The Time Has Come....

For me to buckle down and start blogging again! I feel like I have made one excuse after another in my mind since we moved (over 8 weeks ago!). Lately we have been outside ALOT enjoying community pools and splash parks, but this week is insanely hot. So hot that its not even good to be outside. So instead I decided to use my time wisely and clean, interior decorate, play like crazy with 2 babies and now, as they are both asleep, blog. I know I mention this a lot, but truly we are so blessed. We were able to find an amazing new house that I am LOVING making into a home. We have a great ward and a wonderful neighborhood. Ryan has a great job and will soon be starting his MBA program at nights, so our lives are about to be REALLY busy for 3 years, but we are grateful for the opportunity. I guess I will start this post with a few pictures of our trip to MI for memorial day, about a week before we moved. We had a wonderful few days as always, getting to spend quality time with Nana, Papa, Unkie and Baron:-) Scott (Unkie) got an awesome new camera so I kinda went crazy with it since a nice camera and learning how to use it well is a dream of mine for someday. I will just show you a few, but I think I took over 300 pics in like 3 days. I'm crazy I know:-) Actually on second thought I will start with a few pics taken by Scott's camera on the 4th of July...then we will go to memorial day...sorry the post is long, we just had too much fun and captured a lot of it!:-)


Don't be surprised if this picture shows up on a Christmas card to you:-)


Our little family


Just messing around...trying to get even one picture with everyone looking was pretty much impossible!


Guess we love trees...

That was it for the 4th so now we go into the MANY pics taken on Memorial Weekend...

Our little teething snot nose boy:-)


Bubba LOVED Baron, Baron loved Bubba


Feel the love


He loved himself some ice cream. Actually he loves anything he can possible eat:-)


Who, me?!


Chocolate mouth


YAY!


This begins the pics of one fun night in the basement with the Gordon's


LOVES!


Playing with Unkie


Baron loves his Daddy!


Blackmail pic for the future:-)


LJ and her Nana


Me and some of the best people on the planet, Mary and Stu Gordon


Mary is wonderful:-)


Ryan began by staring Baron down then it turned into about 10 minutes of madness with Ryan rolling all over the ground and Baron going crazy:-)


The rolling continues...


Unkies not having any fun at all...


Nooo mommy I don't want to go to bed and miss out on all the fun!


Jiggy and her baby...I don't think my son will ever get that old...hopefully though when he does he will love me like these boys love their mom.


The happy couple being weird and crazy...like we usually are:-)


LJ doesn't love her Papa at all...isn't that obvious?:-)


This was one of the first breakthrough moments when she started to actually be ok around Baron and not screaming and crying...In this picture she is saying "A Baron, a kiss you" That is her 2 year old way of saying give me kisses Baron.


Little stinker


She loves her unkie lots!


Going on a walk


Leaves!


Peek-a-boo


Doing the horrible task of shelling and de-vaining shrimp...


Helping Nana water her plants...


Not too happy with the cold water in the pool


Happy now that Nana is holding me though!


Picking flowers for Nana


Buds

Hopefully now that we are more settled in there wont be as long between posts...the next couple months have some fun visitors for us so we are excited!
