Discovery of Funny Faces

Rylee is crawling like a champ and pulling up everywhere. One of her favorite places is outside, but since it is too cold, she spends alot of time at the backdoor licking the window and smushing her face against the glass.

Biker Babe

Steven has a great motorcycle, and we USED to get to ride.....now it just sits in the garage.

Papa's girl

I think my dad may have a little cowgirl on his hands.

Happy Birthday Lauren, Cole and Cade!

cole turned 3 in September, Lauren 8 in October and Cade 2 in Dec. We were busy busy with birthday parties. Rylee started crawling the end of September, so she was busy trying to keep up with the big kids.

Front row seats

Midland hosts a huge airshow. The airplanes would take off and land at a small airfield close to our house. Rylee and i sat in the backyard and watched as the planes went over.

Our Little Stinker

Rylee was a skunk for halloween, which is very appropriate for our 'lil stinker!

Boat Ride

Rylee loved the boat ride although she was not crazy about the lifejacket. However, the jacket did not hinder her from a long nap on the ride.

Possum Kingdom

Rylee's first time to the lake cabin. She was very entertained watching Emma and Evan jump off the dock. She was not so sure about the water herself though. Next summer will be very different i am sure, trying to keep up with the cousins!

A visit to Graham

Big cousins Emma and Evan think their new cousin is pretty special. I think Grandma and Granddad Ranger think she is a keeper too!

Who knew Cereal was SOOO messy!

First meal of cereal! ha That was an interesting time.

3 months old

3 months old. My how time flies. She is rolling over on her own. My what joy a child can add to your life! It is hard to remember life 'before Rylee'.
