The Wedding

Brett's dad got remarried on May 7th in Priest Lake, Idaho. The lucky lady is Bonnie. Aren't they cute. Her real name is Bonita. Brett's dad's real name is Basil. Basil and Bonita... I love it! It was a beautiful wedding in a gorgeous place. We are so happy that they are happy!Here is the beautiful lake. I could have stayed outside all day except for the 40 degree weather.

Our Family - Hawaiian by the lake style!

My favorite moment of the whole ordeal (besides seeing the happy couple) was when Ryan was the ring bearer! He was hilarious! He held the pillow so well and was so cute as he walked up to his papa. Then, about 2 feet away, he stopped and threw the pillow to Butch. What a boy! Luckily the ring was tied on!

We had such a wonderful time with all of Brett's family!

We Love Flip Flops

And so it continues with the next generation....

The Flour Man

Ryan likes to help me cook.

When ever I start, he says "chair, chair" and climbs right up and is ready to go. I think that he really just likes eating whatever I am making, but so do I. He has learned how to use the kitchen aide and loves to turn it on and off. It backfired on him one day when we were making bread together. We were making about 4 loaves at one time, so there was a massive amount of flour in the kitchen aide. He turned it on and... poof, he became the flour man!

He was crying, but I thought that it was so funny and cute, that I wiped off just enough flour so he could breathe and then ran to get the camera. Poor little flour man!

Sleep Talk

The other day, Ryan was taking a nap in his room. I heard him say " mamma, mamma" really sweet and excited like. I went in there thinking he was awake, but he was still fast a sleep.

It made my heart melt to think that maybe he was dreaming about me.

A New Saying

You know how there is a saying for when things do not mix, like

"Oil and water"

OR

"a bull in a china shop"

Well, I would like to add another:

"Like an ice cream truck in a church parking lot"!

This Sunday after church, everyone was leaving and this sweet little ice cream truck man saw all the children running around and assumed it would be a gold mine of a stop. Well, he drove in, slowly making his way around the lot and all he was met with was stares and laughter. I felt bad for him, really. But, now he knows - Mormons do not buy ice cream on Sunday. poor guy, but at least we have our new saying!

Its a Great Gig

Today, as I do many days, I felt such gratitude that I get to be with my little boy all day! I get to laugh at all of his antics and watch him grow and develop day by day. Today, he played at the water fountian at the mall for the first time. I loved watching his pure delight as he got soaking wet! It gave me a perma-grin for the rest of the day. Motherhood is a great gig!

My Camera is on Vacation

No new pictures. My camera is on its way from Washington to Utah and will arrive back in CA soon! We have had lots of fun adventures that I will have to blog about soon!
