Camp Horizon

This past weekend I volunteered for a Down Syndrome camp. This is the 3rd year that I have been able to do so. My roommates from college also volunteer for it so it makes it fun to be able to see them also. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

Too long

Sorry that it has been so long in between postings. Things have just been crazy busy lately. I worked several days in a row then volunteered for my down syndrome camp then Dave's been sick...it's just been one thing after another. So after much waiting..here are some pictures of what Rylee has been doing recently. Mostly taken by my mom since she has been the one with her the most recently.



Finally mastering putting these together and taking them apart






with her "shone" or phone in adult language


eating some cheerios


in her cool new shirt from Aunt Jessica and Uncle Adam




and pushing her vacuum...mom said she went and put the hat and necklace on all by herself

Meeting Graylan, playing at the mall and more

Today was a fun day. First we got up and did some early morning shopping. This included going to the mall. We thought we would try out the play area there. Rylee loved it! Then we went and had lunch with my friend Jennifer and her 3 month old Graylan. Here are some pictures of the day.


The play area at the mall


of course all of these take lots of money...and she was only on there for a second before wanting off...so we just played on them while they were still




This one was her favorite since it had so many buttons to press




Graylan and Rylee


I got a free panty from Victoria Secret and gave Rylee the bag to play with on the way home and this is how I found my panty...she thinks they are necklaces


My mom gave here these for her birthday but she is just now starting to play with them in the bathtub...they wash right off so she loves them now!

Big Helper

Rylee is such a big helper these days. She loves to help me clean the house. Her favorite thing to go and get it the "boom" or broom so she can "seep" or sweep. Here she is sweeping our front porch and sidewalk.

It's Official!

It's official! Rylee is going to be a big sister in March! Maybe even on her birthday...since that is when my due date is. We're all very excited!

Braves game

This past weekend we had the chance to go and watch a Braves game in Atlanta. My sister and her husband went with us and we just had a blast! Dave even caught a foul ball! It was so much fun. Here are some pictures...

They played the Dodgers so here is Manny Rodriguez at bat

We also visited the Coca Cola museum


I'm not really sure what you would call these guys...lips?


The polar bear...he was leaving for break when we wanted to go get our picture with him


Before the 4-D movie

Pigtails

Rylee's hair is finally starting to get long enough to pull back. Today was the first day that I've actually really fixed it. She was less than thrilled to take the pictures...but what do you think about the hair do?


I caught her and Dave off guard


Then one with me
