Elder Ryan Wiemer

My little brother Ryan is doing great on his Washington D.C. Spanish speaking mission and sends letters and pictures every week to the family to keep us all posted. Here is his latest picture: (He is on the left)

What, are we just the cutest couple ever? J/K

Jeff's cousin Traci got married this past Friday and at her reception had a photo booth. What a cute idea! Here is our pict. from it...everyone else was treating it like a kissing booth...so we did the same!

On a side note...we are moving on Tuesday!!! I am so excited to rent out a house from my friend Tiffany. She and her husband have been kind enough to let us rent one of their beautiful homes in Cortina. Queen Creek here we come!

Funniest picture ever!

Jeff and I are going through old family photos and ran across this one. He he it is hilarious! Scott, Jeff's brother, is the one in the back! He hates roller coasters to no end. It is so funny...we are all enjoying ourselves and Scott is so scared.

Science Center

Tuesday Jeff had a day off work so we headed on down to the AZ Science Center. I went there one time before with my ASU college class and remember having a lot of fun. I guess I was younger and had a bunch of goofy soon-to-be-teacher girls with me because I remeber it differently. There were buses left and right dropping off field trip crazy elementary schoolage kids and it was pretty crowded. Brody loved the weather portion of the center and watched a fake volcano errupt.
Also, what a turtle eats according to Brody:

Thurdsday Carousel Ride

Every Thursday Brody and I have been heading on down to Superstition Springs mall for the Duper Show and free Carousel ride. Brody dances and laughs! I even ran into a high school friend-Jami Lovell and her little adorable red head boy. Jeff got to zoom over on his lunch break and take Brody around the carousel. I totally spelled wrong in the pict...oh well!

My Little boy

Brody loves to play with items like nail polish, vacuums, hairspray, and makeup. I guess he watched me too closely. Yesturday I went out in the backyard and found him like this:


Just when I think that I am raising Brody too girly...

the kid tries to clober me with the broom

and he hits me (while cracking up laughing)!!!!

We've got a temper problem

I am learning that Brody has some serious temper issues. When that kid gets mad I just get out of his royal way. Can you believe that he is not even in his terrible twos yet? Today cousin Raiden was teasing him with a toy and Brody yelled, clenched his fists, and threw himself on the ground. He's still the cutest boy in the world, but I am a little nervous to see what the future temper will bring. On another note, we have been trying to qualify for a home loan and I am sad to report that our first try was rejected...second place is not saying good things. We have absolutly no debt except for one car loan and the dreaded school loans. Our stinkin school loans are so massive that we will be retired, not able to go to IHOP because we have to save our money for our monthly school loan bill. I guess the worse thing that would happen to us would be that we rent. Not the worst in the world. More info on that to come...
