It's amazing how time flies. Rylee is now 4 months old and is doing so many fun things. She is rolling over OFFICIALLY, and has recently started to laugh. Yesterday, Shea made her laugh really hard. It was the cutest thing in the world, and I wasn't able to catch it on camera! Dang! Today, she was able to do it again and I caught just a little bit of her adorable laugh. Rylee is at the 50 percentile in her weight and height exactly. She is a little smile bug and is a drooling machine. Shea and I are starting to call her Slimmer because she slims everything! We are so glad she is in our little family and we love her!

Rylee's Baby Blessing
Rylee was finally blessed on January 3rd by Wayne. We are so happy that Wayne was able to do such a special thing. He has really changed his life around and we are all really proud of him. Rylee did really well. I was worried about her screaming because she isn't a newborn anymore! She was awake the whole time and didn't make a sound. She is such a precious little angel, and we love her.

Christmas
We had a nice quite Christmas this year. I am not in the mood to type so this is mostly pictures. I'm sure no one minds. Here is Rylee just chillaksin. She is such a content baby when she isn't sleepy, hungry, poopy or gasy!

It is tradition for us to open PJ's on Christmas Eve. Here is Shea showing off her new PJ's. Thanks Grandma Zollinger.

Both my girls! 
Shea got a guitar for Christmas. She is singing the "Deck the Halls", but to her it is the Jelly song.
Rylee rockin the bow that Aunt Mandie made for her.
Christmas dinner.
Our newest addition to the family. Santa brought us a Golden Retriever puppy. I heard he might be bringing us a puppy and I was really excited. What was I thinking. It really is a PUPPY, now I never sleep.
We hope everyone else had a GREAT Christmas.

We named him Mack. Here he is greeting Shea. Teby still isn't so sure about him. If anyone has any advice for me about puppy's, please give it to me. The best way to potty train, teaching him not to chew on things...Anything!
We hope everyone else had a GREAT Christmas.Friday, December 18, 2009
December
Thanksgiving this year was just the 4 of us. My parents were suppose to come up but cancelled at the last minute. This was going to be my first year making the entire thanksgiving dinner. The only thing I was worried about was getting all the nasty stuff out of the turkey. Wayne and I decided that would be a perfect job for Shea. So a day before Thanksgiving we started getting her really excited about helping mom with an important job for Thanksgiving. When it came time to start the turkey. She got up on the counter really excited, but still not knowing what her important job was to be. I got my camera ready and started to tell her to "Stick your hand in that hole and pull out the little bag." I took this picture. Then she said - "Are you kidding me, I am NOT doing that!"
It was a nice try on my part though. I ended up doing it with no problem. I guess that is only because I used some tongs! On Black Friday, Wayne and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. It has flown right by. We decided it was a perfect time to go and cut down our Christmas Tree. We had a lot of fun!
Wayne has a friend that is the Sears Manager over in Jackson. He sold us a shed for only $50! So Wayne put up his very first shed all by himself. A bunch of curse words later, it is all up and he will never put up another one again! ha ha. I am really proud of him. Once he got going it only took him 2 days to do it. And I will mention again, it was all by himself!
Here is Rylee again. I love this picture! She really can't move any part of her body, and she is loving it!
Shea is such a character. She has such a personality! She is almost 4 years old and knows how to spell her name. She also almost knows how to write her name, we are still working on that. She hopefully will be starting preschool in the summer. My visiting teacher is starting a preschool and Shea is already signed up! That is one problem about this Valley is that all the preschools are Daycare and I don't like that. Shea's new favorite thing is The Nightmare Before Christmas. She watches it when she wakes up and when she goes to bed. She has all the songs memorized and sings them all the time. I will have to post a video of her singing one of the songs. It is really amazing! FYI: She has already blamed the dog for opening a present under the Christmas Tree. Such a sneak!
The Children's Christmas party at Wayne's work was last week. We had a lot of fun.
Story time 
They had a blow up bouncing cage that Shea was on for 30 good minutes. She got really hot so we had to go outside to cool off.
Decorating cookies.
Story and movie time.

Rylee is almost 3 months old. She has already rolled over 7 times, but it is still a work in progress. I love seeing her interact with her toys. She has grown so much and it has only been 3 months! She is such a little stinker and makes us smile everyday. (She is also a mama's girl!)

Santa Clause came to the party. On the way over to the party, I asked Shea what she was going to ask Santa for Christmas. She said "Small toys, big toys, all sorts of Toy." I love this age, they are happy with anything.

2 months old!
I can't believe that my little Rylee is already 2 months old. We had her check up on Monday and she is almost 11 lbs. and 22 inches long. I can't believe how fast time flies by and the fact that she still has hair. My child has hair! Shocking.
On the Zollinger side of the family, all of the brothers scrunch up there mouth randomly just as naturally as breathing. My dad especially. Rylee seems to be giving it a try.
My cute stinker baby!
My sister Brooke came up a couple weeks ago to visit and see our house. Rylee seems to love Aunt Brooke just as much as Shea does.
Teby is definitely been taken over by Shea. He is her dog now. They are constantly running around having fun. But Shea always has time to help mom with diapers or Binky duty. She is such a big help and such a GREAT BIG SISTER!
Here is the next small project that Wayne has done to the house. He put some wood in the window seals. (Just in the living room. I said it was a small job.) Something so simple changed the feel of the room. I wish they were all that simple.

We're Back!
I am back to work which means back to the Internet! It has been way too long. I love looking at every one's blogs so that I know how everyone is. I makes me feel like I am involved in all of your lives! ha ha. A lot has happened the past couple weeks. Rylee is 7 weeks old and still has hair! She is growing like a weed, put still is the tinest little thing. Shea is having a ball, and loves being a big sister. We recently bought a house and have been slowly moving in. (The cheapest house in the valley! ha ha.) We closed on October 30th, the day before Halloween. It went very fast, and I am still a little shocked that we have a house. Wayne literally did everything in the process! My parents came up from Utah last weekend to help us move. They also finally brought us my dog Teby. My sister and I always knew that secretly my dad loved him. He finally admitted it! He has already called us to see how the dog is doing, and it hasn't even been a week. Well, dad, Teby it doing great. He loves being out of the city. And he already has a friend, Rocky. The dog is doing great! ha ha.
Still has hair!
Teby's friend Rocky.
The house is almost put together. Our first project was painting the kitchen cabinets white. I didn't take a before picture, but the cabinets were nasty. They reminded me of cabinets you would find in a RV. Old and Cheap. I think it looks a lot better. Next thing is to paint the walls so that EVERYTHING isn't white! The house is on an acre so we have a great view of the Tetons and the Bighole's.
View from the front.
View from the back! Halloween this year was a little different. Instead of driving over to Jackson, we decided to suck it up and go trunk'r'treating. That is what they do out here in the country. Everyone parks in the church parking lot and hands out candy from the trunk of their car. I always thought that sounded stupid, boy was I wrong. This weather was crappy, and it was cold. It took us 30 minutes to go to everyone of the cars and it was over. You get a lot of candy in a short amount of time, which is nice when it's snowing. These two little puppies really enjoyed themselves!
