Snowflake, Az Here We Come!!

It's sad but true- we are moving. What a week it has been!! Last week Ryan interviewed for this job that's still with SRP. The next day they told him the job was his. We than had to decide what path we wanted to take. We feel good about moving and excited about the change. It will be hard financially for awhile but in the long run it will benefit our family. We are sad to leave our family and good friends. We will be back to visit. Yesterday Ryan got a phone call that his job starts a week earlier. So now we are moving May 22 and his job starts May 27. We are going up this weekend to find a place to live. We have lots of little details to take care of in 3 weeks but I'm not worried. It will all get done. We love you all!!

Fun Times

The Zoo

Last Saturday, we had so much fun at the zoo. We spent 2 and half hours there. Dallin had so much fun! Thanks Grandma for coming and enjoying the morning with us.

Dallin didn't quite know what to think.




Dallin loved the petting zoo. He would laugh everytime one of the goats made a noise. I had to watch him because he would try to pick at their hair not pet it.

My two boys that I love! Dallin did really good at the zoo. I was impressed at how many animals he was able to find. The best part was the petting zoo. Dallin was so tired on the way home from all of our fun. Grandma did a good job keeping him awake so he could sleep in his crib. We all took a nap!

Kennedy's Dance Recital

Last Friday night Kennedy had her first dance recital. She did an amazing job. We are so proud of you!
After the recital we all went to Dairy Queen for dessert.

I was so amazed that Dallin watched the whole 20 min in my mom's arms and seemed to enjoy it.

Great Dentist

I have found an awesome dentist. His name is Benjamin Whiting. His office is located next to Brimhall Jr High on Southern between Higley and Greenfield. I was very impressed. He has a very calm and gentle demeanor. He told me everything he was doing as I sat through my root canal. He even has manners. I don't think I have ever heard so many thank yous from a dentist when she handed him an instrument. Everyone I talked to in the office was very friendly. He is worth looking into.

Play Dates

We love playing with Kennedy and Hadlee. They wanted to have a picnic outside so we did. Dallin was more interested in a book than eating. Thanks for playing girls!


This is Dallin's friend Wyatt. Wyatt is 3 weeks older than Dallin. They like to play at church all the time. It was fun having Wyatt over and will have to do it more.

Our Fun Little Man

Happy Anniversary

I love you so much Ryan. I can't imagine my life without you. I am so blessed to spend eternity with you. Thanks for always making me smile, making me laugh, and making me the person I am today. These last 2 years have flown by and I know it will keep getting better!! We still get people telling us we look and act like we are newly weds. I can honestly say we have never had a fight or argument. Life is too short to do that. I tell Ryan how I feel, and he does the same to me. We just have a great relationship. That’s one thing I love about Ryan, it’s the way we are able to communicate.
I heard this song the other day by Rascal Flats. The words made me think of Ryan and how much I love him. So I wanted to share.
Every road that I've been down, the only truth that I have found, There's only one thing I can't live without, YOU, I was searching for something I thought I would never find, losing my mind, In and out of bad love, I thought I was born to lose, then came, YOU,

I thought I knew what the real thing was, but nothing shakes me like your love does, I've been hypnotized, now I realize, Every road that I've been down, the only truth that I have found, There's only one thing I can't live without, YOU,

Everytime I get lost in a tempermental mood, you still stay cool, When I think my lifes about to drive me insane, you take the reins, Everytime I feel like I'm drifting off course, your my compass your my one true north, in a mixed up world, you make sense to me.

Every road that I've been down, the only truth that I have found, There's only one thing I can't live without, YOU.
You are my best friend, the love of my life, and the most amazing person I know!! I love you Ryan always and forever!

Easter

Happy Easter to all! On Sat, Ryan's family had an easter get together. We took Kennedy and Hadlee to have fun with us. As you can see, we had lots of fun. Thanks Gary and Stacey for a great afternoon.

Kennedy finally caught the rabbit!

Hadlee really wanted to reach the baby chicks!

Dallin looking for easter eggs!

Kennedy, Ryan, and Dallin loved to ride the four wheeler!

Dallin looking through his bag of goodies! He did get one candy wrapper open and was not happy when I took it away.

The Easter bunny found our house last night! Thanks Nana for the cute surprise on our doorstep and flour bunny tracks leading to our door. You always do the neatest things. We love you!

I did it!

I am so glad it is over!! I can't believe they asked me to do it! I'm not smart enough, I thought! Are you curious?? They asked me to substitute teach the Relief Society lesson yesterday. I know what you are thinking- lucky me. I was terrified but as I got started the time just flew by. I feel good about my lesson on John the Baptist. I got many compliments so that made me feel good too. It was a little tougher of a lesson but I learned so much and many people said they did to. Before I started, the lady that asked me to teach the women of my ward told me she was trying to set it up that I would teach every month. She went out of town and came back last week too late. I got my calling last Sun. I think I would rather be an Achievement Day leader and play with 8 year old girls than stand in front of adults and teach them. But I did it and am proud of myself. For those of you that are mad you didn't know, that was on purpose. I was nervous enough!!
