...golfing

so for those of you who don't know, Ryan got a second part time job for the summer, he works up at the Logan Golf and Country Club mowing the greens. This new job sparked a new interest in him...so we got him a set of clubs, and now he loves to go golfing all the time! one day after work he called to see if i wanted to go golfing, so of course i went, and our friends tanner and kirstin went with us too. it was so much fun, and a great way to spend a summer afternoon!

...random

ok so this is really random, but we saw a deer in the front yard! Ryan was out mowing his parents yard and he came into get me and was like "HURRY COME ON, COME ON!!!" it was awesome! but then a bird starting pecking at it and made it run away....wow deer can jump high and quick!

...baseball

Ryan has been playing baseball this summer with the Hyrum Hornets again. There are games every Tuesday and Thursday night usually, and random make up games or exhibition games in between. I love going to watch them, not only cause I love baseball, but because it gives me something to do all summer!

congratulations!!!

we found out today that Ryan made the First Team All Conference for USU baseball this past season. He was one of three pitchers in the whole conference that got the award! yay ryan! i'm pretty much married to the most amazing pitcher ever!

lusting after my long locks

so i just put some new music on my blog as you've probably noticed. so for about the last ten minutes i've just been listening to it and staring at my page (i know i know, how bored am i!) and so i've been staring at the picture of ryan and i on the beach (right above) and it is making me miss my long hair the more i stare it. so i had to stop staring, and start posting. so...i guess that's it. i just want my hair to grow! i'll start pulling on it now since i've gotten so desperate! haha!

my sweet Grandpa

this picture was taken about 2 months ago when my dad and uncle steve went out to move my grandpa to a different home, all the the cna's loved grandpa!

my grandpa has always been the most amazing man to look up to. he served in WWII, went to dental school, married my cute grandma, raised 6 amazingly successful kids, served a mission to thailand, and served as the temple president of the ogden temple. but most of all he was the most amazingly fun and hardworking grandpa. every time we'd go out to visit, we'd always find him in his huge, perfectly manicured garden working, and usually with another cut on his cute bald head from hitting it on a tree, or the swing set, or something else out there! he would always set up the volleyball nets and the hammocks before all the grandkids came over because he knew we loved to play with them. He also kept the pogo sticks in the garage at "kid level" so we could get them out anytime we wanted.

This past Sunday evening he past away after his kids and most of his grandkids came to say goodbye. After a long struggle with alzheimer's disease we all know that it is for the best. His 64th anniversary is on June 10th, and we like to think that grandma came to get him so they didn't have to spend that special day alone. I love him so much, and will miss him greatly, but i know that he is happier now, and he has the garden he's always dreamed of now, and gets to be with my sweet grandma again!

I love you Grandpa!
