RETRO Ruthie

BAM...boy do I look good!:) If you remember, a little while back I posted a RETRO pic of Steve...well this is the pic he made me post to make it even:) It's on Christmas morning... All I have to say is "Mom really?! My hair is as close to a mullet as you can get:)!"

I have been cleaning/organizing and I found these...I can't always be as stunning as the pic above:)!

Don't worry...I didn't actually get to carve the pumpkin with the big knive. It was only a prop for the picture!

Post a RETRO pic of you and your husband! PLEASE....I want to see them!!

BABY MAMA Time

I decided I should record the fact I am a big part of Broden's life too:)

 I took Broden to a high school volleyball game... he didn't watch it much because all the girls were fighting over who got to hold him next:)

 Game day orange

He loves to sit and watch me while I cook dinner

He loves his mobile and the music. Anytime I put him under it, he smiles big and starts kicking his legs a ton showing how excited he is!

BABY DADDY time

Steve can get Broden laughing out loud SOO hard...it is  TOO cute!! Stevo loves playing with his little boy!

Broden OvErLoAd

This sweet little boy is my whole world! He is so FUN! He went in for his 4 month wellness visit a little while ago. He was 16.5 lbs!!! He is 85% in weight and 50% in height. He hit all of his milestones for a 4 month old so he is officially caught up! Didn't take him too long:) He has the cutest double chin.  He has BIG smiles and loves to talk and laugh! He has been sleeping from 8pm to 7am (yay! all night) for over a month now. 

Firefighter in Training

Still my cuddly binky baby:)

I promise I cut his nails, although it doesn't look like it.

He gave himself a pretty good cut:)

All SMILES and LAUGHS!

This weekend we went to my friend Andy's wedding. His family lived nextdoor to me all growig up and he was my good friend in college. Here is Stevo driving me and Broden around:)

 

 Broden's 1st official church outfit

He always loves to look at the lights:)

 He sits up good in his bumbo now!

WE LOVE our SWEET little BOY!!!!!!

Water FUN

Last week we had a lot of fun playing in the water!!

We went to the Gorge...

And we went to Bear Lake!

Can you tell we are ALL out having fun?!

Lots of tube rides!!

LOTS of fun playing on the wave runners

Steve giving all the kids a "wild" ride as they called it:)

He would knock them off and they swam hard to get back on for more!

This sweet litle man slept most of the time giving he parents lots of time to play!! He slept on the car ride home and all night in his crib too...what a sleepy boy:)

BIG thanks to Brook and Jen for the all the fun!

This picture is random, but one day while I was getting ready I rigged this so Broden could sit up and keep me company while I did my hair. He isn't quite able to support his own head... It looked funny, but totally worked!!

Out and About

We got to visit my sister...  we decided to take a day trip and go white water rafting on the Shoshoni River in Cody, WY! It was SOOO fun! The water was high and on one of the rapids we caught serious AIR and Steve bounced out of the raft.  The first thing the guide yelled was “don’t lose the oars”. Sure, what about not losing my husband!! LOL…We had to rescue him and he got scraped up:). It was a FUN  ride!!

 Meeting Great G'ma for the first time! Look at that SMILE!!!

4 Generation picture:)

We also stayed with my parents for a couple days...Broden showing off his tricks!

We went camping with Steve's family in the Big Horn Mountains out of Greybull, WY . We had to buy a bigger tent to fit all the equipment our new child brings with him:) It felt like a  castle and had tons of room!

Broden Bug all bundled to sleep in the tent. It got in the higher 30's to lower 40's at night, but he did great. Somehow we kept him toasty and his nose and cheeks even stayed warm when I put his carseat cover over him!

Sitting in his bumbo... he is almost able to sit in it on his own. I still have to roll a towel and put it behind his neck for support, but he is so close!

He has started smiling big and laughing out loud...it is SO cute and we have been loving it!

Look at those cheeks...LOVE this boy!! He is such a chill baby!

Fishing with dad!

Bathtime!!! This by far is his FAVORITE activity...Look at those rolls and double chin!! He is 13 lbs and almost 4 months old!
