Bath time

Ryan loves bath-time, especially now because he gets to be in the big tub. He finally has enough hair for us to play with in the tub and he loves splashing in the water. Here are a few pics from tonight's bath. He scratched his eye on Friday so it's still a little red from that.

Dry Mountain Peak

James and I decided to go camping and hiking before the season was over. A few weekends ago James' mom watched Ryan overnight and we went camping at Payson Lakes campground. It was beautiful! The next morning we attempted to hike Dry Mountain Peak. This mountain was only 2 miles round trip, but so incredibly steep. James made it to the top, but I didn't. We still had lots of fun and it was a nice break from being parents for the night.

Journaling

I have been challenged to write in my "journal" 5 times a week. I'm going to do this through my blog since it is my "journal". I'm determined to meet this challenge so you should see more postings for the next 6 weeks. Some things to look forward to are pictures of the cute baby and some pics of my new hair. It's nothing like I've ever done to my hair so stay tuned for updates!

Month of July

We have been up to lots in the Meyer household. James' Aunt Kathleen, Grandma Meyer, and Cousin Nephi came to visit so Grandma Meyer could meet her Great-Grandson. We went on a hike to Donut Falls in Big Cottonwood Canyon. I'll include some pictures at the end, but to read more about it go to James' hiking website here. Also if you would like to "like" Utah Hiking Info on Facebook you can get notified whenever new hikes are posted. They post two hikes a week in Utah and they post hikes that range from family and kid friendly to hikes for experienced hikers and backpackers. You can also follow utahhiking on twitter to get notified as well. I'll also throw in some cute pictures of Ryan at the end because you know that's why you are really here.

Fiesta Days 2010

We took Ryan to Spanish Fork's Fiesta Days today. It's probably about a 1/5 of the size of the Provo Freedom Festival but it was fun to get out in the Sun and walk around. It's only a 15 minute walk from our house to where the festival was and parking was a beast so we packed up Ryan in the stroller and walked over to the festival. We ate yummy food and then on our walk back home got some shaved ice snow-cones. We let Ryan have a few bites and his reaction was quite funny. Even though he hated the cold he kept wanting more and more.

You'll have to click on the picture to really see how funny it was.

Forever Friday

Many of you know that James and I used to be in a band with some of our good friends Mark and Shiloh. James and Mark played guitar, Shiloh played drums and I sang. For awhile we had a drummer named Jon and another guitarist named Greg. Everyone has since moved from Utah and moved on with life, but many of you have asked to hear our songs so I thought I would finally post them on here. The first one is Everlasting Maze that James and I wrote and the second is Lame that Mark wrote. I also included some pictures at the end. We performed at Hollywood Juice Cafe, Froyo twice, Fresh Cup Coffee House twice, BBQs, and BYU's Battle of the Bands. It was a lot of fun while it lasted, but life came and split us apart as we all had kids and moved away.

St. George Family Reunion Trip

We went to St. George for a family reunion with James' family. Here are pics from the trip.

A few of us went golfing. I had only been to a driving range before, so it was fun to actually golf.

We had a pool at the house we were renting so we swam a ton. We tried Ryan swimming. He didn't like it too much. Especially when the other kids were in the water, because they would accidentally splash him in the face. We did get some family swim time in though.

Ryan had lots of playtime with Mommy and Daddy

There was even a crib in our room for him to sleep in

We went to Snow Canyon State Park and ate lunch and played on the Sand Dunes and hiked through Jenny's Canyon

We also went to the St. George Narrows or the Red Crack and squeezed our way through it.

We also got to go to the temple with some of the family
