So things have been a bit busy lately. It has all been unplanned things popping up at us. Most of the things are lovely, others not so lovely , but just as welcomed into our lives. Ever since Ryan has gotten home I have felt like the baby is trying to rush us around so we get ready for him. Liam is growing like a weed and talking like crazy. He is not afraid to tell us off for anything and "no" is becoming a word that he is getting used to hearing even more than usual. Now he can climb over the back of the couch , along the tiny ledge by the fish tank and jump off. Not the safest idea ever, but he is one fearless kid. I think he is understanding more and more about the baby, and how he is going to have a new little brother here soon. Sunday we went to pick up Ryan in Cranbrook, we are so happy to have him home. Monday we celebrated Easter and had so much fun being together as a family. It will be one of our last holidays with only three members of our family participating. Tuesday was a more serious day, we got down to business about looking over our finances. We also had a friend of ours, Murial, over so she could do her Sun Life Financial shpiel for us. We are still thinking about it though. Wednesday was the regular cleaning and such day. We also had the missionaries over for supper and our freezer is getting a bit bare so we fed them fish. I am glad they liked it because its definitely time to go shopping. They even fought over the last piece. We also fed them home made potato salad that had a couple of Liam's colored eggs in it. We forgot to tell them that's what the blue and pink eggs were all about, but they were smart and figured it out (after some hesitation!). Thursday , Ryan really wanted to go for a hike after he got home from work, but the weather was not cooperating with his wants. It was snowing and raining back and forth. When he was getting onto the bus to come down from the mine, Ryan noticed he had an e-mail from his parents that said that they were coming down and that they were going to be there around supper time. So that cheered Ryan up enough that i didn't have to listen to him complain about not being able tot go on a hike. They had brought a dresser and a Highboy for us that their friends were giving away. So now i have an actual dresser to put the mountains of Liam's clothes in. And we are going to use the Highboy to put Liam's toys in , witch i am so excited to clean up and get put away. Friday morning we slept in and then I made crepes for breakfast. they were really good except the last little bit of batter from the bowl that i scraped up had egg shells in it, because i had a crunchy crepe. Not so tasty. But the other ones were awesome! We then packed up our stuff and came to Cranbrook. we were not planning on coming then, but some things popped up and we had to come. It is Stake conference this weekend so we were going to have to come anyways. Saturday (today) we got up and I called Kristin to see if she could bring in Ryan's Bike in from Sparwood. It was all yucky weather when we left on friday so i convinced Ryan that it was going to be like that in Cranbrook. (But of corse it was nice there!) Kristin got Trudy to bring it in for us, but she could only fit Ryan's old bike on her rack to bring so Ryan settled for it. He still hasnt been able to go for a ride on his new expensive nice bike yet. Oh well though. Soon enough. We went for a booster juice in Ryan's dad's truck and met Trudy at winners to get the bike from her. Ryan was happy that he could go for a ride. He left and then came back again because where they wanted to go biking , it was snowing and hailing. Karma I tell you! haha! anyways, we had a blast driving in Ken's truck. Liam can see out of the front window perfectly and he loved it. We wen to a bike shop because Ryan wants to get this bike for Liam. He would much rather have a pink one though (haha!) Then we went home to Ryan's parents and Liam played in the back yard for quite some time in the dirt. we brought him in , cleaned him up, and fed him, then put him down for a nap. I had one too so it was nice. I woke up and now we are getting ready for supper, because Stake conference starts at 6:30PM. We are having Fish and Chips , I am very happy about that. I LOVE fish and chips. It makes me miss my Grandad though , nobody can make them as good as he could! So tonight we are off for Stake conference and then back home later in the evening. Tomorrow we get up and go to church, then we are going to try ad work on the Volkswagen and then head home. Although Kevin, my brother, has a fund raiser thing in Lethbridge with his choir tomorrow, Ryan and I had a long chat about it and i lost the battle and we are not going. I wish that we could go. I havnt been able to see him sing once yet , except when he came home from his mission and sang in church. I am proud of him. I am glad to see him pursuing his new found talents. He even got into the Opera workshop at the U of L. He is awesome! I miss my family and love them more. I wish that they lived closer. We are always, ALWAYS in Cranbrook. But thats what you get when you marry a mommas boy! ( i am so gonna get in trouble when Ryan reads this lol!) Anyways I have rambled on enough. It feels good to get things out there!
