Powell Trip 2011

So we just got back from our annual Powell trip! I was so very excited to go out this year and not be 7 mos. pregnant......and it was Oh so Nice! We decided to not take little Miss Ryan this year and it was really nice to have a break but way too long to be gone from my little babies. I missed her terribly. so for now 2 nights is officially too long to be gone from her. I even went out a day later so as to not make it 3 nights and it still was just too long. But she had fun with Grandma Leslie and was very happy to see us when we came back! The Lake was pretty crowded and pretty hot out! but it was oh so gorgeous out there! I always forget how much I love it out there until I find myself there again. This year went pretty well considering something usually goes wrong just about everytime we go out to Powell! My brother finally came out this year and he brought his girlfriend Stephanie - who was a first timer - and by the end of the trip I think she got what all of the hype was about ;) It was also mine & Mateo's 4 year anniversary while we were out there and definitely not the most romantic day (with all the sand, bugs and spiders...) but a great day nonetheless! I love him and can't believe it's already been 4 years! This Friday we are going to celebrate with dinner at Anasazi Steakhouse and The Little Mermaid at Tuacahn :)

Summer So Far...

So I'm clearly not very good at keeping this blog updated anymore...I find it hard to find time to do much of anything when you have a 10 month old little monkey who likes to climb on everything :) We have not done anything too exciting yet this summer but it's been fun! We love summertime!!! Here are a few pics of our summer so far...

Ryan in the Spring!

updated pictures of Ryan just taken over the last few days...She is 7 months old and just growing up way to freaking fast for me...I love her in her new shades!

Ryan's First Tooth

Finally her first tooth has arrived :) I'm relieved...she has been "teething" for like months now with nothing to show for it and Grandma spotted her first tooth on Sunday Night! My baby girl is growing up :) so bittersweet

Our New House

So we just bought a new house in Overlook in Green Valley :) It's a brand new house - nobody has ever lived in it :) its sooo much nicer and newer and bigger than our little townhome. Mateo says we were having a fisher price house before and now we are graduating up :) We have been moving for the past week and are just about there...I hope to never have to move again for a looooong time!!!

Ryan's 6 month Check Up

Ryan just turned 6 months old!!! I just can't believe how fast it goes by :) I took her in for her 6 month check up yesterday and all is well with her. She weighs about 17.8 lbs and is 85th percentile for her weight and she is 97th percentile for her height! I kinda figured she was tall for her age and I guessed right! Even though both me and Mateo aren't tall at all we both have tall family members...so it'll be interesting to see how that all plays out.
Its now time to start feeding her the solid foods...She hasn't tried much normal food yet but she has had a taste of chocolate from her dad and she seemed to really like that (uh-oh) and Aunt Keilee likes to give her licorice to lick on...
Wondering if I should make my own baby food or what to do?? I'm interested to see what she is gonna like

What's New...

Sorry I haven't posted anything in like forever......We've just been working away and taking care of lil' baby Ryan...she is growing soooo fast I just can't even believe it! She is 5 1/2 months old already :) where did the time go. Here is the newest picture of her! I'll try to be better about posting this year! We are in the process of buying a new home out in Green Valley and are so excited to have a nice & new home! We have outgrown this boat for sure...
