Like I shared in Rylie’s 7 month update, she is VERY vocal about her desire to eat the food that is on our plate – especially at dinner. We had an idea one night and it has become a new favorite. CHEERIOS! It’s become a big event! We get home, dish our own dinner, put […]

serve day 2017
On SATURDAY (7.15.17) our church had their annual SERVE Day. Outreach is not everyone’s spiritual gift (I can tell you right now, it’s not mine), but our pastor strongly encourages the congregation to participate one Saturday of the year and serve their community. It’s an effort that has motivated many people, and multiple churches across the country (+ other countries) participated with […]
july 4th, 2017
On TUESDAY, we celebrated THE 4TH OF JULY! It was Rylie’s very 1st 4th of July, so I continued my tradition of “taking themed photos every holiday” and took some photos of her in her sweet 4th of July outfit. That’s the biggest bow we own, & it’s the biggest bow we’ll ever own. 😂 […]

On SUNDAY (6.25.17), Aaron, Rylie and I were on our way to take Amberlyn to a week-long camp she was serving at. On our way, we stopped at a gas station and I saw a dog limp out of the bushes and lay down at an empty pump. I got out of the car and […]

LIKES :: playing with her toys talking (cooing, sighing, gasping, sticking her tongue out, saying “mama,” “dada,” and “nananana” and making a noise, etc.) making her duck / kissy face (<– which makes us giggle every time 😛 it’s just too cute!) bouncing her legs being in her jumper reaching for stuff DISLIKES :: when she tries […]
3 year anniversary
On WEDNESDAY (6.21.17) Aaron & I celebrated our 3 year anniversary. It was really simple – mostly because we had just gotten back from Seattle 2 days beforehand, but also because we had Rylie and couldn’t get a sitter on short notice. So we ordered Olive Garden To-Go and ate at home. The rest of […]

seattle trip 2017 overview
Looking back on our trip (2 1/2 weeks later), it’s so obvious that God’s hand was on it. It was the best trip we’ve had up to Seattle so far. We had great interaction with my family and with our friends! Posts about our trip: preparing for seattle Rylie’s 1st flight Michaela’s bachelorette party park […]
packing & flying out of seattle
We had plans to fly out on SUNDAY (6.18.17), but our flight was overbooked so we were not able to get on (luckily we knew before we left for the airport) so we spent the day hanging out with my mom & dad at their place. It was nice to have a chill day, I […]
