The Fitzwaters crazy, but sometimes boring life lately =)

Fitzwater News

It seams like life has been a little bit crazy. We have had a few life changing(sorta) events. First of all Rye did not get into the school we wanted him to, well he got in but it is completely full, so we are on the waiting list, so we are in turmoil. We dont know what to do!!!! It's so sad! They told him he was high on the waiting list, and that 10% of the students always drop, but that's all they could tell us. So, we are just hoping they call us within at LEAST a week before the class starts, so we can at least have a week to get there.....sucky tho. BUT the other issue is Rye's current job. You may all probably be aware of the falling oil field. SO, the hole point of us even being in Farmington is to make some money so we can attend Rye's school and survive. We have been blessed to be making really good money, but last week they informed Rye and everyone Else that their paychecks would be cut by 60% What the heck, right!!! So we have decided oh well, at least Rye can be to church every Sunday, and we have got a beautiful, strange, amazing little squash baby named Holden. What more do you need!!! Love You all!!!

oh, here are some pictures from this last month. We went home for the fourth and camped all week with my family. It was sooooo fun! Holden was so fun. He loves to be outside and drive the four wheeler. Such a BOY!!!

My little brothers made their own swing, Rye still cant walk right!!!

Pictures

So we got Holdens pictures taken and I am so happy with them! I thought they turned out sooo cute. I was dying laughing because some of the pictures captured him so well! He reminds me soooo much of rye. He was so grumpy so I was glad some turned out so good.

little updates for the fitzwater

UPDATE



Well not much has happened with us. We have actually been able to do a lot of things together as family which is soooooo nice. We have got to the lake a few times and just got back from Albuquerque last night. We had a great time. We went to the zoo again (Holden just loves it) and the Temple and stuff. Life is going great. I am a little bored with out school, but Holden and I have just been enjoying life. He loves to go to the city pool, so that's fun. Rye, works like a mad man. He is such great husband and provider, almost to good. Anyway, love you all. Rye took the 24th off so hopefully we will see some of ya!

Holden refuses to let anybody else push the stroller! He loves driving things-- Holden at the zoo

Holden and our family at the zoo.....He is so funny check out his face in the family picture!


daddy loves to sing in the truck. Holden just stares at him with that weird smile on his face when rye sings, it kills us! --- Holden got into Ryes tools and got liquid meddle sealant all over!!!! so hard to get off of him!

Everyday when Rye gets home he has to push Holden up the driveway and let him roll back in his Tonka truck! it's so funny. -- Holden will not get out of the car until I let him pretend drive for about 45 mins!!! he will literally just sit there with his hands on the wheel.

Got Er Done!

Temple and time with family!Holdens favorite part about going to the Temple, riding the golf cart!!!!! Sweety pie!

We had so much support and love! Thank You, this was only half of them!

My Boys!!!

So, We went through the Temple on the 27th. I can still not even talk about it with out crying. It was so good for us. And now we get to keep our sweet family for all eternity. I am so thankful for Rye and Holden, and all our family and friends. We had so much support. (mert I Missed ya!) What A special day! We went home to Utah so we could be with family. While we were home we were able to go and spend some time with Ryes Family in Nevada at their Ranch, and It was soooooo Fun!!! I love riding, and we were able to do some and just have some fun. We got to just sleep out there the whole time. Rye's family is so great! HOlden would wake up and run for the door, ready to play with the animals and throw rocks! We also really enjoyed my family. I love seeing my brothers and sister. Rye's sister also got married over the weekend, and it was so beautiful and fun!!! I loved seeing all the wood's and fitzwaters (cassie, I had a blast with you!!!) Russell, Cassie, joe, jessica and I did some major dancing!! all in all we had a great visit home. And will always cherish the 27th......

Some Random pictures of the Ranch, family, swimming, and the reservoir......

Fun weekend, and Mothers day!

Happy Mothers Day to all you wonderful mothers!!!! By far the hardest job on this earth would have to be being a mother, so way to go! Well, I just thought that I would post a little of a lot....if that makes sense. Rye was able to get a couple of days off in a row, and we were so happy! We went out riding and to the carnival, and we went to Mesa Verde national Park, Which was amazing! I have been all over the country seen beaches and waterfalls, and you get the point, and this was by far the coolest thing ever. So much history! It was just fun to see some amazing Indian history, and I had seen pictures throughout my whole life and always wanted to go there. We were able to do a ton of hiking to, which kinda sucked because we forgot Holdens baby pack :( We had a great weekend though. I had to post my mothers day card from Holden;) because I about died laughing. Rye is such a sweet man, he spoiled me this mothers day. But Holdens card and balloon was by far the best.....The pictures will explain!

You are probably wondering the same thing I was....What the heck does that balloon have to do with mothers day, and than I read the card! What a wierdo!!!!!

Family Pictures

We had some new family pictures taken last week for something my mom is doing for us for when we go through the temple next month(YAY!!!). I asked Ricci Harvey to take them, and so she drove all the way from Durango to take them. (What a great friend I have!) She did such a great job. I scrapbooked them and thought I would post them for the grandmas.......

Spending Easter With Family!

My dad going down the slide with his grandbabies! We couldnt believe it.

My favorite kids around!!!

We had such a great trip home. It was such a fun surprise that we were able to go home for Easter. We didn't find out until the day we went home, but we were happy! We went home on thursday. Friday I went shoping with my mom and sisters. It was so nice just to be with them. Sat. was such a blast. Holdens first Easter! Rye took him to the annual Enterprise shin-dig, which was scary for him, ha ha. Then we headed to Saint George for the Moyle Easter get together. It was so fun. We hadn't seen most of them since Christmas. Holden had a blast! (As you can see above) He was on his third easter egg hunt for the day, and was finally getting the hang of it! Sunday was nice, We got to go spend some time with Ryes family, it was soooo nice. We were so Thankful that we were able to see everyone, even if it was for only two days. We cant wait until the end of May, so we can spend some good time!

Family Trip

We had such a fun family trip. We only had two days, ha ha, so we did all we could. We went to Albuquerque Friday, and swam and had a great time. Holden loved the water, and Rye and I made some crazy friends! Rye had racing competitions with a bunch of little girls, it was pretty funny. We also went to the zoo. I loved it!!! There were so many animals. Holden was in shock the whole time. It was so beautiful. After that we watched the free-style motocross competition. Holden was in heaven! He loved it. There was a live band, and Holden just rocked out the whole time. Everyone around fell in love with him. Even the gangsters sitting behind us. He had all the old ladies wrapped around his little finger, kisses and all. It was a ton of fun.
-I Started online scrapbooking, which I love!!!! and thought I would post some pages I did for this trip :)
