Will put other update up soon!!!

Ryan's 31st Birthday

November was Ryan's 31st Birthday .... We had a great day!! We started off the afternoon with a massage and it was great! Then we went to dinner...Dinner itself was great minus the call from our renter that there was a leak in the kitchen ceiling in our duplex...We were able to get a plumber out there but not a good present!

We then went to the movie Tower Heist ... Good movie! Even with all the updates on our duplex flood ... Then we went to Aeropostale and went home! I have not been away from the kids for this long of a time in a long time but it was great to just go and get pampered and be on a date!!

Happy Birthday Ryan!!

Halloween 2011

We hit the Ward Halloween party this year! The primary presidency planned it and they did an amazing job! Just a few pictures of our kids and their costumes rushing to get out the door!

Reese's birthday is the week of the fair!!!

Party party party!! That is what we do the day we celebrate Reese's birthday at the fair! We have so much fun, stay late and eat junk! It is really hot, hence our red faces but I still think we get more tired than the kids!

Cooper getting an idea that we would get him a motorcycle ... NOT!

Yes he picked out the size of his kettle corn ....

And no he will not share! haha

We hit all the rides we could on and had a ton of fun!!!

Carrie's parents came to town!

In August it is Grandma Sharon's birthday and Reese's birthday! My parents came to town to see the wooden boat show and hang out with us for the day! Met up with my brother too and had a good time walking around! Got to see the mini hydroplanes also!

Cake from Fred Meyers!!

Enjoying cake after we had lunch at Caddy Shack!! Love that place!

Not sure why she painted her face with the frosting ... Still cute!

Happy Birthday Reese and Grandma Sharon ... Another birthday is coming up soon!

Ryan's Mom's Dad's 90th Birthday Party!

This was in August in Pinehurst. Ryan's mom's side of the family got together and it really was the majority of them in Pinehurst as Great Grandpa Hibbert was turning 90 in November but due to weather especially in Northern Montana we probably were not going to get together for it so they had a part early!

Ryan's cousin Kenzie pregnant with #3 - holding Ryker

Ryker still not walking - that was 14 months like all the kids!

The majority of the Great Grandkids down from Bryce Hibbert

Uncle Tyler holding Ryker .... Hope you guys get a boy next they are fun!!

We love Grandpa Hibbert he is still so sharp in his mind and funny! He loves our kids and always makes a point to try to hold them and talk to them! He is very sweet and we are so grateful we have him still on the earth and spend time with him!

update: Happy Birthday Ryker and Grandma Dawn

Ryker had his first birthday this past July and his birthday is the day before Ryan's mom so we celebrated it together with the Frank Family and had a Costco cake and cupcakes.

Happy Birthday Ryker and Grandma Dawn! This is updated late so only a few more months and it will be time for another birthday!!!

4th of July

July 2011: We were the only family of the Franks down at the beach! We still got up early just like we normally do with Ryan's family but everyone had something going on this year! We both had the day off and all I wanted to do is SPEND IT ALL with my family!!!! So we packed a ton of food and sunscreen and hit the beach! There was a handful of people when we arrived but by about noon....Lots of people!! Cooper kept playing catch with these two guys (older than Ryan and I ) with their football and they loved it! Their kids were older and probably too cool for their dads but Cooper kept going and going ...We had to tell him to stop a few times and give them a break! He does have a good arm!

We stayed until about 4pm and this rude family came and seriously parked all their stuff around ours! We could hardly get to our stuff and they kept standing around the stroller where you could clearly see the baby was sleeping! Ryan and I got mad at first but tried to be the bigger person and started to talk to them and realized we needed to get our kids home to shower and get ready for fireworks! We even gave them our parking spot right above the beach instead of a 15 minute for them and all their kids....

Got home and cleaned up then headed back down with our Zips food to watch the fireworks! They were great as always!!! This year was Ryker's first year and he liked them!
