November....

The month of November has flown by! Here are a few photos from this month minus Thanksgiving and the Baby Dedication. I will get those posted soon!




Well, I started decorating the Christmas tree. I am still not done, and I have a feeling once I get done that is about all the Christmas decorating I will do this year! Within the first few hours of the tree being up we had a broken ornament and a few that were MIA. I found one in Rylynne's room, another in the bathroom......at least she is having fun! The bottom half of the tree has been declared Rylynne's half!




Sydney sitting her Bumbo for the first time!

Rylynne had to try it out too....on top of the table!
Aunt Leah and Uncle Tyler made it down from NY to meet Sydney for the first time!!!





LeighAnn and I took the girls and Sean Paul to Noah's Ark for a Picnic and a stroll to see all the animals. They had a great time! Rylynne and Sean Paul are in the Mom's Day Out Program and Sunday School together.

Santa & The Pink Pig....

Yes, I know.....it's not even Thanksgiving yet! But, we learned last year that if you go before Thanksgiving there is no line!!! This works out great with the girls being so young. We were the only ones on the Pink Pig, and we walked right up to Santa with absolutely no wait! Another positive about going early, you can do extra pictures you wouldn't get to do if it was crowded. Like a photo in front of the Pink Pig train!

Sydney: Loved Santa. She could really care less and did cooperate for a cute picture. Santa actually held her for a little bit talking about how cute she was. He said he would enjoy holding her this year, next year she will probably not even look at him! haha She was ok with the Pink Pig too. She was not allowed to sit in my lap and had to sit in the seat beside me. That was interesting considering she doesn't sit up yet, but I was determined for her to ride for her First Christmas.

Rylynne: Did not like Santa. Would not even consider smiling for a picture. She did finally give him five. He tried to convince her to just stand beside him, but she was holding on tight to Shawna. We were not about to force her. She did agree to sit in Shawna's lap beside Santa. So we have a family Santa photo this year! The Pink Pig: I had that feeling that this would not be the year for Rylynne & Santa. I told Shawna her excitement would be the Pink Pig. I was right, she was so excited when she saw it! BUT, when we got on and started moving...things changed! She started crying! We couldn't believe it. Then Shawna and I started making "choo-choo" noises (she LOVES trains!). When we started doing that, she got a big smile on her face. She decided it was fun after all! haha I guess you just never know with her age now.






























Bath Time & Bubbles!

Aunt Jen Jen (AKA Jennifer Foster) stopped by the other night just in time to help give Rylynne a bath! Rylynne is all into bubbles now! They had a great time!

Sydney has started enjoying her baths a little more now. She has started kicking alittle in the water.

2 Months Old! (& little more)

Sydney is now 2 months old!!! She is really smiling alot and starting to "talk." She is now over 12lbs! She has really started filling out!
Rylynne is now 19 months! She has started repeating and saying real words we can understand from time to time. Something funny she did the other day: She brought me a cup of water. I looked at the cup confused for a minute trying to figure out how she fixed a cup of water.....and then it hit me! Yes, she got it fresh out of the toilet! haha

Halloween Events 2010

Halloween 2010! The girls were dressed as cute little rabbits! I couldn't believe that Rylynne actually wore her ears! Sydney was adorable and had everyone stopping to see her. On Halloween we went to our church for "Trunk or Treat." The grandparents, Uncle Brian, and Oma came by to see the girls dressed up.

Mama and I also took them to my cousin's church last Wednesday night for their Trunk or Treat. So Rylynne has gotten plenty of candy!
