Sick Baby

It's the peak season for RSV for infants and children this time of year... Our poor little Rylin has it, in these pictures Ryun is giving her the breathing treatment she has to have in order to breathe a lot better. Our luck she hasn't had to be hospitalized yet!















She hated the little purple dinosaur mask they
gave us to use, but she loves this blue hose looking thing.
















She tries to eat it sometimes because she likes it,
that really makes it easy for us because we hate
to hear her scream, and we hate to force it on her-
but it will help.















Ryun and Rylin just after a treatment watching
a disney movie! Rylin is looking and doing a lot
better now.

Ryun's 23rd Birthday Party

HAPPY 23RD BIRTHDAY RYUN!!!

This party was just a friends party for Ryun. We had dinner with Ryun's parents to celebrate Ryun's birthday earlier in the week and we also had a party with the Choffin family to celebrate his birthday. This party took place on the Friday night January 25th, his real birthday was on Tuesday January the 22nd.





Ryun arrived to his surprise birthday party at 7 pm and Lindsay made him wear this ridiculous Birthday Prince hat.















Lindsay and Katey decorated the living room and kitchen for Ryun's surprise party, this is Ryun again in that hat that Lindsay made him wear.












Ryun and Lindsay, just a quick picture together- Rylin was sleeping in her crib.















Walter and his wife are Ryun and Lindsay's married friends, they are fun to be around .














Corey and Katey were enjoying themselves to some soda and snacks. They drove all the way from Pocatello to be here for this party.










Everyone is chillin' and hanging out! It was a fun night! From left to right in the photo; Walter's wife, alex (in the back), AJ (in the back), Jeff (in the front) Kristi
















CAKE TIME!!! Lindsay forgot to buy candles, so Ryun used matches on top of his cake. He is trying to light it up!!!


















After we all sang happy birthday to Ryun, he blew out the "matches" they went up in flames so fast, that is was alex and jeff are laughing at in the background.

















Slowly taking the matches off of the cake... hope Ryun made his special wish! happy birthday!!!

Rexburg Temple 2008

On January 17th, 2008 the Choffin family had the opportunity to attend the Rexburg Temple open house tour. This was an experience of a life time. Since the recent passing of our beloved prophet Gordon B. Hinckley, this Temple has become more meaningful to our family. Momma Choffin somehow worked her magic and was able to have one of the workers give the entire family a tour of the Bride's room in this amazing building- what an experience, this temple is unlike anything I have ever seen, from the chandeliers to the wood work and the paintings. Enjoy these simple photographs of the outside of the building.

The Rexburg Temple from the south east view,
how gorgeous and majestic!!!






















Here is the front view of the Temple,
this is the entrance of the temple.
















Even in the blistering of Rexburg Idaho the temple
really does stand out like a beacon of light to the
city of Rexburg- especially since it is on hill standing
taller than any other building in the city.






















The beloved angel Moroni standing
triumphantly on top of the spire . Ryun
and I can still remember the moments
we stood out in the rain on the day that
the angel Moroni was first placed on top
of the Temple spire.

So white, so pure, so amazing!!!

Christmas at the Choffin Home 2007

Kimber is holding Rylin while mom and dad open a
few of their presents.




















Ryun got a pink tie and a history present (because he
wants to be a history teacher) from Talea















Here is some of the craziness that comes along with
being at the Choffin house.




















Rylin got a gorgeous christmas dress from
Chase, with matching bows to go on her very
bald but cute head.

(from left to right) Kimber, Corey (opening a present),

Kyle and Jacob.

Ryun starting to open another present! what a

hot man!!! look at that expression on his face

Cousin Chase is helping Rylin open one of her presents!

chase and rylin love playing and watching each other, rylin

thinks chase and kelton are two of the funniest little boys

around.

Lindsay had Talea for Christmas, and this is what

she gave her, two old navy shirts. Talea is miss

fashion and is very girly! here comes the first

cheerleader from the choffin family!!! well... then our

dad will step in! lol

Jacob is one of the hardest to buy for, well ryun

picked his name this year. The only thing that

ryun could think of to get him was a hat or steaks!

ryun chose the steaks and Jacob loved them! Ryun

wrapped them in foil instead of wrapping paper, ryun

is a clever guy.

Rylin in her car seat. While all the havoc was going on

in the choffin house, she was happy and just looking around.

Rylin got a car seat cover from Santa Clause this year!

she tries to kick it off of her whenever we try to put it on

her.

Rylin would kinda open her own presents. Ryun or I

would have her grab the corner or something and then

we would pull it away from her, that way her would

open them

Chase is opening a present from Rylin now, she got him

these very cool guns that are for his size. He loved them,

although most the other kids played with them first, chase

finally got his turn.

Beau and Bryce got some find it books and they loved them.

even chase a kelton wanted them it was funny.

Christmas at the Payne Home 2007

Pam, Ryun and Rylin all sitting around the christmas
tree beginning the opening present ritual. Rylin's first
present, if you notice her expression is hmmm... gimme
gimme I want that.





















Daddy and Rylin opening the present
Rylin is very excited about the whole
idea.




















Look what was inside! Rylin really didn't
care about that. Her expression is hmm...
alright where did the paper go?





















She got three to four outfits that were pink and
wrapped in the same paper, she was fascinated
with each and every present, well at least with
the cool designed paper.























Daddy and Rylin opening a present
for Ryun, she even loved watching
him do that.

Rylin's first ever present opening and who else
would it be with other than her favorite Daddy! It is
a tradition to open one present on christmas eve, we were
at the the payne grandparents house and had a blast.
















Mommy's turn to open a present on christmas eve




















Still having fun opening her present!






















This is our star on our first tree in Rexburg






















This is our "real" tree, yep, it is not fake

Snow in Rexburg!!

A women in our ward got stuck in our driveway
because there was at least 1 foot and a 1/2 of snow.
















Ryun and a few neighbors were trying to push her
out of the ditch, while I was taking pictures of them
and Rylin was sleeping in the car.
















Success after 15 minutes of hard pushing!!! Great Job!





















These are our favorite neighbors,
the Newman mom and her son in law

Rylin's First Time Eating Rice Cereal

This is her first time eating rice cereal and
she loves the whole idea of a spoon going in
her mouth
















She loves it so much that she would start to
wimper every time we took the spoon out of
her mouth















She started to grab the spoon because she was
so interested in it
















Daddy was laughing because of the faces she
was giving him
















On the last picture she noticed mommy have
something in her hand, and daddy did such a
good job of feeding her.
