One more day...

Well we decided since we hadn't taken any pregnant pictures that we would do family pictures today. John is amazing! He had looked around to find a few places to go and we did them today, the day before we have baby haha. You can tell how much I didn't want to take pictures, but I am very glad we did :) This is our favorites, ryan's first, then mine. We go in to the hospital in less than twelve hours, we are both super excited and super nervous. The next post will be of Korver Ryan Wood. Hooray!!

Baby...

I'm super behind on updates for Korver. We have another dr appointment in a few days so I promise I will put up some new pics and give an update on the little guy. I also need to post everything I got from showers! I have an amazing couple making us our changing table and can't wait to show it all off, so I'll wait till I have it all and do a post to show you all. Sorry I know I'm behind just be patient :)

2 Year Anniversary...

VEGAS BABY!!!

So since I had never been to Vegas and we knew it would be a while before we could travel with the baby, we went south this year for the anniversary. We stayed at the Luxor, Awesome! We started at the Luxor and then headed down the strip that night.

We made it to the Coca Cola factory and was thirsty so we decided to try drinks from 16 different countries. Needles to say, I'm very happy to live in the US with normal coke haha There was some good ones but there was also some very very bad ones. It was fun to take a break and laugh alot :)

The next thing we did was stop and watch the water shows at the Bellagio. WOW! We got to hear I think 3 different songs. We would stop there when we needed a break and being pregnant walking the strip.. well we stopped a few times to watch the show. I think it was the coolest thing we ended up seeing in Vegas.

Haloween...

So I know its super late, but I figured I'd still post the pictures of carving pumpkins this Halloween. Ryan did the Halo3, my mom/dad/john did the smiley and I did the Goofey. We always have a blast doing it so here is a short post with the pic :) I'd post more pictures, but for some reason I looked super stoner in all of them?? haha

Dinner at Jodi's...

So since we had came in and were just hunting at night we were able to go down to Jodi's house for dinner. Let me just tell you her husband is a lucky guy! It was so so good! We had a blast! You won't get any of the inside jokes but we all ended up waxing our eyebrows (elbows as Ryan would say) we talked about anything under the sun and had a great great time. Bryn had the baby asleep so she ended up not coming and Jared was traveling for work so we missed those two but we still had fun laughing with and at each other :)

Joe and Britannia

We really don't know what they are doing??

Just us girls :)

And again what are they doing??

Deer Hunt...

I have so so very much to catch up on! Last weekend we got to go all week off work for the deer hunt. We started out at the ranch actually camping and doing the get up early deer hunting, but I never got any pictures :( We had a blast though. His dad was with us every night and helped us find the deer. We had dinner with Matt and Maralyn one night and Hal, Kearney, Bryn, Dustin and Joe and Britannia came out as well so we had a whole bunch of fun. To make a long story real short, we decided to just make a quick run without breakfast to see if we could find anything oh don't worry the time you don't eat Ryan and Joe hit one. Supposedly a monster but no one else saw its horns haha. They tracked it for over 3 hours why Britannia and I were the road drivers. We ended up not being able to find the deer (there were so many elk tracks in there that they had a hard time tracking) and after that we were pretty much hunted out, so we came back into town and hung out all day then hunted at night usually. Well behind Ryan's house his dad found a few buck that we were able to get one morning and then closing day I got mine with Ben, our hunting guide and good friend. It was a blast, we laughed so so hard and got some good meat can't say they are trophies but it was fun to be off work and see family and friends. Ryan and Randy's Deer

Lumberjacks??

So the last few weekends we have been going out to get wood. Our family loves to go out and relax haha well thats what I've been getting to do :) We have a lot of fun doing it. Ryan and I only got to go one weekend but I thouht I'd put some pictures up from each week. The last week they went it snowed on em! You can see my dad cutting a big one down in the snow. We have some friends out by where we get wood that we have been friends with forever! They moved away from Bear River and we moved into Brigham but we still try to get together every once and a while and getting wood was how we did it this year. This is princess Bre'Kell haha and My mom with Harlee underneath. They have one other little girl named Oakley. We always have a blast when we are with them.

This is consistent with what I got to do when we went, but it was still a lot of fun to drive out and laugh all day long. Mostly at my Ryan, He does some funny things for sure :) He don't like pictures much so you won't see him looking at the camera. You don't see alot of my mom either because she is usually the one behind the camera. We had a lot of fun. They cut only a few trees, but cut some big ones that filled up the truck pretty dang fast. It was a fun trip, I'm glad we get to go do stuff with my family. Next weekend is the deer hunt and we get to go down south this year, so hopefully we'll get to spend a lot of time with Ryan's side and get two big bucks!

Baby Wood

So the video is kinda long, I just tried to cut out a little bit so that we could show you our little baby boy :) I think its amazing to be able to see him like this its made the whole thing a lot more real. Enjoy!

Catch Up..

Well its been a very long time since we updated our page so we'll just do a quick summary :) We went to the fireworks on the 4th over in logan. Our little family did a little cook out in the back of the truck. My dad and John did a little wrestling, I'm not sure who won :) We had a blast!

Ryan turned 22 on the 9th so we went out shooting at my parents and he shot my mom's bow as well as the regular guns. He did really well and had a real good time. We also had a little surprise party for him up at the Mantua campgrounds with some of his friends.

And the very last update which we are most excited about :) We are having a BOY! I don't have the pictures from the last two ultrasounds cuz I am too lazy to upload them, but everyone can now know we are having a little BOY!

Graduation!

It makes you feel so old when you little bro is graduating! I can't believe it! I'm so proud of him it was fun to watch him grow up :) What a man he is gonna be! We love ya bud.

First Ultrasound...

So this is our newest soon to be edition :) We tried to get it so you can hear the heartbeat. We are very very excited!! The due date is January 6, 2010. We get a new ultrasound everytime we go in so we'll try and keep it updated for everyone to see. I've been not feeling so good but hoping I get used to it or learn the tricks to pretending like I feel fine haha.

Nouveau Riche..

So I should have posted about our new lifestyle long ago but after reading one of our friends about Nouveau I had to post!! We have been to Arizona three times now for an amazing college all about real estate investing. We went to our first one last October and the latest the week before Easter. WE LOVE IT!! We paid for both Ryan and I to go for two years and I'm sure we'll keep paying to go after that. It is 6 days of classes day and night you choose what you want to learn and how many classes you want to take. The instructors are experts in the fields they are teaching, you learn so so much information your brain hurts!

We have grown up so much from the info we have learned but a lot of personal growth from being allowed to dream :) We have a dream board that shows what we would do and have if money was no option and that is a fun fun thing to do!! We also have some great relationships with other investors, that are like family now. Each of them is like another mentor you can call and ask questions or partner up to do a deal with. It's a great community for investors and business owners.

These are some of the pictures from all three colleges :) As you notice we aren't all work down there haha we have TOO much fun when we go down. Ryan and I usually take one day to go shopping and just play, but we usually barbecue after classes and play cash flow, or banannagrams! I'm bad with pictures so you'll just have to check out our friends' blogs for more pics!

The place we stayed at was amazing! we went on a midnight swim in the rain :)

Here are some of the boys talking "business" I'm sure :)

Here are some pics of everyone just chilling...

This was last college, the whole bunch of us and our AMAZING mentor Russ..

I'm gonna put a link on our page if you guys have questions please ask us!! We love our new lifestyle. I say lifestyle because it has taught us to think differently about a lot of things. We can't thank Brian and Katelyn enough for showing it to us!!

IF YOUR WHY IS BIG ENOUGH,

YOUR HOW WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF.

Arizona here we come!!!

Monday morning!! We leave at 7:15 am to head down to Phoenix for school :) I will post pictures when we get back. I was going to post some pictures of the boys painting their office, but my camera was dead haha so, I will just have to put up pictures when it is all decorated! Instead I just got a video from Kel showing what she gets to laugh at. Its John helping with the garden

Prom..

Its been a long while since I've posted anything and its seems like so much has happened, but not alot that I got pictures of?? Joe and Britannia came up and stayed with us, but no pictures I'm not very good at remembering that :) We had a blast though we played A LOT of Halo3 which was fun but did some other fun stuff as well haha

The pics I do have are of Prom. No not for me but John and Kel!! We love these two they both looked amazing and I think they had a good time..Oh and her corsaige? If thats how you spell it, was done at Bowcutt Floral.. WOW!! It lit up! We called it her tracker so John could keep track of her but they did a great job on it. You can't see it very well though I'm not the greatest picture taker haha

I got a good one of little Taralyn :) although not so little anymore! She is growing like a weed!! And last but surely not least, we all spent a very very long day at Primary Children's. Love the hospital it does AMAZING things but it drains ya. John had another heart surgery that lasted for about 5 hours after he came around, then had to stay in bed for 4 hours before he could move. They went up his vein in one leg and an artery in the other to search through his heart basicaly. They found another spot in his heart that liked to jump into another beat pattern. We monitored it all last week and caught his heart rate at 270 which is outrageous. We are very lucky and thankful for the doctors and nurses (We had an awesome one!) They fixed him all back up and hopefully never have to endure another long day at the hospital!!!

Cedar Trip...

So we had to go down to Cedar this weekend for Ryan's grandpa's funeral. We decided to make it a weekend trip and have some fun along with the funeral. We stayed with Joe and Britannia two of the greatest friends in the world! We took over the house haha only in the making it a mess department :) But we had a blast! Kearney and Bryn came over and we grilled two nights, Halo 3 was on pretty much all the time and the boys were crazy. FYI the myth of cell phone waves popping a popcorn kernel..totally busted..I forgot my camera this trip or you could have seen all the other fun things we did. I did get a video of Joe and Ryan making snow angels haha. The funeral went really well, the things little kids say make it really cool. His little cousin was very worried about what they were going to do to grandpa. They explained they were tucking him in and then were going to bury him and he said "so Heavenly Father can come get him?". Later on at the cemetery he was worried and his little cousin turned around and assured him "its ok, we'll always be family" pretty annoyed he didn't understand it. Little kids know so much and teach us so much from being so innocent. Anyways it was a fun weekend we miss everyone in Cedar!

Notice Ryan never moves his legs and Joe is up and movins lightning fast!

de·ter·mi·na·tion: the act of deciding definitely and firmly ; also : the result of such an act of decision b: firm or fixed intention to achieve a desired end determination> This last week I was able to go to a business meeting, if you'd call it that, that was for women only. We talked about one certain topic and it was determination. We learned about the two people in the video at the bottom. Then talked about what we thought was the mountain in our life that we aren't climbing but digging a hole in front of. I think we can all learn some valuable lessons from watching this, for me it gave me a new front on life for 2009. I can not thank one of our amazing mentors Brittney Starnes for the empowerment she can give with a few simple words after we watched the video. We joined up with an awesome community of people that have made Ryan and I grow and be empowered to do great things. Thanks Brittney and everyone in Nouveau that are making our lives better! I hope you guys like the video. When your done watching think of what Brittney said to us. "So what is your mountain?" www.teamhoyt.com Some facts for you.. they were laughed and mocked in their first race and finished second to last... Dick hadn't rode a bike since he was six years old... Dick had also never swam before he started doing this.. Rick is currently working at Boston College designing a wheel chair that will move with movements of your eyes... They now finish in the top 25% of most races they run...

Valentines Day...

So this year for Valentines Day, Ryan works usually till late on Saturdays so I decided I'd watch Averie for Alex and Cinda so they could go to a movie. She is a doll!! We called her Yoda half the night cuz she just stares at ya with her big blue eyes. I'm glad they let us watch her! But as I walked in from work you see what Ryan had laid out. I had been asking him to download the Coldplay CD for me, but instead he got me the two CD's they have out at the moment. Which is an awesome CD if you couldn't tell by the crazy amount of Grammy's it got. I ended up getting him a new coat and the two Fantastic Four movies along wtih Tristan and Isolde. They were kinda for me in the same cuz those are some of my favorite movies. We had Kel over for Valentines dinner but ended up just calling it a family dinner. Ryan got home early and we just chilled watched a movie or two and set my parents up a blog :) Which was Hilarious!!! I stole the music for my page that my mom wanted haha but we worked it out :) It was a great Valentines Day!!! (My mom got her hair done as well! I think it looks really really good!!!)

Fun with the boys..

....................................................................................

So this week marks two years since my uncle passed away in a car crash and its still pretty tragic for our whole family. Don't think it will ever really not be tragic, but we try to have some fun and let the boys get out some stress :)

My aunt went out on a date and we took the boys to Toads in Ogden. Ryan and I had been there before for work and had a blast so we decided to take them. We started just playing inside on the arcade stuff and you can see we had a BLAST.

It was kinda chilly so the go-karts didn't last long but we had a great time. Ryan got the super slow one the first time and almost got lapped haha.. the next time I got it thats why I actually got pic

But mini golf was HILARIUS! Chal hit the ball once and decided that golf was stupid. Why try and hit the ball in the hole when you can put it in there with your hands?? haha He had alot of fun checking out the place though it was set up like a rain forest so he had a blast.
