How To Eat A Nectarine, by Ryder

1. Casually take a bite.
2. Show Mommy and Daddy how much you love the fruit.

3. Giggle because you can't help it.

4. Laugh out loud because it's just too good!

Repeat daily or until they're all gone! ;D

Love,
Ryder

May Updates

I am way behind on my blogging, as usual... But it's about time I posted pictures from grandparents' visits. First, at the beginning of May my parents, brother and sister-in-law & baby came to see us. It's was lots of fun, especially since we got to show my brother and sister-in-law, Samuel and Nicole, some cool places; the Mall of America, Nauvoo, Des Moines (okay, not that cool, but hey, they'd never been there). We had lots of fun!

Then, over Memorial weekend Paul's parents came. My mother-in-law Tracy has ancestors who lived in Oskaloosa, Iowa, and she was able to find more info on them while we were there. The weather was awesome during both times and so we really got to enjoy being outside and they got to enjoy Ryder in action. Ryder LOVED seeing so much family last month! Now we will hopefully be getting a few more visitors next month (Leandra and Brilee girl) and that will be great too. Here are some pics from the visits. :) Enjoy!
