Here are just some miscellaneous pictures of what we've been doing the past few weeks.  We've had some busy times, Easter and Haven's birthday.  Not to mention some bad weather and a mini Alabama vacation for a day.  For the most part it's been the same old same old.  Playing outside, watching Rylee dig in the dirt which is one of her favorite things to do.  She says she's planting tomato's :)  Last week Rylee also learned how to pedal her bike.  She is so proud of herself and we are so proud of her.  We also decided to go up to Muscle Shoals one weekend for a little mini music themed vacation.  We went to the original Muscle Shoals Sound Studio where some amazing musicians have played and some great songs have gotten recorded.  The building itself isn't much to look at and you would NEVER think that Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson and a long list of others recorded songs there.  Then we went to the Wilson Dam which the Drive By Truckers wrote a song about called Thank God For the TVA.  We realized after last week that maybe some buildings won't be standing forever and there are so many amazing things close by us so we might as well start visiting them while we can.  This past weekend Rylee was the flower girl in Chris and Wendy's wedding.  She did an amazing job, she actually walked slow and threw her flowers.  It was great!  The whole wedding was just beautiful and eventually we will put some pictures of that up.  Currently we are just awaiting the arrival of Ryder and I'm going to take it slow till then :)

Spring so far

So we have had a very busy February and March so far.  One thing I learned after moving here is to enjoy the weather while it is good.  Which means to do as much as you possibly can in the spring because the only thing that you want to do in the summer is swim, drink something really cold, and wish for fall.  Plus with a little baby on his way I figured we might as well do as much as we can right now!  So we have been to parks, painting, gardening, fishing with papa and daddy (no pictures sadly), lots of kite flying, and visiting with friends.  Her favorite things to do these days are digging in the dirt, painting pictures (crayons are just not exciting as paint these days), singing, checking on her baby flowers, going to the library, and flying her kite.  So far she seems very excited about becoming a big sister and already talks to my tummy, and sings him songs.  I think she will be amazing though it might take a month or two... or longer :)  It's amazing how much she has changed since last spring.  Everything is so much easier as far as taking her places now that she's older and I love that.  Thank goodness for a potty trained child.  These days Ry and I are a lot alike, we just need a snack, something to drink, and a few bathroom breaks every couple hours.  April and May certainly won't be slowing down any either.  Haven and JT have birthdays, we plan on going to the zoo, Uncle Chris is getting married and Ry gets to be the flower girl (she is already so excited), and I'm going to have a baby!  Hopefully I will take lots of pictures.
