Rigden's First Birthday!

Rigden turned 1 this last weekend. We had two little birthday parties, went to a BBQ, a parade, and a rodeo. It was a fun and busy weekend. Rigden got spoiled rotten and he loved every minute of it!

MP3 Maniac

Rigden LOVES to dance so of course he LOVES music. He got a hold of my mom's MP3 player and wouldn't give it up. He was just cruising around the house like a little teenager, and when we would take it away from him he would have a fit!

My Two Part Post

PART I: Rigden is starting to walk. I love this picture because it looks like he has been walking for miles. Really it was just a few steps, then he fell and started crying. Call me a rude mom, but I had to snap the picture before going to his rescue.










Also in part I, Rigden rode his first calf! :)












PART II
Detective Benjamin Mittelstadt receiced his bomb technician certification at a city council chamber meeting. He is with the mayor, chief of police, and I think the other guy is the vice mayor. :)

Easter/Spring

We had a wonderful Easter weekend. Rigden got to hunt Easter eggs and see all the baby animals at the farm.
(P.S. Isn't my mom so cute!?!?!?)

First Day of Spring

We spent the first day of spring at the farm riding horses and getting dirty. How did you all spend the first day of spring this year?

Donkey Basketball

Ben and I took Rigden to watch the Donkey Basketball fundraiser at the High School. It was funny and very entertianing, but my favorite part was not when the 1 teacher got bucked off the donkey, it was not when several others simply fell off the donkeys, nor was it when two of the donkey's relieved themselves right there on the basketball court. Nope! My favorite part was this:

At half time Rigden got to go down and pet one of the donkey's. His face lit up and he knew just what to do!

Slinky!!!!

My friend Tresa gave Rigden a slinky and he LOVES it. He has been flinging that thing all over the place. It is so cute to watch. I tried taking pictures but they are kind of hard to see.
