Spring? Please!

We have had ANOTHER couple nice days AGAIN! This time I hope spring is here to stay, and that the snow is gone until Christmas! It makes the day so much better when we can go outside and play for a few hours. Rylee is happier and definately naps better! She loves to be outside. Anytime you walk outside, she crawls over to the door and watches you until you bring her out with you. If you come in and dont take her outside she has a mini meltdown (MMD- thats how we like to abbreviate it).

After breakfast today we went outside for a little bit. We dont even need to be doing anything, and she is happy. Just as long as we are out of the house.

( her headband looks blue... its really purple)

She spotted Molly and started yelling at her

My little Pookie


This is her waiting for me to bring her outside. Isnt she so cute?!

These pictures are out of order. Its late, and you get the idea !

Aren't here little chalk stained pants the cutest?

Not too sure what it is about this picture, but I just LOVE it!

Our Rylee drawing.

I drew, she ate the chalk.

When we are in the house Ry loves her babies, lip gloss, Barbies, anything girly! Outside its sticks, dirt, and rocks!

The final project

She found the dirt, and the flowers.

A little chalk never hurt anyone... right? Look at those little patches of snow in the background. I hope thats the last of them!

Goodbye Clean House

I try so hard to keep a clean house, but with a 10 month old its almost impossible! Today I wanted to cry. Let me just show you why....

I can either have a messy kitchen floor or a messy living room floor. Today Iopted for a messy living room floor, so I could mop the kitchen.

She can get under tables, but she cant get out. Any spare minute I have I feel like Im pulling her out from under a table, or holding her cause she has hit her head!

I put the toys in, Rylee pulls the toys out

Our DVDs arent for watching anymore... they are for throwing! I think I picked these up 10 times today. Every time I would, Ry would throw a fit.

I finally just left them.
It was quiet for no more then 2 minutes, and low and behold she had discovered the toilet paper. As soon as the toilet paper was cleaned up I walked in the kitchen and found tupperware EVERYWHERE!

All of that fun she had finally led to this...

I was so tired from chasing her all day, that I left my house a mess and watched some Desperate Housewives! Im not complaining about any of this cause I love being home with her, and watching her get so happy as she throws stuff! Just one of those days I guess!

10 months

I am happy to say that I have THE CUTEST 10 month old EVER!

Just in the last month her personality and sassiness has gone up about 10 nothches! I am beginning to see that we might have our hands full as she gets older, but I am loving every second of it! I dont really have alot of new things to say. I keep our blog pretty updated, so anything she has done the past month has already been blogged about!

*WHATS NEW AT 10 MONTHS*

Rylee is becoming quite the little firecracker! If you put something on her ( jacket, headband, hat, bib, sweatshirt, pants, shoes, or socks) she FRIEKS! Her face goes bright red, she arches her back, and starts this fake cry! Of course we take whatever it is right off, but there are times when she has to keep the jacket on... not a pretty site! Also if she sees a cell phone or sucker and you dont give it to her she does the same thing.

She blows kisses and gives big slobbery kisses- oooohhhhh I LOVE THOSE!!!

She waves bye to everything we pass and says bye.

We have started into the tantrums. You think the first little spill about arching her back is a tantrum? Nope! Ry will throw herself on the ground and roll and cry, and then just get so tired that she lays there for a minute. Chase and I cant help but laugh at her. I know this isnt the best thing to do, but its hillarious!

We might have a little performer on our hands! Rylee LOVES music and dancing! Anytime a song comes on she starts shaking her body and clapping and laughing. She loves when we dance with her too. Her laugh is so priceless when we swing and dip her. Her favorite songs right now are American Honey, Today was a Fairytale, Vanilla Twilight, Tik Tok, and Party in the USA. When its time for bed she loves me to sing her I am a child of God, Love is spoken here, and I love to see the Temple. Anytime she is upset those last 3 calm her right down. Also we can say Ry shake your booty and she moves her little bum up and down! She inherited Chaseys dancing skills!

She loves Rice and Peas!

She still loves to be outside, take baths, play with Molly, and eat anyhting she finds on the ground.

Despite a couple tantrums a day, she is so dang happy all the time. I love playing with her and hearing her laugh. She just makes me and Chasey so happy all the time! We are so blessed to have her, and cant believe how fast she is growing and learning new things!

I showed her a sucker in this picture! She got a little excited about it!

Look at that face- I just want to eat it up!

Her big smile makes me so happy



I put away this doll for a few months, and just got it back out. When she saw it she was so happy!
My little Bug!
Yes, we played in the snow on April 6! We are ready for some warm weather.

Not the best picture of Rylee, but she always crawls over to Molly to "play" with her.

Her little side poses crack me up.

Love those eyes!

She is going to have her dads eyebrows too.

Watching some Yo Gabba Gabba.

Happy 10 Months Lil' Pookie!

A Salt Lake Day

Last Thursday me and my friend Jovy went to SLC to visit our friend Ambre! She had just gotten home from her mission, and we were so excited to see her! On our way up Chasey called and wanted us to stop by his jobsite. He has been working up by the Temple for almost 2 years now. I went last April and saw what they had done, but hadnt been back. So, when we got there this time I couldnt believe how much was done! It was nice to see what Chasey does everyday! The buildings and parking garages were amazing! They just opened the new Desert Book, and let me just tell you that it is AWESOME! Chasey liked showing us everything, and all the stuff he had done. Im so lucky to have a husband who is so talented, and works so hard for our family!

This was Chasey as we pulled up.

Lookin good

After we visited with Chase through his lunch, we walked over to Temple Square. Our friend Julie is serving her mission there, and another of Jovys friends as well. We had to wait for them to get done with their morning stuff, so we walked over to the visitor center. We took Ry up to the big statue of Christ. She just started talking and smiling and clapping and pointing. I think she really knew who it was. She would point at the statue, and then talk faster then I have ever heard her before. People were just watching her!

We finally got to see Julie. She looks the exact same, and is the same Julie! I havent seen her since NY, so it was good to catch up a little.

After all that we finally made it to Clearfield to see Ambre! It was so good to see her! I love that girl. She ended up coming back to Salem with us, and spending some time at the house.

One of the Favorite pictures of the night!
