Pioneer Weekend

For Pioneer weekend we headed out to Provo.

Ryann was a pretty good traveler.

Daddy trying to convince Ryann it is fun to play in the fountains.

Ryann decided that Princess Merida liked the water.

It was so cute to watch Ryann play with her Princess Merida.

Making sure Merida gets a good look at everything.

Pool time with daddy.

 We visited Clint's cousin Lori and her family while we were out. They took us to a great firework display.

Ryann dancing in the field with Rapunzel, waiting for it to get dark for the fireworks.

Ryann absolutely loved and adored Hallie, and Hallie was so sweet with Ryann.

 

Ryann copied everything Hallie did.

Hallie was so sweet to entertain Ryann.

The kids all got glow sticks for when it got dark.

If you look closely at Ryann's hands you can see that they are blue. Nothing like some yummy blue cotton candy to turn everything blue.

Once it was dark we laid down in the field and watched the fireworks go off over the field. It was so fun. Thank you Lori for letting us hang out and for having such great kids.

Before we left to go back home we stopped for some Krispy Kreme donuts for breakfast.

The sign of a great trip.

Yard

At the end of April we had a sprinkling system put in our front and back yard and sod laid in the back.We have enjoyed our new yard all summer long.

Daddy making Ryann run through the sprinklers.

Ryann did not like it.

For Ryann's birthday her Grandma and Opa Oehring bought her a playhouse.

We got Ryann a little trampoline and it helped her learn and perfect her jumping skills. She also makes Sally get on and holds the opening shut so she is trapped.

Clint put in a raised flower bed along the back of the fence.

Maggie and Ryann enjoyed digging in the dirt together.

It has been wonderful being able to just open the door and let Ryann play.

Ryann has helped us keep the lawn looking good.

Ryann really enjoyed the dirt.

Steinaker Lake

I'm behind on my blogging and overwhelmed with pictures so I missed the pictures from our afternoon at the lake back in June. So here they are...

Clint's cousin, Heidi, invited us to go boating so of course we took her up on the offer. We played on the beach with Heidi and her family and Kandice and her family. Ryann loves being around all her cousins. She was a little wary of things when we first got to the beach but once her cousins arrived she warmed up to her surroundings.

Playing in a watery sand hole with daddy.

Not a huge fan of standing in water.

Taking a swim with daddy.

Ryann and Kandice hanging out in the inner tube.

One happy girl!

Going out for a ride with Daddy and Porter.

Ryann loved standing next to Porter. The ride was slow, but she loved it, just her speed.

Porter kept saying "faster", apparently Ryann's slow ride was not fast enough for that boy.

Porter and Kandice going for a faster ride.

Kandice and I went for a ride together.

We were laughing so hard that my face hurt. It was so much fun.

I got to ride with Porter and Ryann back to the beach.

The kids all had fun digging and playing in pits.
