Ryan's birthday

I can't believe that I have a son that is 4. Ryan has grown up so much and is a big helper and a good listener. Sometimes we do have independence problems but I guess that can come with his age. Well we decided this year that for his birthday we would have a date with Ryan and next year he will have a birthday party. We took him to Neilsons frozen custard. He had lots of fun. With his meal he got a chocolate custard. Jamie had told the workers there that it was Ryan's birthday. A few minutes after we had our food over the speaker they had playing "Happy Birthday to Ryan song". Ryan thought that it was pretty cool but he was a little embarrassed. They brought out a brownie with custard on it and a candle. He had been talking all day about blowing candles out so he liked that. After that we took him present shopping, he got to choose one present and we picked out some clothes for him. He says, "I'm 4!"

We must not have gotten a picture of him brownie and custard. We went back to my parents house where Danny was and Ryan got to open presents from grandma and grandpa and blow out some more candles.

Danny didn't like the feel of the hat.
It had been a while since we had had Ryans computer set up so Jamie decided to set it up for him again. Once he got it set up the boys were in cloud 9. And Yes Ryan does know how to use the keyboard and spell things to get him to where he wants to go without help from mom.
We have his computer projected on the wall we they can't break anything and they love it.

More Camping.

We decided that we would do our last camping of the year. We headed up north to cooler country. My uncle loves weather so he had a thermostat up there and in the morning at 6 it was 29 degrees. Needless to say we had somewhat of a long night with the boys waking up every few hours crying. All in all we had fun. During the day up there the weather was beautiful. My dad brought his quad and so that is all the boys wanted to do. We got to see some elk the night that we got up there when we went on a ride where we had the quad hooked up to the trailer that we brought it up on so we could have more riders. The boys loved it.

Great way to Celebrate

Four posts in one day! Man I must have really been behind...... The Saturday after my birthday our friends invited us to go to the lake with them. They brought a wake board. We had tons of fun. Jamie and I had never been wake boarding before. Of course Jamie got up a lot faster than me but I did get up by the end of the day. Thanks Abe and Jess for taking us! Here are some photos to highlight our day.



This is Abe and Jessica's son Kaiden. He seemed to love the boat and after a little bit of driving the boat around the lake he fell asleep.
Jess is awesome. She is 5 months pregnant here, she was easy on herself but she did awesome!
Of course this is a picture of Jamie, one of the many times that he got up.

Proud Photographer Mother

As you can tell we love to take photos. We have had fun playing with our photography equipment. We bought this new backdrop and thought that we would try it out on Ryan after church. He loves to have his picture taken.

He was suppose to be flexing here. It just made me laugh.
Then Jamie came up with the idea of getting photos of Ryan jumping off the table. Ryan loved that idea.

Some much needed photos

We had meaning to get family photos since my brother got married but just hadn't gotten around to it. But with finding out recently that my dad has cancer we thought that it would be a good time to go take family photos. It was nice to get some good family photos and get some good ones of my parents and my dad with the boys. When we first got to the location the first spot we started setting up there were a lot of bees around. We just thought we would try to do our thing and let them do their thing. Within just a few minutes Ryan was crying and low and behold he had been stung. We pulled the stinger out of his wrist. By the time that we moved to the next spot just a few feet away Ryan had already stopped crying. We were so proud of him. He smiled for all the pictures and listened so well. Just like before the rocks and sand was when what kept Danny occupied. Here is a cool shot that Jamie got while we were getting photos done.

This is our awesome friend Matt that did our pictures.

Family Pictures

As photographers it seems that we always end up editing everything else but our pictures. I kept meaning to post these but just never got around to it. These are from about 4 months ago but I thought that I would share them anyways. Danny was being a toad and didn't want to smile to the pictures and was pre consumed by the rocks that we were sitting by..... Enjoy! Thanks Matt for taking these for us!
