Good Things To Remember

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel!
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. You have to agree that you are 'less' and that someone else is 'more' to feel inferior. If you don't agree, you cannot possibly feel inferior. You might know something less, or you might be able to do something less, but you ARE unique and hence simply incomparable.... Do not buy into being reduced to an object of comparison."

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brillant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Happy Fathers Day

Happy First Fathers Day to the BEST DAD EVER!!

Kailee is very lucky to have Ryan as a dad! He loves his little girl soooo much and you can tell just by watching him with her. He always jumps at the chance to do anything for her. He was the first one to change her diaper, he taught ME how to bathe her, and he is always willing to wake up in the middle of the night to feed her and rock her back to sleep! Ryan is very protective of this little one and I know she will always be safe with him! He is already the best dad ever!

For Father's Day, Kailee and I made Ryan a Belgium Waffle with strawberries on top for breakfast and then we had a BBQ for dinner. Grandma Carla and I helped Kailee make a cement stone with her handprints and footprints for the garden...

This is how I usually find these two!

Kailee is 1 Month

Our little Kailee turned 1 month on June 13th... Wow how quickly time goes by.

Kailee has the biggest most beautiful eyes and she loves to look at the world around her. She moves her head side to side quickly and just stares and watches everything. She loves to cuddle with Ryan and falls asleep quickly when she is laying on his chest.

Kailee also has the most beautiful hair that looks blonde when she's inside and bright red when she's outside in the sunlight!

Happy Anniversary!

Friday June 5th was our 5 year Anniversary of our first date and Tuesday June 9th was our 2 year Wedding Anniversary! Wow, how quickly time goes by!

I am the luckiest girl alive! I found the best man ever! Happy Anniversary Ry! I Love you!

For our Honeymoon we went to California and drove the coast, for our 1st Anniversary we went to Hawaii and for our 2nd Anniversary we... went to lunch at Texas Roadhouse and then went to the Zoo, but it was closed! My how things change as the years go by! Yes, it sounds lame, but it actually was a great day hanging out together! In the morning we watched Good Things Utah and they were doing a segment from the Zoo and we thought it would be fun to go spend the day there. On our way there we decided to go to Texas Roadhouse for lunch, but when we got there we found they didn't open till 4pm. Nothing else sounded as good as their freshly baked rolls, so we decided to stop and get ice cream at Bellisimo and then we drove around Bountiful until they opened. After our yummy late lunch/ early dinner we were off to the zoo. When we got there they were closed. We didn't realize the Zoo is mainly for stay-at-home parents and is only open till 5pm every day! Oops. We couldn't think of any other activities to do on a rainy day so I convinced Ry to drive all the way down to South Towne mall so I could get a shirt from Downeast Basics that I had been wanting (Thanks Jolie and Alison for having such cute clothes that I have to copy!). When we got home we watched our wedding video and Shrek 2 (that was the movie we saw on our first date) and then went to bed so we could get some sleep before Kailee's 2am feeding came! We didn't have any great plans for this Anniversary, but it sure was fun just spending the day together reminiscing about our dating years and our wedding day!

Our Little Angel!

We had these pictures taken at Little Angels photography when Kailee was two weeks. The day we had the pictures done she was a little constipated and was not feeling well, but the pictures still turned out great! Thanks Little Angels!






More Hospital Pics...

Our first picture together as a family!
This is my 'hindsight' moment... Ryan is tired of hearing it :)
This is the only picture I have of Ryan with Kailee in the hospital. I wish I had the camera with ME so I could have taken a picture when he held her for the first time. Darn!
