Sid leaving for Brazil...

Sid, Mike's Brother, has just left for a two year Brazil Mission. Even though we will miss him, we are very excited for him. Best Wishes Sid!

Mike, Rylie and Sid

Run, Jump and Play!

Rylie's new found excitement is RUNNING and JUMPING. But not together. She loves to get on my king size bed and treat it like a trampoline. "I jump" "I jump". Or run from one end of the house to the other saying "I run" "I run".

RUN!

C'mon dad jump. Mike is always a softy and will give into her every wish!

Showing off the Belly!

All by myself!

"Jumpin"

I was trying to get a video of her saying what animals say, but instead she just wanted to play!

Yesterday was Rylie's 18 month check up and she is growing like a weed! She is in the 80% for height and the 70% in weight. We also got to see my Mike's Brothers brand new baby yesterday, he is so little compared to Rylie! It is so crazy how fast they grow up.

24th of July...

The 24th of July is a Family Favorite. We spend one FULL week at Bear Lake with my Mom's side of the family. We have so much fun playing in the lake, in the sand, and hanging with family. Spending the 24th of July at Bear Lake became a tradition when my Grandma would take my mom and her sisters (5 girls) to the lake every summer. I looked forward to this vacation every year and I hope Rylie does too.

Rylie loved the beach, jumping in the lake, digging in the sand, and playing with cousins.

Mike's favorite thing at Bear Lake is the "Hold on for your life" tube ride from Uncle Wayne.

This is all of Rylie's cousins (or my cute nieces and nephews). Every time we try to do a cousin picture Rylie is crying. Oh well, we got them all in the picture. The swing will make her feel better!

Chillin in the SUNSHINE!

Who doesn't love corn on the cob for the 24th.

Happy 24th of July!

4th of July!

What a FUN filled Fourth of July. With firework shows, family BBQ's, Parade, Bear Lake and Sunshine this is One of my Favorite Holidays. I love this time of year, so pardon all the pictures.

Lewiston Parade and all dolled up.

Waiting for the parade to start!

Wow, sparklers!

If I could spend every weekend at Bear Lake, I would.

Boat Ride!

Best place for a nap, in the sun and on the boat!

Cute, Huh?

FUN IN THE SUN!

This is what summer is all about!

Gotta love the Belly!

Mini Vacation....

We decided to get out of town this past weekend and man was it fun. We went to Hogle Zoo and then spent the night in Park City. Rylie liked the animals at the Zoo, her favorite were the BEARS, PENGUINS and GIRAFFES. She absolutely loved the Hotel! She loved swimming in the pool, running up and down the hallways, and especially jumping on the bed (no one made her get down). And I absolutely loved the shopping! Mike absolutely just loved seeing his Girls so happy!

I had to snap this photo, this is how Rylie feel asleep in car!

Two CUTE Monkeys!

The Bear kept splashing in the water and Rylie thought it was Hilarious.

Daddy, bought me this Penquin and I was so excited I gave it kisses.

Yes, running up and down the hotel's hallway!

No more Monkeys jumping on the bed!
