Rylan Piper is 3!

What a year it has been. I can't believe my sweet baby girl who I used to hold in my hands is now so big and grown up.
This year Rylan has learned how to be a great Big Sister, learned to use the potty, gone to school, visited the princesses, and developed more into the girl God created her to be. We are so blessed by you Ry!





We started the day with her favorite breakfast: pancakes and strabies at Bread Winners. They brought her out a birthday cupcake. She was loving it.



We decided to go to the zoo. Aunt Amanda talked us into riding the DART. Boy was it an adventure.







We had a "Bibbity Bobbity Botique" Birthday Party. Ry loved it, she keeps saying, "can we do it again?"



The girls danced around for ever. There was pink & purple tool flying.







Rosco even made an apperance at the party. Ry thought she met a movie star she was so excited.

More of Disney

The double stroller was a hit (thanks GDaddy) Fyn took a snoozer in the park.



We had a fun group, Lou Lou, Aunt Amanda, B & I and the girls. Aunt Piper came and ran the Princess half marathon too.



We had lunch with the princesses in the castle. Ry loved meeting everyone.











Ry went to the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique and LOVED getting all dressed up.





Our favorite ride was between Dumbo and the Magic Carpet Ride. Ry loved the spitting camel on the carpet ride.





Ry was so so so excited to meet Woody & Buzz. She actually was jumping in place after she hugged them. It was well worth the hour wait.



We finished off our trip to Disney eating breakfast at Chef Mickeys.

So anyone who went into my room growing up knew that I had a poster size print of this picture with me & Pinocchio. I know it brings great laughter to see that my mother instead of buying me longer pants would just buy me socks that matched my oh so short pants.



Now I have a picture of MY daughter and Pinocchio... CRAZY!

Oh how we love Fridays...

We LOVE Fridays. Fridays mean, DADDY is HOME! One of our favorite Friday activities is to picnic at the Arboretum. Here are some pics from our recent trip.



I can't get over how big she looks in this picture

It's been too long AGAIN!

Ok so I love checking my friends blogs but I NEVER update mine. I'm going to get better at it because the Lord really is doing amazing things that I'd love to share.

Here is what we have been doing over the past few months.

We spent Thanksgiving in CA with Brian's brother. They have girls right around Ry & Fyn's age so it was super fun.

 

Rylan did great with Santa this year. No tears from either girl. Ry asked Santa for Toy Story stuff.

 

After visiting Santa we decided to do a little shoe shopping. Rylan LOVED trying on all the high heels and walking around. I serioulsy don't know how she was able to stand up. I think this girl might have a love for shoes in her future.

 


We went to Houston to celebrate Christmas with my family. Here is Rylan & her G-Daddy. Please be praying for healing for him. He has cancer in his tummy.

 

I really think Fynley might have a career in dentistry ahead of her. She loves putting her hands in mouths.

 

Rylan loved decorating & EATING Christmas cookies. We watched Elmo's Christmas Countdown many times through the holidays and her favorite line was, "I've got a gingerbread man in my ear"

 

Santa along with Aunt Amanda and the CA Lonergans brought her what she wanted for Christmas... TOY STORY. The girl is so funny. She will watch the train scene in Toy Story 3 and have all her dolls out and as they come on the screen she will grab them and act out what they are doing. It is too cute how excited she gets.
