Paxtons Blessing Day!

2009-09-14T17:37:00.001-07:00

Paxton finally got blessed on Sunday the 13th of sept. Rick, Cherri, and Devon flew in on the 9th, so we blessed him in our home because that was the only sunday they would be here and it was stake conferance. We had a lot of family and friends here and it was really nice to have a big enough space for everyone. Our new house is coming along and we love it. After the Blessing we had a little BBQ. Thanks to Rick and Dane for the great burgers. And to everyone who brought salads and drinks. We missed those of you that couldn't make it. Hope you can atleast enjoy the pictures.

Paxton is here and it has taken me a month to blog about it!

2009-06-28T23:10:00.000-07:00

Paxton James was born May 27, 2009. 4 days before our due date. He was 9 pounds 1 ounce and 20.5 inches long. It was a fast and easy delivery. 7 am had first contractions. 8:30 am check into the hospital. 9:45 am got epidural and then found out that we were at a 9. 10:55 am started pushing and 11:08 am he was born. It was so easy. The Dr couldn't believe that he was 9 pounds. He said I didn't look like I was carring a 9 pounder. He also said it was a text book delivery.

It put them on here wrong but,
the bottom he is 3 days
the next to bottom is one week and
the top three he is 2 weeks.

It had been awhile, I know..

Well, here is a list of things that are new with the Riner's.
*The car got fixed, from that dumb kid kicking it, March 16th, So we are all done with that drama.
*Dane's winter quarter is over, and although he passed all of his classes it
still didn't keep him high enough for the over all 3.0 to student teach
in the fall, so hope for winterquater. He did get two A-'s which we are really proud of.
*Amber made top 40 applicants at CBC for dental hygiene. Now we just wait till the 17th of April when they mail out the acceptance letters. Yakima will be mailing out theirs the same time too. We will definitely keep you updated on that.
* Amber has to take a online soc 101 class because her other one that she
already took doesn't count for CBC. So we are still in school this
quarter.AHHHHHHH. enough already.
* Amber is working 10-12 everyday now instead of 1-5 tues and thurs.
* We are going to start going to the Dr's every two weeks now.
* We, and I mean me, are done being pregnant. 31 weeks and lets just get to the end already.
* Taya is growing and learning everyday. She is so smart and cute as she
becomes older. I need to update a picture of her so I will soon. People
also want a fat picture of fat old me so we will see if that will
slip up on here or not. That is asking a lot of prego.

That is about all that is new with the Riner's I will be better at posting things. I think.... Love Dane, Amber, Taya, and Baby Paxton...that will be his name. So there, I told everyone.

2009-02-13T10:09:00.000-08:00

Well the new year as come and gone. Dane has started school again for the winter quarter and Taya and I hang out all the time. I am not going to school this quarter. I am done with CWU. yeah. I work Tuesday and Thursdays 1-5 and Taya goes with me and takes a nap on her Dora air mattress. We both have had our birthdays for the year. Dane tuned 26 on the 28th of Jan, and I turned 24 on Feb 2nd. We didn't do much. But it was great nonetheless. Dane got a new wedding ring for his birthday (if you missed that mess see previous post), and I got two willow tree figures or whatever they are called. I love them. They are on a shelf on my wall. We stay as busy as we can. Every Tuesday Taya and I go up to the church and play with all the kids and moms. The kids just run around and play and the moms get to chat with adults. Then we eat lunch. Every Wednesday, We go with Connor and Anna to the Library for Toddler story time and we check out books and movies. Wednesday nights Taya goes to Gymnastics with 3 of her friends, Jaylynn, Connor and Dallin. She really likes it and talks about it all week. I will get picts of her next week and post them. Tues and Thursday afternoons are taken up by work. Dane is at school most of the day till 2:30 or 3:30 depending on the day. He stays busy as well. Mon and Wed he goes and plays basketball will all the guys from the 3 different wards. Wednesdays he attends mutual with the Young Men. We still haven't got the car dent fixed but we have talked to the guy and we have options now so that is great. At least it is in the process now. Well keep you updated on that. Baby boy Riner is doing great. He moves like crazy and seems to be getting bigger because I am getting rounder. 25 weeks, 15 more to go. Well keep you updated soon. Sorry no picts. ~Amber

Brithday, Christmas, Car Update and Sex of Baby.

2009-01-27T14:30:00.000-08:00

I have been needing to get on here and get our blog updated but man where does the time go. First I wanted to put Taya's 2nd Birthday on here. She had a blast with her Dora theme. She really enjoyed all her presents and had a hard time leaving Christmas gifts wrapped because she thinks that if a gift is wrapped it is her birthday. lol
so cute. Next was Christmas we went home for a week with my family and then the 21st of Dec we drove to Utah to be with Dane's family and his sister also got married the 27th of Dec. It was a fun but busy week. We got to see the Howerton's on the way there and on the way back. It was good to see them and hang out for a little bit. We had to be home by the 30th because Dane's court date was the 31st. It didn't go as planned. I don't know all the legal words but we had to pay $200 for a bailout forfeiture and then $250 for an attorney fee even though it was suppose to be free. So so dumb but whatever move along right. Our car is still not fixed because we haven't heard back from the prosecuting attorney to see what the dumb kid has to do. This same day Dane tells me that he lost his wedding ring in Utah snowboarding . 6 days later he tells me. This was a very emotional day for the pregnant lady. I am getting all mad again just talking about it so next subject. On Jan 8th we had an appointment and ultrasound and our baby is going to be a boy. Yea we are excited to have one of each and my sisters baby Cade will have a buddy. We have a name picked out but I don't want to share it just yet. Maybe when we get a little closer to the due date. We are NOT going with Aden James although that is what his name was going to be before we actually new he was a boy, but we have different one that we are gong to name him. Enjoy the picts.
My sister Brandi married Robbie November 14, 2008.

Taya's 2nd birthday.

She hated santa last year, she was screaming in her picture, this year she loved him so much she kissed him. She actually kissed two different santas. We have come a long way in one year. Yea Taya!

Santa brought Taya a kitchen. Daddy got her a basketball hoop and Momma got her a Dora table and chairs. She loves them.

Christmas with my family on Dec 18th. Brandi had Taya this year and got her Dora blanket, dora shoes and dora jammies.

On Christmas eve we went to temple square and got to see all the light it was so pretty it was Taya's first time and I had never been there with the light up.

Making snow angels in Utah.

Taya's first time iceskating. She did so good for it being her first time and for her being 2.

Dane's sister Shea married Kyle Porter December 27th. Taya got two new uncle's in less than 6 weeks. Crazy.

I have been wanted to post this for a while now but i never got around to it. Imagin that. I took our old chairs and recovered them with pretty fabric and then plastic vinyl. They are way cuter if thats a word and so awesome with a toddler in our home. They can't get ruined and are an easy clean up.

15 weeks!

2008-12-11T15:30:00.000-08:00

Today we had an appointment with the doctor. We heard the heart beat, but is was very quiet. Both pregnancy we have had hard time hear heart beats when we were suppose to be able to. I think my uterus is very far back in my body cavity. Good golly babies quite scaring us. We have an appointment and an ultrasound Jan 8th to see what were having. My luck, we won't something will be in the way and we will have to wait. Lets hope not. Anyways I've been meaning to get Taya's birthday picts on here but the comp at work won't let me up load any more and when i am at home i always forget. I will try hard this weekend to get them on here. Hope every one has safe travels and a wonderful holiday season.

Court Day for Dane!

2008-11-18T10:38:00.000-08:00

So basically Dane sat in Court for 3 hours for them to tell him that he can have an attorney that we applied for and that he has a new court date of Dec 31st. Ahh I just want this to be over with. He pleaded not guilty so that it won't go on his record. The we have to talk with the attorney to get the guy to pay for it. We will keep you updated.

The lastest incident with the Riner's

2008-11-06T16:21:00.000-08:00

Ok this is a long story but I will try to make it short as possible. Monday morning Dane leaves to school a little early to print some things off. About 5 minutes after he leaves our neighbor knocks on our door and says" just letting know I saw Dane down the street on the side of the road arguing with two kids". I am like ok why is he yelling at some kids and not in the car going to school. So I call him and ask him what is going on, he asked me to get him the campus police number and then tells me that as he was already across the intersection and entering the opposite crosswalk he see to students get on the cross walk and as he is almost through the walk one kids takes a big hop and kicks the back end of our car. So Dane flips around in the car and gets out to talk to them. The kid was being a punk and wouldn't tell Dane he was sorry for kicking our car. Dane was going to leave it at that when a witness asked Dane if he knew that his car was damaged, Dane looks at the car and sees a dent then turns back and wants this guys name because he just dented our car. The kid wouldn't tell Dane is name, so Dane followed him to his class and called the cops. The police took the kid to jail with the charges of malicious vehicular mischief. The witness guys stayed with our car and gave the other cops the whole report and his statement, which was really nice of him. Dane got his number and we took him a gift card for helping Dane and missing most of his class. So to end this crazy story Dane has to go to court on the 17th of this month because he used disorderly conduct with the guy. He didn't hit him, he just grabbed his shirt because he would give him his information. So we hope that we don't have to pay a fine or have Dane go to jail which are option the judge could give him. We are hoping probation or at worst community service. We also hope that the guy will have to pay for the damage he caused to our, cute not ever a year old to us, car. Here are picts of the car. Hard to tell from the picts but there are lots of scratches from his boot where the dent is.

Baby Cade

2008-11-05T15:39:00.001-08:00

My sister had her baby on Monday, October 27th (her due date). They are home and doing well.

Halloween

2008-11-05T15:12:00.001-08:00

We carved pumpkins about a week too early because they started to shrink and mold, but we had fun notheless, and Taya really injoyed getting messing. She would eat the seeds too. Gross. Taya is in love with Dora so daddy carved her a dora on her little pumpkin. She loved turning the light on in them every night. Dane carved his pumpkin the night before halloween and i didn't get any picts of it. Sorry.

Our ward party was the saturday before Halloween. Taya went as a pumpkin and Dane and I were M and M's. It was fun, Dane and I got nomenated as best duo but we didn't win. O well we are not as cool as Dustin and Cassie. :)

On Hallween I took Taya down town with our friends Anna and Conner. Conner is Taya's buddy. They went store to store getting candy and they had a blast picking the candy they wanted. Taya mostly picked chocolate and Conner would pick suckers. Conner was a little monkey. The other kids in picture are Conner's cousins.

Finally picts of the new house

2008-11-05T14:33:00.000-08:00

Ok I know it's been a month since we moved but I have not been feeling o so great and also I do my blog stuff at work and I only work Wed, Thurs and some Friday's, so that limits my time and also the last few weeks that I have worked they gave me a bunch to do. So here are the before picts and I don't know if I can promise after picts because that means my whole house would have to be clean. Umm well see.

This was Taya's first nap in her new room as she calls it. She need a nap and I need to unpack but weren't getting our big things including her beduntill later that night. So she was a big girl for momma and took a nap on her floor with all her toys.

...

2008-10-16T14:31:00.000-07:00

Ok so we have to break the news. We are having another baby. Due May 31st. We are 8 weeks along and had our first Dr. visit last Tuesday. Our first ultrasound is this coming Tuesday. We will try to keep frequent post about our newest addition. Right now I feel a little sick but not more than expected hopefully in about 4 more weeks we will be good to go. I know I lied to a bunch of you but I had too. We wanted to wait till our first Appt. and then we had to tell our parents and then everyone else. So sorry about the lies. Any way that all I have for now.

This is what we did this Summer.

2008-10-03T15:30:00.000-07:00

Ok so now that it is October I better get these picts on here or I never will. I will try to tell you what is going on in each couple of pictures.
Dane drove tractor most of the summer and a few times Taya got to go out and ride with him. She loved it.

We also went to the Grant County Fair Friday and Saturday. Taya loves to play with toy animals but she won't touch a real one for the life of her. So we went and saw the cows and pigs and the sheep and rabbits and chickens. We didn't get to watch anyone show because Dane was working and I was still in school. They did great this year though.

Taya and I went the Adams County Fair with Katie and Kameron. We watched Kacey and Todd show. Grandpa also bought us some nice greasy fair food. umm.

One evening ShaNia was going to do Dane's feet, and Taya wanted to help. She had to have every tool that Shia was using. She is so copyish these days. Watch what you say. ahhh.

For Labor Day, we went up to Leavenworth for 4 days. We had blast just laying by the pool, going to the river, walking around the little shops and just hanging out with family. It was a nice little get away. The 2nd of Sept was Our 3rd year anniversary. After we got back from vacation we went and got massages, and Dane even surprised me with flowers. It is a big deal the first time in 3 years. The only other time was the day we got engaged. So that was sweet of him. I am not a flower type of girl but sometimes just the surprise is what i need.

After Dane stop working he had to do a 3 week pre autumn for a class that counts for his degree. He got assigned to the alternative school in Moses Lake, so we stayed at Sierra, Ivory and Brandi's house in Moses Lake. They live right by a neat little park and we went there a few times. Taya never wanted to leave even if it was getting dark and cold.

This is just a funny pict of Taya. She would hid in this make to do toy box at Sierra's house and it would entertain her for a long time. She was in it for so long I told her she should just take a nap in it and this is what I got. She did close her eyes but no nap. ha ha

Katie and Kameron came to visit a few times and Taya just had to always hold him and touch him. She is going to be a big help when she is a big sister.

We got to take a 5 generation picture with Taya's Great Great Grandma Orvanille. This was the first time GGGO got to see Taya so it was fun. She is my moms moms mom. Does that make sense. Her are bunch of picts that we took.

We got to see Katie, Cody, Brynley and Gage. It was only for a week but it was so fun.

Taya and Brynley back together again. Ya this second one was taken back in March 2007.

This is a sweet buck that Cody was 15 yards from and didn't shoot. Stupid lady. The buck was on her land, so cody asked if she could shot it and she said will if it is hurt again because it was hurt last season but is still around and sure enough it has like have a leg missing in the front but was not newly injured so Cody keep is word and didn't shoot it. But it was so sweet. Would have looked good on his wall.

So this was a long post to our short summer. But we had a blast and are now back at school in Ellensburg. However were are moving again. Just up the street again but it will be lest expensive so thats why we are moving again. Terrace Manor # 26 and yes for all of you who know jason and cindy that is they old apt. know its our. I will blog about it it here shortly until then take care. We love you all who read our blog. The Riner's

I know it's been awhile

2008-09-13T14:48:00.000-07:00

Sorry it has been awhile we have been on vacation and away from home since the middle of Aug. and boy we have stayed busy. This is a pict of us at Uncle Wayne's football game in Connell yesterday. Taya also adopted a stranger as her Papa Rick. She really called him Papa Ick. Ha ha. She played with him the whole game. I will get more on here when we get back to Eburg and get settled for school.

Congratulations!

2008-08-14T21:59:00.000-07:00

My sister Brandi got engaged on Tuesday the 12th to Robbie Waites, William Robert Waites to be exact. I am so excited for them and wish them the best of happiness. They are playing for mid November after volleyball season. She is playing volleyball at BBCC this year and I am playing against her in an alumni game this upcoming Friday. Bring it on JOEY. Just wanted to post a congrats to the engaged couple. Yeah. Love you both Robbie and Brandi

What an AWESOME Husband and Father!

2008-08-12T12:37:00.000-07:00

This blog is express to all who read, how much Taya and I appreciate Dane and his hard work. First and for most he had a grueling 16 credit summer quarter. 5 classes in 6 weeks is tough and lots of work in a short amount of time. He did awesome. The best GPA quarter her at CWU. 2- A's, 2-A-'s and 1-B. 3.61 GPA for the quarter. Dane you worked so hard and did great job in getting alot of your classes out of the way. Nice work. Second, the very next week after school was done, Dane started working in warden for wheat harvest. 12 hour days sometime more. He is making a ton of money for us to save but sacrificing his summer break. The end of August he will then have to start going to school in Moses Lake for a class this fall that requires 3 weeks in a class room. He is assigned to the secondary school in Moses Lake out on the Base. Then right back to Ellensburg to start school. He is a great guy who loves he family so much. He works hard for his family and without complaint. Taya and I are truly blessed to have Dane as the head of our household. He is just amazing. We love you Dane, and just wanted everyone else to know how GREAT you are.

Taya the Joker!

2008-08-01T13:54:00.000-07:00

Hello, it has been a few weeks since the last post but I have been so busy with school. I had two test this last week. (Wed and Fri) and I have 2 more weeks and then I am done with summer school. Dane is done with his class and has been working for a week already for Ben Leavitt during wheat harvest. Taya has been with Ivory, Brandi, Kacey or ShaNia durning the day in Warden. So that leaves me in Ellensburg all by my self. These are some cute picts I have been needing to post for awhile. We went to the midnight show of Dark Night with some friends of ours. ShaNia stayed with Taya. Anyways the next day we were packing and moving and Taya had a lot of red juice to drink, which made her look like the joker. She looked so funny, but cute. She also thinks it is so neat to put on momma's shoes and walk around. The rest of the pictures are of Taya's new favorite place AKA our back yard. In our new apts, they have a play area and it just so happends to be right behind our apt. It is so much fun for Taya and us too. She still has to be tricked into going off the big slide by herself. But she is learning. Enjoy-

The big move and Taya Swimming.

2008-07-17T12:11:00.000-07:00

Ok So the first class of mine is done. I took my last test this morning. Only 4 more weeks of A and P II. People in Ellensburg have been asking us where we are moving. So.... Alder Terrace Apt. #39. Come visit. ha ha. Here are some pictures of a swimming day. The little thing that Taya is wearing is so cool. We recommend it. She just goes anywhere by herself. So much fun. We spend most of our time in the deep end and we don't have to touch her at all. She just kicks her feet and swims along. Enjoy`

The Riner's are moving!

2008-07-16T12:33:00.000-07:00

Just a quick note. We are moving this Friday. Just over a few streets to a two bedroom apt. We are excited to move actually and we usually aren't. I will up date more later. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday. With moving and school and family, I don't have time to breathe.

4th of July Weekend!

2008-07-09T12:04:00.000-07:00

We did a lot on the 4th of July weekend. We took a ton of picts and I just have to post them all because they are so cute and we had so much fun. On Friday we headed to Cheney to hang out with Roger and Ashley Mar. They have two babies, Ethan and Aliana. My sister's, Brandi and Ivory went too and Ashley's brother Rob who is also Brandi's boyfriend. Other people in our pictures are Chris who lives with Ash and Roger and Corban, friend of Rob, Brandi and Ivory. Friday night we went into Spokane to watch fireworks at River Front Square Park. Then Saturday we went up to my Gma & Gpa's cabin just north of Spokane. We also did some fireworks off of the doc sat. night. They were little but still fun. We took Taya down to the lake and also out on a canoe ride. Brandi also cut her heel while we were there and had to take her to urgent care in Deer Park about 20 min. away from cabin. She had to get 10 stitches, and Rob fainted at stitch 7. Crazy. Then Sunday we headed back for home stopping by Warden on the way. Now back to school. I have one week till my first class is done and then 4 more weeks of A & P II and Dane has one week of classes left and then finals week. So almost done. Crazy it goes by fast but nice to be done so quickly. Enjoy our pictures of our adventures.

OK! HERE IS WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON THE LAST FEW WEEKS!

2008-07-02T11:52:00.000-07:00

We have been very busy but some people (by some I mean Dustin Arbogast) have been bugging me to update my blog. So here goes. A week ago Taya was palying in a diaper box and when she tried to get out the flaps of the lid are too high for her short little leg to get over and she fell face first into the metal leg of the table chair. First bloody nose and first really bad fat lip. She was a champ though. She didn't even cry that bad.

Next big thing is I cut my hair. With everything going on I needed some change and something new and fun and different. This is how it turned out. Sad thing is i was going to give my hair to locks of love but i left it on the back of the table and lil miss Taya got up there and made a big nest of hair out of it. Not the end of the world, but I will just have to wait another 2 years to grow it out, cut it off and then donated it before Taya gets it. Ha ha

We got Dane a new guitar. Just new to him. He likes it way better then his little one he used to use, which is now Taya's and she just loves to pluck at it when Daddy is playing his. She is so cute she touches Danes and says no no Daddy's then points to her's and says Taya's.

I don't know where Dane got these teeth. They are funny but so gross. Anyway I was checking pictures out on the camera and found these. I asked Dane about it and he said oh ya she saw me doing it and wanted to put them in. They are kinda of big, i don't even know how she got them in her little mouth. Sick!

This is cute too. I came home from work at 1:30 and went to check on Taya to see if she was asleep yet, this is what I found. Taya asleep in bed and Dane asleep on the floor. So sweet.

A different day i went to check on her durning her nap and she hadn't fell asleep yet, but it was because she was busy putting this plastic egg over her eyes. She is so crazy.

Last but not least, Yesterday Taya, ShaNia, and I went outside to wash the cars. Taya had a great time and enjoyed getting her feet muddy. She was so mad when we made her go inside.

We have also been going to the school pool alot. It is huge and usually not very many people are there. We have loads of fun and it keeps us out of our hot house for a while. I always forget to take my camera so i will try to remember and get some picts on here. Dustin I hope this will keep you satisfied for a week or so. :) ha ha. I really just like giving you a bad time for you giving me a bad time.

Yes! So far so good!

2008-06-30T12:30:00.000-07:00

Wow. Starting my 3rd week of classes. I have had one lab exam and only missed one point (47 out of 48) and Friday was our first lecture exam (mid-term) and I got a 95.6 %. I only missed 2.5 point. I just found out after class (10:20) and I am still so jumpy and excited for myself. I am not trying to brag, it is just that it is a lot of information in a little amount of time and I was stressing about it all week. So I studied hard and wanted to do well and I did, and it feels so great. What a sigh of relief. Well I just wanted to share with everyone. Yeah for me. ha ha

What we have been up too.

2008-06-23T12:16:00.001-07:00

So It has been a few weeks since I have posted anything. It has been kinda of crazy around our house. Dane and I are both going to summer school, which will be over quick but will take a lot of our time. Dane has 5 classes (16 credits), and he says he fells like he is in high school again because he is gone almost all day from 7:30 am to 3:30 some days 4 pm. Dane is also going to umpire a few games here and there for some extra money. Yea. I am taking 2 classes each 5 credits but I take one for 4 weeks and then the other for 4 weeks after the first one. A&P I and II. Lots of material lots of time in class. I am gone from 9 am to 4:30 pm. I have class till 10:20 then I work till 1:30 and then go back to class from 2 to 4:30. It is crazy i know. So far still have an A. Yes. one lab practical down and 1 to go along with 2 lecture exams. Ahh so after all that you are all wandering about miss Taya. What are you doing with her? So ShaNia or Aunt ShaNia my littlest sister is staying with us for the summer, well at least 6 weeks until Dane is done, and taking care of Taya along with another little boy of my friends, Brayden. She does a great job and Taya as always loved her. And Brayden is starting to realize that she is pretty cool as well. She is a great help for us while we are doing this rigorous summer school. We have one week down and 5 to go for dane and 7 for me. We can do it. Just letting everyone know what we have been up to. I will post so picts after I get a minute to breathe.

Taya and Emma

2008-06-12T09:45:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, Taya fell asleep for her nap with her favorite book on her head. It was so cute when we checked on her, we just had to take pictures. Also, last night Taya had her first sleep over with Emma Erickson. They had a blast. This morning Taya was so excited that Emma was there and they were hugging and playing ring around the rosies. They had breakfast together and it was fun. The sad thing it that Emma and her family are moving away from us this Saturday. They are only moving to Othello but we are so going to miss all of them. Cindy is a blast to hang out with and a awesome person. Jason is great as well. Taya loves to play with Emma, Paul, Ben, and Claire are she is so going to miss them. We wish them well. They will only be about 12 miles from my moms house so that is great news. Here are some picts of Taya and Emma playing this morning. Enjoy~

Carson Jay Marshall!

2008-06-11T10:19:00.000-07:00

My uncle Al and aunt Sadie had another baby in the end of May. Carson Jay. He is so cute. Here are some picts. Waylon is 10 days older than Taya and they played so well together. Brooklyn came over to Al's house to play with Taya and Waylon. She is just 2 months older than Tay and Way. Ha Ha that sounds cool. We call Taya- Tay and they call Waylon- Way. We all had a great time just hanging out with family and friends and the new baby. The kids had fun playing together as well.

They were hugging and kissing each other. It was so cute.

See Taya and I look good with a baby in our arms. huh. Taya thinks we need one. I think she is right.

Fun Times

2008-05-23T16:27:00.000-07:00

Taya thought it was funny to stand over the vent at Great Grandmas house. Her dress would fly up and she would laugh. She look like a baby Marilyn Monroe. Cute.

Her new potty chair that fits inside the big toilet. She loves it. It is a baseball seat.

This is Taya's new swim suit. It has cherry's on it. She looks so cute in it and loves to go in our back yard and get wet in her little pool.

Taya and daddy were looking at the stream by our house and then he acted like he was going to tip her in. It was so cute. She would say "no no daddy" really quick hoping she wouldn't really be thrown in.

Time for some pictures!

2008-05-23T16:14:00.000-07:00

Taya grandma and grandpa Riner came for 5 days in April to see us. They went to the park and took cute pictures. Taya also had a blast watching her daddy's games.

Taya's a Big Girl!

2008-05-14T10:33:00.000-07:00

Just want to let everyone know that Taya has went potting in the toilet every morning for the past 3 mornings. Yeah Taya. She got to pick out a little seat that set on the toilet so she won't fall in. It is a baseball design and she loves it. She is saying 3 and 4 word phases know. The new on this morning was " NO I'na eat". (I want to eat). She is getting so big.
Thanks for letting us share. Go TAYA GO

It has been awhile:( Sorry

2008-05-13T11:32:00.001-07:00

Hey, Everyone sorry it has been a few weeks without a post. Time is going by so fast and it seems like I can't keep up. These last few weeks have been great. Rick, Cherri, and Devon (Dane's parents and brother) were here the end of April. It was fun to see them and spend time with them. Very sad to see them leave. They were here for Dane's last few home games, and for his Senior game when they recognize all the seniors. One game he hit 4 for 5 and another 3 for 3. Nice work. Last 2 weekend Dane has been gone to games in MT and then ID and now baseball is over. He got to spend mothers day with us, which was fun. I am so thankful for my family and especially Dane and Taya. They mean so much to me and I love them very much. We have 3 more weeks of school before we get a week off and then summer school starts. Dane has 4 classes and I have 2. Dane is doing a 6 week course and each one of my classes is about a month long, so it will be crazy. Lots of work in short amount of time. We can do it. I am still on the alternate list for the Dental Hygiene program in Yakima, so hopefully I get a call soon saying "your in"! Pray for my:( anyway that is all that is really new in the Riner household. I will post some new picts here in a few days. Stay tuned.

Wet-n-wild weekend!

2008-04-22T09:20:00.000-07:00

Ok so here's what happened this weekend. Dane had two games on Sat and two on Sunday. Sat we got there late because we were letting Taya finish her nap. Right as we get there it starts to snow. The game is tied 7 to 7 and we had only been there 5 minutes when one of our players #8 (I only know the guys buy there numbers, I probably seem them on campus all the time and don't even know there are on the baseball team with Dane, sad huh) anyway #8 blast a 3 run home-run in the bottom of the ninth to win the game for the Wildcats. Yeah. So then with in 5 more minutes the snow was coming down so fast that we had to leave and Dane said they might cancel the next game. We went home and about 30 minutes later Dane shows up so there was no second game. Sunday we were bad and skipped church, shame on gma and me. Dane's game started at 10 am so we got there at 10:30. It was crazy weather again. It was sunny and nice and warm for 30 min then would snow (not as bad as sat), then the sun would come out again then the sun would still be out and it would blow snow around. The wind didn't blow hard as it usually does but when it did blow a little it blew in every direction. The crazy thing about the snow was it look like little foam balls, like the ones in bean bags. It even felt like them would you would pinch it with your fingers. It didn't even feel cold, just wet after it melted. It was the craziest thing I seen in a while. We made it though sunday without too much trouble. Taya enjoyed playing with the Levin's family dog, Ali. She also didn't like the snow to get on us or the blanket we had on us. She would say no snow, which sounds a little like no no but you can tell she is say snow. She is so cute and learns so much daily. I can't believe how smart she is.

K- enough with baseball. On Sat I got some mail but did know it was there tell monday. Anyway it was a letter from Yakima about the Dental Hygiene program. I am on the alternate list, which means if anyone that was accepted in the program doesn't want their spot then they go to the alternate list. I don't know what position on the list I am but i hope it is like top five for me to even have a chance this year. So hope all goes well and that I get a call in a month or so.

Something fun to Blog about!! Yea!

2008-04-11T10:35:00.000-07:00

Friday, after Dane's game, Gma wanted to go out to eat, so we tried the Ellensburg Pasta Co. but they were too busy. We went to the Rodeo City BBQ instead. It was ok, Dane reminded me to remind him that he doesn't like it and to not go there again, only because he is use to Memphis BBQ, which I agree nothing compares. Taya was playing peek boo while we finished eating. Todd was with us for his spring break and Ali came with gma for the games. Thanks Gma for coming up and for Dinner.

Saturday, The Mar's came down. Ashley, Roger, Ethan, and Aliana. Ashley is Ben's sister and Ben is Ivory, my sister's, Boyfriend. Wow Anyway Dane and I knew Ashley and Roger from singles ward in Moses Lake as well. Their son Ethan is 3 weeks older than Taya, and have had a few play dates and love playing together. We went out to eat Saturday night at the Pasta Co. and then they stayed the night and watched conference with us on Sunday. It was fun to just relax and hang out with friends and family Sierra and Ivory and Kacey). Ethan and Taya play well together. I was putting the bassinet together for Aliana, Taya and Eathen decided they wanted in it.

On a spur of the moment decision friday night we bought rock band for our ps2. We all enjoyed playing it over the weekend. Taya loves it. She likes to play the drums and here are some picts of her singing on the mic. It is so funny how kids learn and copy adults. A few weeks ago she was watching daddy play guitar hero and she gets to play with one of the controllers that is not hooked up while dad play the guitar. So he set it down to run and get a drink and he came back and Taya had the guitar trap over her neck and clicking away like daddy does. It was so cute. Here are some picts her with the guitar as well.

Baseball

2008-04-11T09:51:00.000-07:00

Anyone who views our blog probably thinks we are a boring family. All we do is school and baseball and fun stuff with Taya. So all we blog about is Taya and Baseball. Sorry but that is all we really do. I guess we do more but I just don't blog about it or take pictures. Anyways hope we don't really bore you but if we are we won't be mad if you stop viewing our blog. So here is the boring part. Taya and I watched a weekend of Daddy's games again. They won 3 out of 4. Dane played every minute, which was great because he hadn't been. He usually plays in the outfield, left field, but this weekend he played second base. It was fun to watch him in the infield because that is were is has always played before we came to Central. He got a double in the first game, which he hit two pitches after he almost hit a homerun. It was about a foot short of being fair and a foot short of going over, then two pitches later slams one to the left center wall. Great job Daddy. There team is doing great and are first in their conference. Just a few more weekends and then depending on if they make the playoff they may play till the end of May. Other exciting news it that Dane's parents are coming the 25th of April till the 30th. They well be able to watch him play and be there for him on his Senior game. Taya is so excited to see them again instead of only the web cam. These pictures are of Dane's games and Taya, while daddy runs around bases and slides in the dirt, Taya run around and plays in the rocks. She like going to daddy's games. She plays with her friend Jaelyn Shoemaker.

Easter Egg Hunt.

2008-04-11T09:43:00.000-07:00

We didn't do an egg hunt on Easter because by the time Daddy got done with his game and showered, it was almost dark and we all had had a long day. So Monday night Dane went and hid eggs for Taya to find. She did so well. I didn't know what she would think but she did great. We would tell her to try and find an egg and then to put it into her basket. She had so much fun. Here a few pictures of Taya's First EGG HUNT.

This is my husband...and my little girl!

2008-03-31T10:54:00.001-07:00

Taya helped gma and momma by carrying her own chair to daddy's game. she look so cute doing it.

Nice catch. Dane can catch the ball behind his back. This wasn't really a catch during the game just warming up in-between innings. Pretty cool though.

While daddy plays baseball, Taya play with rocks and sucks on one or two occasionally.

Dane is so Musical haha

And Taya too. She loves to make noise.

I asked her were the dog was and this is what she did. I don't know.

The two most important people in my life. Daddy was sleeping and Taya wanted him so I set her by him and she thought it was cool to lay with daddy while he was sleeping. Cute little bug.

Happy Easter!

2008-03-24T16:21:00.000-07:00

Taya was only four months old last Easter. I can't believe how fast time can fly and now she is almost 16 months and a toddler not a baby. SAD! She really enjoyed her basket and her cute new dress, but she really loved dying the eggs. She would stir them and put them in the cup then take them out without using the spoon. It was fun to watch her enjoy Easter! ~Enjoy

These are picts from last year. I can't believe that she was 4 months a year ago. Time really flys. I need another baby.

A visit to Nannie's!

2008-03-24T11:46:00.000-07:00

For a few days on our spring break we went to stay with Nannie (Dane's Gma). We had a good time just visiting and relaxing, unfortunately Taya and Amber got sick. Not to bad but we still don't feel real well. Anyway here is what we did.

Yeah Taya!

2008-03-18T18:08:00.000-07:00

This morning Taya went potty in her potty chair. She knows what it is and what it is for but until this morning never knew what went in it. She tells us right afters she pees or poos. She grabs her diaper and says poop or pee which ever she did. When she poos she waves her hand in front of her nose and says peww. We are now tring to get her to tell us before she goes that we can make it to the potty, but we will just start our slow and on her time. She thinks it is so cool right now and gets so excited when we talk about her potty chair. Just thought I would share our news. Good job Tay Tay!

This pict is about a week later but she just thinks that potty is so much fun. It is so cute.

More pictures of our Beautiful Girl!

Taya Riner

2008-03-13T11:04:00.000-07:00

Taya has been growing and learning so much lately. We made a list in Feb. of all the word she can say it was like 60+ and now that is a bit older she is adding to it. Her new words lately are basketball, elbow, and knee. She knows most of her body parts. She and daddy learn a new one every week, sometimes two because she is so quick in learning them. She knows where her eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, teeth, ears, hair, chin, elbow, knee and bum are. This last month she will go get us a diaper when we tell her to and sometimes she goes and gets one and tries to put it on her baby. She is 24 lbs and 7oz and 30 and 3/4 inches. almost 31 in. The doctor said she is the most advanced 15 month old she as ever seen. When we went to the DR. she was showing her where her elbow was and then got down and walked over to the doctor and pointed to the doctors elbow and said Elbow? Anyway I thought I would share some new things. Enjoy~
Taya and her friend Brooklyn from Idaho. They are 2 months a part.

Running at Daddy's baseball game. She love anything that involves going outside. She doesn't care how cold it is.

She goes around shooting us with the handle of her broken toy gun. She says boom.

Playing in the fridge. She thought she could close herself in but she couldn't.

Eating a Popsicle

We stuck this bullet on her head she thought it was cool.

I got a good smile this time.

She was eating her sandwich and then she decided she would try to fit herself in this container. She was so cute trying to keep her legs in there.

Our Family Walk at the Park!

2008-03-13T09:31:00.000-07:00

Pictures from our walk yesterday. We had so much fun. Taya was running and pointing to the birds and waving to all the people we saw. She loves to go to the park and play. The picture second from the bottom, she is spitting because her dad does it. Every time he would spit, she would stop and spit too. It is gross but cute at the same time. She copies everything we do.

Happy Birthday Grandma Cherri!

2008-03-12T19:43:00.000-07:00

Grandma I love you. Can't wait until you are here in April. I love you. Hope you had a great day. Love Taya.
P.S. Remember this?

Taya's First Hair Cut!

2008-03-12T11:49:00.001-07:00

I cut her bangs just a little bit at then end of January, but they were on my sisters camera so it has taken me a while to get them posted. It was hard to get her to hold still but then she thought she was pretty cool when I showed her the hair and she looked in the mirror. It was amazing too because it only took me two pictures to get this smile. It usually takes like 10 and then sometimes I still don't get a smile. See smiles but she just won't look at the camera and I move to be in front of her and then she moves her head. It looks her bangs aren't cute straight but they are. She has a bit of a cowlick and they were wet. This picture is cute and I love it. Enjoy~

Dane's Senior Year of Baseball at CWU!

2008-03-12T10:41:00.000-07:00

Taya loves going to the games and loves to clap and cheer for Daddy. She shakes the fence and yells gooooo Daddy! It is so cute. I love watching her grow and learn. She is so smart and funny.

Dane on base. Yeah base runners. His on base percentage is like just under .500. That is good.

Taya and her Daddy. She loves him so much. He taught her where her elbow is and she points to everyone's elbow and says elbow. So smart so cute.

A hit for Riner.

Our baseball player!

These are the picts we got taken of Taya when she was one. I mean she still is one but here are her one year old picts. Anyway I think they turned out great. She had some bigger smiles that the lady didn't catch but I think its ok because sometimes when she smiles really big her eyes are squinty. I have copies for family, i just need to send them. I have quite a bit of the first one in a wallet size so if you want one just let me know. Hope you enjoy our beautiful baby.

Tay's New Toy

2008-02-12T11:46:00.000-08:00

This is one of Taya's new toys. She love putting the balls in the month and then she watches them go down and gets them out of the feet as quickly as she can. It is so cute to watch her grow and explore. She is truly a blessing and a joy in our lives. We love her so much.

Little Tay Tay is sick! Again

2008-02-12T11:05:00.000-08:00

Just thought i would share are not so fun week, and once again starting another one. Last monday the 4th, Taya starting feeling not so good and by Wed it wasn't better. So we took her to the doctor thursday and they said she had a virus called foot hand and mouth. anyway Friday was better and over the weekend she was back to normal Taya. Monday we come home again from warden and around 6pm monday she is puking and we can't keep water or pedialyte down. so we had a long night and talked to a doctor and we were told to give her a teaspoon of pedialyte every 5 min. because she was asking for her bottle or something to drink. she wanted more than a teaspoon and she would say "peas peas mama peas". it was so sad but cute. too. she knows that she has to say it but i couldn't give it too her. were got a few hours of sleep and she seems to be doing better this morning. We will see how the rest of today goes and the week. She also is passing bile into her diaper. it smells so bad and burns her skin so bad, but what makes it worse is she still has a little yeast infection from last week. So pray for Taya to feel better. I don't know how much more this little girl can take or me for that matter. It kills me to not be able to fix what is wrong with her. If these viruses don't leave us alone, we will all be dead by friday. jk but still my goodness. anyways just thought I would update.

Taya Marie

2008-02-11T11:22:00.000-08:00

Taya LOVES the snow. She licked her

snowman and the other day she was picking

it up and eating it. She is so crazy but cute

and so much fun. Here are her snow

adventures.

Taya and her Daddy. Nice Tay.

Taya's first Birthday!

2008-01-12T13:11:00.000-08:00

Taya turned 1 on Dec 1st. We had a party for

her at her grandpa and grandma kisler's house.

There was so many people there just for this

little one year old. It was so great to see everyone

there. Her birthday theme was Elmo. She loves

Elmo and all the rest of the gang as well. She

loved being the center of the show and enjoyed

distroying her cake. She loved to make a mess

and get away with it.

Her cakes!

Cute little Birthday Girl.

She is a mess but she didn't get the

worst of it...

...the cake did. Nice work Taya. She just dug

right in and never looked back. It was so fun

to watch.

Getting all cleaned up!

After she was all clean she got some kisses

from her Great-Grandpa Smokey.

Her favorite things!

2007-12-29T21:18:00.000-08:00

This is her favorite thing to do and she

will do it for as long as we will let her.

If she sees us brushing our teeth she has

to do it or she throws a fit. So funny!

Good habit I guess!

Still doing it.

She loves to go outside now matter how

cold it is.

She throws really good and learned how

to in Memphis this December!

and goes to the door saying please, please. It is so

cute.

All Thats New!!

2007-12-29T11:19:00.000-08:00

Haven't updates this is a while but we have been busy at school in Ellensburg. Taya had her first Halloween and was a cute little lady bug. Then we went to Memphis from the 8th to the 20th of December. Then to Warden for christmas. Taya had a great time and got lots of cool new stuff. The 26th we headed for Montana to see our friends that left us from Ellensburg. They just had a new baby boy, Gage James, he is so cute and doing good. just a little bit of jaundice. We are headed back to Warden, then to Ellensburg to start a new quarter on the 4th. Well that about all that is new. Taya has four teeth and her hair is growing longer. she talks alot. and signs a few things. she is very smart and does things a 15 month old does. says the Doctor.
