Sun Babies

As of late we have not really been able to do much outside. Due to all of the tornados and flash flooding we have not been able to catch many rays. However, we have now been able to get to the pool a handfull of times. Ryan and I have fun with a few of our friend out by the side of the pool. We have yet to get in the water because it is still too cold--and lets just face it, mom doesn't want to get in the cold water!!

Getting OUT!!

So some of us decided that we should venture out and see what there is to see in Minnesota. Krystal found this neat little sculpture park so we decided to give it a go. It was so fun to see the sculptures and spend some time with Kristal, Amanda, ShanDel and her two kids--Katie and Wayde, and Ryan. Although Ryan slept in her little papoose most of the time, we had a really good time!!

Minnesota is our new home

Well there is not much to say about living here in Minnesota now. We will be here working all summer long. Our hope is that we will be successful and have some fun on the way. Luck for me there are a numer of really great friends to be made. here is a sample of some of our new friends out here! We went shoping for a sombraro and a fake mucsache and ended up looking at the endless options for sunglasses.

There are never any pictures of me with Ryan because I am always behind the camera so I set the timer!

Missing Daddy

Ryan and I are up visiting the grandparents in SLC while Jared gets settled out in Minisota for the summer! This Sunday, my first Mothers Day, Ryan and I will fly out and meet Jared. I am so excited to fly with Ryan, and yet a little nervous. In the mean time, we just hang out with the family here. I can tell that Ryan misses her daddy though. Jared is usually the one who feeds her at night and puts her down in bed. However, the past week he has been gone. When I put Jared on the phone to let Ryan hear his voice she always smiles no matter how tired she is. We can't wait to get out there and see Dad!!

Starting to Smile

Ryan is really starting to develop her own little personality!! She has learned how to smile. While most of the smiles are in the morning, she is smiling more and more! I can't wait to see more of her personality as it develops!!

One month old

Ryan is growin up so fast. She now will follow you with her eyes accross a room--not too far yet mind you. The best is that she will smile at you! She has the sweetest smile!! She is always smiling in the mornings, however, she smiles more and more as the days pass.
