Party in Albuquerque!!

Because baby girls only turn one once... or in Rylie's case, three times :) Here is party #2 in Albuquerque!

Thanks to my dad and Jeanette, my sister and lovely Auntie Tracy, Sheena, Annie, and Aunt Sandy for making Rylie's bday in Albuquerque a great one! :)

Early Birthday Party!

This past weekend, we drove down to Las Cruces and had an early B-day celebration with our good friends down there, since most of them wouldn't be able to come up for her actual birthday. We had a blast, and Rylie sure did enjoy that cupcake! Pretty much everything else (the presents, singing, all the birthday stuff) she pretty much had no idea what was going on. For some reason, I couldn't catch a smile of hers on camera - but I promise she was having a great time! Only 2 more weeks until she turns one!

Thanks everyone for such a great day, we had so much fun and it was great seeing all of you! Miss you already!

Little less than a month...

Until Miss Rylie turns ONE! I cannot believe it, how has time possibly flown by so fast? It's just amazing, I'm still having to remind myself that as of June 5th we will have ourselves a little one year old. A seriously independent, sometimes stubborn, almost-walking (scary!), smiling, happy little one year old! This weekend we will be celebrating early with our good friends down in Las Cruces, our first time going back since the move in February. It should be tons of fun, and I'm sure everyone is going to freak out at how big Rylie has gotten - and how she has learned to do so many things since she left! And it should be pretty interesting making the six hour drive down, especially since she isn't THAT fond of her carseat these days... she wants to be out and about doing her own thing! We also had a great Mother's Day, my first "official" Mother's Day! I wish Chris could have joined us, but he was hard at work for us. My mom and Todd took us out for a nice lunch, and we took some great pictures.

Hard to believe it's been 11 months...

It's hard to believe she's almost a year already!
