You are so BEAUTIFUL, to me

I found Rhylan making faces at her self the other day. She found our mirror and saw the pretty girl and couldn't help chit-chatting.




I had to put the mirror away so she didn't break it. However, she found it again. Later I found little kiss marks on the mirror and I know it wasn't me.

Cyber babysitting

We finally were able to talk to my sister on the webcam the other day. Rhylan loved seeing her tia on the computer. I had it set up on the table right in front of her, she was talking and making faces for Tiff. During the process I needed to go get the power cord from the bedroom and Tiffany promptly offered "I'll baby sit" it was so funny. I came back in the room and snagged these pictures of the "two of them."

Timmy the Turtle: our new pet

This little guy lives in our pond outside our back balcony. We have seen him two days in a row now and have lovingly called him Timmy. We are excited about the wild animals here. We hope to soon see an armadillo... alive.

New MIssissippi adventures

Well Rhylan has been a little sick with a throat infection so we took her to the park on one of her more cranky days. She was all over the place. She mostly loved the slides and was able to go down all by herself. Riley tried to teach her the monkey bars but I think that will have to come later.

GREEN !!!!

Well living here only one week I can tell you that this place is beautiful. Coming from AZ I am not used to all the green here. I just took a couple of pictures to show you what I mean. Also people have huge yards that are georgious!!! We are really loving it here so far.

Dryer adventure

Rhylan climbed in here all by herself and decided to stay a while. I just thought she was so cute and curious i had to take a bunch on pictures.

She tries to make her excape

Just this last week Rhylan had discovered that she can fit through the doggy-door. All summer long she has peeked through and tried to put toys through but now it is her body. She had tried a couple times, and we almost don't catch her in time!!

strike a pose

Rhylan is becoming so animated lately. She has started making faces. Here are a couple of our favorites. She makes some of these faces to make us laugh, she knows she is funny and she will do it over and over again because she knows we will all clap and laugh at her. Obviously some of the other faces are frustrated faces, but cute anyways.

Olympic complaint

We are enjoying the Olympics this year. However, Riley is disappointed in the lack of Canadian coverage. I told him yeah here in the U.S. they only show our teams playing... maybe the United States will play Canada in something soon and he can root for them. Poor Riley.

Puppy Love

I took these pictures last night and this morning. Rhylan really loves my parents dog Zoe. She gives Zoe hugs, kisses, tries to pick her up, and even sits with her in her bed. Zoe is a pretty good sport about it all. I think she puts up with Rhylan because she always shares her food with Zoe.
