Just your everyday selfie.

Hiking again!

We got Rylan a robe. She looks quite lavish in it!

Meeting up randomly with old friends is so much fun.

I had not seen this girl in forever. I love me some Leah! It was so fun to catch up with her and talk about our old jokes and come up with a few new ones!

We were so honored to celebrate Evie's birthday with her this year.

Rylan even got to try some of the cupcakes!

On our last day in NY we drove up to Niagara Falls. It was beautiful.

My Dad also took us to this delicious diner called Anton's.

OMG! The next time I go to NY I am definitely going back there!

Sad to leave. We had such a great time.

Rylan's hair was finally long enough to be put into a little bow.

For my birthday Brian got me a massage, a coloring appt, flowers, macarons, a pedicure and a gift card for new jeans. I'm a pretty lucky lady!

Eating Yummy ice cream with my mom and MIL.

Rylan had some too!

Closer look of my new hair!

After my mom left we took Rylan to color me mine. I had been wanting to make a plate with Rylan's foot on it for so long. I figured if I waited much longer, her foot might get too big for a salad plate.

July 2015

Rylan and one of her favorite cousins on the 4th of July.

She couldn't get enough of those glow sticks.

I had the awesome opportunity to visit NY for 8 weeks. I hadn't been home in over 2 years so it was so much fun to catch up with people.

My BFF Kaitlyn met us at the airport under funny circumstances. She was on her way to CO and ended up taking the plane we had taken to SYR back to JFK.

It was a great start to our trip.

The main reason for our trip was to celebrate my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary.

They held it at Moravia State Park?!

It was a state park in Moravia... I know that much.

I hadn't seen my aunt Janice in almost a decade! It was so great to chat with her and catch up.

Rylan tuckered out at Costco. But we had to get things for her birthday party.

I can't believe my little bean turned one! She is so big and learning new things everyday.

I also want to add that the Terrible Two's have begun early...

We took Rylan to the zoo for her birthday. I think we had more fun than she did but it was still a great time.

The monkey was touching the glass and playing with Rylan. Too bad the glare is in the way :(

My BFF Rachel got Rylan this super cute elephant. We named him Horton and thought it was fitting that we take these picture. Love it!

Rylan petting Curly, the Guinea Pig

I don't know why but there are no bucket seat swings ANYWHERE near where we live.

Rylan had a blast swinging by herself.

We took Rylan out for her 1st birthday to this yummy little cafe called Asti's in SYR, NY.

She had a great time. I loved loved loved my food!

Getting Coy.

We went to see the Minion movie. Whenever Rylan would start talking or screaming, no one even noticed because she sounds just like a little minion.

Rylan is definitely my seed. She loved the beach just as much as I do. We literally went there every day.

Rylan photo bombed us.

We went on plenty of hikes in NY.

I love this sweet picture of Rylan and my dad (aka Pop Pop). She seems to be saying,

"Hiking isn't that bad. All you need is someone to carry you. Can you find someone to carry you pop pop?"

We took Rylan to get her very first build a bear.

I think she likes it.

On the last day Brian was with us in NY, we decided to take a trip to Alexandria Bay to see the Boldt Castle. It was super fun and completely gorgeous there. I want to go back already!
