Happy Halloween!!

Well, Over the weekend Austin caught some virus in his mouth that makes kids scream nonstop for the first 3 days and nights and they get some rash on their body. Let me just say I don't wish this on anybody the virus or the having to care for a child that has it! I felt horrible to find out that Wendy's(my sis-n-law) little boy Will has it :(. Aside from that we somewhat enjoyed the ward Trunk-o treat , Austin didn't wear his costume and there was just no way to force him to. He may not even be trick-or-treating tonight either.: ( It makes me sad because he is just so dang cute as a Shark. That picture is not the best but it was the longest he has been in the costume so I am still crossing my fingers for tonight :) Brooklyn is just the cutest fishy I have ever seen!! She has been so excited all month to tell people she is a fish for Halloween. We also got to carve pumpkins 2 times this year and the kids got to make and decorate Halloween cookies. Well, we hope to see people out tonight having a good and safe time :)

Ode to the fair!!

Every year,since I have known Ryan we ( us and his family) go to the fair. It is a family outing that I have come to love and look forward to every year. For those of you that don't know...I am a chicken!! I am scared of the dumbest things and am full of all the "what ifs" one could come up with. :) Well every year at the fair the rides seem to get scarier, or just bigger and better,but I am surrounded by my sis-n-laws and Ryan who love a scare. So every year they seem to convince me to get on the rides and not just the ones for my kiddos. LOL! This year there was this superman ride where 3 people lay on their stomachs on these platforms and then a bar snaps you in place on your back (kinda like being the middle in a sandwich) then they make you fly up,down and even sideways!! Well last year at the fair I weighed 35lbs more and I know I would have been as snug as a bug in a rug then,but this year (being 35lbs. less)I couldn't even feel the bar on my back!! There was a big gap and I was laying in between Ryan and his sister and it was tight on them!!! I was panicked ,freaked out....even started to cry before the ride had started. They kept telling me it would be OK but that wasn't even the worst of it! Once the ride had started all I could do was cry and scream. It was just such a scary thing to be flying in the air like....well....superman!! So I survived that and several other scary rides,again this year,and before we left I even rode the superman ride again and that time loved every second of it!! I go through this every year,one would think that I would remember how much fun I ended up having the year before and be fine but nope not me. Oh well :) I was also very proud of the food choices I made at the fair this year ; ) I love the fair!!!

getting the hang of this!

Well, I think I still need some help with this page. How do I add contacts links on here so I can go straight to there page? How do I make my page not ugly?? LOL! Stuff like that. But here is I guess my first blog!

Ryan and I met when we were 18, we dated for 8 months and were engaged for 3 of that. I know what your thinking but we both knew it was right. We were married on May 19,2001 and he turned 19 on our honeymoon :) I remember waking up and making him breakfast thinking I am married and it is my hubbys b-day and HOLY CRAP! he is only 19!! LOL! We have both had a lot of growing up to do..still do but we are doing it together .


when I married Ryan not only did I get my one and only but I got this whole new family that was unlike any family I had ever met! From the first time Ryan brougt me home to meet them I have felt loved and a part of them. I have often found myself wishing that my family was more like his. I know that no matter what happens they are here for me to support and love All of them..Grandparents, Cousins, Aunts and Uncles, sis and bro -in laws! I am so blessed to have them all! Now we are a very close family but I am not saying there isnt ever any drama :) But thats life!



Ryan and I have also been blessed with our 2 children. We have not been able to concieve but that hasnt mattered so much because of the 2 monkeys that fell right into our laps! We have brooklyn. We got her when she was 2 and she will be 4 in January. She had a rough start but is doing great now! She is a girly girl, love s having her hair done and dressing cute. She is curious about everything and has a big open heart. She definately makes us feel loved. Then there is Austin. We have had him since he was born. He is 2 and will be 3 in March. He is as wild and crazy as they come! He has so much energy that it makes my head spin sometimes. He is adventurous and not scared of anything. He just like his sister has a big heart and is very loveable.


Well if I keep going I may not have anything to blog about ever again LOL!! sorry about how long this one is :)

So... here I am blogging 8 )

Ummm it is gonna take me awhile to figure this out. Don't realy have the time to write at this moment but I will... soon!
