Paxtons Blessing Day!

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.

Familys are Forever.

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

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.

Getting Older and Fast!

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.

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!

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!

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

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

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

Halloween

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.
