Circus time!!!

For anyone who has peeked at my pinterest lately you know that there was a circus themed birthday party in the works. We celebrated Rylee's first birthday last Saturday with a fun backyard circus! It was great, but I think I'll let the pictures speak for themselves (so I have an excuse to post more)! Brandi Marshall was the eye behind the camera at Ry's party, and we are so glad! She's the best & never fails to amaze us with her work.

Sweet birthday girl, in her precious birthday dress!

Cake time!... Egg free of course.



Yum.

 Fun in the photo booth!

Opening presents

 

Pony rides

& circus games!

We all had such a great time, and we are very thankful that so many people who love our sweet Rylee came to celebrate her birthday with us! Thank you! After her party it started to really set in that we are parents to a one year old! This past year has been the most challenging and sleep depriving of my life, but by far it has been the absolute best. We love our sweet Rylee and are looking forward to another exciting and joy filled year with our precious not-so-little-anymore girl!

Swimming

This summer has been hot, hot, hot, and dry, dry, dry. So, we have been spending a lot of time in Rylee's little pool. She loves to get into the water to splash and play! She's so fun!



We love our little fishy.

I love weddings. A lot. This Friday a dear, dear family friend got married this weekend, and we not only had the privilege of being invited but Jeremy was also asked to perform the ceremony. What an honor. The wedding was beautiful and all three of us had a perfect time getting to help and participate in the wedding day preparations! We are so excited for the new couple, their new commitment to one another and allowing Christ to be the head of this new marriage.

It's always fun to get dressed up too...

Yay for weddings!!!

catching up: Easter.

I was so bummed that my computer went kapoot right before Easter because I was so excited to post all of the adorable Rylee's first Easter pictures!

To sum up, Easter was great - we got all dressed up, dug through our (yes, plural: our) Easter baskets, and ate lots and lots of yummy pot roast. Rylee got all sorts of fun toys and pretty bows in her baskets, and then she got all sorts of compliments on her Easter dress! Baby's first Easter was quite a success.

Happy Belated Easter!

PS: more catch up posts to come :)

back!

Well, nearly 4 months later I am back. Navigating my way through a new computer. You see, way back when my old (by that I mean 9 months...) computer one day went to sleep and he never woke back up. I thought a quick trip to the doctor (aka geek squad) would do the trick, to no avail, he was lost. So after several "Did I pray for patience?"  months I am again in front of a computer! Hooray!

No computer may have actually been a blessing amidst the crazy bussiness that has taken over our lives...and our beyond messy home.

I want to share with you some of the fun things we have been up to, and get you all caught up on everything Sigle. Stay stuned to catch up!

Happy Father's Day!

A little bird told me that all a certain dad out there wanted for Father's day was (believe it or not) for this blog to come out of hibernation! I won't claim to be back quite yet, but never the less this one is for you dad's!!! We love you, Happy Father's Day!

ps: I will be back.

9 Months!

Rylee's 8th month of life has been a big one!

• she is crawling all over the place
• she is clapping
• she now has 5 teeth
• she can feed herself
• she is bouncing and bopping to music
• she can wave 

 

You hear it over and over again but there is truth in how fast the time goes. We try to savor every breath this sweet girl takes, and thank God every day for sharing her with us.

Happy Nine Months Rylee!

no excuse

I have no excuse to post these photos except that Rylee is adorable...(and the grandparents have been mentioning the lack of pictures showing Rylee all dressed up.) cough cough.

I love Rylee in this last photo looking up at her daddy with a big I Love you Dad grin. Like I said, adorable.

A good dose of track

We are in the midst of track season. And we are all very happy. Rylee is definitely a runner baby, she endures the long days, she never flinches at the start gun, she watches everyone run by, and she yells and claps (not always at the appropriate time - but she'll get there)

We love track! There are only a few more meets around here taking place this spring...but we have our sights set for Oregon 2012!

peaches & picnics

the weather has been too nice, so we find every opportunity to get outside. even lunch time. 

We had a picnic, ate peaches and watched the puppy dogs play and bark. I love being a mommy.

Gainesville

The beginning of  our week away we spent in Gainesville. It had been my grandma's birthday that weekend so we got to take her to all of our favorite restaurant - Catfish Louie's! For her birthday we got her a frame that held two pictures, one of her holding me when I was a baby, and next to it one of her holding Rylee at the same age. I can't be sure, but I think it may have been more special for me than it was for her... My Grandma & Grandpa have a very special place in my heart...and it means the world to me that Grandma and Rylee get time to know one another.

We had a great time visiting with family catching up and sharing lots of laughs! Can't wait to do it again.

Tulsa

Jeremy and I were so excited to have the opportunity to make a trip to the Tulsa Workshop this year. Not only is the workshop an awesome experience in hearing phenomenal speakers share the word, and bring out ways to uplift, encourage, and challenge you in ministry and your own walk, but this place also holds sentimental value because this is where Jeremy and I got our start.

Because of work and school schedules the last 3 years we have not been able to attend. We have been anticipating this trip for some time now.

There is something special about coming together with other Christians from all over the place, across the country, and the world to connect and worship with one another. It is Awesome. Plainly put.

We all had a great time together. We are already anticipating our Tulsa trip next March!!!
