Happy Birthday Ryder

Yesterday was Ryder's 5th birthday!
He was so excited and has been counting down for months.

Tagg was a great little brother who joined in the celebration.

  
Its hard to tell what Ryder (they) enjoyed more....the anticipation, the presents or the cake.



It is amazing how quickly five years have passed. We are so proud of Ryder and have really enjoyed watching him grow up.

Football in the backyard

Ryder & Taggart love sports. Right now, they are really excited to put on their jerseys and helmets and get out in the yard. Unfortunately, they like the Boilermakers, Buffalos and Broncos.

To make the experience more exciting, we actually painted a small field in the back yard. The boys like it but requested that Daddy paint a CU Buffalo logo in the middle of the field.

Wilson

Heavy hearts in the Hutton Family as we said goodbye to our beautiful Golden Retriever, Wilson, yesterday. He was the most loyal friend we've ever had. Wilson, we will never forget the day you came into our lives. Now, we will never forget the day we had to say goodbye. We were lucky to love him and to have him love us. He taught us more than we ever taught him. He was an incredible companion, confidant, friend and family member who will not be replaced.
Ryder and Taggart are doing well but already miss him. Mommy and Daddy may not be doing as well as the boys.

The dirt track and obstacle course provided lots of fun, a few bumps and bruises and tons of excitement.
