Summertime and the livins easy!

We have been spending a whole lot of time in the pool lately and Ryan is Loving it! It amazes me everytime she gets into the pool how natural it is for her. Within minutes of having her floaties on she was pro. She is quite the daredevil as well as you will see in the following video.

Check out this sweet spray park!

Ryan has been enjoying all the cousins around to play with she's always talking about her homies and how dope they are. And if you are wondering how Owen is enjoying his summer here are a few pics. For some truly amazing pictures of Owen check him out at Urban Photo

Fathers day

Chilaxin like always

*Contrary to what you may see in these photos Owen sleeps quite nicely in his own bed*

Owen and Ryan

Owen Eugene

Born at 11:43 pm on May 15th 2009. 6 lbs 13 oz. 21 inches long.

37 wks

Owen has been so kind this last week, he dropped out of my lungs so now I can breathe again!

Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter to all! So Ryan went to her friend Ella's Birthday/Easter party, where for the very first time she got to experience an easter egg hunt and bubbles.

She picked up on the goodness inside of the eggs really quick, and was immediately snatching as many eggs as she could find. The cute part is she would actually put them in her little bag every time she found one.

This is her "I might be small, but I'm tough" face.

Playing with the bubbles on the grass was a real highlight, she was constantly doing her little dancing feet.

And of course what is a great party without a couple of cupcakes!!

Conference Cuddles

So Ryan decided that today was the day when she would be willing to sit still for longer than 6 seconds. She asked for her Daddy to pick her up and then sat on his lap for the next hour and watched the whole first half of conference with minimal wiggles and giggles.

There is a Phantom Baby Ghost in our House!!!

31 Weeks

So here is Owen at 31 weeks...Isn't he cute!

Marley & Me, and Benji, and a chair

I got to spend a whole day at my cousin Benji's house, where I played a lot of piano, danced to my hearts content, and played on this chair.

I had to show Benji that I wasn't some sissy, so I did a little Krav Maga move on him that put him right down on the floor.

Marley has become a good bunk buddy and does an excellent job of keeping my feet toasty.

What a silly Cat!

Dancin' Dancin' Baby Girl!!

I Wanna Be a Missionary Now!

My Grammy and Poppy sent me this beautiful Peruvian dress, and Grammy sent me one of her old nametags, so I am all set to do some missionary work. Right now I am teaching Marley. He seems to be coming along nicely, but he has a major Word of Wisdom problem that he is not willing to give up. Also he has a live in (the garage) girl friend, who has had countless illegitimate children. Well I am going to keep pushing the work forward, thanks Grammy and Poppy.

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

So my dad wakes me up this morning and says its my birthday. I had never heard of a birthday before so I just ignored him and went on my merry way with playing in the places that I should not be playing. But now I see that a birthday, scratch that MY Birthday, is all about pampering me. I could really get used to these birthday things!!

Dad fed me my favorite lunch. Pizza!! and yeah I like getting all messy

just chillaxin, after I got my grub on.

No woman on earth likes being photographed while they are in the bath!

after intense grubbin, I got my clean on, and then I like to wander in my cute robe

After bath time it was time for noontime nakedness.

Dad caught me trying to sneak out of jail and into the kitchen to go and eat some of those tastey kitty food snacks.

Spent a good amount of time petting my Marley-Man.

He was extra cuddly so I gave him some extra luvs.


This Incredibly cute bow was given to me by my pal Lexi.
I just look too cute in this picture not to blog it.
Some of my girlfriends came over to party.
This is the special lady who made all this cuteness happen.
And this is the cup cake my daddy made for me.

I saw this singing tea set at the store and it just made me want to dance.

Presents, Presents, give me Presents!!!

Apparently I was supposed to spit on the cake before we could eat it, but I didn't really get it so I let my friend Ella do it.
My dad wanted to torture me, by taking so many pictures of me eating cake, of course that didn't stop me from eating it.

I would drink the frosting if they would let me.

I am not going to lie, cup cakes are my thing.

This is my posse, from left to right is Harper, Me, Ella, and Lexi.

This birthday thing just wears me out!!!
