Easter 2011

Easter was really busy this year! The girls went to 6 Easter Egg hunts! One with Rylynne's class, the Church, Strong Rock, Our Neighbors, my family, & Shawna's family! By the last one Rylynne was an expert! haha

Shawna and I also decided to dye eggs with the girls one night. That was interesting and more stressful than I imagined. Sydney kept trying to get the dye and she took a bite out of one of the eggs and Rylynne kept squeezing the eggs too hard while trying to decorate. Let's just say we ended up with all but maybe 2 being cracked. But they had fun!

Easter Sunday we gave the girls their Easter Baskets then headed off the church to celebrate the real meaning of Easter. After church we enjoyed lunch at my parents house and an egg hunt. We then went to Shawna's family Easter gathering for the girls to hunt with their "cousins."


Here are a some of the photos taken over our Easter weekend!

Enjoying the Sunshine

One of Rylynne's favorite things right now is going to the park! We go several times a week and sometimes pack a lunch for a picnic! She is not scared of anything. She loves to go on the highest slide!

Little Sydney...now 7 Months!

Sydney is now 7 months old! This is probably my favorite baby age. She smiles all the time, laughs, reaches for everything, grabs my face to kiss me, squeals alot, loves sitting up and playing, and has 2 little teeth that shine when she smiles! She went to the doctor this week and is now 20lbs!

We are trying to not get too excited, but we are now at almost 3 weeks getting her off Nutramagin and onto a Soy Formula! Today is her first day completely on Soy! Why is this too good to be true? Well 12.6oz of Nutramagin costs $23. That last about 3 days 25.7oz of the Soy is $22 and it will last about a week! She seems to be doing great so far! Hopefully we are on the downhill side now of her stomach issues!

Rylynne 2 Years Old & Sydney 7 Months Old

Watching Rylynne Grow

I can't believe Rylynne is 2! She is turning into a little girl now. She has started loosing that "baby look." She is very independent, loves music, wants to stay outside all day, isn't too big on getting dirty, likes to laugh and make us laugh, and is always on the go!

We are finally starting to understand her language, haha. It's amazing the progress she has made just in the last few weeks as she has started putting words together. She LOVES to help! I try to find little things she can do and she just loves it.

She went for her 2 year check-up this week. She is now 33lbs which puts her in the 97% for her age, but she is in the 98% for her height. She just big for her age all the way around.

Here is a look back over the past 2 years....
