I Need Advice

Ok moms out there, I need some advice before Ryan drives me crazy. He has started gagging himself to the point that he throws up. It is only when we are in the car. I try to stop him but I can't reach him and when I give him toys to distract him he usually throws them and starts doing it again. It makes me sick to sit and listen to him gag himself! Not to mention that his clothes smell like barf! Has any one else had this problem? What did you do? Thanks for any advice. Maybe I will post something a little more light hearted soon :)

New Blog

Hey I just wanted to let everyone know I started a new blog called Simple and Sensible. I am always looking for ways to make life easier so I thought I would start a blog sharing everything I have learned. It's just going to be simple ideas for cooking, activities with kids, money saving ideas and so on. Please share this with anyone you think would like it. The address is simpleandsensible.blogspot.com. I am going to try to put up a new idea every day. We'll see how long I can keep it up.

Keep scrolling down, there is another new post about my cute little guy!

Lot's of Fun

Well for Easter Ryan got cute outfit from Grandpa and Grandma Larsen, and a Chocolate bunny from Grandpa and Grandma Wood. So here are a few pictures with both. He wanted to share his chocolate bunny with everyone, but it was kinda slimy. Poor Amber has to always put up with him sharing everything. I"m glad he likes to share, but I don't care for ABC (already been chewed) food! Also, we have been going to the park by our house and Ryan loves it. His favorite is the tube slide. He even climbs up and goes down by himself. He is growing up way too fast!









Speaking of growing up too fast, my baby started nursery on Sunday. They said he did pretty well. He cried when other kids cried though. The only had to bring him to me once and that was because he needed his bum changed. Yay for being able to listen at church again. This little outfit was his Easter one, but I didn't get any pictures on Easter Sunday. It was kind of a busy day. But I think he looks like a stud in them. I am trying to learn how to take pictures, I hate paying sooo much money for something that I could easily learn. So if you have any pointers on how to take amazing pictures I would love to hear them. Oh and there some cute pictures of him playing with bubbles too. I was trying to get some good pictures of him but he wouldn't look at me so my sister had to break out the bubbles. But we got some really fun pictures of him.








I love how he always runs with his little tongue out now!


This one is one of my favorites...he just looks like he is imagining he is going to fly away or something. Really, he was closing his eyes because bubbles were falling down on him.

I Love Baby Steals!

So for any of you moms who don't already know about this website, it is the coolest (yet most dangerous on the budget). It is called babysteals.com. Everyday at 9 am they put up a new baby or mommy item that is a lot cheaper than usual. It's like 50-80% off. Amazing! I have bought some awesome things and just wanted to share it with you. Of course I have ulterior motives, they are having a contest where you can win $150. So feel free to post about it so you can win too! I hate to admit it but I have become quite addicted to it. Everyday at 9, no matter what I am doing, I race back to the computer so that I can beat everyone else to the steal. One time they even put a wrong price on an item and they still gave it to me for that price. I got an $80 blanket for under $20. It was a lucky day! Anyways, they really have great stuff so if your budget and husband are ok with it...then check it. (They are here in Utah but they ship stuff any where in the U.S.)

Guess What I Found

So for Christmas I got a new camera and completely forgot about my old one. I found a roll of film that was done from a few months ago. So the pictures are old but still cute! I will have to add a few more later because I need to rotate them and it's not letting me so I am going to have to figure it out first.

Here's Ryan's first time in the snow. He loved it! He would just giggle when we went outside and it was snowing. Most of the time he just sits in the snow and eats it.


Ryan LOVES bananas. He eats a whole one every morning for breakfast. No wonder he looked so natural in his Halloween costume below!


Dax's mom gave Ryan a little bunny for Easter last year. It plays music and he loves it. Well one day I heard him getting mad and came out to see the he had managed to force the head of the bunny through the gate while trying to get it from the other side. It was pretty funny.


Trick-or-Treating wore this little monkey right out!


I made this costume for him and I was worried he was going to hate it. He actually did okay with it and I manged to catch a few pictures with him actually wearing the ears. He sure made a cute little monkey.
