Rylie

It is too nice to not be outside right now!
And of course bring the camera along.
I am not sure what we are going to do when it
SNOWS and we can't be outside all day long!

Fridays off!

I am lucky enough to not have to work Fridays. Friday is the day that Rylie and I do whatever we want, really whatever we want. I don't clean, do laundry, or any chores until our house is out of control. It is OUR day to play! . We have gone to the park, rode the bus, shopped, parks again, playing, running errands, lunch out with friends, more going to the park, swinging, more shopping (of course this is her idea) fun projects, friends over, and so much more.

Last Friday Rylie wanted leftover Pizza and Breadsticks for Breakfast!
This is the LIFE!

Tony Grove!

Last week Mike had a "use it or loose it" vacation day so I decided to take the day off too. We ended up in Logan Canyon and at Tony Grove. The leaves and the weather were awesome.

Scrapbook Weekend!

Don't be jealous, but last weekend my sisters, one cousin and I went to Bear Lake and scrapbooked. We leave the little ones home with Dads and off we go. We have been doing this twice a year for EIGHT years. We bring too many snacks, tons of diet coke and stay up WAY late! We end up in tears several times during the weekend, from laughing so hard. What a fun tradition, fun time with family, fun memories and priceless time together. I can't wait until next time.

My new Bike!

Check out my new bike! Rylie was so excited to get a new bike that it had to ride in the back seat on the way home. She hasn't quite figured out how to keep the pedals going, but is having fun playing with all the features.



Of course it is pink and purple, her favorite!

Story Time ....

Rylie is so funny with her "animals and babies" right now. She has to have them all sleep with her, ride in the car with her, and where ever she goes, they go! Mike takes Rylie to the babysitter in the mornings, but before they go she will say, I need my green blanket, and my pink blanket, and my baby and my green care bear(for the moment). She always has list of what she wants and is into organizing them all. HMmmm wonder where she got that.

I caught Mike reading bedtime stories to Rylie on video. You can tell at the end that I got busted and Mike was not to excited about being recorded. So don't tell him I blogged about it. I just think it is so cute of him and he is always so cute with Rylie. What an awesome Dad, we love you! and hopefully he still loves me after you see these clips.

Story time with Daddy!

Jackson Hole...

I love Jackson Hole, Mike and I try to go there at least once a year. This year was WAY fun with Rylie. We enjoyed shopping, an arts festival, a way long Hike, more shopping, and just hanging out as a family. The weather was beautiful up there! We even enjoyed drinking hot chocolate from our cabin and watching it rain. This was the perfect way to end the SUMMMER! I am so ready for Fall after seeing a skiff of snow in Star Valley and the mountains starting to turn gold.

"the Cabin"


Rylie got a new Jackson Hole Moose,
that hasn't left her side since we purchased it.


Playing in the rain...
