My little Tom Girl!!

Well I should have known that it would turn out this way!!! I was a tom girl myself!

It is probably a little to early to be calling Rylen a Tom Girl, she is only almost 15 months but i'm pretty sure all the signs are there.

1. She loves to play outside. She would stay out there all day if you could let her.

2. Dirt is now one of her favorite toys!!!

3. She isn't interested in baby dolls. She has a lamb that she sleeps with and a few teddy bears and dogs that she carries around.

4. She loves all animals as well!!! She even got to see her first baby goat yesterday!!

Last Sunday we played outside all day!! It was so so pretty! Cooper and I made a quick trip to Lubbock Saturday and picked up a seat for the back of one of our bikes. I was really wanting to put it on the back of Coopers bike but he talked me into just trying it out.

Our first take off was a fail but I caught us before we bit the dirt!!! Scared the poop out of me!! I'm going to just blame our little fall on the earthquake that happened just as we took off!! HA!

We finally got the hang of it and she LOVED the ride!!! I'm trying to make it part of our evening routine!! Rylen has fun riding and Momma gets a little work out!!! What could be better!

Later that evening we played in the backyard a bit and cooked out on the grill!! I just love this time of year!! (as long as it doesnt get to hot). As most of you know Cooper does construction, door work, and welding! He works from home in a shop out behind the house!! Sometimes around his shop can start looking like a pipe yard!! I went inside to get the steaks and squash ready for the grill and Rylen and Cooper stayed outside to play. About 5 minutes later I hear them knocking on the back door. I put down my stuff to see what is going on and this is what i find.....

Rylen had found a really big piece of pipe to play with!!!

I think she thought it was just a big piece of playground equipment!! And where was Pops you ask????????? Oh he was there looking on making sure she was safe!!!!

She is very proud of herself!!!!! But when we had to wash it off she wasn't very thrilled!!

Fast & Furious!!

So I found a quick minute to sit and blog! I sure have missed updating my blog with funny Rylen stories, and I hope I was missed! Our little family has been very very very busy!!! I love staying busy and sometimes I find myself taking on entirely to much but I enjoy it!! What I don't enjoy is when my house gets to be a mess because there is no time for cleaning!

So here is a small update on what has been going on in our world!!! Miss Rylen is walking all over the place!!! She loves to be outside and we have purchased quite a few toys for her to play with outside!! Every evening after supper we take a wagon ride through the neighborhood and she claps and giggles the whole time!! I'm totally diggin this nicer weather!! Me and Cooper got our bicycles ready and i'm looking for a wagon that I can pull behind mine for Rylen to sit in. I think she will love that!! This morning Rylen did not want me to feed her yogurt she wanted to feed herself.....so i let her........ It was messy but I didn't mind!! Her favorite foods these days are kiwi's and strawberries wich I am totally ok with!! I love fruits and veggies and I want Rylen to be the same!!

Jim Bob, Magan and Stash welcomed a new baby girl to the family!! Scout Linger Thomas born March 3rd at 1:36 weighing 6lbs 14 ounces and 19 3/4 inches long, the exact same as her cousin Rylen!!! I was so happy to get to be there with Magan and the family to welcome Miss Scout into this world!! She is a beautiful baby girl and I am one proud Aunty!!! haha!!

Work has been crazy busy for me!! I find myself not even knowing wich direction i'm going in sometimes!!! But I LOVE my job and wouldn't have it any other way!!! Summer is fastly aproaching and that means lots and lots of activities at the Library!!

I have taken on another project for the Summer!! It is something I have put quite a bit of thought into and then an aquatence of mine kind of helped me make up my mind! I will blog about it later when all of the kinx are worked out!!

Cooper has been busy with work and I know that makes him very very happy!! The ending of last year got a little slow for him!!

I am going to try and be better about blogging here lately but if there were only 25 hours in a day it would be easier!!!

Here are a few pics of baby girl!!

She has a little trouble with that first step out the door!

Playing in her new playhouse!!

Our first sucker experience! I was nervous about the mess but it wasn't to bad!! She loved it!!

Sucker in one hand, phone in the other!!! Such a multitasker!!!

YUMMO!!!!!!
