meeting my expectations.








These are the family pictures Kate took once again for us. She is amazing. This is my family, these are our attitudes. Ryah can seriously give a d.i.r.t.y look I tell you(pic 4). Aubree is always happy. Joe is always a great guy. and I am always trying to keep us in line. I love my family so much. Those two girls are the greatest blessing to Joe and I. They are always so so fun. Thank you Kate for capturing us as we are. I love you! Family pictures are the best.

two.





My sweet Ryah Jane has turned two. I can't believe how old she is...she really is growing up so so fast. It has been so fun to see her funny personality. She cracks Joe and I up on a daily basis. Her birthday party was so fun, all her cousins came to celebrate and Jackie let us use her beautiful/fun backyard. The weather was perfect and the food was delicious.

Ryah came to us June 22 2008. It was a long hard labor. Her heart rate kept dropping and was so slow and faint the nurses sometimes couldn't find it. I never felt so helpless and said so many prayers. But Ryah is a fighter and made it safely to us that evening. I am so greatful for this sweet little girl. I love her with all of my heart. She keeps me on my toes and laughing all day. I hope she knows how much I love her, and how much her daddy loves her. Hope you had a wonderful birthday Ryah!

here she come!


This little sweet girl is loving life here, she is getting to such a fun age!


Our house is up and going! It is so exciting.. I love this tiny little place that we will be able to call home. These pictures are a few days old, so it even further along then this right now. The plumbing work is being installed and Joe is getting the electrical things together. I will be posting pictures of the home every few days so we can see the progress. It has been so nice to be here and the weather is so nice. The wind finally died down, but i'm sure it will be back (as always). There are four bedrooms and one bathroom. Can't wait to show you more!!

so long


We did it, we are officially moved up to Snowflake! It has been so fun so far, I already really miss the friends I have made in Mesa, but hopefully someday I will see them again. As far as our house, it is already getting started, the footers are dug, the inspection has passed, the pipes are lined out and they are filling the footers today/tomorrow. I am so excited to be here. We have amazing family members here, and I love being with them. I love that my best friends are my family. It makes things so swell.
Ryah is always caked in mud, candy, and sand. She loves it here. I love watching her just play in the sand and relaxing, not having to worry if she is going to run out to the street or get stolen from me. She has been so cute and wonderful through the move. She is now in a "big girls bed", and so proud of herself.
Aubree has been pretty good as well, shes getting used to sleeping in the crib. She still doesn't sleep to well. Actually she sleeps worse now that we have moved. Hopefully she gets better so I can get some sleep at night. She loves being here too, so far we are mostly outside and enjoying the weather (minus the wind). Ryah is always talking about Camryn, Levi, Clair, and Kloey, anytime we get in the car she says one of their names... She has already made some friends here and loves them too.
As for Joe, he has been the best husband, father, everything ever. He is seriosly my best friend and I love him so much. I am so proud of him for getting into school here... and working so hard so we can live comfortably. He is a million good things. He is just like a little boy here, so full of life and enthusiasm. Thank goodness he keeps me going. We miss all our friends and can't wait until you all come to visit us! We truely loved getting to know you!
