Family pictures

This is my favorite one of Ryan.

We just got our family pictures back from when we took them in May.

I can see the light

So yesterday Jeremy took the first of three parts of the Nevada Bar which will let him practice law. He has been studying so much and has worked so hard. It's three days of intense testing and yesterday when he came home I could tell he was exhausted. It's been a long time coming and we're both ready to be done. Today he takes the second part and then tomorrow will be the LAST. I can't believe it! He's such an wonderful person and I just want him to know that I am proud of him and all that he has accomplished and I love him very much.

Anyone need a wipe?

So first I need to say thanks to Cairen for teaching me how to make these adorable wipe cases. Ever since I learned how I've been making them for all of my sisters. I thought I would share my attempts at being crafty! They are so fun to make because you can use any fabric you want, the choices are endless.

Alex's soccer game

Alex is my oldest brother Brin's boy. He is the one in the middle with the yellow jersey on. He is an awesome soccer player.
Brin and Melissa's second son Spencer with grandma.
Here is Lora, their 3rd child and only girl. She is a sweetie and she loves to hold her little cousin Ryan!
Last but not least is Jacob. He's a cutie.

PIG TAILS

Today I tried to put pig tails in Ryan's hair. I don't know if I would consider these pig tails but I'm desperate to do something other than put head bands in her hair.

Being mischievious

Grandma loves her "little sis"

Ryan loved smelling and looking at all of the beautiful flowers. She even managed to somehow have a handful of them without me seeing how she got them. Babies will be babies!

Eating outside at the Lion House.

Salt Lake City

So last week I went to Utah with my mom and Ryan to visit Rebecca and Derek. It was so much fun and it was beautiful outside. It was nice to get away from the heat for a couple of days. While we were there we drove up to Salt Lake City, my old stomping grounds, to spend the day. We ate at the Lion House, went to The Gateway Mall and walked around Temple Square.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July! We had a wonderful day. We started off by going to the lake and eating breakfast, jet skiing and tubing. We were all pretty tired and sun drenched but we topped off the evening by going to grandma and grandpa Gibson's house to eat dinner, homemade icecream and watch fireworks out front. Rebecca and Derek were able to come down from Utah so that made it even more fun. It was also nice to have all of my siblings there but one.

Stephanie's graduation

Here we are at Jeremy's sister Stephanie's high school graduation. We are so proud of her. I think this is one of the only pictures of us where we are all looking at the camera and our eyes are open!

Say Cheese

Well, we finally have a blog! I'm still figuring everthing out but at least it's started. This is our daughter Ryan. She smiles like this all of the time we think it is hilarious. She is usally full of these smiles but as of late she has not been a happy girl. She is getting 3 teeth at once and she is letting us know that she is not to thrilled about it.
