Rylee

Rylee pulled up a week ago yesterday. And believe it or not, we caught it on camera! How's that for not slacking on the 2nd kid?? Here it is...

I love the wide legs...she's gotten quite a bit better since this picture too. :)

Haylee caught her 1st fish!!

One of our neighbors shared with Tommy where the "good spot" is at our neighborhood catch & release pond...so off we went. Haylee had been fishing before, but had never caught anything. She was SOOO excited to catch something!! :)

Rylee enjoyed a nice bike ride with Mommy while Haylee & Daddy did the fishing...

BLUEBONNETS!

We did the bluebonnet pictures a few weeks ago, as usual. However, this year they doubled as our Easter pics. This mommy didn't have the energy (or the time) to do two seperate sessions...so we made bluebonnets our Easter pics in our Easter dresses. This may just become a tradition in our house. Just like every year...Miss Renee & Harrison joined us. Let me remind you what H & H looked like last year.....remember this picture??

Well, I promise you we did not tell them to do this a few weeks ago.....they just did it. OK, well, MY daughter instructed Harrison to do it.....too funny, huh? They sure have grown A LOT in a year!

And here are a few of my favorites...

Playing peek-a-boo.....which we do ALL THE TIME...

This is my most favorite picture of me and my girls...love it!

Renee & I used to say "H & H"....now it is "H, H & R".....next year we will add a 4th....NOT ME--Renee is pregnant and due in August. And she's having a GIRL! So....poor Harrison will be outnumbered! :)

Summer is around the corner....(yipee!)...

Our block had a crawfish boil this past Saturday. It was about 93 degrees after naptime, so we pulled out a few kiddie pools, dusted off the swimsuits and rubbed some sunscreen on. It's official, Rylee loves the pool just as much as her big sister. And just LOOK at the belly! :)

Hmm....who's legs are bigger you asked? Well, we measured them. Haylee's thighs are 3/4 of an inch bigger...HAHA...that's it!

Don't let this cute face fool you, she is becoming a HUGE fit-thrower and we are NOT fans of that kind of behaivor in our house.

Delani's birthday party

Delani is one of our neighbor friends on the street. This was her 7th birthday party last weekend. Haylee (& Rylee) were the youngest guests...but the big kids did a great job of including Haylee in the fun. Here she is waiting in line for "pin the tail on the puppy"...(it was a puppy themed party)...this picture cracks me up. She looks so grown up!

She thought being blind-folded was a pretty neat thing.

They also played "pass the paw"....it was an inflatable paw and just like the game hot potato. Haylee was the first one out and at first was dissapointed....but being the competitive, game-playing family that we are, I told her to suck it up...she lost. HAHA She was fine...she's used to it. I hate how many kids these days don't understand that there is a winner and lots of losers to EVERY GAME. But I won't completely get on that soapbox right now...

Rylee enjoyed her lunch in her stroller...poor girl was getting over a virus and in the process of getting ANOTHER ear infection that we found out about Sunday night (with lots of screaming). She, by the way, has an appoitment in 2 weeks with an ENT to get tubes put in her ears b/c she's had about 8 or 9 ear infections since October!

There was also a pinata at the party. This was Haylee's first time to enjoy a pinata at a party....she was definitley a fan of it!

Haylee, the big sister

I decided to do a post of each girl....I'm going to try and do this every so often to sort of document what they are doing right now.... Haylee is such a big girl. She will be FOUR in August. I just can't believe that. She loves her sister and loves the fact that she's a big sister, she wants her hair to be long like Tangled, she loves to play pretend, she has pretend friends, she starts preschool in August and is SO EXCITED, she loves all things crafty...painting, coloring, stamps, stickers, etc., she loves to eat/drink "smoovies" (smoothies), she thinks Tommy & I hung the moon (gotta love this age!!), she can write her name, she would eat mac & cheese for every meal if we let her...oh and fruit twists, she goes to dance class and takes ballet and tap, she has a chore chart that doesn't always get completed (ha!) and she makes up her own words.

Miss Rylee

Rylee has gotten SO big! She is nine months now...so hard to believe! She is all smiles, loves to eat, loves her sister, crawls everywhere, gets into stuff (much more than her sister did already!), will play by herself for quite a while, still has no teeth, is very chubby and has TONS of rolls, says "Mama" & "Bye bye", and claps. She will be one in about 2.5 months and we can hardly wait! :)
