Ryker's AlMoSt ONE YEAR OLD pics!!!

I know my little guy doesnt turn one for another month but a few days ago we had his pics taken. The main reason that I wanted to get them done early is so that we can have them on his birthday party invites! Here are just a few of my favs! I think Melissa did an amazing job and it was just so much fun! Check out her work @ melissabrynerphotography.blogspot.com












4th of JuLy!!!

We had a fabulous 4th of July weekend! We started the holiday off by attending the Oakly Rodeo! We have been doing this family/friend tradition for 10 years now and I still LOVE it! I was really wanting to find some cowboy boots that Ryks could sport but no luck, so we had to settle for some patriotic flip flops that were just as cute! The rodeo was so fun as we had a picnic beforehand then the rodeo and the fun firework display after. I love this time of year! The next day we headed up to Bear Lake were we stayed and played all weekend! My mom makes every holiday so fun and special, I hope I can follow in her shoes with Ryks and future kiddos someday!
