Our not-so-new-anymore house...

I've promised a couple people (Sarah) that I would put together a post with some photos of our new(ish) house.  We bought it last April and I'm just now getting around to this post.

We've loved living here so far and will probably be in this house for years to come.  Unless I can convince Ricky to move to California.  :)

It's always a work in progress.  I plan to add/change lots of things, but I have to take it slow so I don't break the bank.

Here are some pics...

Summer

My whole family gathered at my parent's home for a week and we had a blast.  Apparently, I preferred to take photos of the kids on this trip...specifically the youngest, Eliza.  Not really any photos of the adults, with the exception of some basketball photos that mysteriously showed up on my camera (not sure how those got there...Steven).

I must say that our family is blessed with some pretty darn cute kids.

 

 Isn't Kate so pretty?

 Like father, like daughter.

 And the award for best eyes goes to...Elsa!

 Miya was helping sweep the patio...cutest little sweeper ever.

 Tired eyes.

 Fish lips.

Lily is rad.

 I promise the hoop is at 10 feet in all these shots.  ;)

She melts my heart.

The Nelsons

I took some photos of my family, while we were home over Christmas.  Enjoy!

Team Ramy Update

So I was afraid if I started a blog, that I wouldn't post very often.  I guess I know myself pretty well.  We've been super busy, but I feel like we have nothing to show for it.  So I'm posting some super random stuff from the past few weeks.  Enjoy.

We went on a Halloween Cruise on the Provo River (yep, you read that right)...Ricky's face might make it seem like it was super fun...but then again, he might be faking...

I got my haircut.

We visited Ricky's nephew in the hospital after his appendix burst...poor kid didn't even crack a smile when his uncle was pulling the usual antics.

And finally, Halloween threw up on our front porch.

Whidbey Island

Last week, we camped with Ricky's family on Whidbey Island in Washington state.  I guess it's been awhile since I've had an extended camping trip...I forgot how much I love camping.  The campground was gorgeous, our campsite situated on a cliff overlooking the Puget Sound.  And Ricky's family is a blast.  We had a really great week.

These two joined us for the drives to and from Washington.  They were fantastic passengers.  

Cutest baby ever.

Father and son.

Cool bouncing tree we played on.

Some grandpa time on the beach.

Ricky is about to catch the yummy salmon we ate the next day.

Mariners game.

Just an average day hanging out in a wheat field.

Awesome hike - Ebey's Landing

Moira LOVES Ricky

He had way too much fun.

It was a great week and I can't wait to do it again.
