What does a Gorilla do?

Well, I finally figured out how to upload video from our video camera to a computer! Last week, I got home from work and Andy said, “Rylee, show Mama what a gorilla does.” And this is what she did! I captured this the next morning before I went to work. She does it all the time now! It is hilarious! She is learning more every day. It is amazing to watch her grow.

Andy’s 30th Birthday Party!






It’s hard to believe that Andy turned 30 this year. It’s even harder to believe that it was already 2 months ago. We had his party the weekend before his birthday. Since he has a love for any food Mexican, we had a fiesta! Margaritas and shredded chicken tacos…can’t go wrong. The weather was fantastic so we spent a lot of time outside. Rylee enjoyed walking around and cheering on her dad while he was playing Donkey Balls.

Up Close and Personal





Well, Andy hit the big 3-0 this year! It was about a week before Rylee’s birthday. We had a big Fiesta for him the weekend before his birthday. We took over 200 photos that day! These were taken in the morning before Rylee’s first nap. She is way to precious. I will post more photos from that day later.

MMM…Spaghetti-O’s!






It was just Rylee and Mama for the evening…and it was bath night…so baby Spaghetti-o’s was on the menu for dinner! Rylee wouldn’t let me feed them to her with a spoon, she kept taking them out of her mouth, looking at them, then eating them. So, I decided to go ahead and put them on her tray. She was a MESS! It was hilarious.

Rylee is ONE!

Well, she’s older than one now, but I have been VERY bad about posting…obviously since my last post was before Rylee’s birthday. We have taken quite a few photos in the last month and a half and I have some definite catching up to do. I will try my very best! I will start with her birthday and go back/forward from there. The last photos I posted are from March!!

Rylee’s birthday went off without a hitch. We had a big BBQ out at our home. The weather was perfect, Rylee was in a fantastic mood and the food was good. My sister Kelli even came from Chicago for the celebration! I borrowed the nice camera from my work and my sister Kristen played photographer. She ended filling up the memory card twice! There are a few shots from the party. Rylee loved her Carrot cake cupcake…and her new pink .22!!
