Adison is 4

Adison had her birthday today and she has been so excited for this day to come for a whole month.  She has asked Ryan and I every day "how many more days to my birthday?"  She couldn't wait.  

while we were Rigby we had a little birthday cake for her and called it a party.  She was so happy!

Annette gave her a cute outfit and she loves it.  She wanted to take  a lot of pictures so she could show annette how cute she looked in it.  

We went to Arctic Circle for her birthday lunch and her and Max had a ton of fun playing on the slide.  

She wanted to have a picture of the back.  

Adison helped me make her cake and she was so happy.  She had a hard time deciding what she wanted and it changed a lot.  I am glad she didn't change her mind after it was done. 

After we sang happy birthday and opened all the presents we went to the gym and went swimming with all of Ryans family.  Swimming is her very favorite thing to do and she was so excited to have all her family there to swim with her.  

Max has never loved getting in and the water was cold so I didn't think he would want to get in but he loved it.

As you can see Max LOVED It.  He was so happy and so cute.  I should have taken my suit…. I thought I would be watching him out of the pool the whole time but I thought wrong.

Adison is such a good big sister.  She went on a birthday date today with Grandma Harris and Max and I missed her so much.  He was so board without her.  She is so full of life and such a happy girl.  She loves to play and pretend to be a princess.  She is really funny and says and does things that really make you laugh hard.  She seems to be older than four sometimes but I think it is because she is watching her older sisters and learning from them a lot.  She has really started to love to learn her letters.  She can sit and write a lot of them on paper and she says she is doing her homework.  I got her a few leapfrog movies for her birthday so she can learn the sounds and we will see if it keeps her interested in learning them.  I am so grateful for my sassy little four year old and I love her so much.  I don't know what I would do without my princess Adison.  Happy Birthday!!!  I love you

date night

While we were in Idaho Falls for the basketball tournament we went on a double date with Annette and Rob.  It was so fun to go out and laugh about anything and be with Adults for a little while.  We went to dinner and it had a hour wait so while we waited we went and toured Robs work.  After dinner everyone wanted ice-cream so Ryan got his favorite treat from Baskin Robins.  He was so happy!  After that we went to the "Rest home" and hung out with Chris for about a hour.  It was good to see him, and he looks so much better than he did after his last surgery.  He isn't loving the place he has to stay and the people helping him are a little rude.  I have a feeling that six weeks are going to go by very slow for him.

Mr. Max

  Cute little boy on a pink four wheeler .

Why is it, that everything this little boy does is so cute.  I love watching him learn new things and do things for the first time.  He is so smart and can do anything he wants.  

He really wanted his blanket out of his bed… and he did it.

He picked up the phone and put it to his ear and said, "hello"  he is such a smart little boy.  

Max and I have been sick for the past few weeks and we are both getting so sick of it.  He is such a good boy and hasn't been bad at all….(except at night)  We have had a few nights that we couldn't sleep a whole lot but I pray that we are at the end of the sick bugs.

I have loved watching Alexis play on this team this year.  It has been so fun to see Ryan coach them and to see how much she has improved.  She is so athletic and such a little super star.  I love it when you can tell her what to do and watch her light up and go and get it done.  She has done great.  They had a lot of early morning practices before school and lots of fun games.  They played in two tournaments and the took third in the Bear Lake torn. and they took second in the Sugar Salem one.  (they really could have gotten first and I am so sad they didn't')  

Ryan did a great job coaching this year and had so much patience and did a great job.  He had Jeff Ware help him and they were great together.  I don't think he could have picked anyone better.  

Such a great group of girls and great friends.  I am going to miss basketball…..
