My Baby Is One Tomorrow...And lots of other things...Beware, Lots Of Pictures

This is right after we brought Rylee home from the hospital...

A Year later...






















Visiting with our cousins...Karissa, Abby, Zachary, and Cadenne.












A day at the park...













We have had the busiest summer this year. We went on trips, waterworks, losts of days with friends, activities, vbs, swimming, camping, movies and the list goes on and on and on.
Just this week, we visited my neices and nephew from L.A., which was a ton of fun. The five year olds, Emily and Abby, never left each others sides. We also got to meet our new littlest cousin, Cadenne, whom we hadn't met yet so that was fun. Then Sunday we went to a swim birthday party for Tricia and completely wore out my girls. Ally fell asleep on the way to get Rylee, slept through that, the car wash, and into bed, where we let her sleep with her clothes on. Then Monday, we met Tricia, Weston, and Wyatt at the park and then went to Target to shop. Yes, we took five children to Target, but it was a lot of fun. Then yesterday, we met Vicki and her grandaughter, Emily, at Waterworks right when they opened at 10. Rylee, Ally and I left at 12 for lunch and naps. But the Emily's wanted to stay so Vicki kept them there until 3:30. Emily also took a big step, she went down the raging river, a fast tube ride, for the first time. She went with me the first time in the 2 person tube Vicki bought and let us borrow. Then she traded that in for a 3 person tube so they could all go. They spent a good portion of the day doing that. Then, by the end of the day, she went down in her own tube all by herself! When they left, vicki treated them to lunch and playtime at her house. We picked her up after dinner, and she was exhausted. Then today we ran errands and met Leslie at Walmart to buy some stuff for the church nursery. So overall, it's been a very fun, busy, tiring week! Only 11 days until school! YIPEE!
And lastly, bitersweetly, my littlest turns one tomorrow. Sad and exciting at the same time. I guess if you can't stop them from growing, you might as well enjoy each stage. So I hope you enjoy some cute pictures of our big one year old!

I can't believe it's been a year, it went by so fast. Love the pix of the kids too, the one of all the cousins was a crack-up, so many funny expressions.
