Daddy, Rylee and Uncle Jake

We had so much fun on our vacation to California to stay with Uncle Jake. The title is exactly what Rylee said to his uncle Jake one day in conversation-we about lost it. We traveled on a Wednesday and brought my mom, mind u she HATES flying-so sometimes I felt as if we were traveling with 2 toddlers instead of 1-however she did GREAT! Can't wait to go on vacation with her more often! Grandpa Mike flew in on Friday to stay for a long weekend with us as well-I don't think California is "the place" for Grandpa Mike, Rylee did have a great time with his grandpa on vacation though!

We stayed in Santa Monica for a few days, lots of fun days at the beach and did a lot of walking around (Rlyees Nammy did so well) : ) We were able to see a big huge crab in Malibu that a man had just caught-which Rylee happens to be OBSESSED with crabs right now, so that was pretty cool. We hit up the Dodgers/Tigers game at Dodgers stadium, Tigers lost-that was a bummer-but fun to be cheerin' our Tigers on all the way in California!

We were also able to stay a couple nights with Lisa, Shands and Zaela-and goodness gracious-if Rylee and Zaela were not SOOOOO excited-they even had to peek on eachother while the other was sleeping when we got in that night! Such a fun trip, and a great place to visit-even though we wish Uncle Jake would be back home, atleast he lives in a cool place to visit-

Mother's Day 2010

The crazy thing is, I was just going back through the blog and was looking at a pic from Mother's Day last year-SERIOUSLY....where does time go?! Sounds cliche I know, but seriously, this past year FLEW! Every single day I thank God for our life with Rylee Bona-especially after I had spent 9 days in the hospital with this silly gallbladder issue, if you don't have your health-you dont have anything....we need to all be thankful for our health!!!
Rylee is growing up by the day! Lil' man is smart, active and can't wait to find out who his baby sister is going to be! : ) We've been waiting almost 2 months for a referral, but really we sometimes forget that we're even waiting right now, things are MUCH different with one arleady at home-not in a bad way, our minds are just consumed with a lot more! But nonetheless we CAN'T wait to find out "who" our baby girl is!!!! Here's some pics for ya'll to enjoy!!!
