Ryerse Sprinkles: February 2015

http://ryersesprinkles.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Four years later, little Lucy isn't so little anymore! Happy birthday to our sweet, stubborn, sassy, star Lucy! Her one birthday wish was to go to Utah to celebrate with family. Because, as she said, "I never get to have my birthday in Utah! Emma always gets to, Cal always gets to, Covey always gets to. I never have got to! So, we made her wish come true and went to celebrate with the grandparents, {most of the} aunts and uncles and cousins. Next, the kids made stick horses&...

Ryerse Sprinkles: City Beautiful - Nauvoo

http://ryersesprinkles.blogspot.com/2015/08/city-beautiful-nauvoo.html

Monday, August 3, 2015. City Beautiful - Nauvoo. We were lucky enough to be able to go to Nauvoo, Illinois this summer with all of my brothers, sisters, neices, nephews, parents and Aunt and Uncle. It was ah-maaaa-zing! I wasn't sure how much the kids would like it since it would be a lot of sitting and listening, but they enjoyed it so much, too! The night before we left, Grandma Di, Grandpa Scott, Mark, Mayela and Amber came to stay with us to break up the trip a little bit. It was fun having them.

Ryerse Sprinkles: July 2014

http://ryersesprinkles.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, July 20, 2014. We Love Our Cousins! This week, we had a great time with Tayla. She came to stay with us all and it was awesome! The minute we walked in our house, she got a puzzled but excited look on her face and said "I didn't know you lived in a log cabin! Well, they got away from Tayla's little brothers for most of the week, but luckily, they were nice and included Cal in most of their plans. They didn't want me to take any pictures of them so most of them looked like this:. We had a picnic o...

Ryerse Sprinkles: A Weekend with Grandma & Grandpa Ryerse

http://ryersesprinkles.blogspot.com/2015/08/grandma-grandpas-visit.html

Monday, August 3, 2015. A Weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Ryerse. We had Grandma Sue and Grandpa Dan come visit us during July. The kids were so excited and waited by the doors and windows all Friday afternoon. They made a cute sign to welcome them. They came in and were showered with hugs and kisses, then we had homemade grilled pizza and grilled peach cobbler for dinner. After that, we played around and watched "Red Sonja" for our movie night with popcorn. We love you, Grandma and Grandpa! Independenc...

Ryerse Sprinkles: July 2015

Sunday, July 26, 2015. Time with the Millers at Bear Lake. We finally made it on a camping trip with our good friends, the Millers, our old college friends/ We picked a location which was in the middle for us both, and Bear Lake it was! Covey kept pointing to the lake and saying "puddle" and we'd tell him that it was like a big puddle called a lake, but he insisted it was a "puddle". Bear Puddle! Also, Cov was very disappointing that we weren't going to Randy's house (he loves his Uncle Randy! It was a h...

Monday, August 18, 2014. Pioneer Day and Stoddard Family Reunion! How thankful I am each time I think about the pioneer ancestors I have and the difference they've made in my life! Without them, I wouldn't be where I am or know what I do. It doesn't hurt, either, that we get a fun holiday, Pioneer Day, to honor them. We started things off Wednesday, when we drove down to Utah. We stopped to pick up the rest of the fireworks, including "The Mother-in-law" (which costed $100.ahhh! It felt like she had been...

Ryerse Sprinkles: October 2014

http://ryersesprinkles.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Dave had some conferences to attend in September in Nashville through his employer, and we figured since the hotel and Dave's flight and food were paid for, I could tag along too and we could make a trip out of it. It was a super fun place to visit, neither of us had been there before. We left from Salt Lake International airport early Tuesday morning (thanks for the ride, Julie! It was a fun little place though, I loved the atmosphere. We drove around some of the neighborhoods...

Ryerse Sprinkles: November 2014

http://ryersesprinkles.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, November 30, 2014. Visit from our Michigan cousins. My brother Adam, his wife Meghan, and their Steven and Ruby were in town. They came to visit us for two days, and spent the rest of the time in Utah with the other fam. So naturally, we visited for two weekends in a row to see them all we could, since we usually just get to see them once a year. They are so awesome! I love how Cal and Steven always act like they've never been apart and they just click so well. I'm so proud of him, he does a grea...

Sunday, May 31, 2015. Happy Mudder's Day to you! Haha, this years Mother's Day was so nice (but technically I did still do a little work). ;) We got another snow storm.not as much as last year, but we still had a couple of inches. I guess it must be our new tradition here for Mother's Day weekend. They were all so nice and sweet about it. I got to teach Preschool the week of Mother's Day, and we did these. I just love these questionnaires. Here's a little sampling of some of their sweet gestures and gifts.
