Birds

Last weekend we went to the zoo. Here's a fun video of Ryan and Everett feeding the birds. Everett doesn't get to do this when he's just with me - I really don't like the birds landing on me.

Happy Birthday!

My birthday was on November 4th. Ryan invited a few couples over and we enjoyed cake, ice cream and letting all the kids play. Thanks for a great Birthday honey!

Check out the beautiful cake stand Ryan gave me. The cake was soooo yummy!

Gotta love this boy!

He gave me the best birthday present yet...listen below!

Sea World San Antonio

A few weeks ago Ryan and I packed up the car and headed south to San Antonio, TX. It was so nice to get away for a quick weekend and spend quality time together.

Our main reason for visiting San Antonia was to go to Sea World, but I ended up thoroughly enjoying the city of San Antonio as well. The city has a fabulous River Walk with shops and restaurants. It is one of the most unique, lovely features I've ever seen in a city. I could have spent all day walking along this path.

Isn't it lovely? I must say that Ryan has quite the photographic touch.

After enjoying time along the river we headed to The Alamo. I always enjoy seeing historic sites and trying to imagine the events that took place hundreds of years ago.

The Family.

Dad was enjoying taking some fun shots of Everett. I love this one!

After a morning filled with sightseeing, we headed back to the hotel so Everett could nap and then on to Sea World!

Everett and Daddy feeding the Dolphins. So Cool!

So cute. I wish I hadn't been behind the camera. I missed all the action because I was too busy taking pictures. Dad said, he had a lot of fun!

Everett and Me during the Shamu Show. Everett loved seeing the whales jump and splash in the water. It truly was magical.

One last picture before leaving the park.

Big thanks to our dad who drove nearly the entire way down and back. We had a fantastic time!

October Trip to Utah

A few weeks ago Everett and I went to Utah to visit my family. It was great to see everyone and let Everett play with his little cousin Lola.

The first day in UT Everett and Lola had a blast coloring with sidewalk chalk.

My cute little sister Annaliese was out of school for fall break, so we got to spend a lot of time together. This is Everett and Annaliese in the helicopter at the Gateway Children's Museum. Everett loves his aunt Annaliese and quickly learned how to say her name - "lease".

My sister Whitney and her cute little girl Lola at the Hogle Zoo. Thanks for getting off work early and hanging out with us. Love you lots!

One of the biggest reasons I went to Utah was to see my grandpa. He has recently been diagnosed with malignant melanoma and has already been through 3 weeks of radiation treatments on 5 different tumors. He's such a trooper. Even though he was tired and chilled (the radiation makes you feel like you have a fever), he still wanted to drive up the canyon and see the leaves. This picture is at spruces campground. When we were little kids my grandparents took us here a lot. We loved to camp or just enjoy a Sunday picnic. I love you so much grandpa and am more than thrilled that the treatments are helping. Thank you for a great afternoon up the canyon!
