Cheese!!!

I finally got Rylee's 2 year pictures. We had this wonderful man who we call Uncle Bob meet us in Smithfield Park and take Ry's pictures. He was so cute with her and we actually got some smiles and definitely more pictures then I have of her in a very long time. Here are just a few of the cute ones I wanted to share.

Growing a Farm Girl

Rylee has been scared of the tractor but Justin was determined to get her on it and finally he succeeded. I don't think she liked it a ton but she was a good sport.

a boy with a new toy

We are digging our septic system so Justin gets to use our neighbors tractor. It is so funny to see him get to use it because he reminds me of a little boy when he gets a new toy to play with.

Rylee's 2nd Birthday

We had a fun day yesterday. Rylee turned two and she was determined that is was not her birthday but Colton's (he had a birthday a few days ago). But by the end of the day she wanted it to be her birthday so she could get all the presents.

We are so glad to have Rylee in our lives. She means so much to us and brings so much joy and laughter into our lives. She is the cutest girl and so much fun to have around. You never know what she is going to come up with. She always has to say hi and loves to smile at people even if she is scared to death of them. I can tell already she is going to be a hard worker because she has to follow me around and clean-up (she loves to say clean-up the whole time she is doing it) and she also loves to help do the dishes. She has a contages smile, I can be so mad at her and as soon as she turns and gives you one of those smiles you just can't stay mad. Well, we love her and can't wait to have many more years of birthdays with her.

Rylee didn't want her picture taken at the begining of the day.

She is on the Dora 4-wheeler that Nana and Pop gave her. Thanks Nana and Pop!

She got a baby doll and she is always loving it.

This is her carefully opening a present. She wouldn't just rip into it.

She got a few clothes.

The Birthday Girl with her balloons, bean-bag and stroller.

Rylee won't eat cake so we got her a stack of donuts instead and then we lit the candles on top and she got scared and wouldn't blow them out so mommy had to do it for her.

This is her starting to eat her donut then she decided it was time to play with the toys again so she didn't eat much.

It was the end of the night and she was relaxing in her bean-bag.

The house is getting there

We are getting closer, this is what it looks like right now.

The roof is suppost to go on it this week an the siding in a few more weeks.

Here is Ry and Justin at the house, she likes to pick up things.

It was a really pretty sunset so I had to take a picture of it while I was taking pictures of the house.

We just started the electrical work on our house this last weekend. We ended up having great help. My family and Justin's family came to the rescue. We are so greatful that they came. Thanks everyone for the help.
