Time to Relocate!

So I was thinking, and I'm pretty sure our apartment hasn't been cleaned/organized since before we had Jaeda. Ever since we had her - and have purchased necessary baby items, there isn't any room....for ANYTHING! Our apartment is SO small - Jaeda's stuff is taking up the space of her entire bedroom (Except for the pathway to her crib, dresser, and rocking chair) plus 2 corners of the living room (and it's a small living room). We got rid of our piano cuz neither of us was playing it and we needed the space. The closets are jam packed with mostly mine and Jaeda's clothes. The sorage closet is filled with Ryan's pre mission stuff, my sewing stuff, christmas decorations, and tools. The bathroom has a toddler tub hogging the floor and the bathroom "counter" is covered with my face wash, make up, beauty supplies, ryans shaving stuff - etc.... Every single shelf we own is filled with books, cds, mini disks, etc..... It seems like the only empty space we have is in the fridge :-( Anywho - it's driving us NUTS so we're looking for a new apartment. I'm pretty sure we're either gonna end up at our old complex (cedar chateau) or a complex on the South Hill. Wish us luck! We need to be outta this place ASAP before one of us goes crazy............ scratch that, before I go crazy, Haha.

Another Fun Week

So remember that week that I was totally sick with some stomach virus? See - I thought that was a pretty rough week.... but I was so very wrong. This last week .... starting Tuesday, I was breaking out with hives with a little swelling in my ears. Wednesday it was hives, rashes, and swelling in the ears, eyes, knees, and feet. Wednesday and Thursday night I couldn't take care of myself or Jaeda, so I stayed at my families while they took care of Jaeda and I tried not to move a muscle cuz everything ached, itched, and burned! Friday the rashes and hives went down, but my feet were very very VERY swollen - I could barely walk. Saturday it was mostly rash and swollen feet. Sunday it was rashes, and today it seems like most of the rashes are gone, but now my left shoulder and my right knee joints are in SO much pain - I can't really use them. Every time someone asked me to hand them something, I'd try to reach with my right arm and I'd cry out in pain - I'm pretty sure everyone thought I was being over dramatic, but it REALLY HURTS! Anywho - I'm glad to say no picture were taken of me during my red-raised rash-swelling days, but I did take one picture of my eye with my cell phone. You can see I have a rash on my entire eyelikd and a lil hive above the corner of my outer eye. This was a day before my eyes got really bad.

So, speaking with - it was an allergic reaction - we're not sure what to, but we think it's either our new dryer sheets (I had to re wash all of my clothes) or that little bite of an egg roll I had on Monday night. ....... stupid egg rolls.

Because of this crazy week of not being able to do ANYTHING AT ALL - I didn't get a chance to tell everyone that Jaeda can totally crawl now! And she also likes to make out with herself in the mirror -
Oh, and I also made Jaeda's easter dress - but I didn't get any picture on my camera - Diana has them all on her camera - as soon as I get them, they'll definitely be posted.

Super Slider Tournament

The things people come up with during there free time! Right? I was hanging out with my family on Sunday and we decided to go to the park. I don't know what it's called - but we called it a "super slider." So you know what I'm talking about - here is a video of Shadrach using it-


So we had played a game that Cindy said was played at a family reunion on Aaron Jensen's side. The rules are this: You must go back and forth as many times as you can without touching the ground and without touching the poles. Once you let go, you're done! It was pretty HILARIOUS! I got a video of everyone doing it, so I'll post them from Loser to Winner:

Mom - Score: 1

Spencer & Cindy - Score: 2

Diana - Score: 2.5


Yvonne - Score: 3.5

Me & Sam - Score: 4

Michal - Score: 6

Chase with the winning score of 7 ...... and then his not so very impressive run...

And there you have it. Don't you wish you could spend more time with that Ramos family? FYI - for those of you coming to Spokane this Summer - start training, cuz we're totally doing the Super Slider competition again, haha.
