Here's Ryans new Address...

For all you who haven't written to Ryan in a 
while...now there's no excuse!

Elder Ryan James

10 Cambridge Dr. #3

Georgetown Ohio 45121

 

Wouldn't you like to be the reason for this happy face?!  He loves mail (P.S. the 1st one does look a little creepy, it's just the angle...I'm sure)

Only 4 months left to make up for not writing!

spring brings about changes....

Ryan got transferred!  We have no idea where he's living at the moment but we will update his address as soon as we have it!  Now for some exciting news...we are expecting quintuplets!  (the only new arrivals in our family this spring will come in the form of beautiful baby birds!)

Well, first of all, thanks to Diane, our neighbor for bringing back some moss from the trees in Georgia, otherwise, this creative bird wouldn't have been able to make a nest in our wreath...

this picture of the eggs is really cute...I was totally afraid that that mamma bird would come and peck my eyes out...I heard a little rustling of feathers and freaked a bit...totally screwing up the photo...

but I got a little more brave...

speaking of brave...look at poor Lauren---

she busted her arm falling off of her scooter!  She broke both bones in her forearm so she's going to have a cast that looks like this lovely splint (deja-vu for my when I was in 4th grade!)  At least she can get a glitter cast that's waterproof (but I still don't think that they can make a cast that doesn't smell nasty after having a shriveled little arm in it for 6 weeks...)!  Nicole, Karly and I all went to Dollartree (the best dollar store around..) and got a load full of goodies for her.  Anyway, she did start to feel better shortly after...

and, that's the spring into fun update!

Congratulations are in order!!!!

The rumors are true! We have finally set free the princess on Super Mario Bros. Wii game! It was a difficult task that sometimes proved to be more that we could bare. After many sleepless nights worrying about the princess she is home safe in the castle. Bowzer will no longer hold her captive. He proved to be a very powerful and sneaky nemesis. 

Today we bid Bowzer one final farewell. You fought a good fight, but in the end good always triumphs over evil.

Thank you to all of those who helped us defeat this monster. You were instrumental in helping us bring him to his demise. We could not have done it without you!

A few exciting things...

So Mom, Dad and Nicole along with Kiara went for a drive...ended up meeting up with Ryan's best friend Jonathan!  Dad went to Priesthood session with him, how fun!  We miss Ryan and Jonathan.  Don't worry, we took a bit of "home" to Jonathan (as suggested by his mom...) Cream of Weber Chocolate Milk chugs!  We are really proud of those missionaries!

After the long drive...they ended up at Disneyland.  Maggie and I flew and met them Easter morning...

waiting in line for Indiana Jones...

creapy Johnny Depp Mad Hatter hats come with the ugly hair...its ghastly!  I tried to have the crazy eyes, and the rest were very "shocked" at the site of themselves...

Oh, and.......I totally got my iPad!!!

It's really RAD!  I love apple, they're so smart...

Oh, and Disneyland rides were all shut down for a while due to an earthquake in Mexico...we were watching a parade so we all thought the rumbling was from really loud music.  Not to much to worry about.  Although Mom and Dad went to the grocery store to prepare...just in case (we are in California...San Andreas Fault line anyone?
