Happy birthday Ryan and Hello Addy-Lee!!!!

Ryan turned 7 this week. He had a great birthday. It was actually celebrated a day early on Monday. He had crepes with pudding and whip cream and peaches and whip cream for dinner. He designed his cake himself. I tried as best I could to follow directions. Grandma was there for dinner and cake and the girls and James and I went to the Jon Schmidt concert. It was excellent. We saw lots of friends there from years ago as well as friends from several different stakes. I had a great time showing them all pictures of Addy. I guess I am already doing the grandma stuff. Although, to be honest, I was showing the pictures my mom had of Addy that I had given her. I left mine at home. So, I am learning. Thanks for bailing me out mom! On Ryan's actual birthday he had hard boiled eggs, toast, bananas, and hot chocolate for breakfast. On Wednesday all the kids ran in the all-city cross country race. They all did well. On Thursday we had pizza and a movie to celebrate cross country because on Wednesday was youth night and interview night for James. And then on Friday, James, Shuana, Katie, and Levi and I made the drive to Rexburg. Addy-Lee is soo cute and so sweet!! And her parents couldn't be happier. it was a wonderful weekend with james and the girls and now I am here with just Levi. levi thinks she is pretty cute and he has warmed up to her as in now he thinks he needs to feed her, burp her, and entertain her. When he got herre he told Shiloh he was ready to take care of addy because he knew how to take care of and hold baby rabbits.:) He has also warmed up to Scott's really nice MAC computer and thinks he needs to be using it 24/7. I am excited for the week and look forward to posting our fun on the blog next week. To Shane - I love you and Addy has a wonderful uncle as an example! Thank you.

The trip to Rexburg



The BYU I Center where Scott works (Basically a replica of the conference center in SLC). This is what he uses to control all the stuff he does. A bit intimidating!
