Ryan and Miranda’s Blog

Welp… we’ve had a busy week- definately looking forward to FRIDAY and the weekend!!  Memorial Day weekend was filled with fun– Saturday we went to the Kenny concert in Columbus. Also managed to get alittle shopping in down at Easton! Sunday and Monday we built a deck! Correction, my dad and Ryan built a deck…. I helped with one of the post holes and then quit. But my mom and I did end up having to go to Home Depot 3 times for the boys. How do you underestimate something by over half?!?!?! Anyways, while the boys were building, my mom and I cooked and worked on the flower bed behind the garage– and thanks to the boys, we have a perfectly level swing.  It was exhausting though!! Pictures coming soon (after my mom sends them to me…hint hint!).

Let’s see… what else? Denali turned 16 weeks today!! We’ve been teaching her to ring a bell on the patio door when she needs to go potty. Ryan called me today to tell me that she put her nose on the bell– twice– and then went potty outside!! Yay for potty training!! I really can’t wait for the day we can put the papertowels and pet spray away! Along the lines of pets, Jelly lost his first tooth! (Yes kittens lose their teeth). He was keeping it in his fur… kind of gross. We were supposed to have an appointment with the “dog whisperer” Wednesday night- but apparently he forgot to put us in his blackberry so he never showed. I guess technology can only get you so far…. We’re rescheduled for next Friday June 5th.

On the wedding front– we have a photographer!! We will be meeting with him Wednesday June 3rd! He was my sis’s photographer for her wedding and we loved him so there’s no question! He actually had June 26th already booked until recently- the other person changed her date to June 19th so we got LUCKY!!!

That’s all folks!! (for now!)

Just an update on how the kids are getting along… Denali has had quite a few “accidents” but she’s learning. She  had a dry crate last night and all day while we were at work! Not sure what is going on between Denali and Jelly- they play but then Jelly ends up crying like someone is killing him. Hopefully they will get along better soon- it’s kind of stressful to break them up all the time.

Wedding: We don’t have anymore appointments for reception halls coming up- so I think we’re ALMOST ready to make our final decision! The church hunt continues- and we still think HCC sucks!

Well, we’re off to play with Denali in the yard!! (Sorry that was a pretty boring post!)

After we were a half hour late to Stan Hywet, we went to visit a German shepherd breeder in Medina. We were originally going to wait until July 4th to get an 8 week old puppy, but 14 week old Denali wanted to come home with us today! Her name at the breeder’s was “Sapphire”, but we changed it . We’ve only had one “accident” in the car– on Ryan’s winter hat– and one “accident” in the house. I think she peed on his hat for easy clean up. She was just helping us out!! Denali and Jelly seem to be getting along rather well. Jelly hisses sometimes, but they have been romping around and playing. We took Denali to Petsmart (since we were not prepared to bring a puppy home today) and she was VERY popular- everyone that walked by us commented on how good she was being and how cute she is! Now she’s sleeping– what a LONG day for her!

Our new addition!

 Well that’s the update of our kids!

Wedding Update– Stan Hywet was beautiful but not what we’re looking for in a reception facility so we might just end up taking pictures there!! We highly recommend taking a trip out there- it really is gorgeous!!
