 HE DID IT!!!

 Ryan's brother and his family surprised us by driving down to see him.

It was really awesome. You could tell Ryan really appreciated it.

 Ryan's study friends

 We did it all for this stupid piece of paper!

I am so proud of Ryan and his hard work.

Celebrations at Olive Garden!

Next post there will be more pictures of the festivities.



Cinco de Mayo!

 The girls with their delicious margaritas! (They are virgin, I might add;))

 All of our kids.

 Gavin and the girls

And I thought you might enjoy seeing our pictures swinging madly at the pinata! 

 Fierce I know!

Ryan broke the golf club and the debris almost impaled our friend Ashley.

Good times!

Mia's Dance Recitals

 Mia's first dance recital was in a gym. The Palmers came and brought flowers. She loved them!

Mia swaying. 

 Jumping

 The end

 She was a seed.

Here is my seed. lol

Jam Time!!

I know jam making is fairly easy but I do not care this was my first time making it, so I am posting it on the blog. As I told my friend, "Now I am a real Mormon mom!" lol

 I made two batches. The first was raspberry/strawberry, and the second batch was just strawberry. All can be amazed now!!

 Oh and here is a funny picture just to make you laugh!

Enjoy!

 We thought we were getting a good deal on pizza, but then we got the box and saw our "large" pizza was a fun size!

 On Friday we went to the church and played volleyball for Ryan's birthday.

 We had more people there, but I forgot to pull out my camera.

There was a lot of jumping, running, and fun.
