My friends were so sweet this past weekend to surprise me with a monkey themed baby shower for Baby Ryder!!! With just about a month left to go before meeting this sweet boy, mommy is finally starting to realize all the things that babies need after almost 4 years ago with Carissa. I was so excited to see great friends, enjoy some yummy food and celebrate this wonderful new addition to our family. Mandy made the cutest monkey diaper cake, Chemeeka did an awesome job on monkey chocolate lollipops for favors, Carrie made the most adorable monkey cupcakes and Jenny's house looks super cute with lots of monkey decorations.....Since Ryder will be bunking with Carissa for awhile we decided to do greens and browns with monkeys since her room was already pink and green:) It was so nice to see how many people already love him as much as we do and thank you to all of them for such a special day:)
Dear Santa, I have been a good bubba doo and little mama this year. I would like the following things for Christmas

Mason: "Mom, now you know that I do not like bananas without the SPLIT" -5/2010 "Mom, God is not hearing Me...I want him to take me to the North Pole to see Santa" Me: "Maybe you need to go pray harder" - Mom: "Mason, you really need to pick up all this mess you made in your room, Mommy worked hard to clean your room yesterday. Mason replies"Mom, it's not always about you" hah...when is it ever!!! - Carissa is hitting wall with toy hammer! Mason says " Absolutely not Little Girl, thats Un-insectible" (exceptable) What do you expect from a kid obsessed with bugs!!! - Sorry about that GaGa, thats the way the Cookie Crumbles!!" - "Momma, I'm a Kniver Momma, I'm a Kniver" -"Argh...Captian Skunky Pie...Yo Ho Yo Ho a Pirate's Life for Me" a born-again Pirate since My Niece's Birthday Party - "Momma, Just Drop me off at Old Navy so I get a new Bouncy ball and you go to Target, Just drop me Off" - "Good Morning Little Mama (Carissa) It's a Beautiful day outside to play in my Sandbox" - "GaGa (grandma) I not say Ciao in Italian, I only speak Ranch" - "Momma, can you hot glue lemon Mack Again" A favorite Semi Truck he breaks all the time and thinks ANYTHING can be fixed with HotGlue...
