Date night??

Ryan started back on wards this month and has another crazy schedule, last week he had to work two 30 hour shifts in addition to his regular hours. So for four of the seven days we didn't see too much of him. To make the most of the situation we decided to travel down to the hospital for dinner. For the past six months our date nights have consisted of us and two now three kids having a chaotic dinner at the hospital. But really I shouldn't complain...afterall, its free and they even have a subway in the cafeteria.



Here is a picture of where Ryan has spent the last few months.


It is hard to believe that we have been in Texas for six months now and that Bryton is three months old already. We really enjoy it here and feel extremely blessed for the way things have worked out. A little update on Bryton he is still the cutest thing ever and we can't wait to show him off to the fam. when we make our debut in just a few weeks for his blessing. A few things he loves...to smile, his brother and sister, bathtime, and of course being held. Madison and Jackson love to read to him and to inform me when they think he needs something. We have all kinds of names for things for example, the burp cloth is known in our house as the spit towel, barf clop, and the latest is the wipee towel. Kids, gotta love 'em.

That is a perfect date, what are you talking about??? ;)I am sorry Ryan is gone all the time, but you are a nice wife to pack the kids up and take them all to the hospital for dinner. And free Subway! Score. That part IS awesome.

And I love the last pic of Bryton in the tub!

I'm glad things are working out well for you in Texas! Sorry about Ryan's schedule. That can sure be so tough. You're all champs for hangin in there... it will be so worth it in the end! :) I'm glad you get to come home soon to see fam for the holidays. I bet you are so excited!

Good times! That is so sweet of you to have dinner down at the hospital with Ryan. I bet he loves it!!
Bryton is so cute. I can't believe he's 3 months. They grow up too fast!!

Bryton is still so tiny!! That's good, becuase then I don't feel like I have missed out on so much. We cant wait to see you guys! We'll probably be flying home at the same time so we'll look for you at the airport!!

First of all, I am so jealous!!!! Not of the date night- of you going to Utah:) I am just hoping I will be able to go home at least once in the next five years. I really hope you have a good time. It is so fun to see what your cute family is up to. As for church, it is a joke! Someone always ends up coming to sit by me. I don't know if they feel sorry for me, or if they are just sick of hearing my kids scream!! Hope you have a Merry Christmas!!!!
