RYAN'S FAMILY

Ryan's dad, Greg, lives in Indiana with his wife, Teresa. They have been married about 3 years. They LOVE their dogs and one cat. They both work hard but play hard as well. Greg loves photography! He takes pictures at all the local school sporting events and lets the parents buy pictures of their kids playing during games. Teresa loves to be with her family and playing with her dogs--she loves her pets! Both of them love to go on bike rides, read, and take naps! :)

This past Christmas we went to Indiana. Here we went on a hike around a frozen lake! It was really cold but we had a lot of fun.

Ryan's moms name is Debbie. She moved to Utah about 4 years ago. We see her often! She is a stay at home mom. She likes to spoil her grand-dog Chase! :) and loves to be with her family. She loves her 3 boys, loves spending time with, and would do anything for her family.

Ryan is the oldest of 3 boys. Next in line is Pat. He is currently in the Army and is stationed in NYC as he wait to be deployed in January 2010. Pat loves to hang out with his friends when he is not working hard all day in the Army. He is awesome and we are proud to have him serving our country!

Nick is the youngest brother. He is in High School and lives with his mom. We also see Nick quit a bit. He is a funny guy. He loves to hang out with friends and do anything that is out doors. He really does not know how to sit still. He loves to go 4 wheeling, horse back riding, and fixing just about anything. He went hiking in the Tetons with us this past summer. This picture was from when we went camping/hiking in Zion National Park.

Over all, they are 3 great guys...funny ones too I may add!

NICI'S FAMILY

My parents and 4 sisters all live with in a 50 mile radius of us. It is nice because we get together often. We are able to support each other in sporting events, dance concerts, and school programs. We have 7 nieces and nephews in all. We get to be "Cool Uncle Ryan & Aunt Nici". Let me introduce you...
These are my parents: Wayne & Janice.
My mom works for an on-line scrapbook company and my dad after owning his own business building homes for pretty much his adult life has slowed down quite a bit and now drives a school bus and works as an Usher for all the major sporting events in Utah. They are very happy people and love their grandchildren more than their own children! :)

My oldest sister, Shaan, and her family. She also met her husband, Mack, while serving on their missions in South Carolina. They have two sons, Shad & Harrison. They both like to play sports and be rough-housin' boys! Shaan is an elementary teacher, while Mack is stay at home dad and hopes to be freelance writer.

Lei, is next in line. Her and her husband have 4 kids (The oldest is not shown). Jaiden is the oldest and just entered High School. He loves his phone :), Diamon is in the red and loves to dance, Raiven, in the white, is just hilarious! She is very loving but loves to make people laugh, and then there is Jett. Jett loves karate and playing with his cousins, Shad & Harrison. Lei is a stay at home mom and Dan owns his own business who lays carpet in LDS churches.

Dani is a couple years younger than I am. She recently moved back from Pennsylvania and is working at a restaurant as a server. She likes to mingle with the customers and party with her friends. She was also afraid to take a picture by her self...that is why my parents appear again. :)
She also has a dog named Jack. He is the black lab and the other puppy is named Gizmo. He and Chase are best little buddies.

My youngest sister is named Britt. Her and her husband have three little kids. Aulbanie who just started pre-school loves to play with the older cousins and be a grown up. She has a great little personality. Kennlei, is next and she talks very little. She grunts in place of talking it can be really funny at time, but she is learning. Kaiden was born earlier this year. In fact, he was born 3 days after they were sealed in the Bountiful Temple as a family. It was a very special day. They just topped the week of by having a baby! :) Britt is a stay at home mom and Chad works for TSA (airport security).

Well, that is the clan! They whole lot of them. We are a large, loud, family which makes family get togethers rather interesting. Many of our best times are spent reminiscing about our childhood.

The Family on Christmas Day 2009!
