Our next adventure!

It's official Ryan has accepted the job in Great Falls Montana and will start in August. We are very excited for this fun adventure. Ryan is planning on starting in August and going up there for the first month to get us a place to live and things started with work. The girls and I will be moving up there in September. Don't worry we won't be gone for long, this job will only be for about 9 months, so we will be back I hope by next summer. We are going to try and sell the house, but if you know anyone that would like to rent it please let us know. Here are a few pictures of of Great Falls. We will update you all later as more information comes our way.

A week with the girls!

Got Value? Girls Stake Camp 2009

This last week was a blast. I was called the Camp Director for girls camp back in February and have been working very hard for that last couple months to prepare for it. We had to do a fundraiser with the girls so that we would have money for each girl to attend and for any activities we wanted to do while up there. We had a great turn out and made just enough money for each of the girls to attend and to have some fun crafts and activities while at camp. I had some great leaders who helped tons with all the prep. Ryan also was a big help. He helped make 26 magnet boards for the girls to decorate. As stake we make value magnets, so we thought it would be fun for the girls to have a magnet board to put them on. The girls loved them. We also made cute bracelets with Be an Example charms on them. All the girls had a great time. I'm really grateful for all my young women girls and the leaders I work with. We had an amazing time. Thank you to everyone for all your help.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day!

It was so nice to have Ryan back the girls really missed him and so did I. We had a great father's day with our daddy. I digitally scrapbooked a father's day book for Ryan. I figured he would need something to take with when he traveled. He loved it. We later went to Ryan's parents for dinner and then went over to my parents to visit later that night. We had a great day with all our favorite dads.

Ryan's Trip to South Dakota

Ryan had to drive back to South Dakota to take all the work equipment back to his boss. It was a lot of driving, but they were able to visit some places on there way there and back. While in South Dakota they took a tour of the Rivett Refuge Preserve, at the Preserve they have a huge lodge that you can say in, a restaurant and more land to hunt on then you can believe. Ryan isn't really into hunting, but he said it was pretty cool see everything. On the way home they stopped in Sturgis, which is the home for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally's and they also visited Mount Rushmore. Even though Ryan and to drive ton's he said it was a fun little getaway and he was able to see some really neat things. We are glad to have him back home it was a long week without him.

WE MISS OUR DADDY!

Ryan has been gone all week driving back to South Dakota. This has been the longest he has been away from the girls and I. McKenzie and Brooklyn are constantly asking me what day it is and what day daddy is coming home. I'm exicted to see him tomorrow. I have girls camp all next week, so it will be good to have a few days with him before I head for the mountains. This week hasn't been bad, but we are ready to see Ryan tomorrow. We love our Daddy!

Congratulation's Ryan!

Next week will be Ryan's last week working for Quest Development & Construction. This last week he drove back to South Dakota to take all the work supplies back. I'm very proud of Ryan, the Hotel turned out awesome. Ryan was over the Holiday Inn Express & Suites and the Grins and Fins Water Park and his co-worker Ryan was over the Staybridge Suites. I made up a slide show of the Grand Opening and pictures of the hotels. Thank you Katie for taking all the pictures.

7 Great Years!

Today is mine and Ryan's 7 year anniversary. Can you believe it. We have made it 7 years. What and adventure it has been. Life sure changes fast, we now have two beautiful girls 4 and 3 and life is changing everyday. I'm so grateful to have Ryan as my husband and can't wait to see what the many years ahead have for us.

I Love you Ryan!

Congratulations Philip!

Philip Graduated on Friday. We are so proud of him. Philip is the the last of 7 kids to graduate from Davis High. What a great accomplishment for my parents. Congrats!

Catching Up!

Well things have been alittle crazy around here, so I haven't had time to blog much. Im the Camp Director this year and camp is in 2 1/2 weeks, so I have been really busy getting things together. Ryan has just finished up the Hotel that he has been working on for the last year, so he has not been home before 10:00pm for 3 weeks now. Along with my kids, housekeeping, and many other things, I just haven't had time. Today I finally sat down and posted everything I could think of sense Mother's Day. So I hope you enjoy all the pictures.

Adam's Canyon Adventure

Last Saturday Ryan and I took my young women up Adam's Canyon for their yearly hike. The weather was great and the hike was beautiful. I haven't been up Adam's Canyon for years. ( It defiantly showed) I forgot how beautiful it was. We all had a great adventure. Ryan was such a good sport in coming and helping us get up to the waterfall. The river was a little high so in some parts he stood in the freezing water to help the girls across. What a good guy. I hope we can make it up again this year, I just need to recover from this trip first. I've decided that it is pretty pathetic that I couldn't move my legs later that night or the next day, so I guess I need to work out more then I already do. I don't want to be that sore the next time we go on that hike.

All of us hanging out after we got to the top.

Me and my cute husband at the waterfall.

This is what we had to walk through to get to the other side of the water fall. It was really cold, but we had fun doing it.

A Day at the Zoo!

On Memorial Day we decided to take the girls to the zoo. The weather was great and the girls loved it. It was nice to spend some time together as a family. Ryan has been so busy with work that we don't see him very much, so it was nice to have him home for a day. After the zoo we went over to Mike and Natalie's for a BBQ. It was a great ending to a busy day.
