BABY BOY!!!

I've had a lot of bugged people lately when they find out I've known forever what sex the baby is. I cannot find his cute little picture but as soon as I do I will post it. But yes, we are having a BOY!!! We are really excited. I'm not quite sure what we will do with a boy. Everyone tells me he will be my little side kick just like Raiyah likes to be with Ryan. we will see. Ryan made them do a double check when they did the ultrasound just to be positive he was getting his little rugby player. :) We are excited for this new adventure. Jenn made me laugh the other day. She pointed out that Me, Jenn, and Em (we grew up our whole lives together) have all had a girl first than a boy. So, if trends keep up I will just depend on what Jenns ultrasound (in a couple of weeks) will say for the third kid. I love that all of my friends started their families before me. it's nice to know I can always call someone with a question or concern about my family.
Anyway, it's a boy. No more complaints from anyone that I didn't tell you it is a boy.

USA RUGBY GAME

We had so much fun going to the USA Rugby game! Ryan bought the tickets months ago and has been waiting in anticipation. I really enjoyed watching it as well. I don't know how anyone gets excited watching football after they've seen rugby; the game never stops. They just keep getting up and going. Love the action. Ryan was able to get his Viewmont Rugby boys to be the "ball runners" I believe they called it. They were pretty excited to be so close to such big name rugby players. Ryan also swore in for his next three years of National Guard. We both obviously have mixed emotions about that but felt like it was the right decision. It was an honor to have the General come to swear him in at the game. They decided to do it at the rugby game to show how someone in the National Guard can impact the community. I've been proud of Ryan for being in the National Guard, coaching Viewmont Rugby, and playing for Utah's Mens Rugby Team, Haggis. He loves this game!

October Update

Yes this is late but I thought I would blog Raiyah's cute Halloween pictures. She LOVES flowers and was such a cute one. Once she caught onto the idea of knocking saying "Trick or Treat please" and then you get candy she loved Halloween! It's funny how proud you can be of your little girl just for going trick or treating. I love being a Mom. What more could you ask for.

We had fun going to Grandma and Grandpa Flanders to see Raiyah's cousins dressed up and ready for Halloween.

Okay so it's been a little while. I thought I would start with October and maybe start updating our blog again. Raiyah loved carving pumpkins if you can't tell by the "grossed out" face. It was fun. And her cute frined Brinkley came and joined us for a little Fall fun. They both love being together, everyday they ask "Where is Brinkley Mommy" or "Where is Raiyah?" It's pretty cute.
