My New Office!

As you know I switched where I work to a mortgage bank (Security Home Mortgage) and it has been wonderful. I have more business than I've had before and my stress level is far less become of the amount of control we have over our loans. Anyhow it's great!

So they recently posted the numbers for the 1st quarter of 2010 and I am number 5 in the company for production (no, not out of 5 people...there's about 35 loan officers :) anyhow, so I recently got awarded with a new office which I really like. I have posted some pictures below of what it looks like.

I've spent the last week decorating it and trying to make it look professional. Christine hasn't even seen this yet. My office has art work from my Grandma (who is an excellent artist), some live plants (that I picked out) and a picture from my mission of me in front of the mayan ruins of Tulum that Christine framed for me.

Sweet Matthew

Here's Matthew awake and happy! How cute is he?!

It's so fun to have new colors to dress my baby in besides pink and purple (although that was fun, too). Yay for blue and green!

What a handsome smile... and he's only five weeks old!!!

He loves to have his hands up by his face, or on his ear in this case!

He's just so little. Isn't he adorable?!

I have no idea why there's a hot pad on him... random.

The New Van!!!

We are so excited to have a van now! It's really nice to have so much space! It's also nice to have two cars again so Ryan doesn't have to pick up groceries on his way home from work anymore and I can get out of the house during the day!

We'll hopefully also be starting to take Kaylee and maybe Alyssa to music or dance or swimming lessons soon! Oh, the possibilities! Mommy's just waiting to see how I can handle three kids, one of whom is a newborn. But anyway, if there's somewhere we all want to go, we now have a vehicle to get us there!

I wish I had a picture of the cupholders because those are Alyssa's favorite things! She loves to have them right next to her seat and uses them to store sippy cups, toys, or feet! (Yes, feet.)

Thanks, Ryan, for working so hard for our family. (He's been wanting to do this for us for awhile now, and we're so happy he achieved that goal!) We're also very grateful that Heavenly Father is blessing Ryan's efforts at work so that he can continue to meet his financial goals.

My Girls!

The babies home!

Here is Alyssa making her funny faces at the new baby!

My incredible wife, who did an amazing job and still looks amazing to boot!

 

Here are the girls getting there first look at the new baby!

Thanks Heidi for helping with the girls! Her helping allowed me (Ryan) to be with Christine throughout the day and to also stay the night at the hospital.

I can't tell if he's sleeping or just mad at the sunlight beeming in on him. :)

My two (too) cute girls getting to hold there baby brother for the first time! They are sooo excited to get him home so they can "help" with him. They plan on singing him songs and making silly faces at him.

I think Kaylee even wants to give him piggy back rides. Right after telling me she would do that she then said that she doesn't need piggy back rides anymore from me because she is too big. :)

The babies blood sugar got low and so they made us feed him with a bottle. Kaylee felt so good helping and reminded her mother how good of a helper she was the next day. That's me after sleeping at the hospital. :)
