Ryker's 1st Day of 1st Grade

Today marked alot of "1st" for Ryker. It was his 1st day of 1st grade and his 1st time attending school as a LYNDEN LION! Yep, we made the switch from LC to Lynden this year. It was a hard choice but we really feel we did the right thing. Here he is with his teacher this year...he doesn't look a bit nervous does he???

Who da Chubby Chubby Baby...

All I Want For Christmas Are My 2 Front Teeth...

Ryker lost his other front tooth today. I LoVe it when kids loose their front teeth around the same time...something so cute about the toothless smile.

KiNdErGaRtEn GRAD...

The picture says it all! Way to go Ryker. We are SO proud of YOU!!!!

Stuit, Old & Young...

I adore seeing the old(er) generations with the new generations. This picture of Slade and his great grandpa (Ray) Stuit is so precious.

Slade's Birth Announcement

This was the front of Slade's announcement and below is the back.

I loved the way these turned out. Monica Bedlington designed them and she did a great job.

Slade's Newborn Pictures

Time is zooming by faster than ever lately and I wish I could slow it down some. I feel like my days and nights just float together and I just want to "savor" each moment a little bit longer. Slade is already 6 weeks old so I thought I better post his pictures from his newborn photo shoot (which we did when he was just 6 days old on 1.29.2011). My friend, Jamie, took his pictures at our house and I was so happy with ALL of them. Here's a few (or a lot) that I wanted to share. I ended up making his announcements with some of my favorites...I will do that as another post.

You can tell I just fed him with that full belly of his.

So alert for being 6 days old.



Showing off the classic Stuit "bart lip"

Ryker is in absolute awe over his new baby brother.

These 2 boys of mine mean the WORLD to ME! My heart is full of nothing but LOVE for them!
