We've been having lots of fun this summer. Cody's been in summer school so we haven't seen much of him but Rilyn and I have been keeping busy and on the weekends we try to do fun things. Here are some of the fun things we've done:
we went to the lake (yes Rilyn is eating a chip while swimming - I took it away when it got wet)
we went to the zoo on Friday night for starry safari and Rilyn competed in her first rodeo (ok so its on a stick horse but she beat the other one year old in the competition)

Rilyn's Birthday Party
My baby turned 1! I can't believe it. I wish she could have stayed a baby forever. Now I feel like I have a little teenager (cause shes super independent and can cop quite the 'tude). On her real birthday she got to open presents from Mom and Dad and Grandma and Grandpa. 
She got a tickle me Elmo, which is very scary to her so we might have to put him away for another year or so, a soccer ball, which she hasn't stopped kicking since she got it, 
and a princess chair that she sits in all day every day. Grandma and Grandpa got her a little kid swing set which she loves to play on! 
Shes in the back yard going up and down the slide for hours its so cute to watch. 
Rilyn's birthday party was this weekend and we had so much fun! It was a cowgirl party and Rilyn's grandma got her this cute dress that says cowgirl with a matching belt with the big belt buckle. She even had a hat that she refused to wear. The only thing we couldn't find in her size were boots, she has the tiniest feet so its hard to find stuff like that for kids that can walk. All of the kids got cowboy hats and bandannas and goodie bags full of farm animal toys and candy shaped like boots and hats. 
This was Rilyn's special cake that I made for her. I don't get this girl at all, most kids love to get dirty, not Ri, she wouldn't touch the cake except to take out the candle. Goofy Kid! 
While we sang Happy Birthday Rilyn played shy and wouldn't look at anyone and 
then after when everyone started clapping and taking pictures she started posing. What a nut! Then after cake we started the "camp fire" and roasted marshmallows and made s'mores while sitting on hay bales. Poor Rilyn was so tired that she fell asleep before we could open presents so she got to have at them the next morning. 
Rilyn got totally spoiled by everyone! Look at all of those presents! I can't believe it! Boy did she get a TON of cute clothes and toys. What a lucky girl! Thanks to everyone who came and made her first birthday extra special.
