Easter...late as always!

I am really having a hard time with this post. This is my third time trying to do it. I had everything all typed out and then accidentally lost all of the text that I had typed. So here goes try number 3.

Anyway, we went to J's parents for Easter weekend and had a really fun time. His sister Jill just had a baby, who is adorable by the way, and the whole weekend was just very relaxing. Jason's mother had all of her siblings come over which was really neat for me since I haven't really met any of them. All of her family was really fun. Then all of J's brothers and sister at their kids came over for dinner and an Easter egg hunt. Ryker got out there had got a couple of eggs himself. He isn't quite sure about the grass so he was a little fussy, but we got some fun pictures.

Ryan, Felicia and Eli weren't there and we really missed you guys.

So here I am up at 2:30 in the morning because I can't sleep. Ryker woke up just screaming and it made me so nervous that I can't relax enough to go back to sleep. He is a bit constipated so I think he has a pretty good stomach ache. Anyway, I thought now would be a good time to post these great pics we took of him. I was giving him a bath one day when my mom came in with a bottle of bubbles. He had so much fun with them. So, when you all get a look at these tomorrow you can have a big smile on your face. :) I have also posted a few pics of Ryker on his Easter present from his grandma. We won't be in town for Easter so she gave it to him early. It is a lighting mcqueen car. It is so cute and he loves it.

Head Wound!

So last week on Monday I was at home with Ryker and my older brother Jordan was also home. I had to go somewhere with Jason at lunch time and I really needed to take a shower. Ryker was playing on my living room floor with his toys and so I asked my brother to watch him for me so that i could jump in the shower right quick. Three minutes into my shower I hear a knock on the door and Ryker crying. Jordan told me that Ryker had bumped his head, no big deal he does it a lot. After he said that I noticed that Ryker was crying in a way that I had never heard before...I knew something was wrong. I peeked out of the shower and this is what I saw...



...it was bloodier and the bump was bigger. I made Jordan leave the bathroom and I got out of the shower got dressed and took him to see if he needed to have stitches. He didn't and it is healing now. It was a crazy day.

Valentine's!

So I just wanted to tell everyone about the gift Jason surprised me with for Valentines. First off it was the best gift. It didn't cost him anything, and I had so much fun with my gift. One of my greatest friends, Heather Ward, called Jason and told him that they were coming down all the way from Canada and that I didn't know. They decided to surprise me for V-Day. It was awesome. He drove me blind-folded to her in-laws where they were staying and then she came and got me out of the car. It was so much fun. We hung out with her and her husband and there adorable children all night. We played poker with them, which we used to do in Portland. I can't believe how much seeing them made me realize that I miss them more than I thought. Thank you so much to Jason, Heather and Gannon for the wonderful Valentines Day. It was definitely the best one I have ever had. Sorry to say that my little sister was borrowing my camera so I was unable to get pictures of the event :(

Loving Burley...sort of :)

So here we are in the big town of Burley, Idaho and we are trying to adjust to the lifestyle. It has been kind of a challenge not having our own place and also being back in a small town. It has been easier for me and Ryker than for Jason. We went to the movies last night and that really made us miss Portland. There was this theater in Portland called Cinetopia and it was amazing. They have all digital projectors that make the move so much better and they also have big leather seats that are more like recliners instead of the regular movie seats. I don't mean to knock Burley's cinema because you get what you pay for. In Portland it was like 10.50 per person for the movies and snacks were really expensive. I also know that Jason is having golfing withdrawals.

Also since we have been here our precious dog Millie was violated by a stray mutt so she might be pregnant. The poor little thing was left outside by my father while she was in heat and we didn't get to her before the other dog did.

Jason's practice is up and running and growing all the time. If you know anyone in Rupert, Idaho or the surrounding areas and are in need of a Chiropractor feel free to set up an appointment at Olsen's Chiropractic Center.

To update you on Ryker he now has 6 teeth and is growing by leaps and bounds. He is always on the move and makes me very tired. He definitely has the spirit of a little boy...he gets into everything he is not supposed to. :)

So posted below are pics of the Cinetopia theater seats.

Playing with mom!

Ryker and I had a fun day. I decided to go through some more boxes and we put together a tunnel for Ryker. He liked it for a while. Anyway, here are some photos of us (mostly him) playing. I am still in my pj's cause I was cleaning all day.

Sorry it has been so long...

Well I realize that I haven't posted anything for a very long time, but I have a few good excuses. First off we have been very busy getting settled into a routine. Jason has been working on getting his practice set up, and I have been trying to get Ryker on a sleeping schedule. All of these things seem to be a success so far.

Secondly, my laptop broke and I had to get it fixed. All my pics are on it so I couldn't blog from my parents computer very well and our iMac is in the room where Ryker takes his naps so I couldn't use it either. So needless to say it has been tough to blog.

For all of you who are interested I will give you a little update. Living with my parents, although crowded, has not been as bad as I expected. Jason's practice with Dr. Olsen is up and running, and growing quickly so we are excited about that. I have started teaching dance at Julie's Danceworks and I love it. It is great to be dancing again and it is helping me lose a little weight! (definite added perk) Ryker is growing up way too quickly. He is six months old and crawling all over. He is also pulling himself up to a standing position on everything he can grab hold of. It is very cute but is quite the hand full.

We miss Portland and all of our friends very much but are quickly adjusting to our life here in the "huge city" of Burley.

Here are a few random pics for your viewing pleasure!!
