Rhyen had her 2 month check up today.
She weighs 8lbs. 11oz. and is 22 inches long.
She is about 5th percentile for weight, 36th
percentile for length, and her head
is in the 21st percentile. She also had
some shots today, which she
took like a champ.

These are a few of the 300 or so 8
week pictures we took. Lisa your
amazing, they turned out perfect!

Four Weeks

These are her 4 week pictures that I promised
to put on forever ago. Sorry I am slow!

Our Little One

Rhyen turned 6 weeks old on Christmas Eve!I can't believe it, she is getting so big. She is so
aware now and is full of smiles. She loves watching the
ceiling fan and looking at everything around her.
We are so grateful that we were blessed with her in our lives.

We Love You Rhyen!

After the blessing we went back to my parent's
house and had lunch and some fun

Gary made marshmellow guns.
We had fun shooting at each other.

Great Grandma and Grandpa with Rhyen

We had a dinner Sunday night for all the family that
came for the blessing. Thank you to our families
for everything. We love you!

Rhyen's Blessing December 28th

First Christmas!

Rhyen's first Christmas was really fun.

We spent Christmas Eve with the Watsons and
Christmas day with the Kraucyks.
Rhyen was so spoiled by all of her presents.

Santa brought Rhyen this huge Minnie
Mouse for Christmas!

Everyone enjoys Christmas naps, and they are just
that much better when they are with papa.Special thanks to papa for getting Rhyen her
Cabella's pajamas.

Go Cougars!

Rhyen is having a fun day
with her dad watching the
Cougars play today.

She got all dressed
up for the big bowl
game!

Thanks for playing with
dad Rhyen!

Gotta Have That Pacifier

Works like a charm!

Just Fun.....For Me

First off, look at the sweet face I get
to spend everyday with,
isn't she cute?!
I love you Rhyen!

I forgot what two good nights of
sleep was like. I had energy today
so we did a little at home
photo shoot. I had fun but Rhyen
got tired of it fast.

Obviously this is her blessing dress.
She will be blessed on December 28th
in the Stockdale Ward at 11.
Please come if you can, it will
be great to see everyone.

4 Weeks Today

Rhyen is 4weeks old today. It has gone by so fast. She

is starting to become more aware, looking all around

at sounds and people. She has started to watch

the toys move around on her swing too. We took her to get

pictures done today but of course we won't get them for

about 10 days. When I get them I will post them, but until

then this one will have to do.

Santa!

Rhyen had her first visit with Santa Clause!

Our first family Christmas photo!

Oh Christmas Tree

Here is our Christmas tree for 2008!
We spent our famliy home evening decorating

the tree and singing Christmas songs.

Our Lovebug had holiday spirit but was just too tired to see it through. Here is her first ornament, porcelain pink shoes, so cute!

Clay and I have a tradition that when we go on a

vacation we get an ornament and a magnet. Here are a few

of our ornaments we have picked up over

the past couple of years.

Our honeymoon at Disney World, Our 2 year anniversary in Hawaii


Our 4th of July trip to Illinois, Our trip to Peru


and our trip to Niagara Falls

And of course what tree would be complete without a BYU
ornament and a Kiwi ornament

First Thanksgiving!

This year since we had Rhyen so close to

Thanksgiving we decided to stay in Utah. We cooked our

very first Thanksgiving meal. To our surprise

everything turned out perfect.

(we had a back up plan just in case)

Although we missed our family, it was nice to have it be

just the 3 of us for Thanksgiving!

Rhyen was dressed for the occasion!
