How Is It Possible?

How is it possible that Ryland just keeps becoming more amazing?! I'm not sure I'll ever understand. All I know is that my life could not be more full of love, laughter, and silliness! Ryland is now becoming quite the question asker. "momma, where are we going?", "dada, what are we doing?"...Earlier today, I was just looking back at some old pictures trying to remember what it was like before she could talk, and I couldn't. She talks so much these days, I'm not sure I even get a chance to hear myself think. Good thing is, everything she says is amazing, hilarious or adorable (even the little tantrums she throws every now and then).

Waterfront

Tonight after work, Ryland, Champ and I took a little walk on the waterfront. Ryland loves it down there because she gets to see so much fun stuff. We saw sailboats, speedboats, and even a couple barges...and Ryland was very fond of all :) But I think she was most fond of the hamburger we bought her at Mcmenamins...when we were driving home she exclaimed "dada, I really liked my dinner!".

Clark County Fair

On friday night we took Ryland to meet some friends at the Clark County Fair. We took Ryland last year, but she was a little young, so we weren't too sure what she thought of it. Now, with her ever increasing vocabulary, I can assure you she had a blast. Her favorite things, in no particular order, are as follows...
1. Horses
2. Watching the piglets eat
3. Demolition Derby (yep, Ryland wanted to see what those loud noises were)
4. Ducks/bunnies/chickens
5. Getting to hold hands with her friend Sophia and act silly
6. Sitting and playing on tractors, with Champ of course :)
7. Cuddling and laying her head on mama's shoulder on the way out to the car

She definitely played hard! On the way home, she was requesting Disney songs, and fell asleep. Made me excited for a future Disneyland trip...I can just picture carrying my happy, tired princess out of the park. Oh the many more memories we are going to make :)

A Little Story

The other day Ryland and Champ were busy in the kitchen making a lunch of beans, cheese, yogurt, veggies and corn chips. After Champ got done listing off all the ingredients in their meal, Ryland said "and avocado?". And sadly, for Ryland, Champ said "no we don't have any avocado left". However, this news didn't seem to upset Ryland at all, as she knew just how to fix this problem. Ryland looked up at Champ and voiced her great plan by saying...

"let's roll for avocado!".

So now when your off to the store and you have your shopping list...don't forget the avocado, as you never know when you might need some :)

We're going to Kentucky!

The other day I caught Ryland playing with her toys. Apparently this little girl is excited about our trip to Kentucky this September :) I would have to say that one of Ryland's favorite activities is playing pretend with her toys. I always catch her having full conversations with her toys. We have been working on giving her lots of positive playtime around the idea of flying on a plane, so hopefully her first flying experience will be a good one!
