favorite age

I know that I will probally post most pictures of Rylee but this is my

favorite age. They are learning new things everyday.

Rylee just discovered babies. On Friday she held this baby all day.

She gave her kisses(just slobered) all over.

Maybe I just want to take more pictures because Rick gave me

a fantastic new lense for my camera. It is great!!

eat dirt

Rylee found a small plant in the corner and she was having a hay day eating.

I called and called her to find her behind the couch with a mouth full of dirt.
Sometimes I forget to feed my kids and this is what they get.
What a face!!

were goin' back to cali

I know that I am really behind but we took a trip to California last week.
It was a long drive expecially with a baby, but we made it there.
I took a ton of pictures (397 to be exact) but I am still trying to figure out how to use it,

so only 50 turned out. So you get to see all 50 just kidding.

So here is just a few of my favs.

We had to go the Train Museum

We had our own personal guided tour.

I broke all the rules just to get 1 good picture.

The lighting was terrible in there.

The girls love to go fishing (my personal HELL)
This is Naomi catching the first fish. That is all that was
documented because I got the dodge out of there.
Holding Rylee in my arms for 2 hours is just wrong.

The next day we went up the canyon and the girls Oh! and Grandpa Jr
got into the water to cool down.

Naomi making a muddy mess.

Sadie enjoying the cool water.

What a sweet baby.

I love this hat so I was playing with my camera trying to capture

her great smile with her eyes.

Grandpa Jr plays the guitar really well. It is the one thing that I love about him.

Give him a song and he can play it. So this is right up Sadie's alley.

She loves to sing.

So this is what we did most nights. Our little rock band.

Grandpa singing a little Johnny Cash

The girls had a chance to ride horses on the last day.

Grandma Linda has a friend with some horses.

They had a great time with it, but it was sooo hot and tons of flys.

Sounds fun!!

My Girls!

It was a good time but I was really glad to be home in my own bed.

Theres no place like home!

hog heaven

Here is what I love about my kitchen.

{The sink}

It is big enough to put my kids in for a bath.

After a messy dinner on night I stuck her in the sink.

You would have thought that she was in heaven.

She laughed and played forever.

So that was my turn to try and use my camera.

I love her eyelashes they are really long and curl up.

So I thought of Carin (which she doesn't know who I am, I blog stalk her)

she is my friend Dede sister who takes wonderful pictures.

She had a challenge of capturing your kids eyelashes.

So this is my attempt to do so as she plays in the water.

Here is my beautiful baby in the sun.

I am blessed to have such a great baby.

fabric key chain

I love it when things turn out. I made this fabric keychain for my keys.

I can either put this on my wrist when getting kids into the car, or it

makes a great hold for Rylee to suck on when going to the store.

first bite

Rylee is now 6 months old. So I just started to feed her cereal. My girls were so excited to do this. I thought that she would be so ready to eat because when I am eating she trys to grab my fork or cup.

So here we go this is the first bite.

She still has a smile on her face wondering what is going on.

Not quite sure but smiling at her sisters that are so excited.

This is what her face is after the second bite. She did not like this at all.

After all that every bite she learned how to push the bowl away and the spoon.

I would put the spoon in her mouth when she was talking.

I know that this is not a first but I would have her swallow the cereal by

putting the binky in her mouth and the food would go down.

When I went to feed her today she just started crying before I got the food to her mouth.

I have got a long road ahead.

"all screwed up"

So May 27th has come and gone but I am finally blogging about

Naomis surgery on her growth plate.

I was nervous on how it would go and how would she would do. But she did really good.

We woke up at 6:00 a.m. and left for Primary Childrens and got there about 6:45 a.m.

They take you back and register and give the parents name tags (so that the doctor can remember who you are)

Then the nurse comes and weights you and has you put there gowns on.

Naomi did really good up until that part. Once we started walking back to the waiting room before the surgery she turned around and cried and said "I don't want to do it"

And if you know me of course I held it together and not one tear fell.

Her doctor came back and talked about what was happening and they put her in the wagon and away she went. They gave her bubble gum air to smell and she does not remember anything else. The surgery took over 1 hour and I went back to see her.So this is what she has been doing for the last few days.

If you have a weak stomach don't look any further.

We took some pictures of what her leg looks like. They put screws

on both side of the growth plate hopping that her leg will stop growing.

I hope that this all works out that I (and Naomi) doesn't have
to do this ever again. I think this is harder on me than her.
