Rylie was blessed in church on Sunday, June 27th by her daddy along with her Pappy (Joe's dad) and her uncle, Brian Tingey. She did great and didn't cry at all! She looked like an angel in her beautiful gown. Since Daddy isn't a big fan of pictures, we didn't get a family pic but I wanted at least one with her! The blanket that she is on was made from my wedding dress. All three kids were blessed wrapped this blanket. I knew long before we were married that I wanted to have something meaningful for these important days in our family.

Rylie's 6 week old picture. We have a wonderful family friend (Stephanie Yates) who has made a blanket for each of our kids. The boys had similiar pictures taken when they were 6 weeks old also. She has been such a joy and blessing. We can't stop kissing her - all four of us! The boys always want to hold her and we have many fights about who gets to go first. I know that they will eventually break the swing because they practically lay on her when she's in it just to be near her. But she is very patient and so calm amid all the chaos and noise that goes on around her. She's starting to smile and as much as I love this snuggly time, I can't wait until she can really start showing her personality.

Tyler loves being able to spend time with Nate, his cousin, who lives next door. The older boys do great with including Zach when they play at our house or outside. But when they go play at Nate's house, Zach feels left out. Sometimes when that happens Zach gets to do something fun at home. He had a great time making cupcakes with Mom and licking the spoon!

New Blog Name/Address!

As I said before, 4burch didn't work for us anymore. I have spent weeks trying to come up with something. Each time I thought I had a good one, Blogger said it wasn't available! So when I noticed that Joe called each of the kids his little monkey I knew it had to be something along those lines. So we now are "daddys3littlemonkeys"! I don't really post things about Joe and I (we aren't that exciting!) so making the title about the kids is fitting. Then I found a cute new design to fit the title - hope you think it's as cute as I do!
