New Memories...

KeIzYa AMy HunTsMAn!



This is my new, little niece! Baby Keizya (kay-zya) was born in the early hours on the 19th of March. She weighed a perfect 6 pounds and 6 ounces! At least a pound of her weight was hair! We are so glad that she is finally here! She and Ry will be great friends!






Keizya's mommy and daddy are doing great, despite the sleep deprivation and new baby routine! Nikki and Jeff are great parents and seem to enjoy the sweet moments with their new baby girl!











Ryu the tank and tiny, tiny Keizya.
Ry had to show off his six pack! Hot stuff!!






EASTER






Chris and I took Ry to the Spanish Fork Easter egg hunt on Saturday! We had so much fun, even though it was a little cool in the morning.

Ry had just gotten his shots the day before, so I wasn't sure if we were going to make it. But, he felt great and was all smiles early in the morning!

I think he liked all the commotion and to be outside. Besides, all the eggs spread out on the baseball field looked really cool. He didn't have a clue as to what was going on, but I thought it would be fun to check it out!



Chris...I mean Ry, got seven eggs! He won a few free bowling games, a kids meal, and some candy his mommy enjoyed on the way home!



Saturday's are not just for Easter egg hunts. There are things to do so, Chris got to wash the car. He was delighted...nothing better to do on a Saturday, Right?




We also stopped at the "I Dunno" restaurant to have breakfast with grandma and grandpa! Biscuits and gravy anyone? MMM...fattening!










My little guy has grown so much. At four months he weights 14 pounds and 8 ounces. He is a whopping 24 inches long and is outgrowing everything I buy him! He is a bean sprout I say!


Ry has had a few new adventures this last week. He got to try Rice cereal, which he didn't particularly care for. He prefers applesauce, hands down! I can't say I blame him! I don't think I would like rice cereal either.

Ry figured out the he can use his toes for other things, like kicking and pinching the itsy bitsy spiders. Toes are not just for "little piggies went to the market" anymore! Look out!








Ry can sit in his bouncy chair and actually touch the floor. He likes the independence and to move around all by himself. He is pretty fun to watch and laugh at!

In fact, the little guy tuckered himself out from all the bouncing. Sweet, little dude just had too much fun!


Wow! I love to be a mom! My only regret is that I can't spend, and devote, my whole day and time with him. I miss him every second that I am away. I love to watch him grow yet, I find myself missing yesterday. He is changing so fast! It is all that I can do to keep up with him!
It is so amazing to grow together as a family and watch Chris soak in daddy moments! Nothing has made us more happier and grateful than becoming parents and enjoying the many sweet and tender moments with Ryu.





Who couldn't love this smile?! I don't know what I would do without Ry and Chris. I am so lucky to have a family that feels so perfect. If I existed for only a few moments for Ry's smile and the experience of being a wife to Chris, life would be worthwhile!

Looks like so much fun. I agree with you, there is nothing better than watching your kids grow and learn, but you can't help at the same time wish that you could freeze them forever just the way they are. Being a mom is the best!

I like that last quote you wrote, isn't that the truth! He is getting so big! In one of the pictures he looks exactly like you, then in others...Chris! He's a cute boy! Good work!
