RYKER THE STRIKER!!!

It's always fun to Rhyme with Peoples names.   So We always Rhymed with Rykers name: Ryker the Hiker, Striker, Biker.

But whenever we Said Ryker the Striker We always thought that, we would be saying it at his Soccer games, or Football games, or Baseball games.

But It gives new meaning Now that he's like a 3 yr old professional bowler. ha ha ha

Its sooo cute.  He is sooo serious about it too.  He grabs his red ball ; He walks up a bit, then Pauses, then Runs up and LETS the ball Roll.    

All though they all have bumpers Most of the time his ball just goes straight down the center of the lane.   It's shocking at how well he does for a 3yr old.   He gets at least one strike every saturday and a good 3-4 spares!  

I'm not a soccer mom!!! I'm a Bowling Mom ha  ha ha ha.    I'm sooo proud!!!

I looked out the window and what did I see??????

Well I guess  I have been putting this off for a awhile.   Well Heres a bit of an update.

Ryker is the Highscorer at his PW-Bumper Bowling league!   He got two strikes and two spares in one game !!!! I"m sooo proud!    Its funny that - this isn't like soccer or foot ball or track -- but Bowling!   Its really cute.

Well So after having Ryker being my Cling-on at  church ( for primary)-  It's probably a good thing that they asked me to be the Primary Secretary.  ha ha ha!   It should be pretty funny but I'll do my best.

Anyway

Today at church the lesson in R.S.  was about having  prayers answered before you ever even asked the prayer; and how they come in a  step by step  way to achieve whatever it is you are trying to .-Does that make sense?-

Well in my case.   The past few weeks  I had been trying to better myself personally and spiritually ( i have been down for a long long time)  I thought it was time for me to spiritually boost myself up.     Well step by step I was getting better ( listening to my scriptures),  doing more with my children, and (a really tough one for me ) being social.

I have never been much of a social person before but a friend asked me over for breakfast the other day and Usually I would say no but I enthusiastically said YES (big step for me)

  I said to her I would love to come over.    When  I went over I noticed many many many Crosses on her walls and in every room- so I asked if she was Catholic.   She said yes.   And So I said to her-  You probably didn't even know this but I'm Mormon And she said REally??? I had no idea!!!

And for some reason my mind was soo clear at what I was able to say  ( when she was going to ask questions about our church)-- but usually my mind is cluttered and I wouldn't be able to answer questions or anything.    She asked me if We believed in the Holy Trinity and I said Well We Believe that they (in the Trinity are Separate beings- Heavenly Father Jesus Christ and the Holy ghost)  and I told her We believe the bible and then I also said somepeople are confused about the BoM.  But We believe that its ANOTHER testament of Jesus christ here in the Americas  and that it goes Hand in Hand. .....  She said that makes complete sense... because she thought that Mormons just rewrote the bible completely. And that We believe that the Prophet and apostles had been restored back on the earth etc.  It was very positive and enlightning experience and  to myself to know that I had the guts and the knowledge to say what I knew about the church! Especially with out getting tongue tied.  And it was a Positive thing!  

I'm proud of myself.

Another step by step---- At Rykers Bowling league there is a little girl named Jordyn on his lane.  He little sister was there too.  I was cheering on Jordyn a lot and everytime she did really well she came and gave me a sweet hug!   And then when her little sister wanted to bowl She started fussin and her mom looked stressed so she put her girl down and she reached her arms out for me and I started playing a little bouncy game on my knee and she was smiling and giggling and laughing!  

So I think that these things ( these steps) have been leading up to something- well being a Primary Sec.  and  Also being so bold to introduce myself to a New woman who was just baptised a few weeks ago--- it turns out that Tyler was her instructor just a few weeks ago!!!  Wow another step for me!!!

Now I see why these step by step guides help us!  It's pretty crazy to thing of me doing all of these positive things in my life right now.

the winegar family dressed to kill

I brought back (from my utah) some home videos

One is of me and my childhood and one is of Megans.

I watched mine today in Rykers room ( his tv is the only connected to a VCR-dvd Combo).  

It was soo fun to see all the funny things I did when i was little.  

On my video - It had lots of my birthdays and one of our Christmas Eve party type thingy from like the early 90's.  My family was sooo young.  My oldest brother Cory ,Had to only be 16 years old.   He and Weston had these hair cuts that were borderline Mullet.   Megan had her hair All over the place and kept stealing the camera shots saying Hi Mommy then giggling!  Holly had long blond hair.  Jordan had longer Curly hair and it was curly and he had such a young voice too!

My mom had like a bowl cut,  My dad's hair was Black! and My grandma and grandpa were so young!  Hearing my grandpa speak in it was sooo crazy!! He sounded sooo young!!

It seems that hair is the one thing that's stuck in my memory

And When I caught glimpse of me!  I had these HUGE brown glasses on my face!   It was sooo hilarious!!!  i was this small little girl with long hair ( all over the place) with HUGE brown thick frames!!!

We were all wearing bedtime robes and my brothers were wearing towels on their heads and My dad was the donkey and My sister Holly was Mary.   It was sooo funny!

But it brought back many many many memories.   

In one of the clips of video my mom caught me singing in the bath tub ( i was prolly only about 4 yrs old).    I was singing the little mermaid and splashing around  like one too.    Then I started singing I am a child of God  when I noticed her taping .... then I said MOM.

I've got all these things runnin around my head :-)

I love it when it rains hard core here at night when i'm not planning on going anywhere.

It rains sooo hard, it sounds like a waterfall outside our doors and windows.   Then the lightning is sooo close and the thuder is soooo loud!!!! I love it.  That's one thing I like about GA.  

if you live or have lived in Utah then you Know that wonderful Sage brush smell after a rain  I love that sage brush smell. It is so sweet and sooo fresh!!!!  Just like using Zest and being Zestfully clean.   

Well The next morning after a rain here- you get this potent smell of Poop.   ha ha ha  The pipes are closer to the surface here -not like in utah where they are deep deep in the ground).    

Awwwe  the nice smell of poop to start the day.  Would you like a baby wipey with that??? Or hand sanitizer?  Or Lysol?    Well my solution to the problem - I like to put those car fresheners (the ones shaped like trees) around my neck so I can smell that instead of the poop.

I know this is pretty random, but that's just how I roll I guess.

Don't worry you're confused.

today I thought- Do people want to really know what goes inside my head????  So I thought I'll type exactly what I am thinking..... you'll prolly get confused because inside my head my thoughts jump from place to place.

South park is sooo funny!

Lola dangit you need to go potty - i'm too tired to take you.  maybe if i wait long enough ty will take her.

Did i record Greys Anatomy? Hopefully its on HD and not regular TV.

Should I got to Victoria Secret when Ty flies on Friday?

Oh ya I need to pay ryker and spikes tuition this week don't forget, don't forget don't forget.

should I make the Ahi Tuna salad tomorrow?  Ya or else the Avocados will go bad.

Man these commericals suck down here but they still make me laugh.

Ty do you have chapstick?

Oh crap he's goin to sleep i have to take lola out.

ha ha ha why do farts always make me laugh?  

ok i'm gonna take lola out Now 

maybe not Now, Now, but Now???? No hold on.

This episode of South park is funny but stupid.     Oooo I want to go to Mellow Mushroom for pizza YUM.

Oh wait Luigis sounds good too!   Crap I need to wax my mustache, I'll have to write that down so I don't forget -which is funny because If i see it I shouldn't forget. 

Wow I'm tired.  Dangit Rykers school starts early and I should go to bed!   Ok ok ok I'm going to For reals take lola out then go to bed

ha ha ha ha ha i totally farted I could feel it comin but I thought it was poo.  I need a snack.  Dont get a snack dont get a snack -new year resolution- new year resolution- new year resolution.

ok lola lets go potty

good night for reals though because I'm really gonna take lola out

Um , Ya, about that....

I decided To be Less Selfish this year  and um, It's not working out so well.   OOPS!

well My real Resolution was to be more positive, So I think that being selfish would qualify under that category.

Ty and I were having a conversation about him and work and I immediately turned it around to me!  And It didn't affect me in the least!!!  Wow, Right!!

So since I'm attempting at more positivity I was really shocked at how fast I turned the conversation around and bla bla bla.  

Thankfully I noticed!

I may not be doing the best job of it but I guess I did a tiny bit of a good one at trying out my resolution.

im sorry, it's prolly rude!!! but i'm gonna say it anyway

Ok OK  OK !!

I was just thinking about this..... Its kinda random!!!!!

But you know when you Hear, like a black woman say..." I went through 20 hours labor and  Brought you into this world!!!! You Know I will TAKE YOU OUT"!!!!!

Well I was thinking because, like someday Ty and I would love to adopt a girl if we can!!!

And adoption costs a lot of money!!!!

So I was thinking  --- Do people who adopt say:  Girl I Paid  $50,000 to bring you to this country and I want a Refund!!!  or Do they say like you have to pay me back??? or what????  I dunno just something I was pondering!!!
