I was looking back at old post. Here is a picture of Rylie in the exersaucer. This is from last December. This is about the same age as Reagan is in here picture. I am just not sure if the look as much alike as everyone says - maybe it was all the hair Rylie had. Maybe it is just me!!


Rylie's Picture: (3 months old)


Reagan' Picture:(4 months old)

Here is Rylie playing with Reagan in another crazy hair style. She is not still enough for me to get them even, so I stopped trying. We have fun with it.


We made our 1st, and I am sure not last, trip to the ER yesterday. Rylie & Reagan caught a stomach bug at the end of last week, and it hit Rylie pretty hard. She got a little low on fluids and we had to take her in for IV fluids. Everyone is fine and hopefully we are almost to the end. Both of their spirits were a lot better today.

Here is a picture of them playing today. Rylie loves for Reagan to sit beside her in the chair.

She doesn't want to take the hospital gown off. I guess she really likes it. She is wanting to outside and play and doesn't understand why she can't.

Here is Reagan in the exersaucer. She really likes it. She can only spin one way. She just goes round & round.

Rylie didn't like missing the picture so she had to get in the middle of the action. She likes to play with the toys while Reagan is in and Reagan loves to watch her-when she isn't looking at the camera flash!!

We were going to go Wed and get pictures taken of the girls. When every the both get over this bug we will go and I will post the link to view their pictures.

Rylie is in a toddler bed now. Here is a picture when we were putting her new bedding on. She was so proud of her new "big bed". That is what she trys to say. She likes being able to crawl in when it is time to go to bed.

Rylie likes to take care of her babies and animals. She went and collected the stuffed animals to feed and then set-up show and made them a meal!! It was really cute. She did all of this with no help.

Here is Reagan. She spits up soooo much!!! She always smells like spit-up too. Here is a picture of her right after her bath, she doesn't even have a diaper on yet. Look - there is spit-up in the pictures!!!! She always has a rash on her neck as well. We can't keep her neck dry with all the spit up and her double chin rubs and gives her a little rash. It looks painful, but it doesn't seem to bother her. It just takes a couple a days with meds to clear up.

Here is Rylie with some crazy hair. She loves to have me fix her hair, but she isn't still long enough for me to really fix it. She is posing for the camera.

Quick Update

I know it has been a long time since we have posted, so here is a quick update on our family. Hopefully I will have a chance to post new pictures next week.

Rylie is almost 18 months and is doing great. Monday we took her pacifer away. Actually, we made her throw it away. So far she has done good. Tonight before bed was the first time she has asked for it. She cried for a little over an hour and is now sound asleep. She is doing really good so far and will hopefully keep it up. Believe it or not she is already asking about going potty. I wasn't going to even try and potty train her until she could say the word potty, and she learned how last week. We have bought her a little potty but haven't started working on it yet. I am not planning on pushing the issue, but will let her use it right now as she is interested. So far we have done a lot of sitting, but no potty. She is loving playing though. We have also moved her into a toddler bed. She loves it!!! She is likes being able to climb up and put herself to bed. She has only fallen out once in the two weeks she has had it.

Now for Reagan. She is 4 months old and is getting so big!!! For the first few months she wasn't putting on much weight and they were watching her. They figured out she was allergic to diary. They had me move her to soy formula and she sprouted over night. In a weeks time she moved from 0-3 being big all the way into 3-6 fitting really good!!! She loves to play. She can reach up grab toys that are hanging above her. She can roll from her tummy to back and loves being on the floor. That is pretty much all she does.

Mike and I have been really busy. We started a new company in January that I primary run. It is a window fashions company. I have been selling custom window treatments and so far it has been really busy. This weekend we have our third home show of the year. They are long weekends, but they have been getting us good business. With this business and the other company Mike mainly runs PLUS two young kids, we are running all the time. We are both adjusting and finding a good routine. For more info on the new company, check out our website:

Bethany (my sister) watches the kids 3 days a week for me and that has been great. I love dropping them off where they love to be. Rylie looks forward to going over and playing with her cousin Caden. He will be 3 in June. They manage to get into a lot of trouble together. Bethany has nicknamed them the sheriff & deputy!! Caden is teaching Rylie a lot of things - mostly good:)

Sorry for the long post. Hopefully this has gotten you caught up on our family. I will try and post pictures next week.
