Rylee Turns 1!!

It's been a party at our house all day long! Its Rylee's birthday, wahoo! I think Tylee was more anxious and excited for it then Ry. But I have to be honest I was excited and had a lot of fun making cupcakes, decorating and wrapping gifts! Tylee was my helper while Ry took a nap. (Ry takes the best naps! She will sleep for 2-3 hrs!) So we had to wait for Daddy to come home from work to officially start our party. Then we got both our laptops and skyped my parents and Corys parents. It was a lot of fun. Rylee loves Minnie Mouse so we did a Minnie theme! Turned out great. Cory ended up recording it so not to many pics, but a great movie :)  Enjoy what we have! 

Rylee Loved the decorations. She kept looking up at them and smiling! 

So I decided to try and make the minnie/mickey                 

     cupcakes. I saw them on Pinterest. I think they turned out pretty good!

                                                                 

We love this little girl soooo much! She is such a sweet girl, and so full of personality! 

We planned on going to this off road event Saturday but then had a little too much fun at the Carnival with the girls! :) So we ended up going Sunday(I know we are horrible lol) But we had a great time! The girls even loved it. We were covered in dirt by the end of the day, but had a blast! The stands were packed and we didnt want to mess with trying to find a spot and get the stoller up, so we ended up right next to the race. haha again lots of fun, but lots of dirt!

Well to start off I thought I would post a few pics of our most recent activity! Last night we went to a Halloween Carnival. Tylee loved it she played lots of games and won prizes, and she got to go on a pony ride(Highlight of the night) After we decided to go out to eat and if you know us you can guess where we went….yup Chilis. This is our family favorite, Tylee is always asking for Chilis chips and salsa. We went to a different one last night, it was in downtown Tempe (next to ASU) So it was a happening place. Tons of parties up and down the main road, so after we ate we decided to go for a walk and check out all the lights and action. The girls loved it, as we walked by one place a guy gave the girls glowsticks Rylee thought it was the best thing ever! After our adventures we headed home the girls were happy and exhausted, so was mom! 

Way too long

Rylee Update

Ok I finally got Tylee to bed and I didn't fall asleep with her so I will try to update a little! Rylee seems to be looking great according to the ultrasounds. The last one we had was Oct 6th.. She was 6lbs 6oz at the time! Very active and the nurse said she was "practice breathing" we saw her little lungs moving, the nurse said this was a great sign of them being developed and strong! I am ready to have her here for sure! But yet I am a little nervous too. Just with having to be in a hospital again and everything. I go see the OB on Tuesday, I was dilated 1 cm this last week, but I have been having contractions the last 2 days, nothing serious or really consistent, but quite a few. Then friday I go see a Pulmonary specialist, the OB wants to have some tests done to make sure there are no residual effects from the ARDS. He wants some assurance that I can handle the labor. I guess I should say we just got a new OB, the one I had seen before going to Utah was who we saw once I got back here also, but he just didn't give Cory or I the confidence we were looking for. He wanted to treat us like a regular pregnancy, and wouldn't even look over the medical information I brought back with me. So we were scared that if something did happen he would not be informed on the whole situation. Cory's work referred us to the Cleveland Clinic and to Dr. Saleh. Who is great! I have had such a peaceful feeling with him (Cory as well) He is experienced and a high risk preg doc. He sat with us and went over what I had gone through and he cared. He kept telling me how lucky I was to be here. He had had similar situations where the outcome was not as well. He feels like things will go great, that I am healthy and this should be a "boring" next few weeks, but at the same time he wants to make sure we are in the right place and have all the tools we may need if there are a few hiccups. So we will be going to a hospital that is a little further away but it will be worth it! Also he is requesting a neo natal specialist to be available when Rylee is born, so that she can have a full exam, and make sure she is ok. I just really like him, it makes the whole scarey situation not so bad! Anyways we have 2.5 weeks left and are so excited to meet our special little girl! She sure is a strong one and we are so grateful for that! I have a few pics from our 3d/4d ultrasound we did last month. Hope you enjoy!

Loves to jump!

Tylee turns 2!

Well I am sure there is a lot I need to put on here to update our crazy life, but I am going to start with Tylee's birthday. It was August 17th, and she had a blast! Cory and I did also lol. She loved the candles on her cake we lit them 4 times I think before she got tired of blowing them out, or maybe she just wanted the cake. She got a trampoline, some clothes, new books, and an alphabet chalkboard/dry erase board thing haha. She was in heaven! The trampoline was all she really wanted to play with, she is getting so big, and brave, she jumps "high" she says. and does "flips." Its so fun to watch her, and it keeps her entertained for quite a while! Tylee is amazing, she is so smart and learns so much each day, she is happy, loving and very active. It has been so fun these last few months watching her change, and grow so much. She now loves to cuddle, and give kisses. Which I love also, I have been so tired its nice to have just want to sit with me.She loves spending time with her daddy, she is always wanting to do whatever he is doing. She seems to be excited about baby Rylee. She is always kissing my tummy and wanting to feel Rylee move. We have been busy getting things ready for Rylee and Tylee seems to enjoy that also. She is such a big helper! She does miss her Grammy and Pa, and family from Utah. She asks me about them almost every day. I am impressed about how much she seems to remember. She always asks where they are and can tie something  to them. Like Aunt Stephy, she wants to go to her house all the time and see Tajeman and Bear. :) And of course Baby Taylor is with Uncle Mike. Sadee is with Grandma Mitchell, and Mille horse is with Pa and Grammy. Its so fun to listen to her talk. She gets her phone and usually calls Grammy, and asks what she is doing and goes on and on we love it! She has also learned mine and Cory's names. I am shocked at how well she says Kemish. I tell Cory she has to call me mom still but its cute when she picks up the phone to call "Kemish" she always looks over at me and gives the cutest smile. She is so full of personality, and attitude! Of course we wouldnt want it any other way!

We are going to Columbus this weekend for an ultrasound for Rylee, we want to make sure everything still seems great. So hopefully we will have some great pics to put up when we get back and can update on her!
