Memorial Day Weekend

We had a FABULOUS Memorial Day weekend! The weather was amazing, and we spent the whole weekend with just our little family of 3!

FRIDAY

We kicked off our weekend by eating some ice-cream... but what else is new? My step mom called and told us she had a hotel room in Orem that wasnt being used. I thought it sounded fun, but I had to work and I just didnt think it would work out. Well.....

Chasey called me at work and said we were going. He had everything packed and ready to go. I know it was just in Orem, but it was a fun little break from the everyday stuff. I got home and we headed over!

The first thing Ry found was the drawers! Those kept her entertained all night!

K, so we the bed was beyond comfortable!! It was pretty big too, so we all 3 just relaxed on the bed. Rylee loved it... she would lay down and close her eyes and then smile! This picture is so funny. She just wanted to lay on this pillow.

Of course we went swimming. I dont know what she thought was more fun the big long hallway or the pool?

Thanks Dad and Karen we had a great time!

Saturday I worked... boring!

SUNDAY

We went to Grandma Greats house to see Aunt Julie and Uncle Tracy. They love Rylee, and give her all the attention. She totally eats it up! I tried to rotate this picture, but it didnt work out. Julie kept giving Ry carrots. The only problem is that she doesnt have teeth to chew them. I would take it from her and she would friek!

Grandma Great won her over with Trix!

We spent the rest of the day at my moms at Grandma Darlings. It was a good Sunday!





MONDAY

I worked in the morning, and then we used our season passes and went to Seven Peaks. I figured Rylee would like it, but I underestimated how much. She was so happy to be there. It was so much fin watching her play in the water, go down the slides, and enjoy being in the sun! Good thing she liked it cause we will be going all summer!

She was so interested in watching all the kids that we never did get a good picture of her.

Chase took her down the BIG slide! Ya, she loved it!

Taking a swim break for some lemonade and grilled cheese.

The wave pool was her favorite.

Ready to go home.

I took off her swim shoes, and her little feet were all pruney!

No nap and 4 hours at a water park... she was out 2 seconds after we got in the car!

It was so nice to spend the weekend with just our family! Life gets busy, and family stuff gets busy, so taking the time for just us is great! We decided we need to do it more often!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Thank you to all those who have and do fight for our freedom, so we can enjoy all we have!

Intervention

Sometimes when I'm up late at night I watch the show Intervention. The whole show is someone has a problem that is affecting their lives,and their family and friends set up an intervention to try and help them. The people with the problem know they have a problem, but they dont want help. They have dealt with their problem for years, and just dont want to give it up. I have come to the realization that I need an intervention. I can not stop taking pictures of Rylee. I have always been picture happy, but having a baby increased the problem by a 100%. I think I take 20-30 pictures a day of her. I have tried leaving my camera at home to avoid taking pictures, but then I always kick myself for not bringing it! I end up erasing half them, but at least I have them! Maybe my problem will die down later in lfe, but for now my name is Lyndsay and I have a problem with taking pictures!

These are just random pictures and stuff we have done over the past few weeks.

Enjoy!

Really, could she honestly be any cuter? I know Im her mom, but she has to be the cutest thing EVER! I bought her squeaky shoes, not knowing they were squeaky shows! I personally hate them. I think they are so annoying. ( squeaky shoes squeak every time the child walks.) Well, Miss Rylee thinks its so funny. She will take a step, hear the squeak, and laugh. Its pretty entertaining! You can kind of see the shoes in this picture.

We were outside blowing bubbles, when the garbage truck came. The way she was enthralled with it, you would have thought it was Santa with his sled! She watched it in awe until she couldnt see it anymore.
Who needs food when you have a stick?

We love ice-cream cones at our house.

This might be one of the worst pictures of me ever taken, but doesnt Rylee look the cutest?!

My baby is getting too big!!

Right in the middle of " if your happy and you know it clap your hands !"

I love these cheeks!

After family pictures we took Ry to the park. She loves being outside, and she loves all the toys and ducks and the park.

Some lady came over, and told we needed a family picture. She grabbed my camera and snapped this. Kind of a cheesy picture, but its cute.

I think this picture is so funny. They are watching Ben play his DS.

*Me and my girl*

The class I worked in last year is still full of my FAVORITE ladies! We visit our Westside friends as much as we can. This is Cinni... I love her. All the kids love when Rylee comes, and she loves all the attention!

I babysat a friends kids a couple weeks ago. The little boy was 2, and the baby was 5 months. Rylee wasnt too sure about the baby, but followed the older one around all day! When they came the 2 girls were dressed in the same onsie.

My little book worm

It got quiet the other day, almost too quiet! I expected to go into Rylee's room and find a huge mess. Instead I found her looking at a book. She had it propped up like this too. She would read books all day if she could. We spend a good portion of the day, and right before bed reading.

Just another ice-cream picture. Ry doesnt like the feel of grass, so we always have to put something under her.

Crazy Molly! Molly likes to sleep in Ry's bed, and Ry likes her in there. I dont!!! I have to change the bedding everytime she gets in cause she sheds so bad. I dont actually let her sleep in there with Rylee.

It looks like all I do is give her candy! I really feed her healthy, I promise! She does love licorice though!

She wont wear her hats, but she loves wearing daddys!

Playing outside

Grandpa stopped by

We walked over to see the horses, but these were more fun....

Walking home with dad

I think its so cute when she stands up by herself. She looks so big!
