The Entertainment Center

I have pictures of this thing two and a half years ago and older. It is in our home. You are all welcome to come take a gander at it. I am truely amazed at how absolutely gorgeous it is. Thank you to all who made it possible. Ryan's family worked endless hours on this. I truely appreciate you guys and gals! We are enjoying it very much.

Done Dun Done

Ok...so for those of you who have waited as anxiously as I have. It's true the Entertainment center is finally done and in my house. Three years and it is complete...Thanks to Eric. I can't believe how beautiful it turned out. It was worth the wait.

Ry you do great work!

Family Tradition

We started a family tradition over the last couple of years to go eat at Garcia's when it's a birthday! They're so nice to you on your special day. The food's great, they sing to you, the hat's fun and the fried ice cream is yummy.

Marli has been waiting for months for her B-day. She wanted to go to Garcia's. When we got their she told everyone it was her Birthday. She kept asking when are you going to sing to me. Then the time arrived. She was embarrased and tried to hide under the table. We couldn't believe it. What the? She's such a goofball.

Happy Birthday Miss Marli

Look at me, me, me....I'm 3, 3, 3!!!!!

My baby is 3! Happy Birthday sweetheart!

Finally...they sleep!

After a very long day....Ryan managed to get these photos of the kids. He said Marli had her arm around Jake. The flash must have woke her up because she then put her blanket over both their heads.

Park City, Utah

We went away to Park city as a family. The weather was beautiful. We really enjoyed being together just the four of us.

Ryan and the kids really wanted to go on the alpine slide. I tried to be brave. The kids laughed their heads off when they could see how nervous the chair lift made mom.

The alpine slide in P.C.,Ut.

Those blue things are the sleds you ride down the mountain in. There's an awesome track that has two lanes. Marli rode with mom and Jacob went with Dad. The girls smoked the boys. My daughter has way more Ryan in her than I ever imagined. She laughed all the way down. When I tried to slow down with the brake she pushed my arm away. She had that sled going full speed.

These two are walking down the path from the chair lift to the starting point of the slide ride. They're so adorable! I love them both.

This is a picture of the resort we stayed at.

Main street in Park City

We found this restaurant on the main street in Park city. The food was so delicious we ended up eating there twice.

I put the boys in charge of getting everything loaded up to take to the car. Jake helped his dad get almost everything on the luggage cart. I coul

dn't believe just how much "stuff" we acumilated in four days.

Jake and I went in the Harley shop. I had to take this picture for Papa Bill. We actually found a couple neat Christmas presents in that little shop. Jake was so cute in the store picking out certain items for different family members. As we were getting ready to leave he told the lady that owned the store that we would have to go to a different store to buy stuff for his Mom and Grandma Bette. How did he know that? Don't worry he took me to the outlet mall and we found plenty for his mom. He is really fun to shop with. He thinks of everyone. He's got a great heart.

Game on!

The resort we stayed at had an entire floor for the kids. Jake was in gameland heaven. He played air hockey and drove a Hum V race game. What a fun time with dad.

RRRRRR!!!!! Ahoy there matey!

AHOY There Matey! Jacob got this cool pirate puzzle for his B-day. We put it together for family home evening. It was a blast. I was so impressed with Jake and Marli knowing were to put all the pieces. Ryan & I just sort of supervised it has over 100 pieces.
