Sarah & Johnny's Wedding

So after our 2 week adventure up north we had to get back for Sarah's wedding (Kyle's cousin). Sarah & Johnny were married at Serendipity in Oak Glen, CA. It was a beautiful wedding,  Sarah looked amazing (so did Johnny hahaha). Everyone had a great time. My Aunt Maggie came and picked up Rylie half way through the reception so that Kyle & I could stay. This was the first night I have spent away from my baby, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. But boy was I happy when they brought her home!

"Thank you Sarah & Johnny for a wonderful evening. We love you guys very much and wish you all the happiness in the world!"

Our family vacation...

Kyle, Rylie & I went on a 2 week adventure.
We left Thursday June 9th for Oregon...
*June 10th-12th in Cottage Grove Oregon at Dorena Lake for my nephew Jacob's high school graduation
*June 12th-13th in Grants Pass Oregon at my Auntie Heather's house
*June 14th-20th at my parents house on the San Juan Islands in Washington
*June 20th back to Grants Pass, OR to spend the night
*June 21st-22nd in Marysville, CA at Kyle's cousin's house
We had a really nice time. It was great seeing my family. While we were in Oregon we went to my nephew Jacob's graduation, got to meet the newest member of our family (little Avery), camped at Dorena Lake, picked strawberries from Auntie Heather's garden, went to Wildlife Images to see animals, Kyle did a little fishing, and just enjoyed the fresh air! When we went to my parents house on the San Juan Islands in Washington we got to see Orcas, bald eagles, deer & fox. We relaxed on my parents deck infront of a fire every night. Kyle also planted little trees on my parents property for Rylie, Ashley & Brook, then we all painted rocks with our names on them to put under our trees.  We also got see my Uncle Bill & Janet for a little while, and see his house one last time before he sells it . Another thing we discovered while on the island is geocaching (it's a world wide scavenger hunt), if you don't know what I'm talking about check out the website  http://www.geocaching.com/ it's a total waste of time but kinda fun & exciting hahahahaha.
On the way home we stopped at Kyle's cousins house in Marysville, it was really great to see little Hailey, she's growing up so fast! Rylie was so lucky to get to play with all of her cousins on this trip.
And I must mention that Rylie was AWESOME the entire 2 weeks we were gone, she is such a good little traveler. I am so proud of her!

Rylie's new slide

Daddy bought Rylie a new slide the other day, she loves it! We are going to have so much fun playing in the back yard this summer...

 

YUM

My new favorite drink for the summer is a passion tea lemonade from Starbucks - yum yum! It is so refreshing.

I "heart" dresses

I know I've said this before, but I love having a girl and being able to dress her up. My friend Andrea had bought her this dress a while ago, it finally fits! And it looks SO cute on her.

big girl bath

Up until about 6 weeks ago Rylie was still taking a bath in the kitchen sink (my little peanut!), but now has graduated to the big bath tub. She loves taking baths in the tub, I'll even find her playing in there with all of her clothes on (no water of course). She cracks me up! When I ask her if she wants to take a bath she nods yes and says "ah huh", then she climbs upstairs, starts taking her clothes off and climbs into the tub. She's such a big girl!

"take me out to the ball game!"

On Sunday Kyle & I went to an Angel game with our good friends Garret & Jessica (Rylie stayed with Grandma Karen & Papa). We had a really nice day, we need to do it more often!

"Let's Go Angels!"

Jenna's school carnival

Last night we went to a carnival at Jenna's school, it was really fun. They had games, food, a silent auction, a petting zoo, & square dancing. It was a really nice night hanging out with Auntie Kim, Uncle JT, Jenna & Jake.

45 years...

I have to give a shout out to my Mom & Dad, they celebrated their 45th wedding Anniversary yesterday. WOW 45 years, that is quite a milestone. I want to thank them for being such amazing parents, they have set such a great example. I can only hope & pray for such a long & happy marriage. They have been through so much together and they are still best friends!

"Thank you Mom & Dad for letting me grow up in a home with two loving parents. Thank you for not giving up on each other, and for working hard to make your marriage last. Thank you for showing me what a real marriage takes. It means so much to me to still have both of you together. I love you both very much and I appreciate everything you do for me."

Happy 45th Anniversary!

we went to Daddy's race today

Rylie & I drove out to watch Kyle race his dirt bike at the Fire/Police MX races today. It was nice to get out of the house and spend some time in the fresh air after being stuck inside the last couple of days because of the rain. Kyle's friend brought his little boy Landon, Rylie & Landon did so good playing together. Kyle got 2nd place in the first race & 1st place in the 2nd race. He got 1st place overall in his class - "Go Daddy!". He has 2 more races tomorrow, hopefully he has another good day!
