2 Months!

Today my little man turned two months. We certainly cannot believe how quickly time has flown. Ryan is such a joy and a blessing in our lives. He is almost always happy and very sweet. He is smiling and cooing and holding his head up pretty well. We love him to pieces. He is now 12 pounds four ounces and 24 1/4 inches long. I hope the nwxt month lasts a little longer.

Apple Hill!

We went on a short trip up the hill to find such exotic treats as Apple doughnuts, Carmel Apples, Apple Cider and Apple Pie! We also stopped for a short pony ride. Lily wouldn't ride by herself so I rode with her.

Church?

So lately Lily has been asking to go to church alot. Everyday as a matter of fact. I have been so amazed by this development. I asked Adrian if he thought it was amazing and he matter of factly told me "It's the light of Christ" So now that I was amazingly proud of my little girl I started to notice some things that occurred when church was mentioned


1. She giggles when the word church is said during prayer time.

2. when I mention a certain set of adorable twin boys she says”Church?!"

3. Lastly when we leave a play date with aforementioned adorable boys she says "Bye Church!"



Ummm. Lily isn't even two yet and she hasn't associated church with the gospel or the good feeling she gets when she go's. Nope in her mind Church=Boys. I think we are in trouble!

Winner! Winner! Chili Dinner

Last night was the Ward's Chili Cook-off. We haven't been at all in the last two years. It was a lot of fun with really good food. Now I'm going to brag just a little: We Won! Adrian wanted to do a BBQ chili so he smoked a beef brisket and then I made up the rest of the recipe. Score for making up a recipe on the fly. Now hears to trying to do it again!

Now Open

Adrian's Backyard Barbecue. Get'em while they're hot!

Big Girl Bed!

Cooking and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow,

But babies grow up, we've learned to our sorrow.

So go away,cobwebs and dust, go to sleep.

I'm rocking my baby, for babies don't keep.

That little poem is so true. I can' believe Lily is in a toddler bed. Last night Adrian put it together and she slept in her bed all night. She didn't cry or try to sneak out. I'm so proud of what a big girl she is but I'm a little sad that she is growing up so quickly!

Happy 1st Birthday Addeline!

My little nice turned one today! I can"t believe a year has gone by so quickly. She had a really fun birthday yesterday and these are a few of my favorite pictures from the event!
The cupcakes were so cute! The only problem was that the red dye was really strong and everybody had stained red hands, teeth, clothes, it was leathal but really tasty!

I thought this was too cute!

Uncle Scott and Lily!
