I finally figured out who Ryker looks like in this picture.

A Simple Request
Rock and Ryker were chilling on the couch while unsupervised and were watching the Canucks-Kings game.
Ryker gently cleared his throat and quietly said "Hey Rock, do you love me?"
"Well, of course I do baby brother. Here, I'll show you."
Ryker shifted uncomfortably on the couch. "Um, I appreciate that. I really do."
"But I need a favor, but it might be a little weird. Do you promise not to be too surprised?"
"Anything, brother. Just whisper what you need." Ryker leaned over to Rock and whispered his simple request into Rock's ear. Rock was fairly surprised.
Finally, Rock decided to help his little brother with his need. What kind of little boy would let his little brother go hungry?

Rock's Career Takes Off
Rock's male modeling career has really taken off! He decided to do a shoot for Pull-Ups brand diapers (kind of like a child version of Depends, if that helps clarify), even if they didn't happen to hire him yet. But, after seeing these pics they will. Oh yes, soon they will. Rock's first pose was the playful teasing look. A classic winner with the ladies.
Next was the 'Uh oh, guess what I didn't in my easily pull-downable diapers!" look. Less effective with the ladies, because ladies don't really like a man that goes "Oops, I crapped my pants" on a date. They are silly like that.
"Oh yeah, I'm that adorable. Drink it in people, drink it all in"
The Warhawk pose. Cool, confident but deadly, especially if you are a field mouse.
The "Oh, I didn't see you there. I was just laying here looking cute in my Cars themed underpants"
The Karate Kick.
Part of being a quality model is knowing when to let the people get a good view of the whole product.
The Big Chill.
Happy Face!!
Ryker tries so hard to keep up with Rock, but he just can't do it yet. This is his best effort at posing for pictures. Not bad, but he does have a bit to go before he is "Oops, I Crapped My Pants" ready.
In other news, I may not be the best son, but at least I never did this:

It's About Stinkin' Time!
Both of them. The same time. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't taken the pictures myself.

Rock Skiing, Ryker's Blessing and Moving
This was the second and last week that I lived in Renton, while my family stayed and played in Oregon. Derek and Lindsey took Rock up to Mt. Ashland to enjoy the sun and snow. Rock really liked the chairlift, and wasn't afraid to fall since he was one giant coat marshmallow.
Rock kept trying to take off down the hill and race, but Derek held him under wraps.
After a while Derek got bored of propelling himself down the hill, so he turned Rock into his little husky.
Rock really liked skiing, so now he's trying to convince Derek to come up to Renton and visit all the sweet Washington ski hills, like Steven's Pass, Mt. Baker or Whistler...oh wait..
Lindsey and Rock both rocked the shades, but Rock was having trouble with his hat.
Meanwhile, back at the house, Rock and Ryker continued to bond while Rock poked Ryker in the back of the throat.
Rissa came to visit, and took quite possibly the cutest picture in the history of photography.
Rock learned how to pose for pictures, and 'made' DeA take lots of pictures of herself. Yup, he made her, since she doesn't like to take pictures of herself.
They even let Ryker in on the fun, but he didn't pose as well.
DeA and the boys stayed some of the nights with DeA's family, and Rock loved munching Mawma Zista's yummy food.
It was so good that he thought he was flying like an airplane. Wait...those were the brownies that Mawma bought at the new bakery in Ashland...
Friday night after work I set off to retrieve my family from Central Point. My Mom and Dad were ahead of me, and would call to check up on me every once in a while. On one of the calls Dad asked what time I was going to be there, and I said 1:30. He responded "Oh good, that's what time the kids get in...uh...to Sherry's in Utah...um...yeah, Sherry's." So I texted Nick to ask what his plans were that night, and he didn't know anything about Sherry, so I used my super-awesome deductive powers to deduce that some of my siblings were coming.
The girls didn't let Nick know that he was going to have to help us move, and he let us know that he might not have made the trip if he knew he was going to be moving couches. At least he had some good help.
Rock helped move so much stuff that he got a little warm and sweaty. The sweat was just wet and sticky enough to let the girls have some fun with his hair.
Sunday was another big day, since it was the day that we blessed lil' Ryker. He didn't like having to dress up in tight and dressy clothes, but he put on his best show.
Some poets have suggested that our lives are like well crafted novels, with chapters and headings and a table of contents. If that is true, then here we are saying goodbye to our dear home in Central Point, and closing this Oregon chapter in our lives.
Also, if our lives were a novel, this chapter would be kind of like that short chapter where you think that the author kind of just phoned in, you know, like he had to have so many chapters written by some deadline and he was watching football all weekend, and so kind of wrote a short chapter since he didn't think he had to worry about a page count. Get it? Because this was a short chapter in our lives. Get it now?

Lonely in Renton
I've been living up in Renton for about a week now while R, R and DeA hang out in Oregon. Our internet was finally hooked up yesterday, and to keep the fans happy I found some pictures on my phone (or, you can all call DeA tomorrow and ask her to post some pictures, since her and boys are the only things people come here to see). Rock is helping Derek get the garden and flower beds ready for the summer. Rock ended up teaching him how to attach the PTO shaft on the tiller.
DeA has been reporting that lil' Rock and Ryker are both eating like champs. Due to her 'boundaries' and 'morals' she won't let me post pictures of Ryker eating, so here's one of Rock.
"Uh oh, got some on my shoe. I'll just go ahead and lick that off..."
