hola Gang

Hey gang

AUGGHH, this time of year is sooo hard for me being away from my family, and friends (plus the shopping!) it's super sad! I wish I was home to shop with my mother and to wake up Christmas morning with my brother. I would rather be in my moms house and still be one of the kids then in my house and be one of the parents and sneaking around christmas eve! Luckily, Ryan keeps me pretty busy, so this holiday season is flying by, one of the new adventures Ryan is going doing is Boy Scouts, and Tuesday night the boys earned their very first patch. They had to learn the Boy Scout Promise and the Law of the pack! the lighting was not that great but you can see ryan and hear everything!!! haha!

The boys then had some races:

SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!

We just had our very first snow! of course it had to happen during a seahawks game, so we had to wait until after the game to go outside! Thank goodness the seahawks won, or else we would have had a gloomy evening! We stopped by Ryan's best friends Brodens house, they have a huge backyard with a nice hill on it, the boys have had hours of fun in that backyard, slip and slide in the summer, and sledding in the winter! Luckily, Broden mother, Amy and I are the great friends.

for my mom

The new wall at our local church St. Joseph's finally finished, so i stopped by to take pictures of my grandparents name: It was hard to find, because there were sooo many names, the wall turned out beautiful!

Thanksgiving!

Well, i hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We had a quiet but nice thanksgiving, Adrian's mom Terri came so it was a just the four of us. Super relaxed, and cozy. UNTIL my turkey finished a whole hour before it was suppose too! last time i ever follow Butterballs directions! Ryan of course had plenty of speculations about the turkey, millions of questions, where were the feathers, how did the turkey die, and he had to examine the liver and kidney before i threw them away. He then proceed to tell me he would not eat the stuffing because it was inside the Turkey. So i made some extra and showed him that it was cooked beside the Turkey! how funny!

we also made pumpkin pies the night before, Ryan was again really into it, stirring, mixing etc. he was sooo excited to eat the pie after the big "feast"...he loaded his piece with plenty of whip cream, and then took a huge bit....needless to say he is just like his mother......next year there will be no pumpkin pie!

Christmas list!

Hello Gang!!!

Ryan thought of this great idea to create a wish book this year, we bought all kinds of stamps, cut outs, paper etc. Except that we are still on the cover page! Yikes! So we thought of a quicker way to create one, Ryan took his camera to Target and went to town on taking pictures! It was alot of fun, well Ryan had super fun!!!

Okay so here goes guys!
