Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving Day we went to my parents house for dinner and then on Saturday we went to my grandmother's for lunch. Here are some of the pictures from both.

What a fun time!

It's a....

Girl!!! And we couldn't be more thrilled! (Well that is after Dave got over the initial disappointment that it wasn't a boy.) Everything looked great too. Here's a picture of the baby's face. I know it's kinda hard to see...but our scanner is broke so we had to take a picture of the ultrasound photo.


Just to give some direction...the forehead is on the right and the face looking towards the left

The weekend

We had a fun and relaxing weekend at home this weekend. We really didn't do anything so I just have some pictures of us playing around the house.



Wearing Daddy's shoes around the house


Then a finger painting project with pudding I thought we'd give a try. Rylee is probably the only kid who says "han diry" aka hand dirty when there is anything on them. Needless to say it wasn't quite as successful as I had hoped.




She mostly just wanted to eat the pudding




Then a few pictures of her and Daddy reading in her room. She walked in my shoes to her room then drug out all of her books to read.

Happy Birthday Aunt Jessie

My favorite sister..and one of Rylee's favorite aunts' birthday is tomorrow. Today my mom got Rylee to wish her a happy birthday. Here are the videos...








Happy Birthday!!

The weekend

It is so nice to have the weekends off now. I really love my new job and I think it has been really great for my family so far! Here are mostly just some random pictures that we took this last weekend when we were all home.


this is how her daddy fixed her hair on Saturday


apparently he thought she needed like 5 bows...


then this was how I found her on Sunday after church...reading a magazine on the potty

Then lastly some 24 week pictures of me and Baby Bennett (since he or she doesn't want to be known yet)

Riding the horse

I think Rylee may have a future in horse back riding....





Thanks to my friend Julie for the almost life size pony...

Counting

Rylee can almost count to 10 on her own. Sometimes she'll skip 4 and sometimes 7 but can get most of the rest of the numbers. Here I caught her while she was playing and got her to count.

Happy Halloween!

This year for Halloween we wanted Rylee to be a ladybug. I must admit...she was the cutest ladybug out there! We went to a couple of houses by my parent's and then a couple in our neighborhood. Here are the pictures...
