May Visitors...

We are so fortunate to have great families. In May Ryan's parents and brother Brett came down to spend some time with us, and like usual it was great. It's always fun to have some company to help celebrate a holiday....we enjoyed a good barbecue on Memorial Day but unfortunately I didn't get any pics. to document it. Ryan, his Dad and brother made it to a few ball games during the week and thanks to Ryan's Mom for watching the kiddos I even made it to one. The guys also did some site seeing but the girls (and Bryton) just got to relax at home...which was sooo nice! Ryan had to work most of the time his family was here but I sure enjoyed having some good company and a lot of extra help. Thanks again for the visit and all you guys do for us we sure love and miss you!


More packages from my family...thanks guys your the best! We are using our new lunch boxes today.


The kids loved having Uncle Brett around to play with.


Bryton just chillin with Grandpa.




Here we are at the Yankee vs. Ranger game. First off I have to say that this is a horrible picture but after much contemplation I decided to go ahead and swallow my pride and put it our there for the whole world to view just to document the occassion. The game was a lot of fun....but then again I am a huge baseball fan. When we got there the game was delayed due to severe weather conditions. It was a huge down pour for about 20 minutes...if that, but the game was almost two hours late in starting. Ryan had to be up at 5 the next morning for work so we had to leave early but I guess it ended up being a close game but the Rangers pulled it off. I had some mixed emotions of who to cheer for...I am a big Yankees fan but living in Texas now and having watched the Rangers practice on their summer field in Arizona, I am kinda partial to them too. The best part of the game delay was that we get to see two more games for free!


The only bad thing about having visitors is having to say good bye!


Just for fun...

I am glad you had more visitors. I am sure that is a nice break from the routine. And what are you talking about? I like that picture of you and Ryan! And I can't believe how much you look like each other. They always say couples start looking like each other the longer they are together and you confirm that! Love the last pic too!

How fun to have Ryan's parents come visit. They are such neat people.

About turning you blog into a book- I would try blurb.com. I have used it before and it will upload your entire blog into the program so you don't have to copy and paste anything. Currently I am actually using a different book-making program called Apperture (one of Curtis' photography design programs. You have to buy the soft-ware and it's pretty expensive.) The lay-outs are great, but you have to copy and paste each post which takes a while. If you are not against copying and pasting- there are lots of other free book-making sites like photoworks.com, or snapfish.com, or costco.com that make great photo-books too (of course the books cost money, but the software is free). I would try blurb.com first though. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

As usual, love the pics! Hopefully one day soon we will make it on your blog as visitors who got to stay with you. I think it's our turn :) I'm glad you and Ryan got to go out. I know that is EXTREMELY RARE for you two. Give those kiddos a squeeze from us. We sure miss you guys!!
