Lots of posts...

Here we go with another 4 months of posts. I would be here all day if I really posted everything, so I just picked some of my faves! We have been super busy. I started doing eyelash extensions. It has been really fun. I never thought I would do something like this, but I find it really relaxing.
Spencer got a job offer back in Phoenix at the Lewis Prison. He isn't really excited about working in a prison, but he has found a new love for forensics and the tuition reimbursement is incredible. So it looks like we will be making another move in the summer. The kids are super excited to be with their cousins again, and we are so happy to get away from the snow, and be back with some of our favorite people ever!
Maddy is starting soccer and Talan is starting tee ball. We are so excited to see Tal do this. He is AMAZING at tee ball. Those other kids better watch out!
Hopefully it won't be another 4 months before I post again! Enjoy!

Happy Birthday RyRy...

We have a tradition of breakfast in bed on your birthday. We'll I was sooo tired and I figured Ryan is only two so I slept through it. He doesn't really understand yet, right!?!? I know that's horrible. So I made pancakes shaped like the number 2 after I woke up, I feel like I redeemed myself.

When we tell Ry to smile for the camera we always get this sweet face. I love it!


He picked out a Baa (spiderman) cake.

He got a basketball hoop. We have a bigger one that he always tries to play on, but can't quite make it. This is perfect for him. He is in heaven! Check out the slam dunk!

So..... the next day... as he and Talan are playing Spiderman on their beds, Ryan hit the corner of one of their sharp cornered crappy Ikea beds ( I knew it was going to happen one day... these beds are ridiculous) and cut a huge gash right over his eye. I was in the other room and Maddy came in screaming. I seriously thought someone was dead by the way she was screaming. So I put them in the car, go pick up Spence at work and head over to the ER. Then Maddy tells us she's going to pass out, so we tell her to lie down and drink some water. We look back a minute later and she is gone. We started yelling her name and no response. She woke up a second later totally shaky. It was so sad. She was a little dizzy for a while and then she felt better.
He was amazing for the numbing shot but when they wrapped him in the papoose he lost it! I was in the waiting room with the kids and we could hear him clear out there. It was the hardest thing ever to hear my baby screaming and I couldn't go hold him. He ended up with 2 stitches underneath and 4 on top. Poor little guy. Definitely an eventful Birthday weekend!

Magic Show

We went to the Children's Museum and they were having a magic show, so we decided to check it out. The magician asked for a volunteer and Maddy was picked! She did an awesome job.


He dressed her up in leopard attire, which was perfect cause that's Maddy's fave! Then he started the show.

And then she took her final bow. We have a little magician!


Our little Cheerleader

Maddy started cheerleading for the Calvary Church in January. Her friends from school were all doing it and her best friends mom was the coach. She had so much fun. They learned 3 half time routines and tons of cheers. Hopefully we can figure out how to download videos on here so you can all check her out.

Her Squad
Chloe, Baylie, Keyana, Maddy, Junie,
Katelyn, Jordan, Michaela, Hannah

And sweet little Ryan loves basketball!
