Riverfront Park

Statues of the Blooms Day runners...we're taking a jog with them

Lovely Carousel ride with Ryan. This ride went a lot faster then the one at Disneyland and he seemed to enjoy it better. It must be from all that fast swinging in his swing.

Look at him swim!

He's about to go under...
Looks he's under water...
Right back up!! He didn't even cry once, he really enjoys being in the water. I'm so excited that he likes the water so much, because I could spend every day in the water. What a big boy!!

I miss Arianne!!!

Arianne and I wasted many hours at work dreaming about having babies, we looked everything up you could lookup about babies- Now I'm a mom and she's about to have a baby girl!! I'm so excited for her. I came on the right weekend because I was able to go to her Baby Shower which was a lot of fun and I got to see all of her great gifts.
Look at that cute little bump!! It makes me miss being pregnant again, well not that much...

Young Women

I miss these girls so so so much!! I loved being in Young Womens in Liberty Lake. I was so excited to see all the girls and have them meet Ryan. What a wonderful bunch of teenagers.

Swimming in November

We went swimming at the YMCA on friday-Ryan had such a great time, he just loves the water.

I love the Thai Kitchen

This is Paul from the Thai Kitchen- I haven't been in, in over a year and a half and he remebered my name and exactly what I ordered!! It was still as good as I remeber, maybe even better!! I miss this restaurant, it's nothing fancy but the food is to die for! We went straight from the airport to the Thai Kitchen- This is Clint and Dawnell and one of their daughters Mya, I've been staying with them this whole week

Last post of the day I promise!!

Trick or Treating is hard work!! We had such a nice night, the temp was about 75degrees and a noce little breeze, you couldn't ask for better weather.


Okay so today I had alot of post SORRY! We had such a fun day and since I'm leaving tomorrow I wanted to clear out my camera before I left. Katie, I'm not trying to make you look bad : ) Ryan took a three hour nap after the zoo and my house was clean so what else to do but blog!!

Trick or Treat

Ready or not here we come-giveme candy You better hold on to that binkie or you might lose it!
We went trick or treating with our friends the Hargroves-this is Karina(witch) Emma(cowgirl) and Ryan (horse)


We had such a fun night with Ryan on his first Halloween!

White tiger!!

It was so nice outside all the animals were up and at'em!! The tiger is usually asleep in the shade but he was pacing the window right behind us. It's weird to think he was only two inches away from us
Ryan kept trying to get Delaney's attention, and every time she would look at him he would smile a great big smile and giggle!! It was really cute to watch them interact with each other and enjoy each other. I'm so glad that my family lives close and that our children will grow up knowing one another.
I think that this lion is stuck in the tree!! She is hard to see but she seemed to real be struggling up there. I know she is a cat but if you can see her legs they are caught on a branch. I wonder how long she has been up there? I need a better camera, once mom moves here we can take her on our zoo safaris with us and she can us her good camera.

I love the elephants!


The elephant came really close to eat the grass down in the ditch behind us
Ryan dosen't look so sure about the elephant...

Lions and Tigers and Bears oh my!!!

Happy at the zoo on Halloween!! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day to spend at the zoo. Ryan and I looking at the Rhinos
Ryan playing with a box and me watching unamused--oh wait those are the monkeies
Pretty pink flamingos

Spokane Washington here we come!!!

I am so excited to be going to Spokane on November 1st, this will be Ryan's second airplane ride in two weeks. Unfortunately I don't think Spokane will be this pretty in November, and this picture is showing only the very pretty part of Spokane.
When we lived there we lived in Liberty Lake, which is right on the boarder of Idaho. Liberty Lake is beautiful!!!! It was like living in Mormon Pleasantville. We LOVED our ward there(church), the mountains, trees, people, I don't however miss the cold, I think it is going to be in the forties while we are there. This did mean some shopping though, which I do enjoy. I can't wait to see our friends the Harames and go to the Thai Kitchen-this is Jared and I's all time favorite restaurant, told the Harames I wasn't coming if the Thai Kitchen wasn't open. It's just a mom and pop restaurant, the wife cooks and the husband waits all the tables. They decide all their own hours, so you might go with your mouth watering and they've decided to go out of town!!
This will be Ryan's second airplane ride in one month, hopefully he will be as well behaved as before. I think he is going though a growth spurt or teething or a combination of the two. He has been less then his normal pleasant self, hopefully that will change because it's really stressful to have a fussy baby at other peoples homes. Right now I'm listening to him cry because the ped said we need to let him self soothe himself to sleep at night--not going so well!! :( Jared keeps wanting to rescue him, but I'm trying to hold firm!!

Taste it, touch it, watch it, watch me learn

Everything that goes in his hands is going directly into his mouth!!
You should see how much drool he can produce!!
He does have a diaper on--I just realized it looks like he is sitting in his chair with a shirt and socks on--cool fashion statement dude!! PS I have heard about all the recall info on this chair, thanks for the concern everyone!

So does he look like Jared now?
Well this could have been a cute picture, but since I'm the only one who really likes their picture taken, it's good of me!
