Living the Good LIfe: The birthday Party

Saturday we had our family birthday party. We went to a park nearby in Temecula and the kids played as we all chatted and enjoyed ourselves.

The Birthday cake. Renee had a friend of hers make it for the kids and she did a fantastic job! One side was for Hollie and the other was for Ethan. The kiddos loved it.

Hollie got a bike for her birthday and took off riding with no problem.

Hanging out with my bestest friend EVER!

Amanda and Hollie. Oh, how I just love this picture. There are no words to describe it.

How it all began

We are Ryan and Kerri and are California kids who now reside in Gilbert, Arizona. Ryan and I met at Lake Powell 8 years ago. Our families were in the same ward and both were invited to Lake Powell with our Bishop and their family. This is where it all began. 4 months later we were in Europe with his parents and in Paris, France Ryan asked for my hand in marriage. Ofcourse I said yes and in August 2001 we were married in the San Diego Temple. Ryan started Chiropractic school in January 2001 and has now been in practice for 6 years!
Life is great and we love every bit of it!!
We have two children, Hollie (4) and Ethan (2). They are our world and you will hear all about them. We love to brag about them and share everything we do. You will also hear about the ups and downs of life so hold on tight it may be a roller coaster ride!!

The things Hollie says and does

I told her that she was beautiful the other day and she told me, "No mom, I'm pretty". (Gotta love it)
There was a day when I was not feeling well and I was laying down upstairs and I came down to check on Hollie and she was getting into something she shouldn't. When I told her not to do that she looked at me and said, "mommy back up stairs your tummy still hurts." (Oh, my goodness gracious I did everything I could to not laugh)
'mommy, daddy tell me something" (she says this when she gets in trouble)
"mommy don't bug me" (where did she get that?)
"my mommy"
"oh my goodness gracious"
"Mom, you look stylin" Don't know where she got that, but I thought it was adorable
It's okay, No big deal. Gotta Love it.
Making Ethan a bottle all by herself (with little assistance), she is such a good mom.
"Mommy, Hollie do it." Very Famous around here
Telling Kruz (a friend), he is doing something wrong and then started counting, 1,2,3... I about died.
Changing Ethan's diaper all by herself because she "thinks" he has poops. I was upstairs getting ready and she took it in her own hands.
Mommy, I drive the car, K? Oh my goodness, we still have 14 years left!!!
Pulling me back with her hands tightly wrapped around me saying, "relax mom, relax" A moment I will always treasure. We need to take more time to relax
