Grandpa Stanley

Well some of you might know that my grandpa Stanley is pretty ill. He has actually been around longer than we thought. I have tried to visit him as much as possible. A couple weeks ago we went to visit him. Rylynn got to see him when he was having a good day. Kayley got to join Rylynn in a pretty picture with the three of them.

Sharing a website

Well I have a friend that has encouraged me to share website information with others. So I have been checking out dealofday.com If you go click on forums and then freebies. There is always free stuff. I have gotten diapers, wipes, food, cat food, coupons, toilet paper, laundry soap, etc. The main reason I am sharing this is because I have alot of pregnant friends and I know diapers and wipes will help everyone. I was just on there tonight and they have Natural Huggies diapers in the baby and toddler section under freebies, so go check them out! If you have questions let me know.

Pedicures

Well I was able to enjoy a girls' day with some college friends and had a really nice time. I have never had a pedicure and was able to enjoy one for the first time. We had a great time enjoying one another's company, shopping, and then eating. I think I might even have Ryan talked into one pedicure a month! Yeah!

Oh Baby!

Well we are half way there! Garrett Ryan will be joining our family sometime in August. We are thrilled, but are not ready yet. We still need to get his room ready. He will be staying in a room with a jungle theme. We are planning on repainting and recarpeting his bedroom before he arrives, but first we have to move all the furniture out and clean it up! (it's mommy's office and a spare bedroom) So if anyone wants to help let us know! In this picture I am 19 weeks!

Celebrating Valentine's Day

Well this year we celebrated Valentine's Day a little different. We headed to Michigan to see Ryan's family. Jeff, Sandy, Megan, and Gordan wanted some visitors that weekend. So we left on Friday afternoon and enjoyed pizza that evening. On Saturday we had a lovely breakfast and went to Ikea (I love that store!) afterwards we headed to the gym, which has a swim area for children and a lazy river, Rylynn enjoyed that. In the evening we made popcorn over the stove top- that was Gordan's favorite! Sunday we enjoyed church! And not to mention while we were there was had Sandy's cooking- she's the best!

Rylynn enjoyed playing the Wii with her daddy, playing with the dogs Millie and Dixie and climbing up and down the stairs. Oh and visiting the bookstore of course. We have read our new books over and over. Here are some pictures of us just relaxing.

Mommy and Rylynn

Loving Kindermusik

Rylynn is still enjoying Kindermusik very much. We go every Friday she has met many new friends, enjoys dancing, singing, playing musical instruments, and playing.

Rylynn Turns Two!

Ok so I am WAY Behind! But I have been SOOO busy. I still have some pictures I would love to share from Rylynn's birthday. We did a very simple birthday party this year, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and great-grandparents. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing everyone.

This was what we enjoyed eating with everyone

I made cupcakes. Rylynn wanted Elmo and I could not make an Elmo cake, so this is what she got!

Rylynn not so sure about people singing Happy Birthday to her!

Still not sure about the singing

This is OK!

Present Time!

WAY BEHIND!

So I have been taking a ton of pictures of our family and Rylynn, however I have been so busy. I have been very busy with grad school, work, and tastefully simple. We want to post picture of all of our activities and will plan to get some of them posted this week. But just to catch you up, we celebrated Rylynn's 2nd bday, we are still attending Kindermusik, Rylynn is loving to dance, sing, finger paint, play outside, we visited Michigan, and Ryan and I even went to Indianapolis this weekend. So we have been extremely busy. However I will try to post some pictures tomorrow starting with the begining of Feb, because that is where we have left off. Thanks for reading our blogs!
