New Years was spent in Mammoth...we had a great time sledding, playing in some fresh snow and trying to catch snowflakes on our tongues!

Christmas was a blast this year! Ryde got lots of goodies, but keeping true to his name he liked the "ryde" on things the best!

We took a trip to Phoenix to visit some friends in Mid December and our lil' man got to go to the ZOO as well as play at the big park in Fountain Hills!

our lil' skater boy!

Daddy's little helper!!!

So, I have gotten a lil' grief for not posting some new pics up here, but I've been a lil' busy. Going to school and working has not allowed time for picture posting, but I'm here now so I will fill you in....Ryder has loved his summer even as hot as it is...he will play outside on his bike, or now skateboard ramp for hours and Nick just hoses him off every now and then. We have not been on the lake as much this year but Ryder still loves to go on the lake in his boat, but we have been able to spend some time at Grandma and Grandpa Lampi's house playing in the pool. The boy loves the water and goes into full meltdown when it's time to get out. "G" and MeMa Bliss have a new member to their toy family "Polaris Ranger" and have generously donated the "GC" to the Ryder Toy Fund.

Training season has begun!

A cute videos of Ryde and his new best friend!

His now favorite "Uncle Ed" brought this lil' 50 over to the house and it became Ryde's best friend!

Ryde loves the water and is doing really well at swimming in the pool...but the shorts way him down ;)

Ryde's first experience"beh- ind" the boat, went pretty well, but the water is still a touch cold so I think he'll relax a little better when it is warmer!

Ryde with one of his favorite obsessions!

Ryde on our friends Eric and Angie's Harley!

Spring Break in Lake Havasu is a lil' different when you names are mommy and daddy!

Do you want to go on the boat?

I would say he does!

Ryde loves this blow up sleeping bag/chair that his Grandma Bliss got him for Christmas!

The day after the big bday bash we took grandpa Bliss' golfcart for a lil' spin down to the lake from our house!

We had a Birthday Party for Ryder and his friend Alexis! Ryder turning 2 and Alexis 3! The kids had a great time we rented a bouncing maze and Grandpa Bliss brought over his lifted Golfcart for Ryde (knowing he loves this thing) and all the neighborhood kids came over and rode on the track! It was a fantabulous time...in fact the kids were playing soo much it was dark by the time we blew out the candles on the cakes!

Ryde, Mommy and Lu went to Mammoth a couple weeks ago and Ryde was finally able to really enjoy the snow!
