Ah, crap!
This past week I thought I would let Chloe take pictures of Reese while we were outside. Usually she is really good at doing this and maybe gets her in one out of ten pictures but next thing I knew Chloe was pushing on the camera, the part where it comes in and out!! So I take it away from her and think oh it is okay the batteries are just dead. NO! She broke the camera!! I dont know what she did but it wont close all the way and the pictures are blurry! I wouldn't mind it if didn't close all the way but the pictures are still blurry! Not good! So now we are cameraless, is that a word??

Fun stuff!
I am trying to get better about posting pictures! Ever since our computer crashed I just don't bother downloading them but I should! Here are some highlights for us from the last week! This is Cooper on his FIRST fishing trip and holding his FIRST fish he caught which I think he caught two but will have to check on that one! I can't believe he is holding it! Thanks to the Formans who have the boat to go out in!
My parents were in Spokane this last Friday and so the kids and I met them at Manito Park...It was fun and of course the kids loved the play structures! My mom was showing the kids the games on her GPS! Dad you are the only one looking at the camera!
Ah my little Chloe! This is such a cute picture of her! Thanks Dad, I think she is watching another kid go down the slide but this was probably the only time she was still the whole we were there!
Yesterday for Memorial Day we hung out at home - Ryan and Cooper went fishing in the morning and Chloe, Reese and I stayed home weeding our front - side yard! I really don't mind the weeds, it is the nasty bushes that are ugly and need to be ripped out! On Sunday we had a fun BBQ with a family from church, the Arnalls!! Then yesterday with the Formans we had a spur of the moment BBQ and it turned out great!
Ryan and I have decided to rip up half of our backyard and put in some cool stuff so we will do pictures once it is going! We have our square foot garden almost done, we just need to put the grid on it and plant our seeds and plants!! My goal is to keep the kids out of it for the summer!

MY SUPERWOMAN
So this is my (Ryan's) first "posting" on our family blog. No, you are not delusional this really is me and I am posting for something very special, or someone rather. Sometimes it is more meaningful to show one's love and admiration besides just saying it. To this end, I would like to say how proud of my wife I am. Yesterday she finished a half marathon and ran her heart out. Cooper, Chloe, Reese and I tried our best to cheer her on at different points during the event. Probably annoyed some of other runners, but that's just too bad, because we wanted mommy to know that we supported her! I know that she had trained fiercely for this because I was with her for a portion of it. This is only one of the many things that my wife has accomplished.
My beautiful Carrie is working very diligently on her Young Women's Personal Progress. Since she is a convert to the church she never had the chance to do this, but now being in the Young Women's organization in our ward has afforded her this opportunity. One of the things that she has set out to do is to learn how to sew. She has already made some dressed for Chloe and Reese and she has been making cool burp rags and bibs too. I just admire her so much for her natural ability to work hard and learn things. Not only that, everything she attempts she accomplished and does a fantastic job on top of it all.
Here are a few pictures from the Half-Marathon and her new handiwork as well. Carrie you are MY SUPERWOMAN and I thank you for saying yes, nearly 6 years ago.
I love you,
-Ryan.

Maybe some progress...
Cooper playing soccer! This was on his first day! We have forgotten the camera since but will take it this Saturday! The first day it rained and the poor kids just played and kind of had fun! His team is so cute and we are going to miss hanging out the new friends we have met! He will be doing T-ball this summer also but we can't sign up yet! He says he doesn't want to play soccer again but we will see... 
What have we been up to?? I, Carrie, have been running a lot, sewing summer dresses for my girls and other little girls, finishing my personal progress, cleaning, and trying to get some naps in!
Ryan is injured so he can't run, yet, he wants to hopefully do a triathlon this summer but needs to get his leg healed first! Ryan has been working hard at his new job at Nighthawk Radiology Services, busy with his calling for church, working on our soon-to-be garden, and watching the kids so I can run!
Cooper is almost done with soccer on Saturdays, which has been fun and a great learning experience! He has 2 more games but will miss his last one due to my race being next Saturday! Cooper is a Wii stud, his latest is Super Smash Brothers where he is actually really good, he gets frustrated sometimes but as long as he is Sonic he is usually good to go!
Chloe is starting to potty train and might actually be trained if I was consistent! Just in the last two days she has been learning bladder control where she wont pee for hours and gets a little mad cause I make her sit on her little potty or the big one if she wants but never pees in it! Even with chocolate in her mouth! Then I stick a diaper on her for nap and bam! So I am going to try and be good and consistent so hopefully she can get it down soon! She can say and repeat almost anything, and is just so stinkin cute!
Reese is fun! She is 8 1/2 months old now, no teeth yet but you would think she did by now with how she SHOVES everything in her mouth! She rolls everywhere and kind of army crawls on the floor! No hurry there!
Overall we are busy and doing good! Just trying to balance everything and I am excited to be done running, even though I have taken this week easier due to my knees hurting and the rain! I am going to spinning to help keep my muscles going and trying to do some leg exercises but next Saturday the 16th is the race and I am excited for it! I am sad that Ryan wont be running it with me but know he will be there at the finish with the kids and that is all I need to finish strong, hopefully! Ryan and Cooper are going on their first campout together this Friday! Cooper is excited and of course Ryan is since he loves to camp! We are excited to go camping this summer when it eventually stops raining! Seriously this is ridiculous, one week of warm summer, swimsuit weather and now downpours with hail?? Mother Nature must be a little off this year!!
And just an early Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's or soon-to-be that read this!!
