This week at the Rice house

So this week was a interesting and fun week. We started the week with my birthday on Monday. I just spent the hanging out with Ryan and then decided to go look for a new shirt to wear on my birthday. Well didn't find anything which made me sad so we went to McDonald's and got some fries and ice cream to make the trip better. Ryan got to play on the slide and he had lots of fun. Then we went home and Chris brought me flowers , a card and and Ice cream cake so I didn't have to make my own. It was great, we dropped Ryan off at his friends down the way to play and we went to a movie and dinner. It was nice to have a night out on our own for once. On Wednesday it was Ryan friend Hayden's birthday. So we went to the splash park and had a picnic there. Ryan loves to play with Hayden and his little brother. They had lots of fun in the water and then they got to go on a carousel ride. We had a fun day. We got an invitation for one of Chris good friends from high school that was getting married on Friday in Logan. He couldn't get the day off to go to the wedding so we decided to jump in the car and drive to the reception in Logan that night. We left a little before six and got there a little after eight. We got to visit and be there for him for a little while. It was nice to be there and support him on his day. Then it was back home. We didn't get home till 12:30. What a long drive. We had fun doing something different. Saturday we went on a bike ride and rented a movie to watch. It is nice to be able to ride your bike anywhere in town. The only pictures I got this week are of Ryan playing with his friends the twins, Kenzie and Gaby. They were taking turns on the stroller and pushing each other up and down the sidewalk.

Our family happenings this week

So nothing real exciting has happened to us these past couple of weeks so I decided to just write and tell you the not so exciting things that have happened. This pregnancy is harder than I could ever expect. I would rather have a full time job then take care of a 2 year old and clean my house. Right now Chris is doing the dishes that have not been done since earlier this week because I don't have the energy and smells are really bad. My house is a disaster and I hope this ends soon. Sorry I am not trying to make this an outlet for complaining. Anyways we invited my nephews over the other night and we took them to this place in St. Anthony that is by the lake. They roped off a section that you can swim in and they had a water slide and diving bored. The boys and Chris had lots of fun. There is no way I am getting into a swimsuit so I just took pictures and watched from the sidelines. They had lots of fun. I am also trying to wrap my head around turning 25. Where did the time go, it seems like I just turned 21 and now I am married, have 1 kid and one on the way wow how time flies.

Family Reunion

So I haven't updated in a while with anything really fun. We went to my family reunion in Bone Idaho a couple of weeks ago. We had lots of fun. My brother and sisters had our own campsite and we mostly just sat around the fire pit, talked and ate. There was a lake with a rope swing and Chris loved to play on that. Ryan tried the lake a couple of times but was a little scared so he would rather play with his older cousins. The theme of the reunion was Pirates so we had lots of fun things to do with that. Ryan loved the outdoors and being able to play with the other kids.

Quick update!

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. Our computer decided to stop working on us and so I have been out of the loop. I finally got it back today, so I am trying to get caught up with what is happening in the world. I will have to update you later on the things we have done since the last time. For those of you who haven't found out yet, we are pregnant. We are really excited and scared all the same time. I have been really sick lately, but I am surviving. I will post more in the next couple of days.

HAPPY 4th of JULY!

I wanted to say Happy 4th to all. We had a really great weekend. Chris had to work at a booth for a couple of hours so Ryan and I set up our chairs in front of the booth so we could see the parade. The parade was fun, but Ryan was more interested in everybody's dog that was there. After the parade we stayed for a little bit and watch Chris worked, then Ryan and I went home to pack. We then headed to Boise. We got there just in time to go to the barbecue at Chris' grandma's house. It was really good and we had fun. Then we went to our friends apt. and rode our bikes from there house to downtown Boise to the park and watched the fireworks. Ryan loved playing with there little girl Kenzie. So all this was very fun, but dumb me forgot my camera, so you will just have to imagine our fun weekend in your mind. I am kicking myself for forgetting it. Oh well!!

We went Camping

We left saturday morning and went up by Island Park to go camping. We had lots of fun. We went to the Reservoir and saw all the boats that were out having fun and then we drove up to sawtelle mountain. It was kinda scary and we didn't realize how steep and scary that drive was. It was beautiful and the snow was still melting, so there was at least still 2 inches still up there. Then we went back to camp and got swimsuits and Chris took Ryan swimming. Ryan was a little weary of the water until Chris took him by the hand and walked out with him. I think he liked throwing the rocks and sticks in the water more. Then it was back to the campsite for dinner, Chris got ready to go fishing. Ryan and I went with Chris and while Chris was fishing I took Ryan to Big Springs to see the fishes and ducks. Ryan loved this and didn't want to go. We then took Chris somewhere else to fish by Mack's inn so Ryan and I went to the Ice cream Parlor and had some Ice cream. We then sat in the car and watched a movie until Chris was done fishing. Going to bed was horrible, Ryan would not fall asleep until way late and then ended up in bed with us. We woke up and decided to get going home since we were all tired. We had lots of fun and hope to go camping again a couple more times this summer.

Grandpa and Grandma Rice Visit

We had Chris' parents come visit us for a couple of days. Ryan loves it when they come and play with him. On Sunday we decided to get out of the house and go to a park by our house. Ryan loves to play at the park. We had lots of fun playing on the slides and rock wall that they had.
