For the past Two years Ryan has become so close with all the dental students and I have had the opportunity to meet some really amazing girls!!!!! The wives of the students are so incredibly wonderful. Really an inspiration to me staying at home taking care of multiple children, cleaning home, and cooking, and many have a side business too!!!!! I became very close to a couple Ashley Clawson ( who takes our pic!!!), Mandi Furniss and recently Mckenna Seegmiller all Great gals and I adore them so very much! Mckenna is gone already :( Utah, Mandi going back to Idaho and Ash going to to Utah for a bit. I hate they are all leaving I do believe I would have had a awesome set of girlfriends to hang with all the time!!! I could cry.. I hate saying bye............

However Ryan and I are not sure where our little family will end up..... Maybe stay here or hopefully Utah for us as well!!! Wherever God wants us we ill go. Yet it would be nice to live around a lot of LDS families, so Dakota and Teagan feel its NORMAL what we believe and what we teach them. I worry about the non-believers around us trying to sway their beliefs in a wrong direction. I guess they will encounter that throughout life though. We shall see though We LoVe having our family close!!! that would be the only downside to moving. HaRd decision so we are putting it in his hands :)

Country wedding Fun



Our West Virginia trip was so much fun!!!!! We went for our friends wedding Jack and Megan Bailey, Ryan, Dakota and I were all in the wedding. The four hour ride was not so good up Teagan was crying a lot ! Did i mention she HaTeS the carseat lol.  Not only was she screaming but while I was packing the van up to leave Dakota decides to put pennies in the CD player so we did not have anything I mean anything to listen to for the Four hour DRive!!! The radio wont even work! UGH!!!!!!!! So needless to say Ryan and I had to  talk to eachother. Scary right lol!! No but it was good and good for us I really think him and I need that every now and then time that we are FORCED to sit and talk hahhaha. We arrived Friday night and stayed in the hunting cabin with the family. We had relaxing night and Saturday the FuN began.... Bounce house and tons of children for Dakota to have fun with. Had to have been 80 some odd people there good times!!! Did 4 wheeling Shot guns!! and I must say I look DaRn good shooting ;) Farkle, botcce ball?? not sure on spelling, volley ball etc. Teagan and I got plenty of naps too!!!!


It was GreAt to get away and be cut off from the world!!! NO cell service, internet, or Tv. AwEsOmEneSs and needed.
The Wedding was so beautiful it was country theme and must say it was so well put together. Jack and Megan were the most beautiful and handsome bride/grrom ever!!! Megans dress was stunning and she looked PerFect! I love these two so much and I am so happy they took the next step in life to Join as OnE!

The way home was not as bad as the way up The girls slept most of the time back and Ryan and I talked more..(Since CD player still not working) hahaha so All in all the trip was fun and a success but we will not make another trip like this while potty training at the same time that was little well VeRy FrUsTraTing!!!! but we will make more family trips because it was Some good Family time and Nice to make more and more memories!!!
