yea for long weekends!

Friday John got off work early and we headed down to my Grandparents. He should have gotten off earlier traffic was terrible it took us three hours to get there usually its only a hour and a half drive. We were happy when we finally arrived, my sister (Mary) and her husband(Mitch) arrived later with their two kids(Ella and Connor). Katie and Ella

Saturday morning John and Mitch went across the street to my Great Aunt Elaine and Uncle Kirk's to lay sod and plant grass seed with their granddaughters husband. The rest of the day was spent having fun and resting at my Grandparents. Katie enjoyed getting to know her Grandparents, every morning she would give them big smiles.Connor in his batman pj's pushing a baby doll in a stroller.Mary holding Katie while Mitch is working in the background

Katies first 6 months

Katie is Six monthes old!

I can hardly believe our little lady Katie is six months old. All the things she can do now amaze me. Six months ago she was sleeping all most the time and could have cared less about her toys. Now she's awake a lot more and loves to play with her toys and is ready for some new ones. Her little body is so strong she can roll all over and sit on her own. She loves to talk and blab and hear the sounds she can make. Everyday I look at Katie and feel so grateful for such a beautiful baby.

Mothers Day

Katie reminded me over and over Saturday night I was a mom neither of us got much sleep making for a tired Mothers day. Sunday afternoon she got really upset but after an afternoon nap she was a bit happier. We aren't sure if the crankiness is from her digestive system, teething, or something else. When I get ready for bed Katie likes to be near by so John brought her in the bathroom last night and by the time I was done washing my face this is what Katie had done.If you look at the bottom of the picture the toilet paper was piled a good eight inches at least. Oh the things this mom has yet to look forward to, and things this little girl has yet to get into.

Back In The Day & Today

In honor of mothers day here is a picture of me not to long after I found out I was expecting. I was feeling much more pregnant than I looked. We were camping and hiking in Zions for a few days.

Today we went to Layton to visit John's grandma Twila. Katie and I played on a blanket and she sat up all by herself for the first time. Isn't she cute! I can hardly believe how big she is getting.

Cinco De Mayo!

Here is Katie in her little Mexican outfit. Yup she's 1/4 Mexican and rather cute if I say so my self.

Baby Asher is here!

Asher Raeder Rynearson was born last week and is cute as can be. We are so glad he is finally here and that we know it's a boy. Skip and Rachel are so happy to have him here too. It was so cute to see Skip hold his new little baby. Katie was happy to see her new friend he seems so little. It's hard to remember Katie being so small but I know she was.
