Chucky Cheese

So I have a lot of pictures to post so this should be fun to make sure that we get them all in. Everyone likes pictures better anyway. So a few weeks ago we took Ryan to Chucky Cheese for the first time. It was a lot of fun even Blaine had fun.

Ryan driving with the dog. This really isn't moving so he likes it.Ryan didn't like this truck becasue it started moving up in the air and he got really scared.

Ryan is having fun now.

Some people might call this cheating but not when you are two.

Daddys have fun playing to

Ryan wants to do everyting that his daddy does

Mothers Day

For mothers day Blaine and Ryan got me a haircut and color from my friend Koe. It was so nice because I needed it so bad. I even talked him into letting me do it before mothers day so I would look better for mothers day. So he let me. Overall it was a really good day. Blaine even got Ryan to say very slowly Happy mom's day. And you really could make out what he was saying.After dinner Ryan wanted Blaine and I to come and play cars with him.What a cute little boy. Only4 more days till his birthday.

Water Day

Saturday the Ahlberg's had a play water day for any of the kids in our ward. Since most of the older kids were at father and son's outing. We had so much fun thanks for the great day Ahlberg's.

Happy Birthday Baba

On Tuesday May 6th was my great friend and moms Irene's Birthday. Many of you are confused so let me give you the two minuet version. I first moved to Arizona in 1995 to live with my grandparents I started to attend junior high at Hertiage Academy and met a boy named Mike. Well long story short he took me home to meet his family and I have never left. They took me in and made me part of the family. They have done so much for me over the years and it was so fun to suprise her with a birthday lunch. My grandma put everything togeather. She went all out with a thre couse meal. She had used the good china and chilled the salad plates. She had four diffrent soups and had all the the soup bowls in hot water to keep them warm so that when we served the soup it would be hot. It was such a nice afternoon and the good thing was that she was suprised so it all turned out really good. Happy Birthday

Time to catch up

I just want to say I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in a while. Life has been very crazy for the past few weeks. Blaine was out of town doing a press check last week and I worked a few days last week. Many of you are wondering what I am doing for a job now. Blaine's bosses wife owns a mail house. Mail like you get in the mail not a male house:) anyway we run mail through a machine that address it and then it ends up at your house. Last week we did clipper post cards. You may not know that a post card comes with your Clipper magazine every month and that is what I stand and run through the machine. Yes I still work at Ribbons and Lace but not behind the counter anymore. I teach the hairbow classes once a week and I love it.This is what Blaine goes to Sacramento to watch print. So make sure to watch for it in your mail box. He most likely took it to your post office.
This is one of the many pallets the post card that we ran last week for Clipper. FYI Clipper is sent to 1.1 million copies are sent out so we stay busy that week.
This is the little printing machine that I run when it is the Clipper time of the month. You insert the postcard on the right hand side and then it runs along a belt and comes out the left hand side of the machine.

This is when it is coming out of the machine to the belt with the dryer to dry the ink and then I take it off the belt and put it in post office trays.This is the Big printing machine. Maybe someday I will learn how to run this one. We run about 19-20 thousand postcards an hour on these machines. Crazy right?
This is the inside of Blaine's warehouse this is only a very small amount of the Clipper magazine waiting to go to the post office. You can see why I have been so busy lately. I am very grateful to to be working though I really only work a week and a half a month so it gives us a little extra money.

Tonight was our wards cynco de Meyo (sorry for the spelling) party and it was a lot of fun. Good food and kids running around all over the place. I hadn't seen Ryan in a while so I went looking for him and this is what I found. Ryan was in the Primary room with about 50 billion other kids. The picture isn't all that great but you can see that he found a music stand that had a primary song book on it and was standing and waving his arms in the air like he was leading the music. It was so cute I guess he paid attention all those times we took him to choir when I was the choir director.
I went back a little while later and saw him standing at the microphone the funny thing was that it was on and he was really talking into it. Just wait till he has to give his first talk I bet he won't be so eager to talk into it then.


After we got home Blaine called me into the bathroom to see what our mister independent son was doing. He was yes cutting his own finger nails and he didn't want mom or dad to help. Believe it or not he was doing a very good job. Thank goodness these are baby nail cutters so he couldn't cut that bad.


We have been trying to get Ryan to put hats on and finally tonight he decided he liked this hat again. Really he saw daddy with his hat on so Ryan thought that he needed a hat as well. Whatever works right?So my little boy likes to cuddle and that makes me really happy but lately he only falls asleep if he has me in a headlock. Apparently it doesn't bother me that much because I usually end up passed out as well.

We have finally got Ryan to ware Pull Up's. Ryan has also decided that he is to big to take naps so this is what usually happens he crawls in our bed and passes out around 7:00. I am starting to like the no nap thing because he goes to bed so much earlier.So I made a copy of this from Ashely's blog so thanks. For Valentines day (yes I realize that it has been a few months) anyway Tim and Blaine took Ashley and I out bowling. We had a lot of fun especially our first game. Congratulations to Ashley because she beat us all with 100 point however we can just say that the wifes beat the husbands you can see that I got a 95 Blaine got a 92 and poor poor Tim got a 44. To give the boys some credit they did go on to win later in the evening. Let me tell you boys are such bad losers. Ashley and I started to play bad just so they wouldn't cry so much:) j/k
