Projects

Wayne and I have slowly started to paint the house. We have mainly only painted the kitchen, but it's a start. I have always wanted to have a deep dark rustic looking red in my house. This house it's the kitchen. It was a big shock at first, but I really like it. Next thing to do is decorate it! (Which is the hard part for me.)

Shea decided to dress Rylee in a summer hat before she got up for the day!

Cute sisters.

Last Monday it was 80 degrees in Idaho Falls, so we decided to head to the zoo! Here is Shea feeding the goats. (I'm trying to talk Wayne out of getting goats, but I think he is going to win.)

The two girls posing.

AH! The Lion has me!

Rylee has just started to pull herself up and stand! It is the weirdest thing in the world because she is still a tiny little thing!

Wayne and his burn pile! He started a neighborhood burn night. After Wayne started our pile, our next door neighbors decided to start one, and then the next neighbors started one! It was great, (and smoky)!

Just if you are wondering how Shea and Rylee play with each other.

New Things

Rylee has got it down! She is 7 months and crawling. I couldn't remember when Shea started crawling, so I got out her baby book and it said 7 1/2 to 8 months. So far, they are both on track with each other. For my sake, I am hoping Rylee doesn't walk as early as Shea did. That would be only 1 1/2 months away! Please Rylee, take your sweet time! ha ha.

We sure do love this little one! She loves to stick out her tongue and chew on things. (Including her tongue.) She is the happiest baby ever. Very content with everything, and loves to watch her big sister play.

I've got another baby in the family. Mack is growing up really fast as well, and he is a love bug. Which can be a bad thing because of how big he is!

Shea is learning new things everyday. She is so excited to start Preschool in September, and loves Primary. She loves singing, jumping, running, yelling, shouting, and playing with the dogs! ha ha. She also loves getting herself ready in the morning as you can see.

The other good news is that my little brother Chad got his mission call. He is going to Cuernavaca, Mexico. We are so excited and very proud of him. He is going to make a great missionary!

Catch up time!

It has been a long time since I last posted anything, so there are a lot of pictures! As the previous post mentioned, Waynes mom past away in March. We were able to make it down to California just in time. Thanks to Grandpa Myers for letting us crash at his house. Considering the circumstances we had a great trip. The cousins ran wild with each other the entire time. Here is Matthew and Rylee just chillin at Grandpas!

Becca and Shea at the Park.

Rylee at the park.

Also, while we were there Waynes Aunts threw a Easter Egg hunt for all the kids. It was so much fun. He really does have the best Aunts ever!

Rylee and Matthew again, playing with each other.

When we got back home it was back to reality. Which means work, work, and work. Here is Shea and Rylee at WORK. Rylee really does love her big sister!

For Easter, my mom and dad and my little sister Brooke came up from Utah.

We sure do love it when they are able to visit!

Shea had two Easter dresses this year. Here is one of them. I will also share that Shea loves Primary. She loves dressing up for church and was very excited to have 2 pretty dresses.

And here is the other. Sisters!

Rylee and her Easter dress. Rylee is 7 months old today. She is growing like a weed and is showing signs of crawling. She actually army crawls everywhere, but is trying to figure out the hand leg thing working together. ha ha. She is pretty cute! If I drop something on the floor and can't find it. All I need to do is put Rylee on the floor and she will find it in no time!

I looked out the window and noticed that Shea's big red ball was blowing away. So I quickly told her to run outside and put the ball away. When I looked out the window, this is what I saw!

Wayne has been super excited to start working in the yard. Since most of the snow has melted he has been hard at work outside. He even made a rake for our 4 wheeler at work. (We are too poor to buy a real pull along! ha ha.) I wish I would have taken a before picture, because it really looks a lot better than it did.

Teby likes to run with the 4 wheeler and he really gets warn out! PS - Mack gets tied in the front yard because he likes to run through the entire neighborhood looking for dogs to play with.

The only new thing with me is that I now have a calling in our ward. I was called as the Miamaids Advisor. I am super excited to be in Young Womens and so far am loving it. I taught my first lesson last Sunday and survived! ha ha.

We will miss you!

Our family was hit with the death of Wayne's mom Kathy on March 7th. She was a wonderful person, and I am so lucky to have met her. I am grateful for the wonderful man that she raised, and over this past week it is clear that it wasn't easy! She did a great job. She was the best GRANDMA in the whole wide world. She loved all her grandchildren very much. She had been struggling with her health for a long time, and not once did I hear her complain. She was also able to come up to Idaho and meet Rylee for the first time. We are so lucky to have had her with us for that week. We love you Kathy, and we will miss you!

Things have been pretty hectic for our little family this month, but we have found time to have some fun! Shea was eating and Rylee thought she would help!

What goof balls!

For my birthday, my mom gave me her 80's bread mixer. Here is my first attempt. They came out deformed, but still were nummy!

Rylee has found her toes.

Last Saturday, we decided to go sledding. PS, we will never take the dog again. I had to chase him through the woods when we were ready to leave!

Shea had a blast.

Rylee had fun even though she couldn't move!
