Cousin Fun at Disneyland

While we were in California, we spent a day at Disneyland with some of Brandon's cousins. Rylie had a blast  as usual and loved being with the girls, Audra and Amanda.

Seeing the parade coming always gets her pretty excited!

Our little Minnie Mouse. :)

Waving to the princesses.

Wedding Day Fun!

Rylie was asked to be a flower girl in Brandon's brother, Brian and his fiance, Sheila's, wedding. We headed out to California for all of the fun and festivities. First of all, the wedding was held at a beautiful winery in Temecula. The grounds were spectacular! The weather was a little warm just during the ceremony, but as soon as the sun started to go down, it was perfect. Rylie did fantastic! I was a little nervous, for obvious reasons (I mean, let's be honest, she is 2!) but she walked right down the aisle and stood up front like a little champ. Besides one moment of looking of me and asking for a drink right in the middle of the ceremony, I don't think she could have done any better...and she looked pretty cute too!

Sorry, there is a lot of pictures ahead! This is the adorable little outfit the bride got for her flower girls...Rylie loved the tutu!

Seeing herself in her pretty dress for the first time.

Kisses for the groom.

Coloring before walking down the aisle...had to keep them entertained somehow!

Checking out the action during the ceremony.

Rylie's favorite part of weddings, the dancing!

She was a little tired by the end of the night and pretty content to sit next to Uncle Jim and watch Go Diego Go on Daddy's iPad. :)

Pumpkin Carving

We headed over to Jim and Kathy Martin's house (Brandon's cousins) for a fall party and to carve pumpkins. Rylie actually didn't mind digging her hands in the guts of the pumpkin this year, though her attention span with the actual carving was pretty short. Luckily, she has a great Daddy who carved the rest of the pumpkin for her. :)

Checking out the design for her pumpkin. :)

I thought this was so cute...her Halloween costume came in the mail so we tried it on...and she didn't want to take it off! Needless to say, she is very excited to be Belle this year! :)

Roller Skating

My mom is a preschool teacher at Chandler Christian School and the other night they had a roller skating party. We decided to take Rylie to see how she would do. We borrowed a pair of little adjustable roller skates and she loved it! We only made it twice around and then she was more interested in the games. :)

Visit to the Aquarium

Mimi came into town one weekend, so one afternoon we headed to AZ Mills Mall to take Rylie to the aquarium and to take her to eat at the Rainforest Cafe. She loves the aquarium (though she flies through it in like 30 minutes now) and she really enjoyed eating at Rainforest Cafe. She thought it was pretty cool that she was eating her dinner next to some elephants and a monkey hanging from the ceiling. :)

AWANA Time!

Rylie started AWANA! She is in the 2 year old group and it's called "Puggles". My mom and I do a Bible study every Wednesday night and Rylie goes to Puggles. So far, she seems to have a lot of fun!
