Blessed

This little man was blessed on April 10, 2011. His dad gave him a beautiful blessing. It was such a great day spent with family and close friends. We also had a fun weekend with Shane's mom and sister Jana, her husband and our darling nieces and nephew. We truly are blessed beyond words to have such great support and I know Ryder will come to find this out very early in life!

Here is the man of the hour


He get's so much love from this girl and is constantly being squeezed all day long.

Bri and I made these cupcakes but I can't take credit for her delish chocolate butter cream frosting that was a big hit.
Mmmmmm...
My mom also made our favorite for lunch...Cafe Rio shredded chicken salads. It was a beautiful day I will never forget.

Photo Shoot

We had a photo shoot with Heather Keil Photography. She did such a great job and captured some really sweet moments. Thank you so much Heather! If you are looking for an amazing photographer, you'll have to check her out http://heatherkeilphotography.com

Sorry there is a lot, but I had a hard time choosing just a few!















We are so blessed to have such a huge support system. My mom took a week off work to come and help out when the baby was born, and boy are we sure glad she did! The day we brought Ryder home Tylie came down with bronchitis so it was a crazy week. Having a newborn around a sick kid is a bit scary so my mom was so great to take Ty and still manage to take care of Ryder and I. She is amazing and I will forever be grateful for all of her help during such a stressful first week of two babes!

Grandma Bulkley came to help week two. We love when she comes and visits and Tylie was is pure heaven for that entire week. It was so nice to have her there to help and be there to help Tylie get used to having a new baby around. She loves the 100% attention she gets when grandma comes and visits! We are lucky to have such wonderful moms!

When Grandma Bulkley came we even managed to get out of the house for dinner one night. We went to the Lazy Dog Cafe. It was so nice to get out of the house even if for a couple hours.

Tylie is looking so old to me these days! She is obsessed with these darn old lady pearls. If she is not wearing them, they are at least in hand.
It's hard to keep a three year old occupied when there is a 45 minute wait. Gum is always the answer!

Love this one.
Tylie gives this bear kisses every time we go to the mall. I hope my kid is the old weird kid to kiss this fake bear statue, because if not I wonder how many other kids she is kissing when she gives him kisses!
