Ryker Scott Mortensen

I have a son, a very handsome little boy. He stole my heart the second I saw him. And he has me wrapped around his tiny little finger.

I will say I wasn't expecting him for at least 2 more weeks.. I didn't think I was going to have my little man at 37 weeks. Ryker had other plans for me. Which is fine, I was ready to meet him!

Daddy & Son

 Big sister Sofia is in love!

My sweet Hazel is now the "middle" child.


Our first family picture. We tried to take so descent ones, but this was the best we got.




When Hazel first saw Ryker. She ran to him and kept saying "Kykoh! Kykoh!!"

 This picture was taken an hour after Ryker was born.





This picture was taken just seconds after he was born.

I probably won't go in detail with the birth story. I will just say it was fast and very painful. We got to the hospital around 12:30 am and Ryker was born at 2:25 am. Brian and I both cried when we saw our baby boy. It was very emotional. Now we're a family of 5. Crazy. But we wouldn't want it any other way.

Our favorite visitors!


 Sofia loves it when my grandma and aunt come to visit and so do I. My grandma spoiled me by making me my favorite meals. Hazel doesn't really know my grandma or aunt but she quickly got used to them and wanted to be held/loved by them.




Brigham & Hazel are best friends!







The end to a great cheer season.

Cheer came to an end. Sofia loved being a cheerleader. She wants to keep doing it!
CTA had their first competition May 3rd. They walked away with 1st place in jumps, 1st place in dance, and runner-ups in cheer. We knew that moving out to Queen Creek meant going to ALA. We found out ALA doesn't offer a cheer program for their elementary school.. Sofia has said a few times now she wants to stay at CTA to cheer.. it's a hard decision to make right now, but I know that in the end we will make the right one. Now enjoy pictures of my favorite cheerleader in the world!
