Easter Weekend/Brooke's Birthday

I got to go home to celebrate Brooke's birthday and Resurrection Sunday. It was a nice but busy weekend. We got to color some eggs and hang out at my sister's house for a while. That was nice, because I done that in a while. I had to run to Altoona to pick something up, and since Ryan was napping I just left him there... hehe. Saturday was the Bob's Creek clean up. I didn't participate, because I had to help get ready for Brooke's party, but I went up early in the morning to have some great breakfast with the guys at the barn. Then it was time for Brooke's 12th birthday party. It was a nice time, but I cannot believe that she is 12... wow. Sunday we just went to Ryan's church then ate all day. Linda made lasaugna for lunch, then my mom made some ham and all of the fixings for dinner. Before I knew it, it was time again to leave my baby and head back to Buffalo :-( ....I am excited though, because in a few weeks I get to go to Potter County for the annual Ickes fishing trip. I had such a wonderful time last year with my babe, and I have been looking forward to going again.


I love him!

Ryan was so excited about coloring eggs!!!

We sure had fun coloring eggs... hehe

Spring Break

Sorry for not blogging in a long time. I have been horrible with taking pictures and updating this thing lately...... I got to go home for a few days at the end of spring break to visit. It had been six weeks since I was last home, so I was very anxiuos for the trip. It was a fun time, but it went by way to fast. I had a lot of appointments and errands to get in while I was home, and I also had to have surgery to remove the plate and screws from my leg. My sister Ginette was up from Florida, and I got to spend some time with her which was nice. I did have a wonderful time at home, especially with my love Ryan. He is so amazing. I can't wait for the day when I no longer have to leave him.

Christmas 2006 and New Year's 2007

I got to spend some time at home for Christmas and New Year's. It was a wonderful time, but it went too fast. Also, it didn't feel too much like Christmas time, because of the warm weather. However, the weather made for some great fishing.... so my babe got to give his new rod a workout. He caught some pretty nice fish.

He was pulling nice ones out right and left

This one was probably the nicest

What a stud!


CHRISTMAS EVE
Christmas eve we spent out at Ryan's house. We ate good food and exchanged gifts. Ryan surprized me with diamond earrings... seeing as he wasn't supposed to buy me anything else. He is incredible. I think I had some good surprizes for him too.

GAME NIGHT
The day after Christmas, we had game night at my house. All I can say is that the girls dominated the boys in both 80's Trivial Pursuit and Guestures!

WRESTLING
I got to watch Ryan and Brandon coach a few matches and a tournament when I was home. I also got to go lift weights and run at their practices, which was good because of how much food I ate when I was home... hehe. I also went with the team to see Rocky Balboa.

NEW YEAR'S EVE
New Year's Eve, we went out to Uncle John's and had more good food. The guys played poker almost all night. At least Ryan won some money.
