also Ryder's 3rd birthday, but that will be in my next post.

This is from a pirate and princess party we went to.  I could not find a pirate costume for Jake, so he was Ryder's parrot.  They both looked adorable.

Construction on our street...the only good part has been the diggers parked by our house.  They have been a ton of fun for Ryder

Visiting Colorado...

Ryder loves doctors, he is going to be a football player and a doctor too (according to him).   Nini (deb) took us to her hospital and let Ryder wear some gloves and a mask, he loved it.

Rahne boys and their great grandparents

Jake and Lillienne...they are 1 month apart.  Deb has a picture of Lillienne's mom (Melissa) and Ricky at about this same age.  They are cousins and also one month apart.

Sweet Sweet Kahla

A couple weeks ago, we lost our loving dog, Kahla. She has been with us since June of 2007. She was 16 years old (we think). She was a fantastic, beautiful and loyal dog. She was greatly loved and will be forever missed.

More Easter Pixs

Ryder with his Bump Bunny...this bunny was the color of our golden retriever, Bump.
By the way, this is at an Easter Egg Hunt at my friends house. She had a live petting zoo there as well. Now that is a good Easter party.

I could not get a good picture of him with this bunny, but he loved it and held it for quite a while.

This is Ryder getting ready for the Easter Egg Hunt at church


We know 100 people t our church and sadly they were all already on their way home or busy opening eggs with their kids, so we never found anyone to take our picture together...so here is...

Daddy and his little men.

Mommy and her boys
