Yes I know it has been awhile since I have added any posts. The lack of time is due to the fact that life is filled with a full time job, a house, a pair of nutso cats and a very wild child named Holden Gene Ryding. It has now been a little over a year since I have posted anything so I will try to do some catch up.....wish me luck!!

Hurricane Holden

Holdy is really good at tearing a place apart in a matter of a half hour...

Imagine a whole evening...

Or the whole day...

This kid needs more toys....

Or a playroom so he doesn't have to sit in his toybox...

We will think about that one!!

Thomas

Holdy just loves Thomas the Tank Engine!!

He loves all trains really!!

New Terrorist Group??

Not quite sure why they seem to have buckets on their heads quite often?

Aunt Jenn will love this pic!!

I think Uncle Nicka is behind it all!!

Fun With Nicka & Jenn

Holden always has such a blast with his Uncle & Aunt lately!!

Who needs expensive toys when you have GIFT BAGS!!

Chillin with his Peeps on Easter!!

Helping fix the vent..or supervising??

Uncle Nicka was using static electricity to give Holden more energy!!

Lets see how sturdy this laundry basket is!!

New Old Desk

I found this Awesome desk on Craigslist for super cheap..

it is a great place for him to sit and color while im making dinner!!

Here is the genius at work figuring out the cure for Cancer.

Birthday Party at Daycare

We are so lucky to have such a wonderful daycare!! Every kiddo gets a Birthday Celebration!! So since Wheat Free/Egg Free isn't so great Mayma (aka Gramma Carla) make some wonderful sugar cookies that were shaped like tools. So the kids had an Ice Cream and Cookie party for our little 2 year old!! He had such a blast!!

Here is Holden handing out the party favors.
Here he is with his party favor.

Cookies & Ice Cream

Did I mention that he had a blast!!

My Mr. Fix It

Holden got many sets of tools for Christmas and he is really good at using them.

Im never able to tell him that something is broken cause he goes

and gets his tools and "fixes" it. This child is too smart!!

Fixing the bookshelf.
He loves safety glasses!!

And he has a nicer drill that I have!!

Funny Outfits

Holdy keeps himself very entertained putting different articles of clothing and shoes on that don't necessarily "GO".

He always makes me smile though!!
The gloves are a little big!!

Played Out

This little man played soooo hard over the holidays that lead to a few nights of completely falling over and crashing out on the couch!!

Why don't kids necks get as sore as ours??

Ahhh!!

It has been way too long since ive last been on here..

lets just say that life has been a whirlwind!!

But ill try to do some catching up now!!

Happy Birthday

We just wanted to say Happy Birthday to Uncle Nicka!! We hope you have a wonderific 11,680th (not including leap years) day on the planet. We Love You Very Much!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Baby Boy

Happy 2 Years on the Planet Little Boy!!

We Love You So Much!!

You are growing so Fast!!

You are such a GOOF!!

You have such a great smile!!

You are our little STAR!!

And one heck of a dresser!!

Jumping

I think that Holdy has been jumping for about 3 weeks straight. It started just on the floor but then he discovered he could start from higher and get some air!!!

We should probably put a helmet on this child!!
1-2-4 GO!!

I love how he manages to Hold onto the blanket the whole time.

I give him a 10 for the landing!!!

Sometimes Daddy & Momma keep right on going even when

Holdy has moved onto the next thing.

B-O-O-T-S

Holden LOVES his frog boots. Everytime he gets them

on his feet the dancing maniac takes over again.

In my frog boots

In my frog boots

I dance around in my frog boots

In my boots..STOMP-STOMP

In my boots..STOMP-STOMP

I dance around in my boots!!

Ok I did that...When is supper???

Something New

Making the most of what is left of summer.

Here is Holden on his classic red tricycle learning how to ride. His legs are about 1.5 inches too short to even reach the pedals but he sure gave it a try!!!
At least he is very happy at the same time!!

It ended up where he just used his legs to push himself where he needed to go.

There..this one fits a little bit better!!

I have a feeling that next summer we won't be able to stop him no matter how fast we run!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

I know it's a little bit late...but....

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!

We Love You Very Much!!

The Wedding

The next day was was Dera & Eric's Wedding. It was a beautiful day and the wedding was gorgeous!! We didn't get many pics from the wedding itself cause I was in it but this post is all about the danging maniac that is Holden!! I couldn't get then to load in the order that I wanted but you get the picture.

He finally crashed at 11:30 and slept till 10am the next morning.
We had to hold onto this boy kicking and screaming just to get him to settle down. He was asleep in about 5 minutes!!

Right in the middle of the action..all the time.

The Hokey-Pokey was a great time!!

This kid has got some pretty good moves!!
