Talking to Eric Christmas Day!

My brother, Eric, is serving a mission in Salvador, Brazil right now. His year mark is in January! Hard to believe it has already been a year since he left!

We all got to talk to him while we were in California. It was fun to hear his voice. He is just as excited and enthusiastic about EVERYTHING as ever.


Krista Talking to him through the microphone. Ryan and Brandon listening.

Kylie...holding Kamryn's toy...but listening to the conversation just the same! :)

On Mother's Day, we could barely hear him as we talked to him. We had to strain through the mumbling! So, Dad decided to try to call through Skype this time. It worked MUCH better! We could hear him perfectly through the speakers and he could hear us for the most part. The Microphone we had was a little "iffy" at times, so Dad may look into getting a better one for this upcoming May.
Eric got a little emotional at times, when hearing how much older Austin and Ryan sound, and when he found out that Kelsey wasn't here to talk to him once again. (She had to work on Mother's Day and then she was spending Christmas with Zac's family this year). However, we figured out a way for him to talk to her! He was so excited! We called Kelsey on Ryan's work phone, and turned on the speaker phone. We held the microphone to that phone for her to talk, and then she heard him through the speaker! It was very cool.

Then, because that worked, we thought maybe we could get Grandma and Papa Moe on the phone in the same way. Here's a shot of the set up! :)

I had to capture the moment ... it is amazing how much technology we have at our disposal to communicate with people anywhere in the world!


Ryan, by the end of the conversation! :) (If you turn this photo upward, he kinda resembles Edward from Twilight... WEIRD!)! :)


Kamryn, enjoying her newfound "hut" under the high chair! (not sure what she is doing with her binkie...but whatever!)

It was a very fun hour! :)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all our Friends and Family!

This is our Christmas Card we sent out this year!
I thought I'd post it electronically as well! :)
(Since I didn't get to send it to all my friends! However, if you are family and haven't gotten it yet...it SHOULD be coming!) :)

(I had a lot of fun designing it myself this year!)

Hope you all have a Merry Merry Christmas and Happy 2010!

Love, Ryan, Katrina, Kamryn and Baby Boy

Who knew the Disney Store could be so fun!!

So, Ryan and I took Kamryn with us to Anaheim today to visit Downtown Disney. I was feeling a little blue because I have never been around the Disneyland parks without actually going in!! (However, when we pulled up to Downtown Disney (the shopping center outside of the parks) I saw all the people going INTO the parks and I was happy to not deal with all those crowds!) :)

However, our adventure inside the Disney Store with Kamryn was worth every little bit! (I'm only sorry I don't have pictures of her!)

Seamons Christmas

Merry Christmas (Early)!

Because Ryan, Kamryn and I will be spending Christmas in Cali with my family this year, we decided to do a Christmas celebration with Ryan's family after we get back. However...there were a couple things his mom had for us that she wanted to send with us on our vacation.

Kamryn got some cute Christmas Jammies. We immediately put them on her and she was SO cute! :) Gotta love Grammas spoiling grandkids! :)





Ryan's parents gave Ryan and I an Ipod touch to share! We love it! We're so excited about it! (It's kinda been running our lives for the past week!) :) haha



For Ryan's Bday/Christmas, I decided to surprise Ryan and take him to see the lights on Temple Square and then I made reservations for dinner at The Roof. It is an elegant (expensive) YUMMY restaurant in SLC. We went there a few times for special occassions in high school, but the last time we were there was almost 3 years ago (in March) when he proposed to me! It was a wonderful night... except that I forgot my camera!!! :( (boo hoo! You understand, all you prominent bloggers!!) :) Anyway, we had Kelsey and Zac take a picture of us by our own tree when we got home!


I love you Ryan!
(can you believe how pregnant I look in this picture?!?! yikes!)

Yay for babies!

So, my best friend in high school is expecting her second child (another girl!) at the beginning of January. BUT she texted me this morning and said that her water broke and the baby is coming! :) (She has been an at-risk pregnancy and has been on bedrest for the last couple weeks, so it was pretty much expected for her to come early!) I'm so excited! I am SO SO baby hungry...I think I'll die before April can come!

Also, my cousin and his wife are expecting twins (a boy and a girl) (also in January) but she has also been seeing a specialist and he has scheduled a C-section with her for tomorrow. Hopefully the babies' lungs will be ready for the doctor to take them. My cousin(in-law) is SO miserable! I would be too if I was 8 months pregnant with twins! (FIRST pregnancy!! Yikes!) :)

Yay for Babies!! :) (If I get permission from both families, I'll post pictures when they are here!)
