Fun Homes Videos

Here are just a couple of videos that we took of the kids over the last 3 months that I wanted to share (especially with the grandparents)

Dane taking Roxy for a spin at Ryan's sister's house. They have an amazing basketball court in their house that Dane will just do his own thing in for hours!






Dane discovered a new game....only we weren't around to catch him the first time he decided to do it! Luckily he didn't run into anything or go into the road (He knows never to do it without us to catch him now)



Johnny wanted in on the fun!

Athens

People watching! Both of my boys have been fearless climbers and this little nugget is no different. No matter how many times she falls off of the couch or love sac onto her face, she continues to climb them without thinking twice.
Probably not the best approach at going down the stairs.

View from the freeway. We live about 2 min from this beautiful walking/bike path. It's a golf course and practically Ohio University's campus.
This is a little lake that is pretty close to our house. It has a sandy beach and rental boats.









We went to a pool last week and the boys had a blast being back in the water since they practically lived in the water when we lived in Arizona.




















Anytime I give the boys pretzel sticks, they put them inbetween their fingers and pretend to be Wolverine. They have started to do it with pretty much anything and everything that will make them look like the Wolverine claws.




Johnny's face cracks me up in this picture.




We are always spotting deer in our backyard and they are not afraid of people which makes me find of nervous. I also saw a wild turtle in our backyard (Ryan thinks it was a snapping turtle), and we see groundhogs all over town which is so crazy to me.




Lots of new choppers

Simply Irresistable

There is something about Roxy that Johnny just finds irresistable.

Is it her cuteness?

Is it her giggles?

Is it her screaming?
Is it her baby scent?
Or is it just that she makes a good horse?????

He won't keep his hands OR feet off of her!

Whatever it is-We all find her pretty irresistable!!!

Homeless

I am just now getting caught up on my blog. I have been putting it off long enough and wanted to get some pictures up of the fun that we had between graduation and moving to Ohio. We were able to have some fun staying at my sister's home, my parents home, Ryan's parent's home, Ryan's sister's home and enjoyed many fun activities, receptions, reunions, parades,...etc...along the way:)

Nope Johnny is NOT potty trained, he just enjoys hanging out on the pot like Dane...We walked past the bathroom and found him like this with a huge wad of toilet paper in his hand.





On our LONG drive to Utah, I had all the kids and Ry was in the other. We had made it almost to my parents house without any mishaps when Ryan, of course, got pulled over. I kept driving bc I was so sick of being in the car and knew that there was nothing I could do for him anyways. My back was killing me, I was wondering how much Ryan's ticket was going to be, and all of my kids were at their breaking point. I tried to buy myself some quiet time so I handed a chocolate milk to johnny. When he said "gall gone mom" I look back to grab the empty carton and this is what I see!!! PURE DISASTER!! I know it was not the smartest idea to trust him with the chocolate milk in the first place but at this point I didn't care, he was happy, so I was happy!
They just opened up a new Rec center with an awesome pool in Cedar City which we headed to a couple of times during our stay in S. Utah.
We attended a wedding reception for Ryan's cousin in the beautiful mountains.

We stayed at Ryan's sister, Linsey's, house which is always a good time. Seriously my kids love her house! All of the fun cousins, spending hours in their basketball court, swimming, snow cones, playground in their backyard. Their house is just a big fun house and they are such fun people:)



Dane had a blast playing with his cousin Theo. (it is actually ryan's cousin's son-whatever that makes them) These 2 are so cute together bc Ryan and Jerry are almost the same age and best buds growing up and now their 2 boys (that look exactly like a mini Ryan and mini Jerry) are becoming such great friends.
Jerry's wife, Crystal, and me.
These boys are convinced that they are like long lost SUPERHERO brothers of something.
Jerry was kind enough to take all the kids on motorcycle rides which made my boys' year!

We got to visit with great grandpa Rex.
Dane liked Grandpa Rex's hat
We hiked Bridal Veil Falls. I have never seen Utah so beautiful. The mountains were the greenest that I have ever seen them. I could not get over it.

potty break....


My grandma turned 90 and for her birthday we had a huge family reunion. Everyone was there except Ry was already working in Ohio so we missed him:(. It was so much fun seeing everybody and everyones kids. The only pictures I got at the reunion are the ones that the photographer took. Notice I am a single mother in this family picture.

Weston Family- my whole family minus Ryan:(
Everyone! My grandma, all of my mom's siblings and all the cousins.
