Happenings

I know it's been a while since I updated and I have tons of pictures and video clips to post, but I just haven't had time. We went to Maplegrove campground the other night for F.H.E. and had a good time playing on the rope swing over a small stream. I've got the best clip of Randy going across the river that I think I will send in to America's Funniest Home videos. If I ever figure out how to post video clips on my blog then I will have to show you all, I know you will love it!

Other than that we've just been keeping busy with scouts, school and work!!! I can't believe how fast this month has gone by.

Oh, so I have to tell you that I actually went on a date with my husband last night without the kids!!! I don't know the last time that happened. We went to the high school performance of A Night of Shakespeare. I felt like I was in high school again...it was kinda weird. But the students did a really great job and I had a great time getting a break from the Ryker!!! He has been teething this last week or so and has developed a high pitch scream any time he gets frustrated (which is every other second). I get to the point by the end of the day where I just can't handle the scream!!! One of his many nicknames is Rykes Bikes. Now we call him Rykes Screamer, oh and also Rykes Biter (He bites a lot). But I just can't help but love the little guy!!!! As much as his screams drive me to rip my hair out....he is just so cute!!!

We also had a fun time visiting friends and family in St. George last weekend. We went shopping, ate a bunch of junk food, did pedicures, watched conference and enjoyed the warm St. George sun!! I'm so not excited for winter but at least I'm not in the icy cold Missouri this winter!!!

So I haven't figured out how to post video either. So many people have video clips I need to ask them sometime how to do it. Anyway I know it is not quite your birthday, but I wanted to say Happy Birthday!!! I don't know what I would have done in high school with out you as my best friend. Everyone always said that after we graduated that we would lose touch. Well I am so glad that we haven't. Next time your in town will have to do a shopping trip, and I'll take you out to lunch. Love you tons and enjoy your day!

So...it's October 13th today and I think it's someone's birthday! :) Happy Birthday Barbara! I hope you have a wonderful day today.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! It was actually a pretty crazy day but not too bad. Usually my birthday's are horrible...bad things just always seem to happen. Maybe I'm just superstitious about the 13th! This year the only terrible thing that happened was I had to spend a fortune on new tires so that Randy's car would pass inspection. I guess it could be worse, so I'm trying not to complain.
Nina, I think a shopping trip would be wonderful...I'll be in town this weekend doing a P.C. show so I'm not sure how much time I'll have to shop but I'll give you a call!
Thanks so much for wishing me a happy birthday!!!
