Newly Discovered Treat


We have offered Rylee watermelon on several different occasions, but she would never eat it. Tonight I was eating some and she pointed at it and asked for some. So, I put a bit on the fork, she opened her mouth, and then stuck her tongue out and would not eat the watermelon. We did this a few times, and I looked at her and said, "just eat it!" Once she finally ate a bite, I could not get her to stop eating it. I hope this is the start to eating lots of foods she has not wanted to try yet.

A Few More Pool Party Pics


It was really fun last night because our Daddy came with us to the pool party too. He does not get to make many soccer events because of his work schedule, so it was really fun to have him there too. The other picture is just a few of my girls. I am really sad right now because I am giving this team up this year and I am really going to miss this group of girls. They have been so much fun and such a great team to coach, but after 2 1/2 years it is time for a change. The fun part is I still get to work with them as their team trainer.

Best Friend, Tay-Tay



While Rylee loves every girl on the team and will go to any of them at any moment, she has really taken to one of my player in particular, Taylor. Whenever we drive up to a field, to Taylor's house, or if she sees any of the girls she starts asking for "Tay-Tay." Taylor is so sweet and will always watch Rylee for me. I have been working with a younger team lately and Taylor will come to those practices or games, just to watch Rylee for me. Taylor is also the big sister to Jensen in the picture below and Carson who is not pictured, and Rylee really likes playing with the boys too. So a shout out to our best friend, thanks for all you do for Rylee!

Pool Party



After an evening of soccer practice, what is better than a pool party with the soccer team? For those who do not know, Rylee thinks she is 14 and is a member of the team. These girls are her best friends. Tonight was our end of the season party and Rylee had a great time. It started with swimming and playing with the girls, then some pizza, brownies and gummi bears. Her little friend Jensen was there, he is 4, and she absolutely adores him. He is really cute with her too, very protective of "Baby Rylee."

No Pictures, Please

My poor daughter got a sunburn on Saturday, something about being outside from 8:00am - 4:30pm. Yes, we had sunblock, but she is so fair. The funny part is my players put on the sunblock and were scared to get it in her eyes, so the only place she was burnt was around her eyes. So, on Saturday evening her eyes were bright red, it was so sad. Then Sunday when she woke up she had scratched her eye and now she has a huge scab on the side of her nose. On top of that under her eyes is now flaking away. So, I will get pictures as soon as my little girl looks pretty again!

Yes, we are still alive


It has been a long week full of soccer everyday. Luckily, Rylee loves being out at the fields and playing with her best friends. State Cup is over and I never took a picture of her out at the fields playing, but she will be on thousands of fields to get those pictures. After a long two weeks of soccer we thought we would unwind with a bit of shopping in Park City. Rylee would not hold still for me to get a picture, so this is the only one where it is not the back of her head. I promise to be a better blogger this next month!

Rylee Has An Announcement . . .


It is true, Rylee is going to be a big sister, and we cannot be more excited. I am two months along, making our due date December 30th. Matt made sure the Doctor was aware that getting our tax deduction for this year was important, and he promised it would be done. Since this will be my second, the Doctor will induce me a week early, December 23, so I am hoping this little one comes two weeks early like their big sister. We got Rylee this little shirt for her to wear down in Texas this weekend and break the news to everyone, it was a hit. So, if anyone is wondering what to get us for Christmas this year, how about diapers or new baby clothes since this one will be a Winter Baby! :)

More Golf With Daddy


Rylee got to go golfing again with Daddy. We had a great time together. Rylee ran around the course, played in the bunkers, helped Daddy with his clubs, and she even stole my ball before I could hit it.

Missing Our Friends


Kennedy and Trace came by a few times while they were in town, they were sweet enough to even bring me a Birthday present! I was sitting in Church today and someone mentioned Trace's house and the new family that moved in, and I have to be honest I actually got a bit sad. Rylee has so much fun with her "big sister" Kennedy, and it helps that Trace and I had so much fun too. I found this cute, sweet picture of Rylee and Kennedy on Trace's blog and wanted to post it here too. -

She Did It


So for the last few weeks we have been teaching Rylee about the potty. She came running into the family room, so we ran to the potty and she did it. She went potty in the big girl potty. I spared pictures of the event, you are welcome! :)

"Mama, Mama"


I was on the phone, of course when am I not, and all I hear from behind the couch is my name. I looked over the edge of the couch and found this. She had emptied toys out of the basket, so she could climb in and play. Silly munchkin.
