He's All Smiles!

Riken is so animated lately. For some reason he gets super excited when I lay him on his changing table to change his clothes or his diaper. He starts grinning and kicking his legs like crazy. There is nothing better than that sweet smile. It kills me. He wants to laugh so bad, but it hasn't happened yet. Here is a little collage of the funny faces he pulls. 

Rike's Newborn Pictures

We got Riken's newborns taken when he was almost four weeks old. We waited WAY too long to get them done and it was hard to get him to hold still for them. But I am so happy with how they turned out and I am just so in love with this little boy. He is seriously perfect. My aunt Aubrey took them, and she was so good and patient with him. Can you even stand the cuteness??

My Big Boy

I can't even believe how fast time goes when you have a little one. Riken is growing SO fast and I love every new thing he does, but it also breaks my heart to lose my tiny little 5 pound newborn. He is so active and fun right now. He rolls over, holds his head up really good, and smiles A LOT. We are now able to use some of the fun toys we have for him since he is strong enough to play in them. I love every new day with him, but I wish he would slow down just a little bit. My baby is not going to be a baby for long!

Valentines

We had a fun Valentines this year. Holidays are fun with kids. I love buying him presents and giving them to him, even though he has no idea what they are haha. Rike got spoiled by us and his grandparents with books, jammies, clothes, and toys. I got Kenzie some cute shirts and he got me a really pretty decoration for my house and some really pretty flowers. We got some cute baseball valentines to give to Riken's friends :) I wish I would have taken more pictures, but here are the ones we got done for Valentines and some from that day.

Uncle Time

Uncle Tyler had a really special weekend. On Saturday we all went to the Snow game to watch him cheer at the last home game. We won't be able to watch him again for at least two years now! He has learned so much and he is seriously so good at stunting. On Sunday he got ordained to be an elder. This is so special to me because Ty is going to be blessing Riken in a couple weeks. I am so proud of him and thankful to have both of my brothers in my life. Riken just loves his Uncles!

Go Utes.. I think?

I really don't care much about BYU and Utah, but everyone else seems to care a lot! Franki and Urs are always buying Riken Utes stuff and I love putting it on him cuz he looks so stinkin cute! He looks really cute in his BYU beanie tii, but I'm afraid my dad is going to have to accept the fact that Rike will probably be a Utes fan.

Little Kiddos

Little kids just love Riken, and he loves them! I swear people don't even care to see me and Kenz anymore. Everyone just wants to see the baby! Here are some of Riken's favorite chitlens.

Aunt Mickey

 Talyx and Lexxi had a sleepover with Riken a few weeks ago. They were so excited to help me bath him, feed him, change him, and play with him. We had to watch the UFC fights while they were here and the girls ended up wrestling around the living room saying "tap out, tap out" in their sweet little girl voices. It was so funny!

 The cutest cousins in the world! Bentleigh, Luhndyn and Cage were also more than happy to love on Riken for the first time. Cadence, Jae, and Kyler weren't there for the picture, but they are getting a baby sister this weekend so hopefully we will get pictures with them soon.

Bodey and Ty Jo are two of my very favorite kiddos in the world. Tyler is the sweetest thing in the world. The other day she told me that my drawings were too good to be true and that I should really talk to Lucinda Brotherson about doing it for a living! Haha, she acts so grown up and it is the cutest thing ever. 

January

January was a fun month for us. Riken is growing so fast and I swear he looks different every day. Here are some pictures of us last month.
