TRICK OR TREAT! Rylee loved that all she had to say was please and people would drop her candy! she told everyone thank you all excited. It was so much fun!

Well theres all our October/halloween pictures. i went a little crazy with the camera once i got ry in her costume! we had so much fun today. we went to the elementary parade in manti to watch my niece and nephew walk in it, and rylee ended up holding my nieces hand and walking in the whole parade with her. she had a blast! then we went to my parents ward trunk or treat and she had a blast there too of course. Derek had to work tonight but we made sure to go and see him in his awesome Luigi costume. FUN FUN FUN!

a few of Rylee's oh Shoots

Well its been a nice couple of weeks finally without the puking! YAY no more morning sickness! its so nice to wake up and be able to function like an almost normal human being. But even though theres no more morning sickness...theres terrible twos to go around. Rylees keeping me busy as usual, and i'm hearing her say "oh MAN, and oh SHOOT" quite a lot through each day. She's so expressive and is developing quite the vocabulary. I just got back from a busy weekend doing hair in CO. Rylee had fun with Grandma and Papa Miller, and we got to see Dereks brother and his wife Ashley for the first time sense Christmas. It was a fun weekend. Other then that, Dereks still trucking away to school and work on his awesome bike, doing really good in his classes, and me I'm just looking forward to Nov 10 when we get to find out what we're having! CANT WAIT!

Eye liner anyone?

hmmm...what could i do with this doll and the toilet...

oh man she's all wet with toilet paper in her hair...oh shoot!

I decided to take a few pictures of rylee at 18 months. I just had to put her on the couch with a black sheet and throw in finding nemo, and she was good to gO!

LOVING THIS TIME OF YEAR!

JUST HAVING FUN AT GRANDMAS HOUSE!

THE TINY PUMPKIN RYLEE'S CLAIMED

RYLEES NEW MASTERED FEET!

MAN WAS SHE PROUD OF HERSELF!

JUST TALKING WITH GRANDMA!

TODAY AS I PULLED UP TO MY PARENTS TO DO YET ANOTHER LOAD OF DREADED LAUNDRY, I SAW THE FAMILIAR SIGHT OF MY MOM WORKING IN HER FLOWER GARDENS. MY MOM HAS ALWAYS TAKEN SUCH PRIDE IN HER AMAZING TALENT OF MAKING HER SURROUNDINGS BEAUTIFUL. ITS ALWAYS BEEN SUCH A SAD TIME OF YEAR TO WATCH HER FLOWER MASTERPIECES DIE AWAY TO THE WINTER. BUT FOR SOME REASON WHEN I CAME TODAY IT WAS MORE COMFORTING THAN SAD TO SEE HER IN THE YARD PREPARING FOR WINTER. I'M SO THANKFUL SHE HAS THE HEALTH TO KEEP UP WITH SOMETHING SHE LOVES SO MUCH. THIS YEAR HAS BEEN SO DIFFERENT AND SAD FOR ME WATCHING HER DO ALL THE YARD WORK INSTEAD OF MY DAD. IT WAS THE KIND OF CHANGE I WISH I'D NEVER HAD TO SEE. I WISH FOREVER I COULD COME HOME TO BOTH OF THEM TENDING TO THE YARD BUT EVEN THOUGH THE SEASONS ARE CONSISTANT LIFE HAS TO CHANGE. IT JUST FELT GOOD TO SIT WITH HER IN THE COOL FALL AIR AND WATCH MY DAUGHTER FOLLOW HER EVERY MOVE. RYLEE ABSOULUTLY ADORES HER GRANDMA AND MY MOM MAKES SUCH AN EFFORT TO BE SO LOVING AND PATIENT WITH HER. I CANT WAIT FOR THE DAY WHEN RYLEE CAN COME HOME TO ME WORKING IN MY GARDEN WITH MY DIRTY CLOTHS AND WINDBLOWN HAIR! I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR AND I LOVE YOU MOM!

Find Joy in the Journey!

Today Derek and I were trying to watch a little of the morning confrence, between Rylee needing her butt changed and climbing all over us, this message jumped out at me. Find Joy in the Journey. President Monsons morning talk was such an inspiring one, and one that we could really relate to! Derek was actually in the middle of picking up rylees toys when we heard Monson say, (paraphased) those of you who are still raising small children will find times when tiny finger prints seem to find there way on every newly cleaned serface, toys will be scattered through your home and the piles of laundry will seem endless but those times will pass and you'll look back on them and miss them! He said Find Joy in the Journey a few times through the talk, and It just felt like he was talking right to us. I hope I can do better at finding Joy in the wonderful life i've been blessed with .I have an amazing husband beautiful daughter, and a healthy tiny baby cookin right now thats finally not making me so sick! I'm thankful I remembered to turn on confrence cause even though we didn't watch all of it, I was hit by a message I needed. Somedays do feel endless and my mom job never seems to lighten but man its a rewarding job better than any other! Anyway just thought I'd share my warm fuzzy feelings :) have a good day

Swim diaper helmets...what will she come up with next!

I'm Bi...POLAR ha amy you'll get it check out these first three pictures all taken within like 30 seconds of eachother!

Well as usual Rylee is keeping me busy as ever. Nobody warned me that morning sickness lasted all day or that the terrible twos start before your kid turns two. Man whoever thought up these names for things, sure gave a false impression! Anyway just thought i'd post some pictures of our everyday happenings. Rylees new fasination is drawing on herself her toys anything she can get a pen to work on. Of course tho after she's done drawing on herself she wants me to wash it off cause its "eew messy" is what she says. I also found her under our bed with this nice invention of a helmet! ha she's always making me laugh! Oh and we finally sold our car and Dereks riding around town on this oh so sexy bike! yes oh yes he installed this nice grandpa seat all himself after riding on a normal one just once he said his butt hurt too bad and he came home after work with this sexy seat! ha i gotta love the guy!

is this a stink face or what! ha i have no idea what she's doing it for!

check out that amazing art work! man my kid is talented!

Oh what you'll do for comfort! at least nobody will still the bike now!
