Merry Christmas






Look what her Daddy bought her...







Jilly LOVED the paper more than anything else haha








Hi Mommy!

Well our first Ryan Christmas with Jillian went wonderful. She got lots of wonderful gifts from everyone. Although I think her favorite gift of all was the PAPER!haha. She loved it! We had a great weekend at home with Charlie. It was so great to spend 4 days with him instead of 2! Charlie bought Jillian a little car for her to ride on..(though she isn't quite ready for it yet) It was still so cute. Her grandma and great grandma spoiled her rotten..as usual.haha. And some of the pics are just for fun that kinda happend over the weekend..like her driving and her standing up. She is just getting so big it is hard to believe. She is going to be 1 in like 3 months! Charlie and I had Date Night on Saturday..it was great. We went and saw the new Chipmunks movie..it was adorable..and this week we are going to go to dinner! I am so blessed to have Charlie in my life and I love him so much! We got lots of great things for Christmas..I got a new Crockpot from my mom which I needed so desperatley because mine broke..and I got a new coffee pot from Charlies mom..which I also needed really bad. Plus I got the first season of One Tree Hill..which is my new favorite tv show. Charlie got lots of great things..I bought him a game he wanted and some clippers so cut his hair..and he let me! He looks so handsome again.haha. Anyway..I hope everyone's Christmas was as great as ours. I wish you all the best blessings and may God Bless you in this New Year!

We need Prayer..now more than ever

Well Charlie and I have been struggling financially the last couple of months, but these last two months have really caught up to us. We seem to be struggling even more. We are trying to refinance our mortgage for a cheaper payment, and it just seems like B of A doesn't want to work with us. They lowered our payment a whole $150. So instead of a $1150 payment its $1000. Still way too high for us. And now we are trying to maybe trade in our Mustang for a cheaper more economical car and I'm afraid we might be upside down it. I've been on the phone and internet all morning trying to configure ways for us to make it. If we can't make our house payment or car..we are going to lose them both. Charlie is so stressed out and I feel so bad for him, he is doing his very best to provide for his family and its just not enough. We have too many bills and not enough money coming in. There is a good chance we are going to try to short sell our house and go back to an apartment. And we could get our car repoed. I have been praying every night hoping God will interfear with our finances. But I think He needs more than just my prayers. So please...just pray for us. I am so scared and trying to find a job to help pay for all these bills and I don't want Charlie to feel inadequate or stressed out the way he has for last couple of months. So I just ask that you say a little prayer for our family..and in return if anyone needs anything or any prayers for anything..please let me know and I will be there to pray and show my support for all of you. Thank you and God Bless all of you.

Jillian and Carden

Well Charlie and I just got back from SL today..we had a great trip..kinda long..but great. We watched Albert and Ricky wrestle and they both won all their matches..so that was great! Way to go guys! Jillian did really well..got passed around alot!haha. But she did great..I was so proud. Next weekend its Moon Valley!yay. After the wrestling we went to Charlie's cousins' house and Jilly met Carden..(she's met him before but they were real little) Carden is Jilly's second cousin..he is just the cutest little thing..(well after Jilly that is..haha) They were both kinda cranky because it was late, but they talked to each other and it was just a really nice visit. We miss them so much! But here are just a few pictures of them..you'll have to excuse Jilly's "hat hair" haha..she had a beanie on because it was soooooo cold.lol. Hope everyone is well; and Merry Christmas!

My Big Beautiful Nakie Girl

These are just some adorable pictures I took of Jillian while she was in the tub last night. She has just grown so much and now sitting up like a big girl and just splashing and playing away. Already 8 months old..I just can't believe how fast the time has gone. I just grow to love her each day and I love seeing all the new things she does and discovers. I hope no one gets offended that she is nakie...I just love nakie pictures and you can't see anything...hopefully you will think they are adorable like I do.haha. Well hope everyone is well...and Merry Christmas!

Torreon Tea

Me and my momma before the Tea
Me, Noah and Aspen (the siblings)

Me and them again


I brought "Myie, Myie (as Noah calls her) they just adore her)



Noah James and "Myie, Myie"




Well Friday night I went up to Show Low, by myself! (what an experience) Charlie took Jilly May to a wrestling tourney up in Flagstaff to watch her Uncle Ricky and Albert. They boys did really well; Ricky took first and won outstanding wrestler and Albert took second. Good job boys! I guess Jilly did really well, Charlie said she got passed around.....ALOT.haha. Everyone stood in line to hold her haha. Needless to say Daddy and Jillian had a great time and got to bond which I think is just wonderful. I went to Show Low because my mom invited me to the Torreon Tea. Its where alot of the Christian Church's on the mountain get together and they have singing, fellowship and a guest speaker. It was such a powerful message. The guest speaker this year was Nancy Stidham who was a teacher at Blue Ridge High School. She told us some stories about how she became to know the Lord and how he has blessed her and worked through her life. It was just wonderful and I really walked away feeling so blessed. And she just really opened my eyes and helped me to pray about the proticals and trials that we have in our lives. It was such a powerful message and I am so glad I went. The food was fantastic! We had an Asian chicken salad, pumpkin cranberry muffin and pumpkin pie for dessert. We sang songs and the girls who performed were great; it was just such a blessed time to visit with everyone and we had 150 ladies show up this year. (forgot to mention its just ladies that go)haha. Well anyway, all in all we had a great weekend, and even though Charlie and I were only away from each other for the night, we really missed one another and I just want to thank God for bringing him to me. I am truly so blessed and can't thank God enough for blessing me with such a wonderful family. And may God bless all of you!

Jillian tried a Sweet Pickle and LOVED it!haha



Jilly and one of her cousins




All bundled up for the Game! (Jillys first Snow!)





It was SOOOOO Cold! (it snowed like crazy!)






Well Happy Late Turkey Day to everyone! I don't know about all of you, but my Thanksgiving was WONDERFUL! We went over to Charlie's grandparents house for Thanksgiving and we all had a blast. The food was terrific and the company was great! I ate so much and gained like 3lbs! Haha..but oh so worth it! Friday Charlie and I went CRAZY Black Friday shopping! It was nuts, but we got everyone done for Christmas. Which is a relief. I just can't wait for Christmas, its my favorite time of year! Saturday we went to Flagstaff and watched the SL vs. BR football game. We lost, but it was still a good game and I got to visit with alot of friends which was nice. All in all we had a great weekend and Jillian was really well-behaved which helped. I hope everyone had a great weekend and Thank you for reading!

Jilly May and Mylie Moo



Well hello all! Nothing much to tell...these are just some pictures of last night..we were goofing around together with our little Jilly May and Mylie Moo. We spent some time together as a family and just kinda hung out. It was nice. You know it never ceases to amaze me how my little JillyBean grows everyday. She just learns how to do things every week. Recently, she has learned to spit with her tongue and now she seems to hit everything haha. She is also so very close to rolling over back to belly. I just grow to love her each and everyday more and more. Having Jillian is the best thing Charlie and I ever did..she just enriches our lives everyday and I can't wait to try for another one.

Vegas!

My Jilly May in VEGAS!
This is Doris (my new aunt) playing and talking to Jillian

He is such a little Ham!



SpongeBob! Zach, Noah and Aspen (Circus, Circus)




Ahhh...Vegas, Sin City, it never ceases to amaze me how people could live there! Especially with kids! Well Jillian and I left last Tuesday with my grandma for Vegas. And let me tell you..5 hours with my Grandma in an enclosed car was practically torture. Don't get me wrong I love my grandma to death..but she rambles and repeats herself and lets face it we have nothing in common. She will never say it, but I know she doesn't like Charlie and she hates the fact that I'm so close to my mom and she is jealous she doesn't have that with my mom. Anywhoo..needless to say the trip was forever long! Jillian did great in the car..slept like the entire time. We stopped in Kingman to eat lunch and we were lucky we didn't hit any traffic at Hoover Dam. We got to Vegas and checked in and met up with everyone later. There was alot of people I hadn't seen in forever. My mom's dad and his wife, my Uncle Steve came from Thailand which was awesome bc I hadn't seen him since I was 8! The visiting went great, and Wednesday my Uncle Rick married Doris whom he has been dating for 21 years!!! It was great, the chapel was so cute and they got adorable pictures done. We weren't allowed to take any though! Unfortunetly I didn't get to take very many pictures...Jillian really wasn't very well-behaved. She was so cranky and I really didn't get to enjoy myself like I wanted. Wednesday night though my mom watched her so I could go out with my cousin Sarah. We played this game called the BIG 6! I won $60 playing and we played for 2 hours..I had a lot of fun with her..and it was so nice to see everyone and visit. The trip home went okay..my grandma had a dizzy spell while driving though and almost passed out! So we almost got into a bad accident, luckily God was on our side! All in all it was a really good trip and I'm so glad I got to go..bummed Charlie couldn't make it, but it was great. Thanks for reading and God Bless everyone!

SL Game

Well we all went to the SL vs. Estrella Foothills game and it was awesome! SL won and everyone was so excited. We saw quite a few people there. Jillian was actually really well behaved. We got to see some old friends. I finally got to see Chelsea which was awesome; Preston is just adorable! And we got to catch up which was nice to have interaction with another woman.haha. Anyway..Jillian and I are leaving tomorrow for VEGAS! I can' t wait; its a shame Charlie can't make it though. But this is really important to me...there is going to be people there that haven't seen Jillian or even me for that matter. My grandpa is going and it will honestly probably be the only time he will ever see Jillian while he is alive. And my Uncle Steve who lives in Tailand now..is going and he hasn't seen me since I was 8! So its a Wedding celebration and a family reunion in one! I'm so excited! I will take lots of Pictures and blog about it when I get back! Bless you all!

Off We go!

Showing off the Buddah Belly haha


Daddy and Jilly



Mommy and Jilly




Our first House "Trick or Treat!"





Cutest LadyBug EVER!




Well Trick or Treating went wonderfully! Jillian had so much fun! She absolutely loved going to each house getting all the attention. Everyone thought she was just a doll! Charlie and I had so much fun trick or treating with her. Not to mention she is just the cutest LadyBug ever!haha. I must say I have to agree with Chelsea; Time goes by so fast and I can't believe my little JillyBean is 7 months old already! She is eating her cereal and baby food 3 times a day, and drinking 7-9oz bottles. She is starting to sit up...but still needs some work. She talks like crazy, saying "mama" which I can't hear enough of. She absolutely loves me to read to her. She is rolling over belly to back and SO close to rolling over back to belly. She loves to go on walks everyday...we have made it a habit. And it is the cutest thing to see her light up when daddy gets home from work! She really just enriches our lives everyday and i'm so excited for the months and years to come! God sure did bless our little family! God Bless Everyone!

October Update

Play Time
Keys on the Toes

JillyBean Sitting up Alone

Here are a few random pics...the last one is kinda hard to see...but its Jillian sitting up by herself.
Well I figured it was time for an update on the Ryan's. Well, we added a new addition to our family...her name is Lilly and she is a purebred Siberian Husky! She is gorgeous and fits right in with our little family. Jillian is growing like a weed! She is rolling over like crazy, talking, cooing...she is just growing up so fast. I did have to take her back to the DR, she has acid reflex again, and so her tummy isn't feeling too good. But the medicine seems to be helping, hopefully tomorrow we can start back on her solid foods. So wish us luck. Charlie has been working like crazy, but he is such a wonderful husband. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband who does everything for his family. And as for me..well I'm looking for a part-time job, but its going slow. Charlie said in 2 years when he finishes his apprenticeship we can have another baby and I can stay home full time. Other than that, everything is going good, and we are all happy and healthy! Take care and God Bless!
