{3 Years}

Ryker,
You turning three as been bitter sweet. I have loved every minute with you. Even if at times you may not listen, get in trouble, run away from me at the store, or climb on the counter. It makes it all worth it when you come up to me and give me a great big kiss on the lips, say I luv you mommy, pat my back and when you will come up and cuddle with me. 
I am so grateful that Heavenly Father trusted me to have you as my own. I love you son.
Love, Mommy

My Big Boy,
You are a ton of fun. We play, wrestle, you squish me, play hide and seek, and have tickle fights. I'm very happy you are my boy and you act much of the time as if I had cloned you.
Just like mommy, I am happy to have you with us.
Love daddy.


You are talking non stop. You are always asking questions, telling me what you see, and your facial expressions crack us up.
Phrases I love…
*Daddy was showing you a picture of you in my tummy and you looked at daddy and said, “mommy sucked me up.”
*When you see something you haven’t seen you will say, “Where did this come from?”
* You; “I’m a robot” 
    Me;  “ Hi, robot”
    You; “ No, I’m Ryker” 
     Me: “ You just told me you are robot” 
    You; “ No, I’m Ryker!”
* “Mommy, there’s a problem".
* Dad and I  love it when you will run around and yell, “I’m a guy". We have no idea where this phrase came from, but it sure makes us laugh every time.
* You started to take showers with dad and then it ends up with you playing in the bath tub filled with your shower water.
* You like things to be a certain way. If one pant leg is up you get frustrated and have to instantly pull that pant leg down to match the other one.
