Happy 4th of July from the Bliss'

The Bliss' in the Channel

Pizza is yummy!

mmm-mmm tasty!

The Bliss children getting their cardio work-out in...

it's important to get your yoga in every morning!

Ryde is doing great! He has started going to a babysitter 2 days a week while mommy goes to work...They tell me he is doing great having fun jibber jabbering with the other kids.

Ryde and Daddy having a good time in the pool!

The Bliss' 1st new home!

So May was a big month... The Bliss' bought their first home!!!!! We moved in the beginning of May but it has taken us awhile to find all our belongings that had been in storage for the past 8 months. We are so happy with our lil' home. The backyard is full of sand that will hopefully turn into something beautiful one of these days but for now Ryder has the biggest sandbox a lil' boy could ask for!

A lil' boy got a hair cut!

Elmo and Me!

This walking

stuff is easy!!

Even if I do

walk like

a penquin....

Like a typical boy Ryde likes to drop his food off the side of the table to see who would get it, well guess who got it this time........








Yep, lulu!

A couple of Ryde's friends we went to visit in Phoenix a couple weeks
ago.





Matthew Jadon and Ryde are all awaiting the arrival of the first lil' girl to bless the group. Can't wait to meet you lil' lady Page.....

Happy Easter!


Ryde had a great Easter with some friends of ours where he got lots of gummies and a lil' assistant with the egg hunt.

Ryder has been enjoying the beautiful weather we have been having around here lately. We try to go to the park at least 3 times a week to get out and see someone other than daddy and sissy lu!

Boating

Season

is

upon

us!

It's a good thing Ryde likes the boat and water because he really doesn't have much of a choice.

Kahlua Bliss!!!
she really has been a great big sister......
just look at the stuff she has been putting up with...........

So most of you know our lil' punkin had eye surgery on March 29th.

The lil' champion did great!!!

a lil' compative coming out of

anesthesia but recovered well.

He is now back to his old self

and causing Kahlua grief. Thank you for all the support we really do appreciate it.

Ryde has a new place to park his helmet.
That's right he never
has to wear it again........!!!

Ryder and Daddy

motorcycle races

It appears Nick

has stars in his eyes

wishing he was out

there on the track!

Our latest trip

to Mammoth with

a great group of

friends produced

these most recent

pictures of Ryde and

mommy..

Although hard to see

Ryder is wearing a

one of a kind beanie

handmade by his

"Uncle" Berg!

- L.O.W. Ryders -

A beloved friend and "Uncle" to Ryder Powell lost his life in a tragic accident 2 years ago -

this is his bench that we visit often and enjoy the memories....

We miss you Powell Dewey Williams!

The wheather is warming up here in the LHC and we have all been spending some much needed time at the pool. Ryde loves spending time in the water as long as he can touch the step! And thanks to his cousins and Aunties he looks pretty spiffy while soaking up the sun...with a good layer of Water Babies of course!

13 months ago Ryder Powell was brought into our lives to bring us joy and crazyness! He has overcome so many hurdles this past year and become an amazing lil' man.
