We're on our way!



Well we are officially moved out. We had to be out of our apartment by today so we have been working hard to get things packed up and cleaned. It was a very busy weekend and we are all exhausted (my mom came up to help us pack and clean-she basically cleaned our entire apartment! THANKS!) We packed up our stuff into some pods and they are being moved to Kansas-they should get there Monday so Ryan and his dad can unpack them and put it all into our new apartment. I wish I had some photos I could put up of our moving fun, but our camera is broken so we didn't get any photos.
A couple of my friends threw me a baby shower on Saturday, and it was SO much fun. We just invited a small group of friends over and I had such a great time. It was fun to just talk, laugh, play games, and eat. I am grateful for all the friends I have made in Rexburg and thank them for the good memories they left us with. I got some really cute baby stuff-I am SO SO excited to have a girl now. I was excited before-but after getting all these really cute things I am super excited!!

I am now at my parent's house with Carson for a week, and then we will fly out to Michigan and visit Ryan's parents for a few weeks before getting to Wichita. Ryan and his dad and currently fishing and camping-one last fishing trip. They are fishing all day today and tomorrow and then will come down to Utah on Friday and spend the weekend with family. They will then drive all the way to Wichita on Sunday, and get there in time to unpack everything Monday and Tuesday before they fly out to Michigan to be with the family. It should be a fun trip for them! We sure appreciate Ryan's dad for all his help.
We look forward to our new adventures, and are excited to see what Kansas will be like-I've never been there so I hope it is a good surprise!

Fishing Trip

Yesterday morning Spencer Buie and I went fishing. We went to a spot that we had been to a number of times, except this time we decided to head down stream a little bit. It ended up being the most successful fishing trip yet. With our powers combined, Spencer and I caught over 70 fish!! Seriously. About 2 hours into fishing Spencer was like, "My arm is getting tired from pulling in fish." So yeah, it was a good day. We ended up bringing a couple fish home. I took Carson over to see what we caught. I think he was a little freaked out at first but it wasn't long before he wanted to stick his hands in get all fishy. The fish were delicious by the way. I'm gonna miss fly fishing when i leave Idaho. Don't get me wrong, i am way excited to get out of Idaho... the fishing is what i will miss.

Batter Up!

Last week Tiffani and Carson went down to Utah to visit family. I decided to stay in Rexburg so that I could spend some quality time on the river. While Tiff and Carson were in Utah, they had an early easter celebration and Carson got his first baseball bat. I was afraid that he was too young and that he would have a difficult time hitting the ball. Boy was I wrong. It is almost too dangerous to play in the house... the video should explain. Also, here are a few pictures from Their exciting week in Utah.

We're Moving...Kansas here we come

Last week Ryan had a job interview in Wichita, Kansas with Spirit Aerosystems. He got a call back on Monday and was offered a job as a design engineer with the company. We are excited to start a new phase in our lives...a phase that includes having some money!
The thought of going somewhere new is a little bit scary, but I am ready for the challenge. We are excited to get out there and find a place to live, and check out the area. I have been wanting to move south for a long time, and get out of so much snow! We aren't sure when we will be headed to Kansas-if we will go before or after the baby is born, but it will be before July!

Shake ya Booty

Yesterday we were in the middle of making cookies and Carson decided that it was time to shake his booty...and sing "shake ya booty" over and over again. I was able to catch the tail end of his dance on video (see video below). I really don't know where he learned that. Unless Tiffani shakes her booty during the day, i don't know! I must say that Carson has some pretty nice moves. I think he got the moves from me (Ryan).

I've been tagged

Gena tagged me a couple weeks ago so I guess it is time to answer back!

How long have you been together? We have been married just shy of 4 years now (WOW) but we have known each other for almost 5.

How old is he? 27

How old are you? 24

Who eats more? Right now, being pregnant, probably me...sometimes I think Ryan is trying to be anorexic.

Who said "I love you" first? Ryan told me he loved me one night after a date-I told him a few days later.

Who is taller? Definitely Ryan! How am I supposed to wear 4 inch heels with someone shorter than me!

Who sings better? Me.

Who is smarter? I'm going to have to say Ryan. He is an engineering major after all. I've got a smart business and mother mind though.

Who does the laundry? Mostly me, but Ryan will help fold clothes if I don't get to it during the day.

Who does the dishes? Mainly me-Ryan helps when he can.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Ryan does right now because I don't like the side table he purchased.

Who pays the bills? Ryan makes the money to pay the bills-I actually pay them.

Who mows the lawn? Right now we live in an apartment so we don't take care of that. But someday when we have our own lawn I will be the one to mow it! I have a passion for mowing lawns-maybe someday I'll start my own business. I love the smell of fresh cut grass!

Who cooks dinner? I cook on the nights I don't work. The other nights Ryan usually does. (sometimes I make things to heat up later)

Who is more stubborn? Thats gotta be me.

Who kissed who first? It was really awkward and I'm not totally sure.

Who asked who out? Ryan asked me to go putt-putting, but it rained so we played lazer tag instead!

Who proposed? Ryan of course.

Who is more sensitive? Me...especially right now with the hormones.

Who has more friends? I'm really popular so I definitely have more friends-just kidding! I don't know!

Who has more siblings? I have 5, Ryan has 3.

Who wears the pants in the relationship? We both do-it is a big pair of pants!

Who are you tagging? Katie & Daniel, Jane & Rick

Tiffani-the soccer star!

I thought my first item of business should be a fun story about me. So last night we are getting ready for bed and one of Carson's big balls is sitting in our hallway-I thought I should move it so we didn't trip over it later. I make my first attempt to kick it out of the way with no luck-the ball doesn't move. So I kick again, but my foot gets stuck on the ball and I start to fall. My foot hits to floor and I think I'm good so I start to kick the ball with my back foot which also kicks my front foot off the floor again thus sending me toppling over the ball and down on the floor. The only thing Ryan can do is laugh...good thing I wasn't hurt! We had quite a good hard laugh-luckily we didn't wake up Carson! So if anyone ever needs a sub for their soccer team I am trained and ready to play!
