Seven Years!

WOW I can not believe we have been married seven years! I also can not believe how much our lives have changed; especially in the last year. I would never have guessed how blessed we have been.

Here are some memories:

 The engagement pictures. Doesn't Jordon look thrilled.

And the honeymoon...

First trip to McLean

 We spent the 4th thru the weekend in McLean with Grammy and Papa. This was Rylan's first trip to McLean. He had a bath the night before. I have not taken any pictures since he has started using his little bath tub. He enjoys a bath but hates that mom puts lotion on him after it.

 

Rylan sure gets tired at the grandparents house. He was very relaxed in this picture.

We cooked steaks out for Nikki's birthday. The boys (and dogs) enjoyed sitting outside with the fire going. The steaks sure took a long time to get ready!

Aunt Nikki fed Rylan his dinner while we waited for steaks.

 

 Abby loves Grammy's waterfall and pond in the backyard. She sits in it majority of the day and gets everyone wet when they come outside to play.

Aunt Gina came over to visit too.

And that wore Rylan out again.

Even Abby got to play with her cousins. Ziggy stayed the weekend.

 Abby loves Grammy's playhouse. She did not have any of the older grandkids to play with her this time so she would go up the rock wall by herself.

Rylan enjoyed swinging. He would fall asleep every time we went out there.

 Ms. D came by to visit also. Rylan was very popular on this trip. He also got to go to the feed store and bank.

 More naps...

Hanging out with Papa

4 months and beyond

Rylan has really grown and matured since his four month checkup. He is really acting like a four month old baby. It is so amazing to watch him and all the new things he is learning. He is more like a four month old than his adjusted age of two months. 

Rylan's favorite activity lately is play with his stuffed animals. He can really focus on them and is starting to grab. He also has discovered his voice and is constantly making noises. There is not a sweeter sound that I can think of; of course anytime I try to video the sounds, he just stares at the camera. 

Rylan's hair is so long on top! He has started to lose a little on the sides but that top part just keeps growing.

Rylan and Jordon enjoying a good nap.

So close to rolling over...

 

Rylan is trying to roll over. I thought I would try to catch him on video but he got distracted by sucking on his hand. I am not sure what we were watching in the background. Sounds like a movie.

 

Rylan likes to sleep on his side now that he knows he can move around. 

 

 Abby got a bath the other day. She loves to run around after her bath. She really likes to run over to me and shake. I ran back in the house this time.

The best part of my day! 

In the summer, I get to come home at 4pm instead of 5pm so there is time for a quick afternoon nap with Rylan.

 He was being a little grumpy the other day. Jordon sent me this picture. 

 This is how Rylan naps with Dad.

Such a cutie!

A couple of weeks ago we had one of the famous Lubbock haboobs. Jordon went outside to take some pictures as it moved in towards our house.
