Introducing...

Anyone who is close to me knows I spend all my time sleeping, at work, or with the boys.  (Okay I also work eat, work-out, and see family and friends occasionally). The boys are Ryan and his kids.  So a little introduction since I am in love with a family of 5 men now.  Obviously I don't want to share too much since this is the Internet, but not too many people know of this sight.  Ryan is an amazing Dad, selfless, hard working, good looking and very attentive.  In the last few weeks we have enjoyed Trafalga, camping, the drive-in, 7 Peaks, reading stories, and my favorite, having family scripture and prayer together.  It is a lot of fun, a lot of work, tiring, but mostly rewarding spending time with them!  Here are some pictures of them all (with the exception of the youngest little guy).

Aren't they so handsome?

 

Labor Day Vacation

This last week was the best!  It started with my parents taking me out for my birthday, two days before my birthday.  Then the day before my birthday I went to Cheesecake factory with Ryan, but beforehand he and the boys sang Happy Birthday to me and we ate my favorite Dunford Donuts.  Ryan was very thoughtful in his gift giving and spending time with me.  He definitely made me feel special.  I love him a lot!!!  On my actual birthday my 2 favorite things were getting to hold my nephew and having so many friends attend the temple with me.  After the temple we went back to my place and had a cake one of my friends made for me and ice cream, veggies, and grapes.  I have such awesome family, friends, and a boyfriend.

 

The next morning my friend and I drove down to St. George for a couple of days.  We enjoyed a play at Tuachan and the Shakespeare Festival and would have enjoyed another had it not been rained out.  We also enjoyed hiking, laying out by the pool, eating out, shopping, and sadly TV.  Neither of us watch TV at home so it was nice to do just that.  It was also fun to just chat, do our nails, and listen to a book on tape.  We hurried back Sunday morning in time for me to barely make my nephews baby blessing, followed by brunch and a long nap! 

 

The best part of my Labor Day weekend was spending time with Ryan and his boys.  They came over Sunday night and we had dinner, played games, went on a walk up the canyon and had scripture study together.  I can't get enough of these guys!  On Labor Day I spent 15 hours with them, mostly doing yard work, cleaning, running to home improvement stores, bbqing, and then finishing with a movie.  I love being apart of the family.  I love my Ryan a lot and I look forward to making more memories with them in the future.

 

Not all my friends were pictured, but 7 out of 9 is pretty good.

Yummy Lemon Blueberry cake

I have been wanting to go to the Red Barn in Santaquin for at least a year.
 I finally got there and was not let down by the licorice ice cream. 
They had so many yummy flavors!

Awesome stick on nails
( I meant to put these on when I went to Hawaii months ago).

Surprise!  I wasn't ready for this picture, but loved our hike above town.

 

I would live in St. George if it wasn't for 90 plus temps!

The most important place in town.  Sad it was closed when we were there.
