As promised

Here's the picture of us last week after our ride. (Me, Pearl, Sarah, Becca)

Last Week

Thought I'd post a little about what we've been up to over the last week.

My Parents and Anna went to California to see Henry and help out Phil and Nicole.

We now have a niece and a nephew! Henry's already 2 1/2 weeks old!

We stayed home and with Ember and Recon. We took them to Bridal Veil Falls on Saturday.

Recon was timid of the water and Ember jumped right in, shouldn't it be the other way around?

Recon has been a little menace lately, he tore my parsley, basil and rosemary out of their pots and shredded them to pieces. But look at his little "innocent" face, it's hard not to be mad.

Recon had his third puppy class, we go every Wednesday night.

He even has a girlfriend, her name is Kinta and they can't leave each other alone.

Kinta is a Brittnay Spaniel, she's so cute

He also has a friend named Charlie, He's a Mastiff and is way bigger than Recon! Sorry I didn't get a very good pic of him.

On Saturday morning I went horseback riding with my friend Pearl and her sisters. We went out to their ranch in Payson. When we were growing up, we would be out there every day in the summer. We would wake up early in the morning and do work around the Ranch and then later we would play and ride horses. It was so much fun. I can't remember the last time I went riding, it's been way too long. I love horses so much, one of my goals in life is to have a few of my own someday. Pearl's dad took a picture of us, so I'll have to get it from him and post it.

I had to post these pictures...

This is Pearl and I out at the ranch when we were probably like 15ish

This is me with my horse Legacy, Pearl's dad let me call him my horse:)

I loved riding him!

Other than that, we had a pretty good week. We both worked a lot and got some projects done around the house. I'm looking forward to having this next weekend off, we are planning on going on our first camping trip of the year!

Ryman

I just had to write a little somthin about my hubby and tell you all how proud I am of him. The thing that attracted me the most when we first started dating was that he had so much ambition. He has always treated me so well and I am blessed to have him in my life. He is such a hard worker and he has been doing so awesome in school. Ryan applied for an internship at Geneva Rock in the office with the head estimator this spring. We found out last week that out of 177 applicants, Ryan was the only one picked to fill the job! He started work on Tuesday and is doing really well. Ryan is not one to brag so I have to do it for him. He has his own desk/cubicle, company phone, two cars to drive, flexible hours and even a secretary! The best thing is that he can actually sleep in and come home earlier and he doesn't stink! When he runs equipment he comes home filthy and has to jump right in the shower. He also has Fridays off, so we are going to have lots of time this summer to go on camping trips! I'm really excited about that because when he runs equipment he works such long hours and is so exhausted over the weekend, we hardly get out to do anything. He still has a few years left in school, but with this job he can still take a few credits over the summer and get ahead. I am just so proud of him, he really is amazing. I am such a lucky girl. I tend to be a little too serious sometimes and Ryan really keeps me grounded, he is so light hearted and loves to have a good time and be goofy. I know that he loves me and would do anything for me. I call him my hero, he came into my life at a time when I really needed him and he has changed it forever. I love him with all my heart and I know we'll be together forever!

And as for the other man in my life...

He has gained half his weight since we got him a month ago! We started puppy classes a week ago and he is doing so good at training, he's the head of his class! He has developed a little fetish with the bathtub though, he's so funny, we always catch him in it. 

Henry

Our new nephew Henry was born this morning at 5:25 am. He weighed 8lbs 11oz. We are so excited, he is so adorable. We can't wait to go to Cali to see him! Congratulations Phil and Nicole!

Bees

When we bought our house, the sellers told us that in one of the large tree trunks in the backyard there was a big bee hive. They said that every year the bees come, but for some reason last year they never did. We have been hoping that they would come back, but we haven't seen anything. We took some pictures about a month ago of the old hive inside, but no bees. Yesterday when I came home from work, Ryan took me to the backyard for a surprise. There were hundreds of bees everywhere, swarming around the tree! It was awesome to see. So now we have a huge active beehive in our backyard! The sellers told us they never had any problems with any bee stings and they had two little girls that played in the backyard all the time. I think it's really neat, especially after the disappearing bee scare a few years ago.

Heres what the hive looked like about a month ago

Here's what it looks like now
