For Peter

Hey babe!! Ryenne and I miss you tons! I liked how this picture came out, so just wanted to show you so you don't forget what your wifey looks like.

Love you bunches! XOXOXO

Ry and Misabella

I swear I got pictures with Molley and Kupono too, but Ryenne and Misa really love each other and these pictures came out so darn cute.

Pumpkin Patch!!!

We went to Ry's first ever trip to a pumpkin patch!! She got to ride on a pony... she was SO CUTE. She loved riding it. She also got some balloons and got to sit on hay and walk around the pumpkins. Lots of fun!

Off to Reno!

From Livermore, we stopped by Aunt Anita's in Folsom, but for some dumb reason I forgot my camera in the car so I don't have pictures from there.

But we went to Mom and Dad's house in Reno... well Lemmon Valley actually. Here's some pictures from Grammie and Grampy's house and also from shopping with Auntie Lini!

Visiting tia Aura

From Grandmama's we drove out to Livermore to visit tia Aura and family. We had a great lunch with Aura, Jesika, Tracie, and the grandkids Cadence ande Layla!

Grandmama's House

A couple pictures from Grandmama's house in San Jose. Gosh... miss you already so much Grandmama! It was awesome hanging out with Grandmama and Solo the doggy. Ry enjoyed playing on the stairs and also watching Sadie the cat. She loved the pumpkins out front!

On the Mainland!

We flew into Oakland on 10/22 and stayed the night at Uncle Johnny and Auntie Patti's house in Lafayette. We had a nice, but short, visit with them!

Dancing Flower Fairy

Argh - blogger was down when I tried to put these up yesterday.

Well here they are! My beautiful Flower Fairy. Ryenne was giddy as I put the dress on her. She was ALL SMILES and prancing around the backyard. I sure have a girly girl on my hands!

Just after a photo shoot...

Ryenne and Peter got to come along to the beach while I photographing a really nice couple. Ry loved to run around in the sand. She had sand EVERYWHERE.

More fun with photoshop!

My gorgeous girl with a pop-art kinda feel.

Various Things

We took Ry to the county fair last weekend and it was a lot of fun. I'll post those pics soon.

In the meantime, here's a picture of Ry trying to help her daddy put the child locks on the cabinets. We gave her a little tool so she felt like she was helping!

And here's yet another of Nick's new boats! It's BIG!!!!

A Country Girl Who Likes Her Tutu's

Beautiful Ryenne has a new tooth! A Molar came in which explains all the drool and fusiness. Not sure if I've mentioned it before...

Anyway, we've been enjoying feeding the goats across the street and Ry just loves it. Especially when I let her do it herself. Her feet have grown again and she fits into the crocs now. While I hate the style, they are good for little feet and they give plenty of foot room. Koa HATES it that she wears them.

I just love the profile picture of her where you can see her super long eyelashes. I think I might frame that one. She's so beautiful.

I got some various tutus for doing portraits and Ry wanted to put one on. SO CUTE! It's a little big for her, but shortly after I took this picure she went and got her pearl necklace on and was the belle of the ball in the living room.

Visit with Uncle Shane

Peter's cousin Shane visited from Las Vegas. It was his first time to meet Ryenne. I felt so bad cause he wanted to hold her and she was being so SHY! She wouldn't budge from my arms. But it was a nice visit and we had a good time seeing you and the family Shane!

Sweet, sweet girl

Ry is such a funny girl. She either likes to be naked or completely decked out with shoes and a necklace. She's got a nice collection going, but her favorite necklace are her pearls! Such a girly girl.

We had a fun time playing with water in the backyard. She started outside the bin, but then wanted to sit inside. She thought that it was so funny!

She's been really into sitting in boxes lately. Last night we had a big one and she was trying to close the top over herself. I kept asking if she wanted to mail herself somewhere!

Crazy Sox!!!

When we were unpacking a box we came across my crazy fuzzy sox. Ryenne adored them and wanted to put them on. It was so darn cute - Peter and I both ran for the cameras.

She's walking everywhere now and yes, getting into everything she can. She's had a cold for about a week now. It's getting better, but she definitely has her grumpy moments.

Last night I used the oven for the first time. Not that I never cook, I just usually use the toaster oven cause it's faster. But anyway, getting off track here... so I was using the big oven and Ry came into the kitchen right when I was going to open it. She wanted to touch it so I told her it was hot. She knows that when her food is hot she has to blow on it. So she looked at me, took a deep breath, and started blowing on the oven. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life. I had to giggle inside (didn't want her to think I was laughing at her) and scooped her up and told her what a good, smart girl she is. I don't think I'll ever forget that moment in my entire life.

Betel Nut!

Nico got some betel nut trees!!

Nico's new boat & Ry walking!

Lots of pictures in this blog!

Ryenne has been experimenting with walking more and more. Her favorite is to go in the backyard and walk in the grass. She holds up both hands for balance while she's walking and shakes her hands. We call it JAZZ HANDS! It's too hilarious and so super cute. It's crazy to think that once she's confident with her walking she will forevermore be a walker. My baby is growing up sooooo fast!

Nick got a new (old) boat. It's super cool. I think it's from the 60's or something, so I gave these images a vintage feel, which I think looks awesome.

Hutch and Tables and Chairs! Oh My!

We moved in our hutch and dining table and chairs from under the tarp today. The LAST pieces of furniture to come in from outside.

But ah ah.... no pictures until this place is DONE!

Dirty Baby & The Blue Door

I am in love with our turquoise back door! So I put my dirty baby in front of it and we had a great photo shoot. Love all her silly faces. She knows how to pose for sure!
