Rylan FINALLY can fit into skirts. I have had this skirt since last summer (size 3-6 months). It's weird how clothes fit so differently. I thought it was so cute...but Daddy didn't like it at ALL.

Rylan's First Easter
Rylan opened her Easter Basket at home when she first woke up. She was so excited. She fell twice because she was trying to run to her basket. It was sad. Once she got to it, she laughed every time she opened and egg with a "little people" friend inside.
We went to church with Grammy, Pops & Uncle Jimmy. Rylan was really good in church. She danced to the music. Most of the time she walked up and down the pew between all of us. When everyone gets together, she can't decide who she wants to be with the most....so she has to go back and forth. I brought her little toy purse along and she had to show the people behind us how she puts on her lipstick. After church, we went over to Grammy & Pops' house. The Easter Bunny also made a stop over there and left a basket for all of us. Uncle Jimmy was sad that the Easter Bunny didn't give him any laundry detergent in his basket.
Grammy had stuffed bunnies everywhere in the house. Rylan would get so happy when she found one.
Duane put out eggs for Rylan to go find. She had a great time. When she would find the egg, Duane would tell her to put it in the basket. She would throw it real hard into the basket. Hilarious!
I remember doing eggs every year with my Grandma, GaGa. She would fix the dye in muffin cups. So I did the same thing. It made it perfect for her to be able to dip the egg.
Notice the other hand doing the egg...well, that's Duane. He is holding his egg with the special little tongs that come with the kit. It's very important that he did not get his hands dyed. HAHA!
Here are the eggs she did. She colored them all herself. I put on the stickers. I thought she did a great job for a 1 year old.....of course, they were all broken. Oh well, we never eat them anyway.
I had to take a picture of this figurine. Yes, it is two drunk Armadillos. If you take a close look, you will notice the man armadillo has a Lone Star beer. If I am lucky enough, maybe one day I will inherit this FINE piece of art. This was a price posession to my parents when we were growing up. It had a special place on the bar for everyone to view it in all of its glory. When we were kids, Jimmy and I were playing and broke it. We were so SCARED we would be in so much trouble for destroying this valuable piece of work. I told Jimmy to go get the water colors and elmers glue. I used all the skills I had to piece it back together. We didn't tell our parents until we were grown up what we had done. We found this charished beauty at Easter and it is still looking as FINE as ever....that Elmers glue did a great job.

Good Friday at the Zoo
We took Rylan to the zoo on Good Friday. She loved the little tiny animals the best and looking at all the other kids. She wanted to walk around like a big girl and look at everything. She had to break in her new baby Nike shoes.
These little guys were her favorite. She would squeal when they would run around.
She was very tired on the way home.
Here's the big girl walking with Daddy to go see some animals.

Rylan's Easter Bunny Visit
Rylan is brushing her teeth for her Easter Bunny Picture.
She had to play a little before she put on her pretty dress. "Aunt" Kellie, she loves her princess car.
Here is the little angel. I thought this picture was so funny because she was dropping her bunny just as I snapped the picture.
We practiced the night before wearing a headband. I would put it on her and clap when she kept it on. If she took it off, I would pretend to cry. Now, she likes to wear her headband.
All these big smiles and I'm thinking we are set for a great Easter Bunny picture. WRONG! She fell asleep in the car on the way. That always happens. She woke up once we got to the mall and was not herself. She did wave to the bunny while we were in line, but when she got on his lap, she just sat there. At least she didn't cry. Here is a quick video of us acting like nut jobs to make her smile.

Rylan loves Mommy's stuff
Yay! I have the phone! MMMM....who should I call? 
You're never gonna get it back. 
Now, I have your camera case. It's better than any toy you have ever bought me. 
She is practicing that she is "1". Tuesday, February 10, 2009
Grandparents
Grammy e-mailed me this little note. It's really cute.
WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT?
(Taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds)
Grandparents are a lady and a man who
have no little children of their own. They like other people's.
A grandfather is a man, & a grandmother is a lady!
Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come
to see them. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is
good if they drive us to the shops and give us money.
When they take us for walks, they slow down past things
like pretty leaves and caterpillars.
They show us and talk to us about the colors of the flowers and also
why we shouldn't step on 'cracks.'
They don't say, 'Hurry up.'
Usually grandmothers are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes.
They wear glasses and funny underwear.
They can take their teeth and gums out.
Grandparents don't have to be smart.
They have to answer questions like 'Why isn't God married?' and 'How
come dogs chase cats?'
When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't mind if
we ask for the same story over again.
Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't
have television because they are the only grownups who like to spend
time with us.
They know we should have snack time before bed time, and they say
prayers with us and kiss us even when we've acted bad.
Rylan loves her Grandparents and is really lucky to have two sets. We need some special prayers. Duane's Dad (PawPaw J.T.) is having surgery today for Bladder Cancer. My dad (Pops) has recently had surgery to remove Colon Cancer and he will be starting Chemo soon. Rylan loves her Grandpa's very much and we need them to be around for a LONG time.

Shopping Day
The maid came today, so we all decided to get out of the house so she could do "her thing". Duane never goes shopping with us so I think we wore him out. I am not sure if he can go anymore because some how we ended up spending $300 at Walmart and we still don't have anything to eat. Duane, however, has 3 boxes of apple oatmeal and every kind of Kiddie cereal that they sell. When we got home Rylan wanted to help me unload the groceries. It kept her entertained for a good 2 hours.
Don't worry the carton is empty.
Paper plates are Rylan's new favorite toy.
