Camping at Kelley's Island

We got back from our annual camping trip to Kelley's Island a couple of days ago. We had a blast! Rilee LOVED camping! She loved going to "the pool" (the beach), riding in Poppy's boat, walking around town, and just hanging out with all of her favorite people at the camper!

Although it is hard to tell, we all have our Kelley's Island t-shirts on in this picture. We were trying to get the backs of our shirts, but obviously were unsuccessful!

The last time I posted I said that Rilee was potty training. Well, she is completely potty trained. She even sleeps in big girl undies at night!!! She was almost too easy to train! I guess that's the benefit of waiting until we knew she was really ready!

Summer Fun

It has been a long time since I last posted. Both our laptop and desktop computers were down for several weeks! Since I last posted Rilee has been a very busy little girl! You will see pictures of Rilee's first baseball game, washing the car with Dada, and playing with her friend Shane!

Rilee was also the flower girl in Aunt Ashlee and Uncle Bill's wedding. Mommy never thought she would walk down the aisle by herself, but she proved everyone wrong and RAN down the aisle with a big smile on her face! These are pictures from rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and the wedding. These are just pictures I took. When the professional pictures are done I will be sure to post some of those as well!

Since the wedding we have enjoyed having DaDa home and we have gone to the zoo, watched fireworks at BoBo and Poppy's house, and done A LOT of swimming in our pool.

Rilee is turning into such a big girl. We started potty training her a week ago and she is doing an EXCELLENT job! She also went and saw her first movie in a movie theater and sat through the whole thing! Rilee LOVES to swim in our pool, so Mommy and DaDa took a chance and bought her floatees for her arms. She put them on yesterday and took off swimming around the pool. Dada and Mommy can't believe how big she is getting and how independent she is becoming!

2 Year Pictures!

Rilee's two year pictures are posted! You can check them out at www.whitedaisy.zenfolio.com Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, look for her picture and the title R.

Busy Girl

Rilee has been a very busy girl the past couple of weeks. Here are some pictures to show all that she has been doing! The first three pictures are from when Mommy, Grambo, and Aunt Ash took Rilee to the zoo! She loved riding the carousel! The next few pictures are from Rilee's last birthday party at Great Grandma's! We didn't just celebrate Rilee's birthday but Uncle Bill, Aunt Ashlee, Craig, and Eric's too. Finally, Rilee and Daddy built her big girl bed! Rilee has now slept in her new bed 2 times. The first night, it didn't go very well, but last night she slept soundly ALL night!!!!

Rilee's Birthday

Rilee has already had 2 birthday celebrations and still has one more to go. I thought I would go ahead and post pictures from the first two parties. Rilee's 2nd birthday was May 4th. We had BoBo, Poppy, Great Grandma, Aunt Ash, and Uncle Bill over for dinner on May 3rd. We had dinner, cookies, and opened presents. For both of Rilee's first 2 parties we chose to do a theme of her favorite movie characters. We decorated with Minnie, Mickey, Tangled, Princess and the Frog, Toy Story, and Spongebob. Rilee got some new outfits, a toy dog, and a singing tea set.

Mommy and Dada both took Rilee's birthday off and celebrated with putting sand in the sandbox. Rilee LOVED playing in the sand and helping Dada build sand castles.

Finally, last weekend we had Dada's family over for a cook out to celebrate Rilee's birthday. We enjoyed the beautiful weather and good company! Rilee got 2 tents, a bag chair, 2 babies, and an outfit. Rilee was a little intimidated by the older kids, but enjoyed showing her new swing set to Shane and Som (both boys are about Rilee's age).
