Sneak Peek!

This evening, the kiddos, Ryan and I met up with the fabulously talented Eden Thome for the kids 18 month photo shoot. We finished a little after 7pm and I just received this sneak peek in my inbox. I can't wait to see the rest. You can check out her website at http://www.edenrosephotography.com/.

18 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really, truly cannot believe that Noah and Emma are 18 months old! The past year and a half has flown by so fast. They have grown up so much and have such great personalities! They saw their doctor for their 18 month check up and Noah weighed in at 23 lbs 5 oz and is 32 1/2 inches long. Emma weighed 20 lbs 2 oz and is 31 1/2 inches long. They each were given their last immunizations until they are 4 years old (woohoo)!!!

They are both quite the little talkers now. Their vocabulary has grown so much in the past few weeks. They are also both cutting molars. Noah now has 11 teeth with one about to break through. Emma has 9 with another about to break through any day. They are still sleeping 11 hours at night and napping 2 times a day. They have tried a ton of new food and we are happy to report that they both have had peanut butter with no reactions!!!!

They both can now go up and down the stairs without crawling and will throw a tantrum if you try to help them... They LOVE playing outside and we are anxiously awaiting the completion of our front and back yards. Overall, they are both such a blessing to Ryan and I and we can't wait to see how much they'll change in the next 6 months.

Samantha and Ryan are married!!!!!

On Thursday, June 17th, Samantha and Ryan became husband and wife. Ryan, the kiddos and I all had the honor of being in their wedding. We had so much fun. The weather was perfect, the kiddos made it down the aisle (sort of) and the reception was a blast. We are so happy for Ryan and Sam and are looking forward to watching them grow in their marriage. Here are some pics from my mom's camera and mine.

Daddy's Helpers

Ryan has been working on replacing our grass in our front yard. Last weekend he used a sod cutter and had been rolling them up and disposing of them as he has time. The weather was so nice today, that the kiddos and I went outside to watch Ryan work. Noah had a blast helping Ryan and Emma loved standing by me and dancing to the music that was on.

Mr. & Mrs. Blaisdell

Last night we had the honor of attending the wedding of our good friends Shelby and Becca. They were married at the Chism House, here in Reno, and everything was beautiful! Here are some shots of the evening.

Their gift from us.

Busy, Busy.

The past few weeks have been super busy around here. Besides all the normal activities we have going on, we have been busy celebrating several graduations (Congrats Mercedes, Emily and Stephen) and all the pre-wedding stuff. Ryan has been working a ton of overtime and I have been counting down for school to be out (3 more days). On top of all that, we have traveled to Yuba City, visited with friends and family and have been working on our yard. We are super busy and things won't be dying down any time soon. Here are some pics from the last few weeks. ENJOY!

Going Private...

Due to the nature of Ryan's job and the things that can happen I am going to change our blog to private. So please send me your email address so I can add you to our reader list. I have some of yours already but there are a few I still need. You can leave a comment or send me a private message. I will wait to change it for a few days so that all of you can get your email address to me. Thanks a bunch!
