It's been a while...

Well it has been a while since I last updated my blog I was having a computer issue but I have figured it out!!! Here are a bunch of random pictures of what has been going on with the Rider family for the last month and a half.

Childrens Museum:

We took Hudson to the Childrens Museum and he had so much fun especially in the water area, However he didn't like the little apron that much it was on and off the whole time.

Baby Shower:

My mom had a baby shower for me and it was so much fun she decorated it so cute and it was more of an Open House which was really nice to be able to talk to people and they could come and go as they pleased. She had people making adorable onesies for Baby Payton and they turned out so cute. She made CD's to give to everyone of some great music , and she also had Chocolate candy bars with the wrapper that she ordered that said Payton Zachery Rider it was way to cute!

My 25th Birthday:

I had such a great day I spent time with Hudson in the day and then in the evening I went out to dinner with two of my best friends from High School to Beaches Restaurant and had so much Fun! We then celebrated with my family on Sunday , and it was a birthday of bags I got my oh so cute Nine West black patent leather purse that will double as a diaper bag and a diaper bag that is by JJ Cole and I love it, it is more practical and will be easy to take and go when I need to so it was great! I also got some fun Cup Cake decorations and a cup cake stand I have recently been into making cupcakes like crazy and was so excited to see that Huddy Buddy got "cup Take Stuff" for me so it was so fun and cute. Okay so I just realized that we didn't take any pictures of the Sunday birthday bummer oh well.

During the Memorial Weekend Amanda and Chad and Madelyn and little Baby Trey came down for the holiday and we went to this in door water park that was perfect for younger kids. Hudson and Madelyn loved it they loved it so much we went back twice! It was so great it had a lazy river and a slide that Hudson could sit on Zac's lap and go down with him and a great fountain area all in all what a great day we had I even got in my swimming suit at 35 weeks prego and had fun in the water as well.

On Sunday we went to church with my parents and of course took a family picture afterwards.

Madelyn and Hudson had so much fun they were creating their own bounce house with the air mattress I really get better at taking pictures cause it was so cute and the rest of us had fun playing Nertz and other games.

Today May 28th Hudson wasn't feeling all that well so once he rested and was feeling a little more himself I told him he could help me make cup cakes and he loved helping especially putting the sprinkles on!!

Enjoying the SUN!!

Well we had great weather Friday and Saturday Hudson was so excited to use his Finding Nemo Sprinkler that he got from his Nana Cassie and he loved it we set it up in our back yard and just watched him run back and forth and try to shoot the water toward Zac and I it was so much fun we Later went with some friends the Hendricksons to a park and had a picnic dinner and played on the swings and the jungle gym. Hope you all had nice weather over the weekend and enjoyed it as well!

Hudson's 2nd Birthday

Well Hudson had a great Birthday we had it the day of his actual birthday the 5th of June. It was a Buzz Lightyear Birthday Party and we had all the kids come dressed up like their favorite character it was so much fun!!

We had Taylor as Cinderella and her brother Connor as Buzz and Mckenna as Snow White and cousin Madelyn as a Princess. What I found out is that Birthday parties for little kids are a little over whelming to them at first, The first thing we did was take their picture and they were all a little like what is going on here so we didn't get a big group shot but their individual pictures turned out way cute! Once we printed out their picture they got to decorate a picture frame to take home with them.

We moved on to doing a Pinata (Buzz of course) it was great it was a pull string Pinata so they were whacking Buzz. We opened presents and had Cake later it was a great party. Here are a few more pics from the party. After the Party we went out to dinner Hudson wanted to got to the (Bird) which is Red Robin and it was so crazy we got there late and didn't get our food for a while and sad to say but we only got one picture and it is of Hudson coloring not a big group shot I was bummed but oh well!

Easter Weekend

Well we had a great Easter Weekend she dyed Easter Eggs on Friday and Hudson loved it, he didn't like waiting for the eggs to turn dark though. He loved putting on the stickers of little monkeys and lions it was his first year dying easter eggs!!

Saturday we had our family little Easter we hid Hudson's basket and some toys that he got from the Easter Bunny he loved finding everything and looking in the eggs for stuff!

Hudson especially loved his BUZZ sunglasses and His carpet Skateboard! After opening the skateboard he for some reason felt that his shirt needed to be off to try it out.

Easter Sunday we went to church with my parents and had a fun Egg Hunt after church Hudson loved finding all the eggs and there were plenty for him to find his basket was so full! I guess we only video tapped him searching for the eggs at Nana's and Grampa's house so sad! How weird that our Easter pictures outside came out so dark oh well.

Trip to Boise

Well we had so much fun going to Boise last weekend! It was great seeing Baby Talmadge being blessed and spending time with Matthew and Kim. Zac and I and Hudson went on the plane to Boise and Hudson loved the ride and he did very well I was so surprised we brought out DVD player and had it on for maybe 5 min other than that he was eating the snack from the plane and playing with his airplane that makes noise it was great! Hudson was so excited












to pull his own suitcase it was so cute. At the Boise Airport we were waiting and he loved to race his plane and look out of the skylight.

Here are some pictures of the weekend with Baby Talmadge and Hudson , Hudson loved baby Talmadge and kept trying to give him toys and touch his little hands it made me really excited for how he is going to be with his own little brother!

The day of the blessing we were taking so many pictures and cute little Talmadge was asleep for a lot of them at least he wasn't crying right. In the pics is Matt and Kim and my mom and dad and Amanda and baby Trey along with Adam and Nick it was so much fun having the family together especially since Adam is in school and we don't get to see him much, sad to say Chad Amanda's Husband couldn't make it or Madelyn we missed them though Hudson missed hanging out with Maddie but love Trey!
