Rylee Jane ~ 11 Months

 

Rylee does not snuggle or sit still very often but the other night she was tired out from a hard day of playing at daycare so she was relaxing on the couch.  She cracks me up!  It is hard to believe that she is 11 months old already.

Time is so precious and goes by so quickly.  Loving every minute watching my girls grow!

Ice Fishing

 

Grandpa Kurt decided he needed a new hobby so last winter he started building an Ice House.

He has been logging quite a few hours on the lake this winter.

On Saturday Grandpa and Grandma brought the Ice House to Waseca. 

Dad and Grandpa Kurt got it all set up and Grandma Sherry, Mom, Reese and Rylee headed out after nap time.

Grandpa Kurt knows the way to Reese's heart.  He brought cookies to bake in oven.  We watched some TV too.  Now that is my kind of Ice Fishing!  They didn't catch much though.

 

One of the HUGE fish that they caught!  Ha ha

 

 

We had a lot of fun doing something new and spending time together!

Thanks again for coming to visit Grandma and Grandpa.

Rylee Walking!

 

 

 

Last Wednesday (2/13/2013) Reese and I went to pick up Rylee from the Infant room at daycare.

Rylee was in the middle of the room and took off walkikng towards us but really Reese. 

Reese was bent down on her knees with her arms out.  Rylee walked at least 10 steps to Reese.

They gave each other a big hug and fell over.  It was the cutest thing in the world and melted this moms heart to pieces.

She is walking more and more each day but will still drop down to crawl to get somewhere quick or when she is tired.

That night we were able to catch a few of her steps on camera!

Hooked on Books

 

Auntie Nici helped organize a wonderful event for her work:

More Fishing

 

After the event we went to Hallie's house for lunch and the girls got to play a bit.

They are getting so old.  They were in Hallie's room the entire time with the door closed while playing so the younger kids could not get in....oh boy, it has started already!

Reese...busy as can be!

Believe it or not this is Reese with her make up on. 

Look out we may have a make up artist on the horizon.

Snowmobile Racing ~ Uncle Derek

 

Uncle Derek was all set to race snowmobile at Canterbury Park

We went to show our support.  Unfortunately, Derek's sled was not cooperating

so he was not able to race.  It was fun to watch the races from indoors.

Reese had fun seeing everyone and played with Grandma Sherry & Mackenzie.
