Wheeler Farm

Ryan and I got to go to Wheeler Farm for with her school class! We had a bunch of fun. We learned all about the animals. They got to see how you milk a cow and a lot of other fun things like making butter out of cream. We went on a tracktor ride and then fed some ducks. In the end all the kids were ready to eat their lunches and go home.

As a side note, we drove with one of Ryan's class friends to the farm. Trison, was so cute! He kepts telling Ryan that it was a good idea to hold hands everywhere they went. So, almost the entire time they were hand in hand. So cute. This kid was a doll.

Graduates

Just wanted to tell Alex and Jeremy, my brothers, Congratulations! Alex, for getting his Bachelors at the worst school in the entire world!! Jeremy, for getting his Masters down there at good ol' SUU! Good job Brothers!! Jeremy, send me a picture of you in a cap and gown or a suit and I'll post it with Alex's! Until then here is the graduate completing his HALF IRON MAN!! What was harder Jeremy... Masters or Half Iron? I put money on the Iron man!!

A conversation worth keeping

Today in the car:

Ryan: "Mom, when can I get earings?"

Me: "When you are eight."

Ryan: "You have earings right mom?"

Me: "Yeah, I do."

Ryan: "How old are you mom?"

Me: "twenty-seven."

Ryan: "Well that's not eight is it mom!"

Me: "Well, you have to be eight or older."

Ryan: "Sigh!" (pretty sure she rolled her eyes but I was driving so I'll never know for sure.)

The kids

I needed some pictures of McCallum... and really wanted some with both Ryan and Mac. I can't believe how different my kids are! When we went I tried to get McCallum first because I knew my window would be small. However, I had no idea it would be so small. I had only about one min. to get any photos of McCallum!! He was so happy as long as I didn't point my camera at him. On the flip side, I had to almost yell at Ryan! When it was time to stop taking pictures of her she threw a fit! Ha! I've got polar opposites for kids! I love 'em both though!!

Confrence weekend

We had a really fun time with the cousins this past weekend! It was fun to have them come up again. Even though it was short notice, we were able to put together a really fun Easter egg hunt. The kids also enjoyed dying easter eggs! How lucky are they! I'll post some of the pictures soon of the hunt--Andrea has them on her camera. As for now, here are some of the birthday pictures I took of Riley and Logann. I can't believe how big they are getting!

Ryan's sick story

Ryan has been running a fever the past day or two. However, she is still making us laugh! Yesterday I took her over to Jared's mom's home while I went to work until Jared came to get her. She started to run another fever so Lynn gave her some medicine and sat with her. While they sat together Lynn didn't feel like the medicine was really doing much. So this is the conversation that followed:

Lynn: "Ryan, how about I say a prayer to Heavenly Father and Jesus to help you get better?"

Ryan: "No, Nana. Just call Santa Clause."

I laughed so hard when I heard that! I just had to document it. Things kids say!!

Finally 4

As promised, Here is more on Ryan's birthday. For her birthday, Ryan got spoiled!! Among the clothes, there was a movie, flowers, an easy bake oven, paints, play dresses, stuffed animals, and flowers. Here are some fun pictures of the exclusive party she had... meaning Me, Jared, and Mac were there. We love you Ryan!!

Also some of her 4 year pictures that I'm working on. There will be more soon when it gets warmer, and when we get some time.
