Found a new purpose..a new love...and more!

Well we have been home from vacation for about a week now and I still haven't printed any pictures or downloaded any..I am terrible. But we have been extremely busy.
Rylynn took her first steps on July 18th while spending time with Jon and Mandy Mavrick, friends of ours from church. It was pretty cool, they were nice enough to vidoe tape it for us. Another friend of ours, Jenny got to see it as well. Rylynn will walk on occassion for us, but yesterday we visited the Mavrick's and she was a walking machine, I think she just likes them better!
This week the inlaws invited us over for supper, so that meant no cooking for me! YEAH! They had fresh blueberries. I figured Rylynn would make a mess, so I was a little hesitant at first, but she greatly enjoyed them. She kept reaching for them, so we had to put them out of site and say all gone. Well they shared a few for us to bring home and make she will eat them by the fist full. So I went shopping today. The prices are crazy! $4.99 for organic blueberries $3.99 for regular, and $4.87 at Krogers. $2.99 at Save a lot, Marsh was out, and then I hit the jackpot $1.99 at Aldi. So we bought a small amount, but while at Marsh they had fresh strawberries, so I think tonight I am going to have Rylynn help me make a strawberry pie, we will see how that works out! We might even share one with the daycare since I got to pie shells.
As for me....sometimes all I do is talk about Rylynn. Well I have been feeling that I am not discliplined enough with everything in my life. Therefore, I have started journaling, I am on the hunt for a new book, and I am going to try my best to reorganize somethings. I want to have more intentions with both my husband and Rylynn. I feel like I don't make enough time for them even though I love them to death, so please pray for me while I am on this task.
And with Ryan where do I even start? He got to reconnect with some high school friends last weekend and really enjoyed himself at the class reunion. We had a couple nights away. Which Rylynn was attached to my hip all weekend when we were with her, so it was nice to get some time away, but when we were away, all I could think about was what she was doing. He is also working pretty hard. He has made 2 sales!!!! Yeah!!! He is almost done with church league softball and hopefully will be starting our small group here soon. So we are excited for everything going on in his life.
Well hopefully we will post some pictures here soon.

Check out Rylynn's pictures

So we had a great time in Tennesse and while we were there we had some pictures taken very quickly right before we were leaving. Rylynn wasn't feeling well and we were rushed...but some of the pictures turned out really cute. We are going to order a few, so check them out if you wish.

Happy Fourth!

Well we celebrated the Fourth of July with some friends from church. We had a nice cookout, some yummy food, and some excititng fireworks that we did ourself. Rylynn had an outfit just for the occassion, mama Jackson wants to make sure she is in style...thanks mama for the outfit!

Morning Child

Well Rylynn might be a spitting image of her father, however she does have one thing in common with her mommy! She LOVES to sleep in. Lately we have been waking her up for daycare and on the weekends she will sleep in until 9am easy. She looks so silly once she gets up so I got a snapshot!

Hunter's Birthday party

Well we went home for Hunter's birthday and Ryan and Rylynn enjoyed the pool with Hunter and his friends. The boys seemed to have a good time and enjoyed Rylynn being in the pool with them!

Family reunion

Well on June 21st we had the Sipe family reunion. We had good food, visited and played wiffleball. Rylynn seemed to enjoy herself, so again...we must show you some fun pictures!

Pool pictures

I am WAY BEHIND!

Well I am behind. We have been busy. A couple weekends ago we had a Sipe family reunion, I will try to post some pics tomorrow. Then this weekend we went to see my family. It was nice to get home, we don't get to Rossville enough as we should. We spent the day at my parent's pool and spent some time with Hunter and Mirissa as well. I did get some pictures of the kids in the pool, so I will have to post what I did get. Rylynn did get 2 more teeth! I guess that is why we have had extra slobber these last couple days.

We are getting ready for a garage sale this weekend after we are off on Friday and then next week we leave for Tennessee, so we are trying to plan where we are going to visit. I am still working on my online course so I have everything I need for Grad school. Ryan is still working hard with his job and is enjoying it very well.

Well hopefully you will see some pics on the next couple posts.

Busy family

Well we are extremely busy. We have some cute pictures of Rylynn we need to download and I will try to get on that this weekend. At the current time Ryan's job is well under way, and I am glad. At this point I am ready to be a stay at home mom. Maybe someday.
I am working full time, going to school, and trying to balanace church and family life in that and after this grad school is not looking very fun and maybe I will change my mind and not even go, who knows. Or maybe God will bless me and I can just stay at home with Rylynn and sell Tastefully Simple ~ tonight that is looking really good.

We will attach pics ASAP
