My dream house!

So on the way home from dropping the boys off at school we drove through the neighboorhood to see my uncles old house and I found my next dream house that I want to build! Isn't it gorgeous???!!!

1st Day of School!

It is so hard to believe that I have two kids in school! One in Kindergarden and one in first grade! It is so crazy how fast time is just a flying! The boys did really good getting up early and getting ready for school (i am sure that will all wear off soon,lol). It was definatley a mad house at the school this morning, but understandable being the first day of school. Caden is going to all day kindergarden and was such a big boy this morning (the only tears were mommies on the way out to the car, poor me...lol). I just have a hard time imagining my little boy walking with his little lunch bag going to the cafeteria without me (i know I definatley need to cut the umbilical cord, lol). I know he will do fine, I just have those mommy worries! Sooo... here are some pics that we took this morning before school! I am so bummed, we were in such a hurry this morning that I forgot to get a picture with the boys :( I am already loving the uniforms....it is so nice not having to pick out clothes for them, simple and easy!

Sedona.....

So, you know your sons are "All Boy" when they would rather go fishing than go to Legoland or to the beach! We had a fun little trip planned to California to take the boys to Legoland, San Diego Zoo, and the beach this summer. They both came to us and said, "We would really like to go fishing in the mountains rather than Legoland." My husband and I were both like, " What! Are you guys sure?" (lol) I was more shocked than my husband I guess and asked them for days repeatedly, "Are you sure you guys would rather go fishing than to Legoland?" I was really looking forward to the beach mostly, but I guess the lake will do. lol. So, Sedona it was. We really did have a good time!

Fishing....

Oak Creek Canyon---Kids are ready to go fishing!


The Boys Waiting Patiently!


Still waiting patiently! lol.




After about three hours of not catching anything...we decided to headup to the Trout Farm where we could do some REAL fishing.lol


Caden's First Fish!


Jakes First Fish!


Michael and I trying to figure out how to get the hook out that the fish swallowed!



Happy Fisherman!


The next day we went to Out of Africa Wildlife Zoo. It was AWESOME! We got so close to the animals and the kids REALLY liked it alot. I would definatley recommend this place!


Jake got to hold and touch a 10 ft snake..Caden would not go near it (cant say that I blame him, they creep me out!)



The boys both got to feed the tigers and the giraffes!





We went on a safari ride....


Ostrich Eggs! They are HUGE!!!


Sooo..Big...Adysen loved the safari ride!







Tiger Splash was awesome!









The remainder of the time we just did some Chillaxin at the pool!

Projects around the Ryan Household!

We decided to frame the mirrors in our master bathroom. We were able to get my side done this weekend, but we are still working on michaels side. I love the way it turned out!



Then I got a wild hair to paint my powder room a burnt orange color. I actually like the way that it turned out though. It looks way orange in this picture and I could not get a picture of the whole room because our powder room was too tiny to take a picture of the whole area, but I am exited about it! Sp here is a rough ideal of how it turned out......


More Projects to come!

Just hanging out.....

We have just been hanging out this week. Took the kids to the pool on monday. My face got FRIED! Tuesday the boys had bowling and went and got hair cuts. Today we are just hanging out at home doing some cleaning and laundry. What's everyone doing for the 4th of July??????

So impressed with myself.....

Yes, I made this bow! I am so proud of myself especially since I am the most uncrafty person on this planet! LOL. I thought it turned out cute for my first bow! I even made the headband to attach it to!
