Ladies & Gentlemen, We have a roller...

Rylee finally rolled on Friday! She has been so close for the past week, but would just give up after about a minute. She would get so frustrated that she would lay her head down and do a high pitch squeal. I would feel so bad for her that I would hurry and pick her up.

We were laying in bed on Friday morning and I put her on her tummy. She looked at me, smiled, the rolled. Just to make sure it was for real I put her on the floor to see if she would do the same thing. Sure enough... she rolled! I never knew why moms got so excited when there kids did things like that. I always thought, Wow your baby rolled- whoopie!! Rylee rolled and I was the PROUDEST mom in the world! I called my mom and grandma and Chasey. I couldn't wait to tell everyone. Things change when they are your own!!!

I think she is so cute when she lays on her tummy. This was right before she rolled for the 2nd time

New Things about Ry

I just wanted to write down some things about Rylee so I won't forget them.

She is growing so much everyday. I can't believe how big she has gotten, and how she is looking like a little person- not a little baby! I have so much fun with her, and can't imagine not having her with me everyday. I was planning on going back to work this year, and now am so glad that I didn't. It would have been so hard to leave her every other day. I am so thankful that Chasey works so hard to support us, so I can stay home and be a mom!

I'm pretty sure I have already mentioned a few of these, but oh well!

*Rylee LOVES LOVES LOVES her fingers. She won't take a binki very much anymore.She just wants her fingers.

*Latley she will eat her bottle and then stick her fingers so far down her throat she throws up. Great eating disorders already!!! What am I going to do when she is 16?

*She discovered her toes! I went in to get her out of her bed and she had her toes in her mouth. It was so stinkin' cute.

*She grabs at toys, and will hold on to the ones tha hang from her play mat.

* She is ALMOST rolling over. She will go from her back to her side and then roll back. When she is on her stomach she just about gets to the point of rolling over and then gives up and starts crying! I am just waiting for the day.

* She sleeps from about 9- 7 every night all the way through! Me and Chasey LOVE that!

* This isn't good, but she loves to stare at the TV. Chasey and her will watch baseball on the weekends, and she is just glued to the screen.

* I had to clean out her drawers and get rid of all the 0-3 months clothes. She is now in a 3 month, and sometimes a 3-6 month! Clothes that I thought would never fit her, are the perfect size now!

* Rylee still loves to be outdoors, and be around people! She is the happiest baby. She rarely cries, and when she does she usually stops as soon as you talk to her. She is starting to recognize her name, and turns when I say heeey Ry!

I love her so much!!!

Payson Lakes... Again!

Saturday we took full of advantage of the BEAUTIFUL weather, and ventured up the canyon. We ended at Payson Lakes- one of our favorite Spots! Mat & Katie, John & Summer, and Dad & Karen came too. It was a ton of fun having everyone there. There were alot of people at the lake when we first got there, so we just got a campsite. It worked out really good. There was plenty of space for the kids to play and get dirty! We did a little BBQ, and just visited with the fam. Later we went to the lake and took the kayaks out. While Summer and I were out on the lake we saw a bird swoop down and pull a fish out of the water. It sounds dumb, but we both thought it was pretty cool! We ended the night with smores and marshmellow chocolate bananas. The mosquitoes got bad, so we packed up and left earlier then we wanted to. It was a really fun night! Thanks everyone for coming!!

MMMMM.... I love to BBQ

We put the two babies in the play pen while we ate. They seemed pretty happy.

The kids had a blast. They play so good together. They were all covered in dirt by the end of the night.

I LOVE these pictures of Sayla and Rylee.

Grandma and Rylee

Chasey and I were talking the other night, and we were saying how different having a baby is. We used to go out every friday and saturday night. Go to movies or dinner whenever we wanted, travel, stay out past nine! With our little bug things are different, but we couldn't be happier! We love to hang out with her and play with her toys. Sometimes we enjoy the toys more then she does. She loves music, so Chase dances with her. She thinks its the funnest thing- she laughs the whole time! She has definately made us more grown up, and not be selfish! We love our little Rylee Bug so much, and are so thanksful she is ours!

Here are a few pictures of the past couple weeks!!!

Chase and Rylee at his softball game

Playing with her new toy! She thinks its so funny when the flower plays music! Every morning we get up eat and then spend an hour or so just playing with this. To be honest I'm getting sick of it, but she still enjoys it.
A typical Friday night for us now... playing with Ry!

Napping House...

I got out of the shower on Sunday and found everyone in the house like this....

As bad as it might sound, it was so nice to be in a quiet house!

Rylee's blessing

We blest Rylee on August 16. We waited so Chasey's family could be there for it. It was such a nice day. My mom made Rylee's blessing dress out of my wedding dress. I figured I would never wear it again, so I might as well do something with it. It turned out really pretty! Great Grandma Darling made her some booties, and Great Grandma Jones made her a beautiful blanket. She looked perfect in it all! Chasey did a wonderful job on the blessing. He is a great husband and dad. Ry and I are so lucky to have him. After we went to John and Summers to eat. Our house isn't big enough for everyone, so we were so thankful that Summer let us use hers. We had all of our close friends and family there- except Dustins family. Our good friend/cousin in law - haha, Shae, was there too. It was good to see her and her cute little boy Mason. We aer so thankful for all the supporte we have from everyone. It was the perfect day!

Right before Church.

These aren't the best pictures. She had had it, so I was lucky to even get these ones!

My side of the fam!

Florida Fam

This month we had some of Chasey's family come visit us. It was a alot of fun having them here. It was also the first time they met Rylee. Chaseys mom and 2 of his sisters came. We told them only Chasey would be able to pick them up from the airport. They were a little dissapointed, but understood. Little did they know all of us would be there! Chasey had to go get them from a different terminal and bring them back to where I was. Hailey was the first to notice us. She said, " Oh my gosh its the baby!!!" Then all 3 of them got a little more excited! We had a good visit with them. We went to Magelby's for lunch, Payson Canyon, Shopping, made a few music videos, ate at Cafe Rio, and just hung out at the house. The time flew by- 4 days wasn't long enough. Chasey's sisters were so good with Rylee. I don't think she was put down once while they were here. Chasey's sister Lo ( Lauren) brought out some baby pictures of her- WOW Rylee looks just like her. Other then their noses they look identical. Same hairline, eyes, cheeks... everything! We loved having them here, and can't wait to see them again in December in sunny Florida!!!

The sign we made for them! Good modeling Chasey

There was a camera on that baby for 4 days straight!
Attempting to play cards. We kept getting distracted.
