My "Job"



OK. Do you see this picture? This would be one reason why I started my Mary Kay business. My cute little boys and their fascination with my makeup. This is when they got into my mascara. There is another picture on my cell phone, but I couldn't get it to post to my blog, where Caleb put my lipstick from his nose down. Most importantly, I 'm got into this because I love people and have fun with others. I also want to make some money that I will be able to say home with my kids and provide the things they need. We are thankful to Christine Holt, (my sister in law) who introduced me to this business. I have already set up some appointments and am excited about getting going. I am also very thankful for Ryan who is so very supportive to me! He truly is a incredible man!

Thanksgiving Point

LOOK AT THE HOW MUCH FUN WE HAD!













Today we went with Grandma Holt to Thanksgiving Point to see the Dinosaurs! There were a lot of people there today as it was only 2 dollars to get in. We looked at all the bones and there were some that were HUGE! Ethan and Caleb were having fun looking at all the fun exhibits they have there. They played in the water and sand box. Looked at the bones. (They weren't that interested in looking at all the little bones as much.) We did have a great time though. Thanks Grandma! They each got to take home a little something from the gift shop. Caleb got a lizard and a snake. Ethan got a snake and a terradactyl. We had a really fun time. They boys wanted to go home with Grandma, but they fell asleep in the car on the way home. Thank goodness for nap time. That gives me (Mommy) some time for myself.

This is a BIG shark behind the boys. We love to watch shark week on TV. The boys love sharks, fish, swimming, and most anything that deals with water. Speaking of water, Ryan went scuba diving this past weekend at Fish Lake. He hadn't been since before we were married. (Almost 6 years.) He told me that there were a ton of fish, beautiful plant life, and pretty warm. He had a wonderful time diving. We are hoping that he will be able to go more.

2008 Olympics, China

Our boys in their
outfits from China!When Ryan went over to China twice this year, he brought some gifts back for us. The boys got Chinese silk outfits. We have been watching the Olympics and explaining that that is where Daddy went. I got out their clothes and took a really cute picture of them. They are so funny. Because the clothes are silk, the pants were falling down and very fun to slide in. I tried to teach them how to hold their hands and bow. Just for a fun little show for Daddy. Ethan says that he wants to do the high dive. He also wants to be a fireman and a police man. Caleb isn't really interested in watching the Olympics. He just likes to run around and jump on Ryan.
When Ryan was in China, he loved the food there. He also said that he was one of the biggest person walking around and that people would openly stare at him. He did enjoy both of his trips there. His boss at the time, Scott, took him to Ruth Chris Steak House in Hong Kong. He also had a massage, and a nice upgraded hotel room with a TV in the bathroom. He took some pictures, but I'm not sure where he has them on the computer. Anyway, we are really excited to watch the Olympics in China, maybe to see some of the places where Ryan went. We hope that you are enjoying them as well.

Swimming play time



We went to Aunt Marcie's apartment for a swimming birthday party for T.J. We put life jackets on the boys so they could swim easier. Ethan also did really good with just floaters on his arms. They both loved jumping in the pool to us. We all loved playing with the boys in the pool. On the right you can see Ethan on Ryan's shoulders, he would do flips off into the water. He is such a little fish. Ethan scared us by just jumping in the pool without anyone waiting for him and with no floats on. It was a good thing Carter was near by in the pool and could help him. On the left you see Caleb playing on the steps. We were ready to go and he had to get his feet wet again. We had a nice time with the Holt family.
















We cut the boys hair the other day. OK they got a buzz. We thing that they look so cute! They truly are a joy to have around. Here is Ryan playing superman with the boys. We have the two so they have to do the same thing at the same time. It's a good thing that Daddy is so strong! We are looking forward to more fun things to do for the summer.
