HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

We are so grateful for our two wonderful mothers!! Hope you have a great day!

Here is a silly Stu movie to make it even better.

COCONUT M&M'S

Almost two years ago when I was working at Great Clips a girl introduced me to these delicious M&M's. I quickly fell in love with them just in time for (whoever it is that makes them??) to stop making the big packages... so, If I wanted to buy them I had to buy the little snack pack (probably a good thing so I didn't overdose) but they were also not very cheap in the little packs so I couldn't justify buying them all of the time. Well, I was getting used to the fact that these yummy little treats were banned from the big packs to save me from myself, when I FOUND THEM!! I was walking up to the checkout yesterday at Target and just glanced at the cute eater packaging of the m&m's when I realized that they were coconut!!! I quickly grabbed 2 bags and then had to run back for another!! I have to get my year supply you know, since apparently coconut is a easter thing.. (???) If you haven't tried these then you MUST!! They are SO good!!

* I texted Mike on the way home to tell him the great news and he texted back, "O boy, here we go.." hahaha (:

 Thanks for stopping by my blog! Hope you enjoy getting to know us and reading about our life in the Crazy lane. Sometimes we are full speed ahead and sometimes just coasting along, whatever it is we are enjoying the journey.

 We are---

The Ryan's. Three boys and a Mom.We pretend to look like this ---

But we really look like this. A lot of crazy, but that is the way we L.O.V.E. it!

Me and Him---
   Yep, it was the same ward and the same F.H.E. group at BYU-I that Mike and I met. Kind of the typical story of most people who attend "BYU-I do" , but perfect for us! We started dating October 2007 and were engaged about seven months later, then after a long, separated summer we were married on Sept. 19, 2008 in the Rexburg, Idaho Temple. I am pretty sure that I got THE greatest man that ever lived! We have so much fun together and love each other more and more each day. I am so happy that I found him.

The BOYS--- {{dun, dun, dun..}}
haha! I feel like that sound just comes naturally after that phrase. (0:
I really have two of the greatest boys. Good thing they both have such cute faces or my Stu may stop thinking that I am a princess... He is sure that you cannot be a princess AND a girl. These two keep me on my toes but I wouldn't change a thing. Boys will be boys and I am so grateful for all of our little adventures.

Stu

Graham

Stu's Buddy!

This is Stu's little buddy Landon! They are the same age and play together really well! 

Can you see why they like each other! Spoiled much??

YEa for warm weather!!

Yeah, I say that and as a am sitting here it is drizzley and cold outside....but it was warm, which hopefully means that spring is almost here!!

We are loving parks lately! We have taken Stu to the park 3 times now and he LOVES it! Of course, his favorite parts are the stairs that climb to very dangerous heights and the edges with no railings, perfect for him to dive right off of... There is no doubt that he is a real boy!!

Prepare for picture OVERLOAD!! I just can't believe that my baby is big enough to play at the park, and I am obsessed with how cute he is!!

This is THE worst invention of a swing that I have EVER seen!! It has the crisscross in the back so it looks like a baby swing and he can lean back, but there is, as you can see, nothing in the front. I was standing in front of Stu so that when he leaned forward (which was every time he swung back) I could catch him... So i decided to turn him around and put his legs through the holes and just have him lean forward...yeah he fell backwards and I had to catch him really quick!! Not our most successful swinging trip.

Such a cute face!!

He loved the slide!!

2nd park:

This time he was a lot more confident and wanted to go all over! He loved the big stair and the big slide, of course!!

"LET ME GO!!"

 We finally found a normal kid swing! ...he did not care!

Playin' in the bathtub

The other day I was doing my hair and of course Stu had to come in the bathroom with me...usually it ends up being a huge problem, me carrying Stu out screaming and putting all of the garbage back in the garbage, then him coming back in and shaking the shelf over our toilet until everything falls off... But this time he decided to climb in the tub! It was great he loved pulling all of the shampoos down AND best of all he couldn't get out!!

Another Year Gone

Well, another year is gone and we are busy as ever with all of the January happenings, church callings and trying to figure out what we are doing 6 months from now.

Mike just finished applying to the three schools we chose and so now the worst part begins...waiting. He is still working here in Cottonwood Heights and was just given a huge job of making some giant spread sheet thing. They LOVE that he is the master at excel!! Mike also is the membership clerk in our ward and is keeping very busy with our crazy transient ward. Stu and I have been hanging out at home a lot together since it has been SO cold, he is getting pretty good at walking and is doing it more and more even though there is no reason for him to walk in our mini apartment. He humors us! Stu is also quite the little talker! He talks so cute and A LOT!! He reads books (or sits and pulls all of the books off of the shelf and talks to them) but he will not sit in my lap and let me read to him, to boring I guess! I have been trying for a couple weeks now to get a video of him talking, but every time I would turn the camera on he would hear the little camera beep or jingle and just watch to see what I was doing. Well, finally last night I tricked him, I went into our bedroom and turned it on so he couldn't hear and then came back to record him, it worked like a charm!! So hear you are, Jabber Stu:
