A Wedding and a Trip to St. George!

All of my siblings with the happy couple.
Me, McKenzie, Courtney, Allen, Josh, Casey, TJ (thanks Nichole I stole this off your blog)


Me with my cute sisters Courtney and McKenzie

Ryan and our hyperactive, yet adorable son Carter

The bride and groom outside the temple

My brother Casey and his wife Nichole (they were just married in May)

Carter drinking punch cause that's exactly what he needed-MORE SUGAR!

My mom, my aunt Pat, my dad, and our good family friend Diane outside the temple

Rylee before she messed up her hair and acquired a fruit punch mustache!



This picture pretty much sums Rylee up. McKenzie was so cute and nice to play with both the kids.


My sister-in-law Hanna on her birthday by the pool. You can't tell, but she just had an adorable baby on July 31st!

Carter "swimming" in the pool!

Having fun in the sun!!

Rylee's Big Day!!

So it finally happened RYLEE TURNED ONE (on August 30th)!!! What a year it has been! She has added a whole new dynamic to our household. We are so grateful for her and I don't know what we ever did without her as part of our family!!! Her and Carter are becoming good friends and he is such a good big brother! I wanted to have some kind of a big celebration for purely selfish reasons...two kids is HARD and I wanted to celebrate mine (and Ryan's) survival of the last year. The four of us went to the mall and out to lunch and then we had our friends the Wilson's and the Thomas' over for cake and ice cream. Unfortunately my family all live too far away to come and Ryan's family were at their cabin, so I thought I'd post some pictures so they can feel like they were there!

The birthday girl along with the big brother who kept asking when Rylee's birthday was going to be over so it can be his birthday!

Her cake and presents!

Blowing out the candles with a little help!

All messy! The funny this is, she didn't really eat any of the cake, she just spread it all over herself and was satisfied!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYLEE WE LOVE YOU!!
