Christmas Quilt

Well I have decided to make a quilt for Rhylans bed. It will hopefully be done for Christmas. A friend and I have taken this large task together and we hope it all works out okay. We designed the quilts ourselves so we are even more excited to see the finished product. Here are my material chioces. You will probable see my efforts come to life during the next couple of weeks, I will keep you posted...get it? j/k

Cute church book

My mom made this cute book for Rhylan and I had to show it off. She got pictures of all Rhylan's family. There are pictures from both sides with grandparents and great-grandparents. There are silly pictures of her aunts and uncles as well as her favorite page, of Zoe her favorite puppy.

White Coat Ceremony!!!

Today was Riley's convocation for opening ceremonies for optometry school and his white coat ceremony. Doesn't' he look like a doctor? He gets to wear this coat to school now. I took some pictures of him with some of his classmates. The ceremony was neat but really long... Rhylan and I (along with half the mothers I know) had to sit in the hallway for more than half the program.

After the ceremony was homecoming, we had a great time there visiting with friends. Riley has so much stuff and tools for school. I can't believe what he has to carry around with him. So I asked him to bring it home to show you. As you can see he enjoys optometry school so far!

How to drive your mom CRAZY!!!

Step 1: Find a large object to climb on. Make sure your mom thinks it is impossible and dangerous.










Step 2: Use a laundry basket if you have to but start climbing up!










Step 3: Use your incredible arm strength to put the rest of your body over ledges.











Step 4: Never give up, keep your goal in sight. Even if it gets scary.












Step 5: Smile because you know your mom wants to get it on camera to prove to everybody that in fact, RHYLAN DID THIS ALL BY HER SELF, what am I going to do, nothing is safe anymore.

Another new trick

Today Rhylan was having so much fun with a water bottle. She is starting to figure out how to drink from one. As you can tell, most of the water ended up down her shirt but she didn't mind. After each drink she would set the bottle down and put on the lid...kind of. Anyways I was trying to take some cool pictures of her. I particularly like the one from below. If you look close you can see the water on the sides of her mouth overflowing and heading down her shirt. I also like the last one where she is begging for more water.

Thanks

Thank you everyone for replying so fast, it only too me 2 days to get the e-mails i didn't have!!! I hope this makes me feel safer on the internet.

Here is a fun update. Rhylan helped me make breakfast this morning. We made pancakes. Rhylan dumped all the ingredients into the bowl and helped me stir. We each had our own whisk, she like doing what mamma was doing. I think she also liked eating something she helped make. I got this idea from my buddy Rachel, she made brownies from scratch with her 1 year old, good idea Rach.

I was planning on making Rhylan a puppy costume for Halloween and I was excited to maybe make it with a friend. BUT... I found this cute costume today and couldn't resist, you'll see what I mean. She wasn't so excited, good thing we have more than a month to get used to it.

So "Sweet"

Today we went to an orchard to pick apples with a bunch of girls in our ward. However when we got there, the apples weren't quite ripe but the peaches were. Rhylan had the most fun with the baskets, I wasn't even allowed to carry the basket. When I would find a good peach she would take it and put it in the basket herself. She was such a big helper.
