This summer has been very busy as you will see with a TON of pictures. We have gone back to Washington D.C. again. We went in March and then again in June for weddings while we were there the 2nd time we decided to make a trip out of it so we went and walked and walked and walked and walked around Washington D.C. You have to walk everywhere Sean and I both felt like we lost 10 LBS after but it was worth it we saw so many awesome things. Ryler was such a good boy he just sat in his stroller and didn't make a peep I think he just thought it was a really long walk. He loved it. Chris and Alisons wedding was so good and they are doing good being newly married My cousin Nicole got married also and I am so glad for her she found a really good guy and her wedding was beautiful. I got to see a lot of family and friends and that was fun. Lataya also had her baby shower and it was fun getting to see my friends that I haven't seen for a really long time. It was good seeing them. We have been to the zoo and to chucky cheese for Rylers first time and he loved them both. We have a lot of baseball and softball games and tournaments which keep us busy and on top of that all we partied for the 4th we unbelievably got tickets to the stadium of fire the day of and we had a blast it was so fun I loved Carey underwoods concert but the jets that fly over is my favorite. Talk about getting the chills. Before that we went to two parades caught a bunch of candy like everyone does in Moroni and Mt. pleasant Parades. We had BBQs and went to the Provo Parade which I had never been to before it was really fun and long. The floats and marching bands are awesome in it. I would definitely go again. So we have been having a really fun summer and it is not over we have a Yellowstone trip next week so we are excited for that and whatever else comes along for the rest of the summer.

We're still here don't worry

Yes we are still alive. We've just been hanging around. Some things that we've been up to are Seans softball games that get rained out every week. We have a garden I can't wait til we get to eat all of the yummy things we planted. It just sucks keeping it weeded. Ryler is getting big and he is walking everywhere and getting into everything. We just went to Virginia in March for Seans sisters wedding it was really nice and we had a good time other than we all got sick. We are now going again June 15 for Seans brothers wedding. I also am learning how to do eyelash extensions I'm so excited I'm almost ready to get certified. We also went to the Tulip festival at Thanksgiving point. I love it, there were so many tulips. We also went to a Jazz game mostly just watched them on TV but we are pretty big Jazz fans even though they suck when they play the Lakers. Now we are just watching the rest of the NBA finals. So that is pretty much we have been up to lately. So we have a couple of summer vacations planned and some other fun things to do which I'm sure will be posted as they happen, hopefully;) Hope ya'll are doing good.

CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S ONE

HaPPy 1st BIrthdAy RYLER

I can't believe that he is already one years old. Where did the time go. His birthday was yesterday February 22 and the whole day I just kept remembering a year ago and all that was happening that day. Then I just remembering holding him for the first time and how I never wanted to let him go. It was awesome now he is getting so big. Almost walking, eating real yummy food, playing with all his toys, laughing all the time, scooting around and just being a good boy. I love him so much. This is a life. I love being a mom and glad he chose me! HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYLER !!! I have more pictures of him at his party later so stay tuned in a few days!

Christmas Story

So this is probably the longest post of pictures in blog history but it was the holidays and a ton has been going on. As you can see in the pictures below we had a lot of fun During the holidays we went sledding, looking at lights which Ryler loved and lots of good food. I love Christmas and I can't believe it is already over. Christmas eve we just spent time with each other we watched Its a wonderful life and we usually watch the Grinch my personal favorite but everyone fell asleep so we ended up going to bed so Santa could come. For Christmas I got the new Mario Wii game which I love it is like the only game I could play for hours. We also got Band Hero, clothes, Shop Vac, table and chairs, few board games and a magic bullet which I can't to use, and a few other little things. Ryler got tons of toys we went a little overboard but what do you expect for your first kids first Christmas. We also had a good new years. We didn't do much Sean and I made little snacks like chicken wings, pizza rolls, mozzerella sticks, and welches sparkling grape juice. We did sparklers for Ryler and it was perfect I even woke up 15 minutes before the ball dropped. We had an awesome Holiday season. I'm even more excited for next year already. Hope you all had a good one too! Enjoy the pictures.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My dad gave my mom this family picture for Christmas it came in a beautiful frame and it was a perfect family picture it couldn't have turned out any better. It was one of the hightlights of Christmas Plus we got to talk to my brother Shaun who is on his mission and that was so fun. He is doing soooooo good. We did miss him a lot on Christmas though.

This was Adries Christmas present but Ryler sure loved it. He is only 10 months and he was riding this all by himself. He is getting so big. It was so cute.
