Baby It's Hot Outside...

I was so excited to post our family pictures that I did not post pictures from the last couple of weeks, so here you go:

A couple of weeks ago we had the entire house painted, so exciting! It took 3 days and it looks great, we are totally in LOVE. My mom watched Rylee two of the days over at her house and then we shopped the third day since Brad was home. Rylee enjoyed stalking the painters while waiting for Grammy to come get her. She was actually sitting with her legs sticking out between the balcony bars, but of course by the time I got my camera she wasn't anymore.

This was taken the 3rd day after shopping with Mommy ;) Ry had to nap in our bed since the painters were so loud and by her bedroom.
Later that day Uncle J came over to help Brad hang our t.v. back on the wall. Rylee was excited to have someone else read to her besides Mommy (Mommy was too). She brings me books all day long to read to her, sometimes the same book over and over. I love that she loves to read, but man it wears me out sometimes. I feel bad, but sometimes I have to put her basket of books away so she will play!

This is Ry's favorite spot while I'm picking up/cleaning our bedroom and bathroom.

Ry was walking around the house sucking this plastic container to her face and then would crack up laughing, it was too funny!

Last week Ry and I went over to Aunt Diane's house and Ry got to play with her cousin Cora. We finally painted Ry's room and Aunt Diane is going to paint a tree on her wall. I will have to take pictures when she finishes.

Ry eating blueberries with Daddy, she LOVES blueberries!

Last weekend we went over to Brad's parent's house to swim and cook out. We had lots of fun!

Ry splashing with Maw in the pool

Awwww, so cute together!

Ry with Maw and Poppy. Or I should say "Pee-Paw", Ry has come up with this on her own ;)

Helping Daddy cook some bacon for breakfast Sunday morning

This is one of Ry's favorite spots. She will sit between her toy box and basket of books and just sit there and read books all by herself, it is so sweet!

Did I mention Ry enjoys it under my sink?! She even put one of my headbands on all by herself!

Ry likes putting her leg up in her high chair while she eats, but this morning she put it up all the way onto her tray, such a stinker!

Swimming, swimming and more swimming! I got Ry a little blow up pool with a slide. It also has a giraffe that sprays water out its mouth. I had to deflate the giraffe head, Ry was not a fan!

Have a great weekend!

Family Pictures

My sister took family pictures for us Friday night. To say it was hot, is a total understatement, I thought we were going to melt! Chrissy brought Elliott to entertain Rylee, but Rylee only wanted to play with Elliott v.s. smile/laugh at her, but of course Rylee is adorable any way you can get her ;).

I had a really hard time posting these and couldn't post some of my favorite pictures for some reason. If you click Chrissy's photography website at the right side, she has posted a couple on there that I was not able to.

Thank you again Chrissy, you are amazing!!!

I'm Going To Wrap This Baby In Bubblewrap......

Rylee has had quite the week, and not a good one :( Two Sundays ago she choked on a Doritos so bad that we called 911. She is so good about taking bites of stuff and pretty much eats everything, however, I think because of how thick Doritos are compared to other chips and the shape, this was not a good idea. She started to choke (which she has done before and usually gags until she gets it up) but this time it was not coming up. The fear on her face is something I will never forget! She finally started to throw up, but I never saw the Doritos come out and she kept throwing up. I stayed on the phone with 911 until the ambulance got to our house and by that time she was fine, THANK GOD! Needless to say, we have a CPR class we are going to tomorrow, which is long over due and we should have done a long time ago!!!

Then, 3 days later Rylee was playing in one of her little chairs on the kitchen floor and fell face first onto the tile. As soon as I picked her up I saw a mouth full of blood, and she was crying so hard that no sound was coming out. After cleaning her up we were able to check her teeth, which seemed fine, but her lip and side of her face was swollen to twice the size, THIS BROKE MY HEART! It took what felt like an eternity for her to calm down, but once she did she was her old self again.

The next day she was still a little swollen, but her gum around her front tooth was so bruised that I new I wouldn't feel better until she saw our dentist to double check. Our dentist said that we "dodged a bullet," that she mainly cut her gums and her tooth was only a little mobile, but nothing to worry about. He said to watch it and keep it really clean so it would not get infected. He said that if it turns grey she might have to have surgery, which is pretty much like a root canal, so that her permanent teeth are not affected. We go back next week for him to check up on it.

Needless to say, I have not felt like the best mom here lately! I know I shouldn't beat myself up because she is bound to hurt herself many more times to come, I just HATE that there is nothing I can do about it. I know I can't prevent her from ever feeling pain again, but I sure wish I could!

Enough about that! On to my many pictures of our last couple of weeks:

Rylee lovin on her baby

Not cooperating for a picture, but still cute!

A week ago Friday, I got the pleasure of watching sweet Addie! I took SOOOOOOOO many pictures that all turned out so cute, but would have taken me forever to post them all, so I picked my favorites. Rylee and Addie are so cute together, I know they will be BFF! Here they are eating lunch.

Rylee being a ham!

Rylee showed Addie how much fun it was to spin in chairs!


Addie playing dress up, she loved all of Rylee's fun necklaces!

This is my absolute favorite, so sweet!

Rylee has turned into quite the climber. She already thinks it's time for her to start working out ;)

Such a stinker

Rylee and Daddy, the cutest two people ever!

While we were house sitting for our neighbors Rylee really enjoyed their leap frog alphabet magnet on their refrigerator, so I had to get her one. She does so good with it and can even put the letters in by herself! Too bad this did not last long..... just this week she took it off the refrigerator and put it in Ruger's water bowl and now it doesn't work. It will be a little while before I get her a new one...

Love this pose!

I bought these little containers to put all of her play food in for easy clean up, Rylee decided she likes sitting in them better..........she loves her corn!

Rylee enjoyed a little joyride from daddy in her shopping cart from Grammy and Papa! They were chasing Ruger around the house, Rylee thought it was hilarious. Then, we couldn't get her out of it, every time we took her out she cried to get back in. We had to hide it in our bedroom so she would forget about it.

If you can click on this picture you can see the adorable expression on her face

Another example of Rylee's climbing skills, she's such a stinker. "Time Out" isn't working either, she thinks it's funny. So this table is now upstairs!

Rylee LOVES playing her sandbox

This was the morning after she fell, you can kind of see her swollen lip.

4th of July morning we went to Cafe Brazil for breakfast....YUMMY!

Our little firecracker

Rylee loves biting her own toes.... and mine, not sure why ;)

Rylee loves going pantless, so I put them on her head and she thought it was the coolest thing ever. These pictures crack me up!!!

Rylee waiting for Grammy and Papa to come over for dinner

Rylee and Grammy reading a story, she loves to read!

We are watching our neighbor's house again this week, which means POOL TIME!
