Family pics at wedding!

Gotta love our beautiful baby girl's cheesy smile!

What's up with us!

Well Ryan had training in Ft Wayne all last week. He says that things went well and he enjoyed and learned several new things that he hopes to carry through out his career. It was an extrememly long week without him, which he has not caught on yet that it is difficult to have a child with just one parent and work full time, but he will soon find out!

Rylynn is doing great. She got to meet her cousin, Kai, this weekend. She really didn't have much to do with him, however she did get to see him. She also got to spend some time outside with me this afternoon. While I was planting flowers she decided that she would eat some dirt! YUMMY, she must have liked it somewhat because she went in for seconds.

I am still working full time, selling tastefully simple on the side, and I will be starting a summer course in June. We will see how all of this goes. I need to get online and get things ready to go for my summer course, so pray that our family can have good time management! That is really all that is happening for our family. I will post some pics of Rylynn outside as soon as I can.

If you are the praying type and would like to keep us in your prayers, here are somethings you could include:
- my uncle Craig will be having surgery on Tuesday at 11am. He will have his brain tumor removed
- our friend will be going down to St Vincent for some testing on her son, and her unborn child this week
- we are so excited to have Kai home and hope that he continues to get better
- and like I said we will need lots of help with time management in this home!

Some things Rylynn loves

Well we have been blessed with such a happy baby. But there are some things which she loves that I have captured on camera. Those include; taking walks and eating oranges! So therefore I would love to share some fun pictures with you.

What's up with the Sipes?

Well so much has happened. Ryan has passed his first test, and is studying for his second that will be taken the first full week of May. I (Miranda) have been told that I have to go back to school, so I am looking into graduate programs. I have a time set up to see Huntington College. So we will see how that goes. Rylynn is growing more and more everyday. We believe she is saying "ball." She is also shaking her head to yes and no and says, "yeah!" She still has her piggy tails that she wears on occassion.

She is loving to be out doors. We try to take her on as many walks as possible. She is still in daycare and enjoys seeing all of her friends there.

Ryan took me out last weekend for my birthday, so Rylynn spent the night with Grandma and Grandpa Jackson. She got to spend some time with her aunts and uncles and cousins. We are pretty sure that she had a good time. Ryan and I went to Indianapolis and stay the night. We went shopping at Castleton, and had supper at the Melting Pot. My wonderful husband had roses waiting on me on our table. We then went back and enjoyed a nice relaxing night at the hotel and then went to get Rylynn the next night.

We have some new fun pictures of Rylynn that we will include soon.

Easter

Well the Sipe family was very busy at Easter time. The week before Easter, Ryan and I worked everyday and then went to play practice every night! Ryan was John and I was Mary Magedine (I can't spell work a crap...sorry) Anyway, Rylynn did very well, we did have to get a babysitter the dress rehearsal night, but she was great. We had two preformances on Saturday. During the first one she stayed with Jess, Greg's girlfriend, and the second one she was in! She was part of the multitude and I must say the cutest one! We have pictures of the whole family.

Rylynn loves to eat blocks!

Well as you know I am SO FAR behind on updating this. The Sipe family has been very busy. So I am going to try to go through the last month and share what has happened in our life. Rylynn and I got to spend a day home by ourself. I forget where Ryan was, but we really enjoyed playing together and just hanging out. I took the opportunity to take lots of silly pictures of her, and I have to laugh at these, because she is trying to shove the whole wooden block in her mouth! It is crazy. I thought you might enjoy it. I will post a new blog as soon as I get a chance, and like I said try to stay on top of this a little better.

I got a NEW toy!

Well my friend Holly was nice enough to give us a toy that I knew Rylynn would love. She was too funny on it tonight, she has new grin that she loves to share and I have been bad about posting the pictures on here, so I am trying to play catch up. But here is Rylynn with her famous grin on her new Zebra!

Good Buds

Well Rylynn has gotten to know some people very well. She has one friend that she is in daycare with, sees on Wednesday when we are at small group, and sees on Sundays at church so they are good buds. I think she liking finally being bigger than someone. Grayson and her are so cute together.

First Haircut!

Well Ryan and I thought that Rylynn's hair was getting a little crazy. So we went to see Aunt Tina and the whole event took took 5 minutes. Rylynn did very well, but we did have to bribe her a little with Cheerios, but for the most part she sat very still. Aunt Tina evened up the sides and Rylynn is as cute a ever! Of course I took as many pictures as I could in 5 minutes! And here are a few.
