Family Pictures

Shari agreed to take our family pictures when she was here for Ryker's baby blessing.  She is a life saver.  Trying to take the kiddos to a studio and have them taken is not a fun experience.  Shari is super patient with us and can just follow Nyah around.  It's quite the challenge to get pictures where Ryan and I have our eyes open, Nyah is holding still (and looking in the right direction) and Ryker is happy.  We went to a park by our house and I love how the pictures turned out.  Thanks Shari!  I owe you big time. :)  Plus how many people have a photographer who will also do their little girl's hair?  I'm so lucky!

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

This year I decided to buy an annual membership to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo instead of the Denver Zoo just to mix it up a little.  We went the first time in July.  I took Nyah and Ryker and headed off.  It was bright and sunny, but I didn't check the weather (not my best plan).  By the time we got to Colorado Springs, it was already sprinkling, but I was determined to go to the zoo after making the rather long drive down there...  The weather did improve though and we got in some good time at the zoo before it started to rain again. :) I love the giraffe exhibit where Nyah can feed them, but I haven't decided where I'll buy a membership next year.  I do know that Nyah loves any zoo.

She fed this giraffe three crackers in about three seconds - no waiting required.

Ryker - 1 month pictures

I'm obviously behind again but wanted to post a couple of pictures we took when Ryker was one month old.  It's time to start catching up again. :)

We love this cute little boy!
