The Little Gym

I Love the Gym!

The Next Olympic Gymnist?

I started my Little Gym classes on September 3rd. Mommy and I go every Wednesday. We do things there like ringing bells, singing, jumping on mats, swinging on bars, walking on balance beams, play with bubbles and just enjoy being a growing toddler.

Here are my classmates. That's my teacher standing in the black shirt.

Here I am with Gabriella, I was showing her how big girls jump off the mats.

Don't try this at home.

They call me Smiley Rylee because they say I giggle and smile a lot. I'm just a happy girl!

I was putting on a show for my class - showing them how to dance, clap and jump on this mat.

See me in the pink? This is called parachuting. All the kids get in and the Mommys walk us around for a ride then slowly lift us in the air. It's pretty fun, I was the first to jump in.

Bye Bye Monkey

What do Monkeys say?

Zoo Fun

Kisses to all my family & friends!

I'm such a happy girl!

Monkeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeys!

I saw lots of animals at the zoo! Mommy jumped in and stood right beside this guy to get his picture! (no not really)

Mom, Dad and me posing after lunch!

How do I look in these shades?

Mommy and I loved the Polar Bear! Doesn't he look sweet?

All these animals are making me tired!

See the 2 yellow frogs?

Here kitty kitty kitty kitty....

Daddy - what are those!?

Monkeys!

Another favorite of mine were the elephants!

I call this a puppy, Mommy and Daddy call it a giraffe, whatever that means!

What in the world is that?

I'm no princess..

ha ha...very funny mom.

get this off my head!

The Girls Next Door

Here I am with the neighbor girls... D and R! We three have lots of fun together! We spent most of our summer hanging out by the pool everyday!

I'm Back!

Hi Family & Friends! I know it sure has been a while since I have been online. Let me just say that I sure have missed you all! Don't worry, we will have internet at our house very soon so I will get some more pictures up so you can all see how much I've been growing.

Lots of things have been going on lately! As you know, Mommy started her new job at the hospital where she is working 3 nights a week. She loves it and the best part is - I get to spend all day with her! Things couldn't be better!

Our neighborhood pool finally opened up so Mommy and I have been spending lots of time there. I love swimming! I've already went under water 3 times (not by choice) - but it wasn't so bad! In the past month or so I have become a HUGE Elmo fan! Let's just say I dance and sing along to every song! Mommy & Daddy are probably getting sick of Elmo but not me!

Yes, as many of you are wondering, I'm saying LOTS of new things! Mommy & Daddy are trying to get me to sing the alphabet and count. I also make lots of animal noises too. OH! More big news, Mommy & Daddy have been trying the "potty training" thing with me the past 2 weeks! It seems like a pretty weird thing, I hear "Rylee wanna pee pee on the potty?" then we all run to my potty and I sit there while they stare at me waiting on something to happen. So I sit there and say "Pee Pee" then jump up and run to get a diaper. Maybe I'll figure out what their trying to get me to do eventually.

I will have some pictures up soon - I miss you and Love you all!
Hugs -n- Kisses!!

Happy Mother's Day

Since it may be a little bit before I am back online, just wanted to wish:

Nana, Gammy, Great Aunt Susie, Aunt Nancy, Lorie, Jennifer, Great Aunt Jane, Tessa, Angelia, Great Aunt Brenda and ALL the other Mothers reading this a very very very:

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!


No Love like a Mother's Love by Jill Lemming

There is no love, like a mother's love,
no stronger bond on earth...
like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a mother, when she gives birth.

A mother's love is forever strong,
never changing for all time...
and when her children need her most,
a mother's love will shine.

God bless these special mothers,
God bless them every one...
for all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they've done.

When her days on earth are over,
a mother's love lives on...
through many generations,
with God's blessings on each one.

Be thankful for our mothers,
for they love with a higher love...
from the power God has given,
and the strength from up above.

God Answers Prayers!!

Hi Family & Friends! Sorry no pictures today but I'll have some up soon! Just wanted to give everyone a quick little update!

So, today is my mommy's last day at work! She starts a new job at the hospital, MosesCone, working 3 nights a week! That means she gets to stay home with me! I don't know who is more excited, me or Mommy!!! After many prayers, Mommy landed a really great job and really looks forward to getting started! Next week she starts training, the position is a Nursing Secretary/Monitor Tech. She will be responsible for watching and measuring EKG charts as well as keeping up with Doctors notes for patients' records. Sounds too complicated for me, but we are really super excited!

Thanks to all who have said a prayer that Mommy would be able to stay home with me. God has truly blessed us and we are so thankful!

Love and kisses to you all!!!

Mommy, Daddy & ME!

Time Outside!

Hi there! I'm getting ready to go outside and play!!

Look!! It's a bird!!!


I'm picking the grass for Daddy.

Here's a big smile to all my family and friends!

I laugh a lot!

Something sure was funny!

Money goes in the Piggy Bank!

Gammy & PawPaw came to visit me yesterday - they got me this really cute new butterfly chair - but instead of sitting in it, I push it around.

I also emptied out Gammy coin purse for my piggy bank. Poor Gammy - I left her with a few pennies.

Now time to fill up my piggy bank...

Girlfriends

This past Sunday - I got to spend some time with one of the coolest chicks I know, Taylor. We greeted each other with hugs! (well... Taylor hugged me)

Then we shared some snacks....and had a staring contest...

Then we played with toys and socialized with our family...

And sadly, our time ended too quickly...so we gave hugs and kisses until next time!

Today is gonna be Hot!!

Just spending some morning playtime in my room! Today it's supposed to get up to 80 degrees!! Daddy better remember to lather me up with sunscreen!
