911 tape reveals how woman led police to accused rapist

I'm proud to work with some of the best dispatchers around. Great job listening to your instincts and getting help to someone that needed it.

Woman uses fake phone call to get help following alleged rape

The Hat

Today is Ryder is 3 months old and I can't believe how much my life has changed for the better. I am back at work now, which is different and the same all at once. I do miss Ryder during my shifts, but thankfully I really love my job and it normally stays busy enough I don't have time to miss him too much. But when I get off  I love how Ryder just can't take his eyes off of me when I pick him up at grandma's and he just smiles and giggles the whole time.

I think its great and sad at the same time that Jasper has turned his loyalties over to Ryder instead of me. When Ryder and I come home from the store or wherever we happen to go with out him, Jasper won't even greet me until he sees and sniffs Ryder first to make sure he's okay.

And now for the title of this post, " The Hat" .. Ryder is now in the double digits with weight (a whole TEN pounds), I know it doesn't seem like alot, but he's almost doubled his birth weight. The pictures below really show his growth, here's Ryder in his little newsie hat ...

Ryder at about 1 month (NO FLASH MOM...GEEZ)

And at 2 months

And this is Ryder now at 3 months. See I told ya he's grown!

YAY!! He's finally growing into it, and yes he likes it. A good thing too since I thought the hat was so cute I bought the same one in 3 different sizes so he can still be a cute newsie even as he grows bigger :)

The Blessing

Ryder was blessed by his Grandpa Willden on April 11, 2010. His uncle Mike, great-uncle Randy, Bishop Wernli and Mark Christiansen all participated. It was such a sweet experience hearing my dad give my son a blessing. I had a mini-flashback to when he gave my oldest nephew his when he was Ryder's age. I can't believe it's been almost 18 years since that happened. Colby has grown up to be such a great guy, I'm glad Ryder has someone like him & all those that participated in the blessing  to look up to.

 I forgot to take pictures of the family luncheon after church but here are some pictures of Ryder in his blessing outfit.

His Elvis lip curl... he seems to do this when he's annoyed :)
