Wowzers. The last few weeks have been a little bit crazy. Two weekends ago we went up to Frannie. It was a lot of fun. Dallin and Ben rode their bikes up the big horns which was a little bit psycho of them to do but hey, what ever makes them happy. Miriam taught Ashley and me the art of bagel making. I have made them once since then and I think I need to practice a little bit more. Ben wants to start selling them so we might try that route. We also go to see Russel play in a football game. Russel is an amazing person. After the game we went home, had dinner, and like crazy people we did homework. Yeah... I think I was the only one who kept refusing to read my assignments. We ended up playing Liar's Dice before bed. Dallin was a first timer and I really think he enjoyed it. Sadly, I forgot my camera and I don't have any pictures from that trip.
This last weekend was really fun too. Saturday afternoon Ben had a company party. They played football for 2 hours and then we ate some authentic southern barbeque. It was delish... I don't know if that is a word. Ben had a blast play football. He said it gave him an itch to play intramural football... and it needed to be scratched. After that we headed over to Travis and katie's reception. We are so happy for them. Grandma, Grandpa, Shane, Miriam, and Russel came down for it. It was really fun to see them again. They came to church with us and got to take a peek at our nursery class. We basically spent all of Sunday with the Dashleys. Oh by the way Ashley has to post a picture of her new toy. (It's a hand gun)

Here are some pictures of Ben playing football:

Here is really bonding with co-worker David. Yeah they like to hug a lot. By the way congrats to David on his engagement.
Now this is a blury one but Ben is the one with the ball and it looks like his boss, Bob has a good hold on him.
This is probably one of my favorite pictures because the ball got loose and everyone is going after it like crazy men. It reminds me of shopping crazed women running to a sale.
It kind of looks like Ben is throwing himself at Bob to knock him out of the way of an oncoming train.
Yes, Ben is a brilliant football player. He caught a touchdown pass.
Here's the thing... I am always taking the pictures but somehow Ben and I got in a picture together. We have no idea who took it but we have a nice shot of Ben's chest and what looks like an action shot of me about to laugh.

Oh yeah, I am taking a sewing class and this is a hat. It is suppose to fit newborn babies, but it is quite small I just don't know if it would. It might fit Devynn's but she is tiny.

Good times with the Roberts... that's what I call it. We are both doing really well. School is a little overwhelming. I am at school at least 10 hours a day... that's a short day. wow... I have used an elipse 3 times in this paragraph alone. Anyways, we love to see pics of our nieces and nephews... so family members, keep 'em comin. I am also glad that Rachell finally gave up an update. We are trying to find a time to go visit Rachell and Forrest.

Have a good week and just a side note... Ari, you can probably find some better hiding spots.

Random post

So there haven't been any recent posts so I thought I'd just put up some random pics.

This is how Ben and I ride my bike. I sit on the handle bars.
This is Ben's birthday present from me... it's wrapped in a sheet... how cute.
It was a BYU gift set. It came with some BYU dishes, chocolate pretzels, salt water taffy, and popcorn.
I went to a wedding in August and I was one of the bridesmaids. I am on the very left... the shortest one. Congrats to David and Aleasha.

I just wanted to add ths picture because it mkes me laugh. The poses are brilliant. Wesley is the only who looks like "this is normal, I am a king" Trevor looks a little uneasy but confident... that doesn't make sense but oh well. Dallin is trying to be a cowboy. Nate looks awkard but it looks like he wears a robe often. Ben looks like a robe model... Hands on hips, knee slightly bent.

Sorry I haven't posted anything recently... I'm a little wrapped up in school.

Adventures before school starts

Last weekend our friends David and Aleasha came up for a visit. It was really fun. We went to the Idaho Falls Museum where the Dead Sea Scrolls were on exhibit. When Ben got home from work we ventured up to Island Park. It was fabulous. We went four wheeling and kayaking. After a crazy day of adventure we settled down in front of the tv to relax and to watch the BYU vs Arizona game. It was a delight. I don't think Ben got much rest... he seems to move a lot and tense up a lot while watching BYU play. Anyways, we had a great time. These pictures are of us on the four wheeling ride.


A while ago Ben got a new jersey. He's so cute in it. He is thinking about doing a race in St. George in October and another race in Tucson in November. Me? I have been riding and I started using clips. It is a little scary and I almost died a few times.
Well I hope everyone is doing swell.

Live long and prosper...

The little jaunt to Arizona

Before ending our traveling for a while Ben and I made one more trip to Salt Lake then to Arizona. Sadly, I don't have many pictures. We went down to Salt Lake for our friends David and Aleasha's wedding. We were priviledged to stay at the Marriott with my parents. It was great. Early Saturday morning we woke up at 6 to brace ourselves for the implosion of the Key Bank Building. It was insane, it shook the hotel. I'm sure you can find video of it online. We looked out the window it looked like it had snowed by how much dust there was. We weren't aloud out of the hotel until about 8. It took us forever to walk to the temple for the wedding because so many streets were closed. The air cleared and everything was super. On Sunday I drove down to AZ with my parents while Ben stayed behind to work for a week. I read the Twilight book and the two sequels it has. They were quite entertaining. Ben joined me on Friday night. Ben is amazing. He went on two long bike rides with two different groups on Saturday morning. That night we went to Aleasha and David's Arizona Reception. We taunted a woman from Cowley, Wyoming by insulting Cowley. It was fun.

Every morning Ari would climb into bed with me to wake me up then she would want to play with my phone and hide under the blankets and sing to me.

Little Moments

I don't know why I am writing this... it is kind of embarrassing.

These are just a few moments of Ryanne's life that make it interesting:
-On the plane back home I spilt the apple juice I ordered all over myself mid flight and had to sit in it until we landed.
-Once off the plane a guy who drives those carts around gave Ben and I a ride because he didn't think I walked normal and then he made fun of obese people.
-Yesterday, I jammed my hand in a ceiling fan... it hurt
-Yesterday, I rode my bike to the grocery store and while riding decided to take a drink my apple juice and almost fell over but instead spilt my juice all over the sidewalk.

ok, maybe I should stop drinking apple juice. Yeah, anyways, that is all I wanted to say.

Everyone have a good day!

Christiner...

So, I have been looking at some pictures at my parents house of my dear friend Christine and me. It was quite the experience. I really think she will enjoy this little collage I whipped up for her. We have had many good times... Graduating preschool and middle school together, spending many a great Halloween together, attending two proms together... well not as eachothers' date but together as couples, playing in one piece footsie pajamas, snow mobiling, swiming, and many other fun things. By the way, she is single and looking for action.... she puts out!

California

Alright so we went on a trip with the whole entire Greene family to California. The pictures are very random and not in any type of order. It takes to much effort to do that. We drove to San Diego on a Wednesday night. On the way there we played a little game we like to call Kareoke. Someone puts headphones on and turns the volume up all the way then sings a long to whatever song is playing. It was pretty much hilarious. On Thursday we went to Sea World. It was fun. I petted a sting ray. It was soft. On Friday we spent the whole day at the beach and everyone got burnt. Except for Dad because he is smart and wore a shirt. On Saturday we went to the San Diego Zoo which was a lot of fun as well... I didn't take many pictures of that. We met up with Nathan and Lindsay at the zoo. We enjoyed the bondage that took place. Saturday evening we drove with Nathan and Lindsay back up to L.A. We got to see where Nathan works, consume lots of healthy food... such as in-and-out, pizza, and Olive Garden. It was a lot of fun. Now I am back home in Rexburg for about 2 days before I leave again. Anyways... enjoy the pictures.

Here is Nate... posing with the mother.

At the beach Ben created some sand art.
This is at the zoo... Ben and Ashley are models.
After taking about 15 consecutive pictures of Beckett he made this face... which is adorable.
Beckett has the luxury of bathing in sinks.
This is a nasty nasty picture. Yes, it does deserve 2 nasties. I laugh at it though.
Ben and Devynn on the way to the beach.
This is Nate transporting his child at the beach.
Some of the women and wesley
I was trying to burry Ben but Ari wanted me to burry her too.

Uncle Ben and Ari... Ari tried to kiss the starfish

Yes, I touched and held a starfish.
Uncle Ben and Ari again
waiting for shamu
"Shamu Shamu" or as Ari says, "Famu, Famu"
Good times.

Arizona Sunshine

Right after returning to Rexburg from North Dakota I was picked up by my parents and drove to Arizona. It was not fun to be away from Ben for a week but I enjoyed spending time with family. We had a lot of fun.

Ari is really enjoying that corn.

On Friday, when Ben arrived, we went to a water park. Here is Trevor with Devynn.
Britt is throwing her child down a slide to Ben. Ari loved it.
Ari is cleaning Devynn. What a nice sister.
While I was in Arizona I started a quilt. This is where I left off on it. I am really excited to finish it.

Good Times in North Dakota

These pictures are in no particular order. In fact they are completely random. A few weeks ago Ben and I were priviledged to venture to Wyoming to hang out with the fam and to pick up Forrest, whom I met for the first time. It was splendid. We spent a few days in Frannie then journeyed to North Dakota. We had the wonderful opportunity of driving in a car with the Nathan and Lindsay Roberts Family, it was a joy. The reunion was great. We played a lot of fun games and got to go swimming. It was fun to be together with the whole family.

I absolutely think this picture is horrid, but it makes me laugh.

Here is the Beckett sandwich by Forrest and The Lindser
I would love if everybody could just make th is picture a little bit bigger and notice the posing Lindsay... it kind of looks like everbody is posing.
Oh look at this little man. He is so cute.


Russell and Ben playing an intense game of chess

This is not a very attractive picture but Ben's teeth look good.

And here is another swimming picture. What a happy group of people.
