Ryker vs. Milk

I finally got the sickness that Chris had earlier in the week -which is pretty much 24 hour nausea followed by another 24 hours of feeling unsettled. Ryker had a little cereal and milk left in his bowl so I went upstairs to lay down on the floor in the kids room so Alana could play.  Ryker finally comes upstairs 20 min later and informs me that he has spilled his milk. This should be a quick clean up if any, there was only 1/4 inch of milk left in his bowl. I really didn't look at his clothes before he changes and we go down stairs to get it cleaned up. Wow! He apparently wanted more cereal and milk  and got the milk out of the fridge and tried to pour it into his bowl. Wow! It took a while to clean up since I had Ryker clean because he made the mess- which he really didn't want to do- and I was trying not to throw up. At least Alana was good in the high chair while it was getting taken care of.

Utah State Fair

Chris was sick for a few days and when he felt better we headed to the fair.  It was a great time Ryker loved the science tent where he went from having long legs to a long body he said "it's pretty cool".

 Waiting for the sea lion show we had my favorite fair food a funnel cake with strawberries:)

 Ryker sat on this huge pumpkin as a homage to the huge food in Alaska. It was 896 lbs! Chris and Greg agreed that this is pretty small in comparison.

 The 4H building is one of my favorite to visit and this year it had an amazing quilt that I wish I could take home. Go Aggies!

She is one hot babe!

When Alana went to sleep on Sept 5th she felt warm but she was all bundled up in a blanket and is usually warmer but at 1am on Sept 6th (our anniversary) at  Alana woke up with a fever of 102.4*F.  she still had her fever later in the day so we went to We Care to see Dr. Pace she caught what is going around and will have a fever for a few days and then break out in a rash which means she will no longer be contagious.  Her fever came and went but she was pretty much her same happy self.

8 years and flying HIGH!

Chris and I trade off planning our anniversary fun and this year was my turn.  I have wanted to go skydiving for a long time but Chris put the kibosh on that idea and it is really expensive. When we heard about IFLY and indoor sky diving facility, I really wanted to go.  Chris wanted to plan this for last year but you can't go when you are pregnant so I got tickets and surprised him with them for this year.  I was a little too excited and he found out early but we still had a great time.  We had a yummy lunch afterwards at Costa Vida.  Hours after that I still had marks on my face from the eye mask being pushed into my head by the helmet but would totally do it again, and again and again!!!
I am so blessed with a wonderful husband who knows how to make you feel loved and can have a great time and look silly doing it!  8 years can feel like an eternity- but that is what we are going for!

Alana's Highchair Bite

Alana loves to eat Cheerios and will be content until they run out while I am making dinner.  Chris put her in the highchair and gave her some Marshmallow Matey cereal to keep her content.  She was eating it and doing fine, until the marshmallows made such a mess and her fingers were sticking together so I went to clean off her hands. Only one had was sticky which was odd and then I noticed that her right arm was caught between the tray and the chair. She had sat there for about 20 minutes and wasn't crying about it but once her arm was free she cried a lot! Here are 2 pictures of her highchair bite that luckily didn't cause any damage and only lasted for a few days.  

Ogden Raptors

I spent a few days getting our blog updated and then life keep going and now I am behind again so I will try to get everything updated once again and try to stay caught up. 
We got some free tickets to the Ogden Raptors game on Sept 3rd.  Ryker got his picture with Oggie and the game was going well until the bottom of the 5th when the Idaho Falls Chuckards went on a hitting spree and then we decided to head home.  Hopefully we will be able to go again next season.

 

This is pretty much the face Chris makes when I want to get his picture or take a family picture somewhere and he thinks it is silly- Alana and I were really there. yes Ryker has the sunglasses on upside down -he thinks they fit better that way.
