...Sick Day...

I knew when Rylee woke up at 8:00 ( her regular time), and went back to bed at 8:45 that she was not feeling good.

Good thing Moe Moe was there.

We spent the day on the couch eating popsicles and watching movies.

She insisted on the hat, her pillow pet, and the t-shirt blanket.

A bath always makes you feel better, and it seemed to do the trick for Ry.

For about an hour she was herself.

Yes, outfits like this are common at our house. She has such style!

Then we were back on the couch.

No one could sit by her. She wanted her space with her and her toys.

That pink bag is full of barbies!

After a VERY LONG night we went to instacare first thing Saturday morning. Poor Ry had double ear infections, bronchitis in her chest and her throat was full of white bumps. We got her all drugged up... in a good way... and she slept the majority of the day!

Being sick doesn't stop Ry... her toys were still lined up next to her the whole time she was sick.

I wish I could tell you how many times we watched these two movies in 3 days, but I lost count after 12.

We have about a million other movies, but these two were the favs!

I felt bad she was sick, but I got extra cuddle time in with her and I cleaned out all my closets!

Funny story about the barbie next to her. We went to Stone Drug to get her medicine and from across the room she spots the only Barbie in the whole store. She looks at me and says , " Momma, I sick. Bawbie please?" Then she waited until I said yes. She said," thank you momma" and layed back down on my shoulder.

...January Birthdays...

In January we have a lot of birthdays to celebrate! Kenna, Ben, Mallori, Ella, and Summer! It gives us something to do in the loooooong boring month of January!

I only got pictures of Ben and Mallori's birthdays... sorry everyone else.

My nephew Ben turned 8 this year! I cant believe he is 8, It doesn't seem like that long ago that I was babysitting him while his mom finished college! Lucky for me I was the fun single aunt for a long time, so I got to be really close with all my nieces and nephews! Its so fun to watch them grow up, and learn and try new things.

We tried to get a picture with Ben and Rylee at the baptism... this is how it turned out.

Me and Ben.

Sam's awesome lunch, chips!

After the baptism Katie had everyone back to her house for lunch, gifts, and cake.

Ben's cheese sandwich

He got a lot of cool gifts, but the best one was....

His bike!

I love his face in the picture!

Katie ( his mom) and Ben!

The next week my niece turned 11!!!!

Mallori was the first baby born on our side, so she got a lot of attention... especially from me! I loved going to Tooele every week to see her, and spoil her! It blows my mind that she is 11. She doesn't want to sit at the kids table, she is always hanging around with the adults, she wants to babysit Rylee all the time, and she is just so grown up. We went shopping for her birthday, and I showed her a cute shirt. She looked at it and said, "I kind of want one with a built in bra."  Well then, when did you stop liking character shirts, and now need one with a bra?! I love her so much!!!

We had a fun day of shopping and Olive Garden with my mom, my sister, and my other niece Rachel!

Mal's birthday drink.

Making the number 11!



...January in a nut shell...

Okay, so instead of trying to remember everything we did in January and posting a million pictures, here is a quick look at the month....

We hung out inside a lot cause it was too cold to go out!

Rylee loves to be outside and doing stuff, but she loves to watch movies too! I don't know why she has a bottle in this picture, we haven't given her one for months!

Chasey worked over night one day, so we had a slumber party in the front room.

Ry has always loved to get her fingers and toes painted, but just recently she has discovered how fun it is to paint everyone else's too.

We have a new favorite pair of shoes... well did... now she wears her cowboy boots everywhere.

We got our other baby ready for bed.

Rylee fell in love with corn dogs and taking a million baths a day.

Crayons for the tub are the BEST things EVER!

Sayla came over while Kenna was at gymnastics.

Ry got introduced to PS2

She hung out with dad more.

That's a big deal since she is such a mommas girl.... I love it though! Don't you love the totally hip outfit Chasey dressed her in? Don't judge.

Friday night homemade pizza with daddy!

We got ready for Valentines.

Ry is obsessed with my phone.

Even with all the play phones and old phones I have given her she still wants mine!

I started the gym, so Chase would put Ry to bed at night. Most nights I found them like this.

Little Stinker!

She loves makeup!!

I usually put it up out of reach, but this day I forgot!

We watched it snow A LOT!

Ry got her own laptop... its pretty much amazing! Now she leaves our computer alone.

We babysat for my SIL's friends.

Rylee loved their kids, and even more loved their Wii!

Here she is trying to do the ski jump. She didn't weigh enough to even register that someone was on it.

We had a few melt downs... mostly cause she couldn't have any more candy.

Ry found her Valentine present early and brought it to me.

She has carried that Minnie around with her for the past 3 weeks!

...We Are Alive...

So we cancelled our internet about 3 weeks ago because Comcast raised our bill by $90 a month... jerks! We have been searching for the best price, and someone we dont have to sign a contract with. Well, we finally found someone and we will have internet again on Friday! I know you are all so sad that you you havent been able to stalk our lives, but get ready for a months worth of updates this weekend!!!
