Pictures of Ryan / 22 months

On Saturday Kevin and I went to the Claremont Colleges near our house because I wanted to take some pictures of Ryan. The day was absolutely beautiful and the campus was quiet and relaxing. Ryan is now 22 months old and growing so BIG! I thought I would capture my little guy at this moment in life. Ryan is a very energetic and happy boy. He's into EVERYTHING and loves to discover the world around him. He amazes me everyday on how much he learns. He really teaches me new things everyday! These are just a few of what I took of him that day...

Sweet little boy

Such a happy boy
Loves to explore

Ryan's 1st day in nursery

Yesterday Ryan turned 18 months old and it also was the first day of nursery for him at church. This day couldn't come soon enough. It was starting to get harder at church dealing with Ryan because he was tired and would run around and get into EVERYTHING! I'm so glad he's in nursery now and I can go to class and actually learn something...haha....he loved playing with the toys and did very well with the other children. We started Ryan's special day off with a delicious breakfast. Here are some pic's of breakfast and his first day in nursery.

When we got in the car after church he fell straight to sleep, he was sooo wiped out!

Utah Trip & Conference

This post is somewhat late, ok its over 2 months late....I'm trying to catch up on my blogging. As you can see from the pic's we went to Salt Lake City in April for General Conference and to see family and friends. It had been awhile since I had last been to SLC and a lot has changed since.

Our cute little family

We went to the Saturday afternoon session

-It was a great experience-

We stayed at a nearby Hotel there in SLC with some good friends of ours ( TheProctors) who used to live near us in Cali. Here's a pic of their family

Taking some pictures of the temple

When we got up there our first night, we were able to see my aunt and uncle and their beautiful home. We also got to see grandma Wilcox, and Ryan was able to hang out with her. We also were able to have dinner with them and get a tour of their huge home!

My Birthday and Valentine's weekend

This post is late but I thought I would recap my Birthday (Feb. 9th) and Valentine's day. My birthday is 5 days before valentine's day so I thought I would combine both posts into one. On my Birthday, I started the day off with going out to Breakfast with my husband and son to B.C. Cafe and then it was off to do boring taxes that day--I know, doesn't sound too fun but we needed to get them done. Then we headed back and I met up with my mom so that she could take me out for my "Annual Birthday Lunch".....We went out to Chili's and I also got a free birthday dessert! Then after that I headed out to Disneyland with Kevin while my mom watched Ryan for us. It was super cold that night and had just rained, so not a lot of people were there, so we were able to get on a lot of rides without having to wait in line a long time. We also went to Downtown Disney and went shopping and ate out. They also gave me a Disney fun card with $70 dollars on it because I went there on my birthday, so I got a lot of cool things for free!! I really enjoyed my birthday this year!

Now, on to Valentine's Day. A couple of months ago, my friend and I had planned on doing a double date for valentines. So on valentine's day we got ready and told our husbands to meet us outside and we surprised them with sparkling cider in champagne glasses and sweets for them. We drove them to the Victoria Garden's mall and surprised them with dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Dinner was so good and, of course, dessert was delicious! We tried the caramel apple cheesecake this time. We walked around the mall and I also got a new phone that day (LG Dare). After dinner we had planned to go Cosmic bowling but that fell through and it was getting later and we had to pick up our son, so Kevin and I decided to go home and watch movies just the two of us. It turned out to be a very fun valentine's day with our friends.

Snow Day

I had soo much fun today taking my son up to the mountains for his first time in the snow. We went up with my mom, nephew and niece. Ryan didnt know what to make of the snow at first but then had a blast playing in it after awhile. It was super cold and started to mist a little so we only stayed long enough to have some fun before we had to go back home. Grandma and Ryan
