Park




It was such a gorgeous day yesterday, we took a walk to the park. We loaded up Rylan's stroller with snacks and drinks then headed to the park. We have a really great trail right behind our house and it leads directly to the park. Rylan went down all the slides including the tallest one there. Then we ran a little ways on the trail. When we got home, Rylan was out for a really long nap.

Rainforest Cafe




After going to the Gaylord, we decided to go eat dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. Rylan enjoyed looking at the animals especially when they went crazy. We sat by the gorillas, which she named one Daddy, Mommy and Rylan. We also saw Nemo in the fish tank.

Gaylord Texan in Grapevine









Last night Ryan, Rylan, and I went to the Gaylord in Grapevine. The hotel was decked out for Christmas. First we went through ICE! It wasn't as cold as I thought it was going to be, I guess I prepared myself well for it. Plus they gave us big coats on top of the coats we brought. It was so cool, everything was made out of ice. Rylan went down the ice slide. She couldn't get going on her bottom so she decided to go down head first. After ICE we walked around the hotel. We got to see and get a picture with Santa in his workshop. We saw Mrs. Claus with the reindeer. We got to pet the reindeer. Rylan wasn't satisfied with just petting, she wanted to feed them. They also took our picture there. Then we saw a huge Christmas tree, some trains, and a gingerbread house. It was really pretty! We all enjoyed it and it put us in the Christmas mood.

Thanksgiving in Athens






We celebrated Thanksgiving early with my Nana in Athens. We went down there on Sunday to enjoy Thanksgiving with my family and watch the football game. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. We ate a lot, played, took a nap, ate some more and played some more. We also helped Nana put up her Christmas tree. What enjoyable day!

Happy Birthday Aunt Lesli


We went to dinner and celebrate Aunt Lesli's birthday Saturday night. That was the first time that ALL (Grammy, Grampy, Brent, Lesli, Luke, Logan, Ryan, Me, and Rylan) of us have been together in a long time. It was so much fun!

Aunt Jen's B-Day




We celebrated Aunt Jen's birthday a couple of weeks ago! Happy Birthday Aunt Jen!

Trick or Treat






Happy Halloween! We went across the street to Kathy's house for Halloween. We hot dogs, chili, tons of snacks, and lots of candy to hand out. We sat in the front drive and passed out candy. The kids got treat bags from Grammy and Grampy. Then we went around the block to go trick or treating. Grammy, Grampy, Uncle Brent, Aunt Lesli, Luke and Logan came over to join in the fun. Rylan dressed up as Abby, Luke was a race car driver and Logan was Diego. They had a great time going door to door saying trick or treat!
