4 months

My sweet baby is now four months old. where as the time gone! she is so giggly and smiley its great! we experience our first thanksgiving as a family! rylee looked so cute in her little shirt and bow! she sat and watched us all eat lol and took a picture with the turkey neck lol. Rylee is about to start teething soon! last month she found her tongue and would start drooling a bit and suck on her hands a little. Now shes a drool machine and puts everything in her mouth! she is now interested in her toys and sucks on them and talks to them lol. she tries to sit up. she rolled over once right after she turned 3 months and hasnt done it since (she just gets stuck) We experienced her first cold. she was sneezing and coughing. she was all stuffed up. it was so hard seeing her like that. we sat in the bathroom every night in the stream to clear up her nose. i love my sweet pea!

RIP Joseph!

Growing up bryce and i were involved in pop warner! He played football with a family who lived down the street from us! We have grown up with their kids with school and sports. We rode the bus together, went to practice.. and spent almost every saturday together for almost 15 years. On saturday night we lost joseph. He was hit be some boys driving a U-haul truck. It was heartbreaking to wake up to the news sunday morning. He was a great kid. He was always so sweet and nice. He would ask how my parents were when he saw me, always gave me a hug. Always said hello. This year he welcomed his son into the world. I remember seeing him before the baby came, and he was telling me how excited he was. He also congratulated me with my pregnancy. Its sad to know he isnt here anymore. Its amazing seeing how the city is coming together for this family! They are a major part of the town and very well known family. RIP joseph. You will forever be missed and loved! I will forever pray for your son. He is loved by so many people.

My love!

I've gotta say. I have a keeper! I was reading another friends blog and he gives relationship advice.. It made me think, Michael an I are great for each other! (he's stuck with me now that we have a baby!) lol but we enjoy the same things. We both LOVE Disney movies! And love Harry potter, idk how many times webe stayed home all weekend and watched all the movies! I've fall in love with back to the future 1-3 (I think he fell in love me even more when I said I like the movies ;) ) we both love going to Disneyland! It was out go to date :)

We have our princess! And we love her to pieces! He's a great daddy! And excited to share my family with him!
