Happy Birthday Ryan

Ryan turned 2 on Tuesday! I know his cake look weird but the frosting wouldn't write good and the girls decorated it with all the cars.

Ryan loves dart guns!

The cake actually tasted really good! I mixed cool whip in the frosting and it was so yummy!

Ryan started stabbing the cake with his sword and then licking it off. It was pretty funny!

I can't believe how fast he is growing up. He has such a funny personality!

Update on New Calling

Ok, so I know I have a lot of posts today, but I wanted to update on our new missionary calling. Well yesterday was our first Sunday in our new ward. It was very different than we thought it was going to be like. It is really small and everyone was really friendly. Their primary basically doubled with my kids coming. They were so excited to have more kids there. My girls were kind of nervous but they had so much fun! We still haven't met the bishop, he has been out of town, so we don't know exactly what he wants us to be doing yet. The ward has a ton of inactives so we might be trying to reactivate. But for now I guess they just want us coming to make the ward a little bigger with our family. I will update more about it as we find out more.

Fall Is Definitely Here


I guess its finally time to get the rake out! It rained all weekend here and it was windy. This is how my whole front yard looks! The trees still have half their leafs still on it, so even more leafs will be falling!

My Girls


I love it when they are in their jammies! I swear these girls could wear their jammies all day if I let them!

ATV trip to the Mountains


These are more pictures from our ATV trip in the mountains!

The kids had fun and were so good!

Daniel made me take this picture in the mudhole, can you tell I look so thrilled to be taking a picture by myself!

Ryan got a little sleepy! Daniel rode for about 20 minutes with Ryan asleep between him and Hailey, most of the trails were really rocky and rough!

ATV trip to the Mountains



We went four wheeling in the mountains with our friends on Saturday. It was a great day, the weather was good. We had so much fun!
The Scenery was so awesome and beautiful


Notice all the tree without leafs, they used to be full of yellow ones but they all blew off, except that little patch!


The mountains behind us have little lakes, they are hard to see in the picture. Have I convinced anyone to come visit yet?! If anyone does want to come we will do fun stuff like this!

News!

I didn't have any good pictures to post from the weekend but we got some exciting news at church yesterday, that I wanted to share. Earlier last week our Stake President called us and said he wanted to meet with Daniel and I when we got to church. We figured the reason he wanted to see us was for us to be in charge of a youth activity of something. Daniel has been in the young mens for almost the whole time we have been married, so we figured it had to do with the youth, but it didn't. The stake president asked us to accept a 1 year mission call for the whole family! We will stay here but we will go to a ward down town denver for a year! The ward is really small. We feel so priviledged that they chose us. Our responsibilities will be to help however we can. We will need to help the missionaries however we can, we will need to fellowship investigators and new members, we will have callings there, too. At first I was nervous thinking how can I help I have 3 crazy kids. Daniel didn't get to go on a mission so this is our chance to make up for it. It was crazy going to church, finding out that was our last Sunday in the ward we have been in for 6 years. We got released and we had to speak in Sacrament meeting. It was a crazy day. After church we went to the new church building with our stake president to meet our new stake president, and they set us apart. I was so emotional all day, and I usually don't show my emotions like that but I knew it was right and that is where the Lord wants us to be right now. Daniel and I knew we would go on a mission someday but we thought it would be when we were old! The new church building it awesome, it is really close to down town and it is 4 stories high. It has an elevator! I have never seen a building like this. Well sorry this is so long, I know I am probably boring everyone, but I am just so excited. I know this call is to strengthen our testimonies, too. We need it! We will start going after general conference, we can't wait to get started! I will update more once we get started!
