We Finally Did It!!

Well, we finally finished! Ryan and I are officially PADI Certified! To those of you who don't know what this is, it means we are certified scuba divers. Now we can go on all those many warm, tropical trips we have planned and scuba dive to see the wonders of the ocean. I did tell Ryan though, if I see a shark, eel or octopus, I am out of there! Hahahaha, yea right, we have no trips planned but we are definitely more prepared than we were last month if we were to go and scuba dive! Wahoo!!!

Sunday fun with the Zander-mander!

Well, we just wanted to post some freaking cute pictures of our nephew Zander and the fun Sunday times we have with him.....here we go....

Zander was obsessed with my toes for some reason. He would not leave them alone.

Zander loves his Uncle Ryan and loves to tease him. It's ok, luckily Uncle Ryan loves him just as much and plays along.

Close up GQ shot. I love this one.

Just hangin' out....

Zander got a hold of Uncle Ryan's watch and sure loved to chew on it.

I love this picture of these two. I think it really portrays their relationship with each other. They sure to love each other.

Lookin out the window to see what's going on outside.

Zander was flying like an airplane. He really liked that.

Again, just hangin out.....

Ok, so here is the story. One Sunday after dinner, Zander decided he wanted some of my water. The cup was almost completely full. He thought he would turn it into this fun game of drink then stop, spit, drink, stop, spit, etc.....it was hilarious to watch him drink it out of the cup. In the end, he got so excited about things he hit the cup and spilled water into Uncle Ryan's lap. He laughed really hard. It was adorable.

He hasn't quite got the concept of drinking out of a cup yet, he thinks the cup will come to him....

Trying to drink more water. I kid you not, Zander drank almost this whole cup of water.

He was trying to get to the ice in the cup with his hands.

Again, trying to understand the concept of the cup. Wherever I would move it, he would go with it.

Trying so hard to not get water everywhere. It didn't work, water was everywhere but it was sure worth it.

Zander trying to hold the cup himself.

Drinking again, this kid doesn't stop!

For some reason, Zander loved his sock a lot that day. He would constantly be shoving it in his mouth whenever he got the chance. Yummy!!!

Smiling big for the camera.

Well, as you can see we have one of the cutest nephews ever along with our Nephew Tybin and soon to be Nephew Jackson. We also have the two cutest nieces ever, Journey and Oakley and can't wait to see them in June and take tons of pictures so we can show them off too! We sure love you all and are proud to be your Aunt and Uncle!

Just a little update....

Well, pretty much our lives are the same as always. Just wanted to share some fun moments that have happened this past week. Ryan had been telling me for the last month to make sure I got Saturday April 3 off. I constantly kept asking why but I did what a good wife does and did what he asked me to do. For the whole week before he kept saying he had fun plans for Saturday and told me it would be really fun. The night before he said I had to be ready to go at nine thirty. Now I was getting really suspicious because Ryan never makes plans that detailed but I just went along with it. Well, I got up a little before nine and asked if it would be ok if I was ready by ten. He said it would be. So I got ready and was waiting for him and he was just taking his time. I started wondering what he was up to. He kept asking me to do random things. Well, ten o'clock rolls around and the door bell rings! Ryan said I had to get it. Not thinking anything of it I went and answered the door. To my surprise, guess who it was???? David and Ashley! I was so excited!!!!! They had come to visit for the weekend! Ryan and David had apparently been planning this for a long time. They had come to visit for my birthday. It was such a great surprise for me. I was so happy. We just hung out all day and did what we do best and shopped. Of course we had to hit some restaurants that Ashley had been craving. We made homemade oreos and just spent all day together. It was a blast! Thanks David and Ashley and little Jackson for coming for a visit. We really appreciated it! Sorry, I didn't get any pictures..... On Sunday we enjoyed a fun family easter dinner with my family. We went to Alison's and had good food and played good games. It was so much fun. Thanks guys! Then on Monday Susan called and said that our friends were getting together at her parent's house to watch the game. So of course I obliged due to the fact I had not seen them in forever! I was ecstatic to see them again. Well, I walked in and there was a birthday cake for me! They sang Happy Birthday to me and we had yummy treats! I have the best friends in the world! Thanks guys! We had a great weekend and just wanted to thank everyone for it! Oh yea, I can't forget about Paris! Guess what? We got a new bed! It is a Paris brand or something like that. I just call it Paris! It is AMAZING! We have a hard time getting out of bed in the mornings. It is a king so pretty much it is taking over our room but it is worth the comfort and good sleep it provides us. I think Ryan may love it more than he loves me :) Well, that was our fun weekend full of awesome surprises! We hope everyone else is having a great week and we are just awaiting the arrivial of March 8th when Ryan graduates!!!
