Down By The River Trip

We went to Laughlin last weekend with Ryan's family! We had a blast. The road trip out was awesome. We were stuck in construction traffic for 45 minutes, not moving. In 123 degree heat. I loved it. We went to Palm Springs first and stayed one night in an amazing resort so that Ryan could visit some accounts. Here is a pic of the sunset in palm springs.
Jonah did great on the ride out there...
Evidence of the seriousness of the heat wave...what the?????
Here is Jonah and Max...they were so cute together! They were inseperable and had so much fun together!
Here is a view from our hotel room in Laughlin...
Jonah loved hanging out on the river....he was a little afraid of the jetskis at first, but he came around...
Ryan and Jonah floating on the river...

Ron took us water skiing on his boat and it was so much fun! It was a little scary though, with how crowded the river was. We didn't get any pictures of us water skiing though....
To beat the heat, we went bowling one day. It was hilarious!


Here is Jonah and grandma at the bowling alley...

Even Jonah did some bowling!

Here is the rare picture of Ryan...i had to get him in here since he is the photographer of the family and is never in any pictures...he even took this pic himself...

Amanda's Wedding

We went to Amanda and Jonathan's wedding last night. It was so beautiful! They got married at Strawberry Farms and had their reception in the barn. They also had a big surprise in store for all of their guests! They broke out into a huge dance at the beginning of the reception and told everyone that their wedding was being filmed for an episode of "Rock The Reception" airing on TLC. It was a blast!We sat outside at the ceremony and there were beautiful umbrellas to shade everyone from the heat. I was fortunate enough to be able to give a reading from scripture at the ceremony.
Here are our friends, Natalia & Wil, and Isaac & Natalie...Isaac officiated the ceremony. We call him "The Man of the Cloth"...

The big, red barn where the party was!


Here is the wedding cake that I made for them. There was a huge disaster at the last second that caused me to have to bake the top tier over again 2 hours before the wedding! I was freaking out! But it all ended up turning out ok....

New Kids On The Block!!!!!!

Girl you know it's true!....oh, wait...that's Milli Vinilli.....anyway, it's TRUE! October 8th, 2008 I will be going to the NKOTB concert with Jenn and Katie! Of course, it isn't N'Sync, but it will do! This was Katie's one wish for her birthday present...so I couldn't let her down, right? It is going to be ridiculous. That's all I have to say.

Jonah Plays Ping Pong

Another day at the skate park

Ryan takes Jonah to the skate park pretty often. This particular day he went with some of the youth group kids. Jonah barely gives Ryan a chance to skate since he is always wanting a turn. If Ryan wasn't watching him the entire time, Jonah would drop into the pool by himself! He is crazy!

Here is one of the kids, and yes, his shirt says, "Party with the Posse"....AWESOME!
