... Greatest Thing On Earth...

Everyday I feel grateful for Rylee, but lately as she is getting bigger and more grown up I realize how fast time goes. Last year at this time she was just crawling, now she talks my ear off and runs everywhere! She can count to six, knows a few of her colors, wants to dance to every song she hears, and is the 

GREATEST THING ON EARTH!!! 

Chase and I say oh man remember when we could sleep in or go to bed at 6 cause we were exhausted? Remember when we could run to Chilis at 9:00 at night to get chips and queso and then come home and watch any movie we wanted? All the times our date nights started at 8 and ended after midnight? Those were some of the funnest days together, but trading it all for what we have now is not a question! To be able to hear Rylee say her prayers at night and ask for more milk and get woken up at 3 am only to hold her tight and rock her back to sleep. All the messes we have left at restaurants cause our daughter had to have just one more pack of crackers to smash then throw on the floor. All the little kid movies that Chasey and I now know every word to... even better when Chase calls me and says he has been singing Yo Gabba Gabba at work all day! Rylee makes our lives so great!!! Everything about her is perfect! 

Tonight she wouldn't go to bed, so I sat and rubbed her back and sang to her until she fell asleep. I want her to let me do that forever. I want her to be my baby forever, but I know she has to grow up. I love to go into her room after she has fallen asleep and get her out of bed and hold her. Sometimes I bring her into our bed and just hold her. I love in the morning when she wakes up and says "hi momma!" It makes me so happy every morning. I love when she runs to me and wraps her leg around me so tight and squeezes me. Tonight she grabbed my cheeks with her little hands and said, " momma kiss and huggies pwease?" I cant get enough of her. I know I spoil her, but how can you say no when she looks at you with those big blue eyes and says "pwease I have it momma pwease?" She can have whatever she wants!! 

I wish I could video tape everything she does. She makes me laugh all the time, and makes our home such a happy place. We are so thankful that she is ours and she is healthy. I am so thankful to Chasey for working so hard so I can stay home and raise her too. She truly is the GREATEST THING ON EARTH!!
