Christmas

Wow December has flown by. Christmas was good. Ridlee had a lot of fun opening presents. She would start to unwrap a gift and yell "oh my goodness...a box!" We has to prompt to her to open the box to see what was inside. She loved Santa and anytime she say a picture of Santa she would get excited. When she heard jingle bells she would yell Santa. She loved singing christmas songs. It was really cute. Her are some pictures.

Say Cheese!

5 Months Pregnant



Taking Tinkerbell to the bathroom.

Everytime we asked Ridlee what the baby was going to be she would say a girl. And say she wanted a sister. Well that is what she is getting.

Florida - November 09

Ridlee did so good flying. We rode on a total of 6 plans to get there and back. It took 14 hours of travel in one day to get to Orlando. While we were there we went to Coco Beach, which Ridlee was afraid of the water and sand for the first hour and she cried. Then she played in the sand til she was covered from head to toe. Then we went to Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Ridlee rode the rides and loved them. She loved to see the characters. She kept saying she wanted to kiss them. She kept asking to see the princess. She got most excited when she met Daisy Duck. The whole trip she was obsessed with Micky Mouse. It was really cute.

October 09

Ridlee turned 2 this month. They grow up so fast. We had a party for her and then went to blast off. For Halloween we went to Boo at the Zoo. She didn't get to go trick-or-treating because we flew out to Florida on Halloween day.

Priceless

Ridlee says the funniest things. The best one today was when she brought me an oven mit and said "mommy put this on, I want to cook a cow."

Ridlee started asking to sit on the potty 3 weeks ago and when I sat her on she actually went so then I decided it was time to potty train her. To say she LOVES potty candy is an understatement. She has stayed dry in panties for half the day.


Ridlee multi-tasking. She was on two very important phone calls.

Coming March 30th!!!

Random Summer Pictures

I was looking through some pictures and realized I never posted them. Ridlee loves playing in turtle pool. She loves to take rides on the 4-wheeler and will tell dad "I do it. I drive" One going on 16 already. She did fall asleep on a 4-wheeler trip one day. She drooled all over Travis's arm. She loves to wear my shoes. It doesn't matter if they are high heels. She will still war them. She is very independent and likes to get her own drink of water out of the fridge (scary!).

New York - DC Trip

We flew to NYC last Sunday then on Tues night we flew to Baltimore, Maryland in the smallest commercial airplane possible. This thing was unreal. I was panicked we were going to die. The plane was so loud and I was sitting next to the prop. My dear husband Travis leans over and says "well if the prop flies off it will kill you instantly." Thanks hunny for the reassurance. I took a picture of the plane when we got off. It has only 8 rows of seats.

So I found some more pictures of Ridlee that really made me laugh. When we were swimming at the hotel she wanted to be like mommy and daddy so she decided to lay out and get a tan.

Utah trips

So in June we took 2 trips to Utah. W took Ridlee to the Hogle Zoo. She enjoyed seeing animals that she knew like: bear, dog, cat, bird, etc. She wasn't very interested in the elephants, giraffes and so on. She did like the Zebra though. We also had the Terry family reunion and took Ridlee swimming (which she is not a big fan of). She also likes to tantrum now. Ya, it's pretty awesome. We were staying at the Hyatt in South Jordan and in the elevator with 7 strangers she threw herself on the ground, screamed and kicked her feet. The whole elevator was laughing. Then when we put her in the swimming pool she screamed and voiced some complaints, which had the other guests at the pool laughing also. One good thing is that Ridlee talks alot. When went to dinner with friends. Ridlee kept saying "I want sit by baby". That was the only time she has lasted at a restaurant more than 15 minutes without being a pain.

"Go Ridlee, go Ridlee, go..."

She will dance and sing "go Ridlee" It's pretty cute. Here is a preview of it.

Memorial Weekend

We went camping again. This time we went with 5 other families. Ridlee had fun playing with the camp chairs. I swear that is what she did most of the day.
Siting in the back of the truck

Riding the 4-wheeler with dad

The boys loved on her all weekend smothering her with kisses and pinching her cheeks

This is what sunblock will do in your hair

Our camper, 4-wheelers and trucks. And yes I towed up the 4-wheelers.

Riding with Grandpa

We had to go through lots of deep mud to get home

Oops, is that a combination of bubbles and mud? Yes, yes it is.

We went camping this last weekend. Ridlee had a blast. She loved to run around, eat rocks, climb in and out of camp chairs and explore.
She brushed her teeth for 20 minutes.

Having fun with Ashley.

She gave the bear in Jackson high 5.


We went to Boise for Easter. Ridlee did good at the egg hunt. She picked up 4 eggs then said she was done. She just wanted to eat all the candy. She was terrified of the Easter Bunny.
