So I finally did it, I got everything together, and I now have a blog for my company. I have been playing around making bows and headbands for Ryann since she was born, and have built up my skills enough that I think I can sell a few! There is a new boutique in Logan called Violet Hill, and I will be selling there hopefully by this next week, as for now I am going off of my blog. Please check it out and let me know what you think!

Wow!
K I am seriously so awful at writing frequently...A lot a lot a lot has happened since I wrote last!!! We finally got to move home to Logan, and we found a great little grandma house in Smithfield which is like ten minutes north of Logan. I love having a house, it is so nice!!! Its a super super old house, but we love having a yard, and not having to worry about being quiet.
Ryann loves it too, she seriously did laps around the house the first night we got here! She is nuts about being outside, she gets a huge thrill out of dirt, and playing in the water. We also got her a swing for her 1st Birthday, but I am going to do a separate post on that event :). She just can't get enough of playing outside!
Will got a job managing a Sprint store in Logan, and he absolutely loves it! It is sooo nice to have him home at decent hours, and to have a regular schedule and a regular paycheck. Don't get me wrong, the traveling sales thing was quite an adventure, but we were so past ready to settle in one place!
My days are filled cleaning up after Will and Ryann, and boy is she a little tornado. She gets such a big kick out of taking all the dvds off the shelf one at a time and throwing them on the floor, and I don't have the heart to tell her no...so obviously I put them away about 3 times everyday. I am also starting up a company with my sister in law Jocelyn... its called Astoria, and I will do a separate post about that here in the near future :).
The most exciting news we have this month is that we are expecting again! Ryann will be a big sister in February of 2011. My due date is February 20th, so I am about 13 weeks right now. This baby happened a lot sooner than we had planned, but then again so did the last one ;). We are so grateful to have the opportunity to be parents again, and I can't wait to have a little tiny one again!

July
July has been jam packed for us so far! We got to go to Vernal for the fourth, and it was so much fun to see the fam again! We didn't get to make it last year to the Tippage Tournament at aunt julies, but this year we were so glad to be there! Ryann L_O_V_E_D the fireworks. She sat in her daddys lap and just stared at the sky totally in awe! It was so cute! It was so fun to see the Downing fam, so glad they came up from Texas to be there! Our fav Cousin Skyelee is engaged to a cute southern boy, and he just fits right in! We are so glad for her! Ryann also turned 11 months on the sixth....can't believe how much she changes everyday! Some of her new tricks:
She started walking the end of June, and now is just everywhere! It is so cute to see her toddle everywhere!
Everytime she hears a phone ring, she puts her little hand up to her ear and says hello.
She waves hello and bye bye!
She has an obsession for stairs.... :/
She gives high fives!
Her two front bottom teeth are finally coming through!
She makes the cutest little face where she scrunches up her nose and forehead, puckers her lips, and breathes in and out through her nose....I Love it!
She is just getting so much personality, I love to just watch her function. She is such a turkey...and loves to crawl or walk away when she knows shes in trouble. Its so funny to watch her kick it into gear when she knows Mommy is coming... I just can't get enough of her.
The 8th was Ryann's Uncle Mike's Bday (so we hope he had a wonderful day in El Salvador)
The 9th was Ryann's Uncle Trent's Bday and we didn't get to see him either...but we love them both tons!
The 10th was Will and I's second anniversary! Can't believe that it has been that long...he is so sweet. I woke up that morning, and he and ryann were m.i.a., So I figured they were playing out in the yard. I started to make Will his favorite breakfast (french toast), and he showed up home with a big vase full of lillies...my absolute fave. They are still smelling up the whole house wonderfully! After breakfast we took Ryann to the Zoo, it was so fun! She loved it, and Will and I couldn't stop staring at the grizzly bear! it was so fun! However, it was ridiculously hot! So we went to McDonalds and got a parfait and let Ry play on the toys. Then we came home and watched movies and had dinner, and just relaxed the rest of the night, it was fun to just be together all day. I'm such a lucky girl to have a husband who gives me massages, does dishes, and helps me so much with our baby. Yesterday he surprised me with a pot roast and rosemary potatoes for dinner, he is so thoughtful! and it was yummy too! So far it has been a good month, and tomorrow will be the cherry on top if Will gets the call telling him we get to move home to Logan for his new job!!!! Pray for us, cause we miss it so much. :) Here are some pics from this month so far...

Alcova Lake Casper, WY
So I know we are soooo bad, but the only day off that Will had to take his guys to the lake after they hit their goal was Sunday. It was such a beautiful day! NO WIND, 85 Degrees out, and the water felt so good! When we got there, all the guys decided to cliff jump while the rest of us floated around in the fabulous water! I haven't been able to go play at a lake for over a year because we were in LA last summer, and then I had Ry, so I was so excited to get in the water! Ryann did not like the lake. I think the water was a lil cold for her liking. She did, however, L_O_V_E the mud on the beach! She was so hilarious! She plopped right down in it- just dug around, rubbing it all over her legs and belly, and crawling around in it! She was in heaven! That was, of course, until she tried to taste the mud-then Mommy was so mean and wouldn't let me play anymore. It was getting time to put on some warmer clothes anyways. So Daddy took her in the lake and washed her off-which did not make her very happy. After that we tried to take a picture, and Ryann was still pouting as you can see lol. It was so funny!
Then we had a fabulous bbq on the beach, roasted marshmallows, and had a grand ol' time! Mr. Cody Clinger was poking fun at me all night, so Will came to my rescue and defended my honor.........He grabbed his sling shot and launched a marshmallow at Cody, it seriously sounded like a gun shot!!! Poor Cody lol. It was so funny! Needless to say, the marshmallow was practically flat afterwords, and Cody had a big old welt on his back! Here are his battle wounds:
Anywho, we all had so much fun-it was such a beautiful night at Alcova!

Happy Father's Day to the Best Dad's in the Whole World!!!
What would we do without them??? We are so blessed to have such great Dads!!! My Dad , Ryann's Papa Randy is simply amaZing, he is my best bud, and is such a wonderful person. He is so caring (obviously, he's a nurse) and he is just so much fun to be around. The man is addicted to mtn. dew, and everytime we come to visit, he always cooks us the BEST steak and shrimp dinner!!!! I just love him so darn much!
Papa Jim is our big teddy bear!!! We love him so darn much, and we couldn't ask for a better Father In Law/Papa!!! Ryann finds him so snuggly and cuddly she can't help but fall asleep when he holds her!!!
Then we have Grandpa Ken!!! Oh how Gpa Ken loves little Ry!!! She stole his heart, and there is no sign of her giving it back!!! She loves to explore out in the yard with him!!! We love him so much too!!!
And last, but Certainly not Least....our Daddy Will!!!! We'll just call him Super Dad!!! I couldn't have picked a better man to have a family with. He is truly so wonderful!!! He wakes up with Ry at night, changes diapers, feeds her, rocks her, and LLLLLOOOOOVVVVEEEESSS to play with her. She gets so excited when he comes home, and loves to wave goodbye to him through the front window when he leaves. Everytime he picks her up she squeezes him so tight, and she absolutely loves it when he throws her up in the air!!! She is following right in his footsteps as a freespirited thrill seeker!!! But thats what we love about him, along with a million other things!!! So Happy Happy 1st Fathers Day Will, We love you so stinkin much!!! XOXO
All in all, Ry and I are a couple of lucky girls to have so many great Dads in our life, when so many ppl don't have any. We love them all so much, and hope they had a very special Father's Day!!!
Papa Jim is our big teddy bear!!! We love him so darn much, and we couldn't ask for a better Father In Law/Papa!!! Ryann finds him so snuggly and cuddly she can't help but fall asleep when he holds her!!!
