Rylie's 3rd Birthday - March 17, 2011

Rylie in the Mickey Mouse Ears hat she chose at Disneyland Rylie, with her brother, sister, and cousins at the movie 'Tangled' Couldn't take her eyes off the screen to look at me

Don't know what they were all excited about but, thought it was a cute picture!

Getting ready for corned beef and cabbage

Part of the outfit that Grandpa & Grandma Jeppesen sent her for her birthday. As you can tell, Rylie has skinny legs and no rear end. So, while her tops are 3T, her bottoms are all 24 months or even 18 months, in shorts. So, the cute pants that came with the outfit fall off her. Her legs are really long but, no waist so, we have to buy adjustable waist pants in a 3T and 4T and sinch them up as tight as they will go.

Rylie turned 3 years old on March 17, 2011. She was so lucky to have cousins (4 of them) visiting from out of town at the same time of her birthday! So, she had a great time! We started out the day by taking the kids to the park and have lunch and play. Then, we took all of them to go see 'Tangled'. Such a cute and fun movie!!! I loved it!!! After that we headed home to have our Americanized (ha,ha) Irish dinner of corned beef and cabbage! We did it in the crock pot this year and it turned out really good!!!! The kids even enjoyed it! Afterwards, Aunt Shannon as well as Grandpa & Grandma McGinnis came over for cake, ice cream, and opening presents. Rylie got some really awesome and fun things. Her favorites would definitely be the life-like horses she got! A couple big changes have happened since Rylie turned 3. She no longer has a binky! HALLELUJAH! Can I get a whoop, whoop?!?!?! Also, she is 100% pee-pee potty trained (except for at night). Now going #2 in the potty is a trial but, somehow we'll figure it out. Soon, I hope. Rylie still loves horses and ponies! Every bath she has, she has to have her horses with her! Her favorite color is pink. She loves any sort of chicken nuggets, spaghetti, pancakes, and scrambled eggs. Like her Mom, Rylie LOVES candy! She hasn't had her 3 year old well-check visit yet but, at W.I.C. she weighed 30.6 lbs. (40%) and was 37 1/2 inches tall (60%). She loves to laugh and run! If you take her to the park to swing, you'll be her best friend! When she tells you she loves you she'll say, "Love you, too!"
