Our life these days..

We really have had a pretty good life lately! Rye and I both have certain things that make us happy, and we are so lucky to be able to have those things in our lives right now...Family dirt road drives, working, family horse rides, camp outs, and just being so far from the rest of the world! It is so fun to get to give our kids the same memories and opportunities we had when we were little! were so happy to live so close to Rye's dads ranch (two hours) Rye has had so much fun helping his dad, I can tell it makes him so happy, so even tho It is so hard to share him haha! I let him go! Holden is in pure Heaven! He gets to have grandpa Russ all to himself (and he loves him) Aunt Karen, and uncle Dave (who he also LOVES) and everyone else out there! We have gone out a few times, all the pictures are from random trips. I posted so many!


^ this is one tough little boy!! he didn't even cry... (BELOW) All these guys are so sweet to Holden, they always have him so convinced he is doing all the work!! He was sure he loaded all the cows by himself!

Two little cuties in the bunk house!

You cant tell but it was FREEZING this trip!!! it even snowed!

I have spent a lot of time chilling in the bunkhouse with Knoxer, and so Rye took us on a family ride! and YES I rode with him in a back pack! talk about achy back afterwords!!
ABOUT KNOX!-

He crawls!! He can just crews around to! He can climb up the couch to! He is so strong and coordinated! He loves mommy, and actually loves daddy probably as much. He is a sweetheart, but is very demanding, and well reserved. He is so strong, I already cant change his diaper most of time without Ryes help. He loves to laugh and giggle. I think his smile is the most PERFECT thing in the world......one of the most favorite things in my life right now is rocking him. Rye's parents gave me a rocking chair for Christmas when Holden was a baby, and I remember Russel writing me a letter saying to Cherish every moment I have in that chair.....and I truly do. My kids make me so happy........

ABOUT Holden!-
He is so out of control! He has such a strong personality!

Pumpkins are Pine cones, Hot is cold, up is down, he has anything with an opposite wrong! He Recently made best buddies with a homeless lady at the library (katherine!) She loves him, and and her and him just laugh (so loud!) and have such a good time at the library! She gives him pretty much anything she can offer him....it's sweet.

We love these to both so much!
