All sorts of Animals

I walked into the living room after Rhylan had been playing with her Noah's Ark set. This is what I found! If you look closely you can see the animals are paired with animals that are similar or the same. All the these animals were in the boat at one time and she removed them all by her self. Riley and I are still wondering if this is a coincidence or if we have a baby genius.

Later Rhylan decided to use her daddy as a horse. They both seem to be having fun with this activity!

YOU

Rhylan you used to be my little baby and now you are my little girl. I watched you today climb up to the computer all by yourself. You are getting so smart! You know how to work the keyboard and mouse. You were pretending! You didn't seem to need me then you were playing all by yourself. I just sat and stared for a while and I couldn't help thinking how fast these last 16 months have gone by. You have changed and learned so much. It truly is amazing. I am always so excited to see you achieve new milestones but sad in a way to leave your baby year behind. I know I will look back later and see that you were still so small, but for right now you seem so big to me. It's hard to believe you are my little baby.

"She's Got The Beat"

We put in this new CD and Rhylan just started groov'n. This is a new dance by the way, check out the shoulders!

Rhylan loves her baby dolls

Rhylan loves to play with her baby dolls. She wanted me to wrap up her babies in their blankets. Then she decided to lay the blanket in the floor for them to lay on. How sweet.

She likes to feed and kiss her dolls. She even gives them rides in her stroller.



Sorry about the naked baby, I think Rhylan realized there was a problem because she went and got this diaper and tried to fix it.

Just practicing

I just learned how to put videos on my blog yesterday and I wanted to try it out. This is a video from Riley's white coat ceremony, if you watch the big screen in the background you can see him shake the school pres hand! So far I only know how to put videos from my camera on here and there isn't any sound on my camera videos? Oh well I'll keep trying.

Round

I love how round she looks in this picture. Her eyes, her lips, her cheeks, and her face are just round

Picnic and a nap

Today we went to a picnic with a lot of SCO students. We had a great time, we were there for about two hours. All of Rhylan's friends were there. She just ran around and got completely worn out.

Photo Shoot, Rhylan's way

So I tried to do a cute photo shoot of Rhylan and these are the best pictures I was able to get... all she wanted to do was rip out her hair clip and draw in that little book.

Mothers Group Activity

In our new ward, some girls have started a mothers group. I love it! We go to the park once a week and then there is usually 1-2 more activities the rest of the week. It has been nice to get to know the other girls in our ward as well as the other SCO student wives. Today we made hair bows. We all brought ribbon and swapped. I loved it. Here are the ones I made. Rhylan is showing you how they look on her...she thinks she looks great (she is looking in the mirror)!

Still Swimming

Yesterday was so hot here that we decided to go swimming. We got suited up and walked over to the pool, in this humidity you are already sweaty by the time you walk there. So when we get there our friends had showed up too. But we found out that the pool was closed. We were so sad, Rhylan just kept pointing to the pool and crying for it. Luckily Heather and Lucy's pool was still open so we spent the afternoon over there. They have a great big kid pool that they girls just loved!! But Rhylan was so preoccupied that I couldn't even get her to look at the camera!
