Big girl bed!

We got Rylee a toddler bed off of Craigslist last week and decided to put it together last night.  To my surprise, Rylee loved it and wanted to sleep in it... ALL NIGHT!  I thought it would take some time to transition out of the crib, but maybe I was wrong!  She looks so precious sleeping with her baby (and pillow, and blankie, and stuffed animals) in her new big girl bed.  I'm so proud of her!

Another first.... we were at Alexis' 1st birthday pool party this weekend (our friend Tania's baby girl), and Rylee swam all by her self!!  She's been in the water a lot, but would never try to swim without us.  Saturday she got in the water in her life jacket, and pretty much took off!  By the end of the day she was swimming laps in the pool and wanted no help what-so-ever.  I couldn't believe it!  She is growing up WAY too fast.

Baby on the way!

Yes, it's true!  We are expecting our 2nd child!  I am 13 weeks pregnant and due February 26th.  We couldn't be happier!  I had my 1st ultrasound Friday and everything looks great.  The above pic is the baby's profile and below is the baby waving (so crazy to see the whole hand)! Rylee is excited too although I'm not quite sure she knows what it means.  When we ask where the baby is she points at her tummy!

Banks Lake 2011

We just got back from 6 sun and fun-filled days at our favorite place on earth... Banks Lake.  We had so much fun with tons of family and friends.  Lots of water, sand, fishing, holy balls, sand-castle and river building, swimming, and some amazing food. The water was down a lot this year so we found some awesome beaches (one of my favorites we named muscle beach). The time always goes by way too fast.  We will be counting down the days until Banks Lake 2012!

More kayaking

I forgot to post the pic of Lance and Rylee kayaking at the beach house.  It is the cutest thing and I had to share.  On another note, we are headed to Banks lake this week for our annual trip.  I'll be sure to post pics when we get back!
