About a month before we left Arizona I found out that my friend Ashley enjoyed photography so I jumped at the chance when she offered to take my kids pictures. (She said that she needed the practice but as you will see, this girl knows what she is doing!). I love love love how they turned out and I'm so excited to have these pictures.

We are finally settling in to our new home here in Ohio. It is so beautiful here but soo different from AZ. It rains! A LOT! Almost every day and the thunder/lightening storms are outrageous. OUr place is a lot bigger than our last place and we finally have a backyard. My boys LOVE having a place to play and next door is a little 5-year-old boy that Dane has become really good friends with. Here are a couple of pictures of our new place. (I will try and add more later of our town later but here are some of our home for now:)

Right before we moved from Arizona my good friend Amanda (I miss her like crazy already!)took some family pictures of us. I was so excited considering how long it has been since we have had family pictures taken (I think since Dane was a baby!). She is so talented and I LOVE finally having a family picture that is now up-to-date. Here are a few of my favorite:

Ryan Graduated!!! ...about a month ago and I am just now getting to blogging about it bc I am THAT lame. We have been travelling for a couple of weeks visiting family and friends and then moved across the country and I am just now getting settled into our new home, Ohio:)

Ryan's family came to town for graduation and it was such a fun time celebrating Ryan's huge accomplishment! The night before graduation was a banquet at a nice hotel in town which I was totally looking forward to since it was a reason to get a babysitter, see our friends before we all went our seperate ways and a reason to dress up fancy:)
