babies, road blocks, and houses!

i know, i know. its been too long again. 
there is lots to blog about.
ready? go!

end of august, my first nephew came into the world!
i got to go see him right away, i think he was 3ish hrs old when i got there.
little Harrison Clark Reinsch
he is  precious and i can't stay away from him!
of course, he's already a month old and much bigger.
i am his favorite aunt
and he's pretty fond of my mr. too
(this picture gets me everytime...my mr. will be an amazing daddy someday)



next...
this past week has been a trying one
my mr and i were faced with a big trial
i feel so blessed to have Josh by my side.
he strengthens me and helps me have a more eternal perspective.
i know Heavenly Father has a plan for me and my family.
sometimes its hard to see and we have to just trust that He knows what is best for us.
life goes on, and we are recovering from this crazy unexpected road block
our love for each other is that much stronger




moving on....
our house is looking much more like a house! 
here's some pics i took within a week of each other

so exciting right!!!
i can't wait until its finished and ready for us to move in!
until then, we will patiently wait...

life is so good (even with trials)

handprints

our little house is slowly, but surely, being built! 
this week we were able to go see it on friday.
they were pouring the cement for the garage so guess what we got to do....





we put our very first decorative details into our house! 
it was a small thing but it made me that much more excited for our  new house!

life is good :)

6 months and some exciting news!

today marks 6 months from the day that my mr. fryer and i were married!
there's nothing special planned for today though.
we both have work and the mr. has army duties tonight.
but still, we made it :)
we have been so blessed in these first 6 months.
we made the decision to move, and immediately found somewhere to live
within a month of moving, we both had jobs
we both love our jobs
the mr. was approved for financial aid for school!
we know Heavenly Father has led us in these 6 months and we are both so grateful to him!
it has been a wonderful 6 months! 
i'd say the best 6 months of my life,
 but i know that the next 6, and the next, and the next...etc...will be just as good!
thank you to all who have made the first 6 months of marriage amazing! 
espcially to my mr. 
he is so wonderful and i love him!

now, for the exciting news....
drum-roll please!!!

we are purchasing a home!!!
it is a cute little town home and we love it! 
it is a new construction home so it won't be ready for us until the end of december.
it will be such a great first christmas gift to the both of us!
we are both so excited!
right now it is just the foundation in the ground 
but here is the website, so you can all go have a look at how it will look when its finished! :)

life is good!

hang time summer camp!

this past week has been filled with summer camp.
i've done a summer camp before when i worked as a gymnastics coach.
the gymnasts would come in the morning and stay for 4-6 hours. 
mostly we just had fun on all the gym equipment.
i thought this most recent summer camp would be pretty similar. 
what i didn't take into consideration was most of my gymnasts were girls and all of the hang time campers were boys....

the hang time summer camp was supposed to go from monday through friday.
on monday, the boys all showed up.
 andrew (7) ethan (9) oliver (9) calvin (12) brenden (12)
right off the bat, it was not a good camp day. 
my summer camp partner in crime, andrea, was running late that day. 
i was alone with 5 boys that were very unenthusiastic about the games i had planned.
even when andrea showed up, it didn't get easier.
we made it through that first day with lots of groans from the boys, and lots of nervous sideways glances between andrea and me.
it was not going as planned.
we decided to rope one of the safety coaches, patrick, into helping us out. 
maybe the campers would be more excited about a cool guy coming and jumping with them.

BINGO!

the rest of the camp was a blast! the boys loved their new toy (a.k.a. patrick) and he brought up a ton of ideas that helped us adjust our games and activities into something the boys would enjoy

in the end, it was a summer camp to remember! everything turned out perfectly and the boys want to come back for our next round of summer camp! 

un/fortunately i won't be around for it. my Mr. and i are vacationing that week in oregon and california! 
more news and pictures from that to come.

stadium of fire!

let me just say....wow!
last night's festivities were amazing!
mom and dad fryer were visiting, as well as my little sister, older sister and hubby, mom and dad reinsch, and the rest of the reinsch family!
being with all of them made it perfect. 
add family perfection, to the stadium of fire celebration, and you get amazing!
here are some pictures, but they really don't do justice for how wonderful the evening was!

even though you can't tell, i promise, the beach boys were on that stage!
sooooo cool, right!?!?

literally, the stadium of fire!




one of the most spectacular firework displays i've ever seen!






and since that doesn't do it justice, here's a video that might...


all in all, it was such a good evening!
now all the family has left and its just my mr. fryer and me again. we can't wait to go visit them all in a couple of weeks!

on a different note, utah has been up in flames for the past couple of weeks. fires have been starting everywhere and a lot of people have been evacuated from their homes.
attempts at fighting the fires have not gone unnoticed, but for those of us that haven't been able to fight the fire physically, we have had prayer.
 as i have been sitting here writing, it started raining outside....
so cool, answer to our prayers for the safety of our fellow utahns
