the lake...

We went to Bear Lake over the weekend. Rylee loved to play in the sand and get DIRTY!! We had a blast out at the lake!

sweet little SUGAR!!!

Well today Sarah and I found Miss Rylee Kate in the pantry with the huge tub of licorice. Licorice is one of Rylee's favorite treats! I wouldn't mind so much if Rylee could figure out how to just eat the licorice and not cover the entire kitchen with RED little Rylee hand prints! After the licorice, Rylee was thirsty. Water is just no good with sweets so of course Rylee goes right over and helps herself to my diet coke. Whats mine is Rylee's! The cup is big for such a little girl! How could you get mad with a smile like that!!!

Nana's house!

Rylee had a great time at Nanas house! Im not sure if its because of all the "new" toys, or because Nana lets her so WHATEVER she wants! I want Rylee dry, Nana pulls out the hose. I want rylee clean, Nana pulls out the shovel and leads her to the dirt. I want Rylee to go to sleep, Nana comes into the room to "rescue her"! When I say whatever, I mean it! It was so fun to see her show off all her tricks to a whole new bunch of people. She would do a trick then clap for herself. If she could pat herself on the back believe me she would! Thanks mom for the fun vacation! We had a blast!!

Finally!

Hello everyone! Rylee and I decided to finally jump on the bandwagon! I know it's taken forever! If I would have known how easy it was I would have done it a long time ago... Rylee is getting so big! She is a little fish at the pool! She is finally starting to "talk" a little. Her favorite new words are dada (grandpa) and IYA (sarah). She stands at the botton of the stairs and YELLS, IYA IYA until she gets a "Hi Rylee" reply. It is too funny. In all my great efforts the word MAMA is a huge joke to her. She will not say it! I say MAMA and she says back DADA with a huge grin on her face. It's now turned into a game. She also barks, roars, moos (thanks to uncle paul who has a great moo himself), and quacks like a duck. She thinks she is the worlds cutest girl... Which if I do say so myself she is! Well, we hope you are all doing great! Miss you!!!
