Long Overdue (Read First)

So...we've had an abnormally busy few weeks! This is the first chance I've really had in a few weeks to update my blog. Here's the latest on us:We've been enjoying lots of nice weather lately, and Rylee loves to take advantage of the sun by blowing lots of bubbles.

She also got her second haircut a couple weeks ago...we're still working on getting the hair on top of her head to grow out to even up with the rest of her hair! It's coming along slowly, but surely. We went to Cookie Cutters again where she sat in the airplane chair, got to blow bubbles, watch Elmo, and then got a balloon and sucker afterwards. She talked about her "hair cut" for quite a while afterwards.

Now, for a potty update...Rylee's doing GREAT!!! Here's her first attempt at putting her panties on by her self (or as she says, "Rylee self!")
She got the pee thing down pretty quickly, but took slightly longer with the poop. So we bought her a doll as incentive and made a chart...she got a sticker each time she went number 2 on the toilet...

and after three stickers she got her doll!

I guess she decided to crown herself the potty princess...

We are currently in San Diego...Quinn's mom's family is having a reunion here starting tomorrow (we rented a condo on the beach, which is AMAZING!!!) We came down a little early, and Rylee kept her panties dry for the ENTIRE car ride from Utah to San Diego! What a big girl! I am so proud of her! This picture was taken at one of our potty stops on the drive. Her Grandma Mac (who flew out for her uncle's funeral and then drove back with the girls and I)bought her a Cinderella and Belle tattoo from a little quarter machine and we put it on her tummy.

(Speaking of Rylee's Grandma Mac, we taught Rylee to distinguish between her Grandma and Great-Grandma by saying "Grandma Mac" and "Grandma Clawson" since we have been around both of them a lot lately. It's pretty cute - she calls them "Mama" Mac or Clawson, as appropriate.)

Little Miss Cailyn Del continues to learn and grow. She started rolling from her back to her tummy about 2 weeks ago. Oh, and I think that she's double jointed! That girl has some serious flexibility in her shoulders!

She is getting pretty good at sitting up! She still topples now and then, but is getting better and better.

She discovered her tongue last Friday night and enjoys sticking it out. (She also discovered her toes right about the same time.)

Yesterday we went to Disneyland! It was Quinn's parents, our family, and Katie, Josh and Ava. Grandma and Grandpa Mac bought the cutest little dresses for Rylee and Ava - Rylee was Tinkerbell and Ava was Sleeping Beauty.

Here's Tinkerbell riding into the park on Daddy's shoulders.

The whole gang

In front of some beautiful flowers...this is one of my favorite parts of Disneyland! The flowers are so beautiful - I think they make it feel like you are in a story book.

OMG!!! ANNOYING!!! This blog site is having issues...for some reason it put the pictures that I uploaded into several different posts. I am too tired to mess with it, so I am just going to make a bunch of little posts right now that are really meant to be one big post...so here goes...
