Swimming!

Ryleigh had no problems this year jumping right on in Bear & Enne's pool. We bought a puddle jumper so we wouldn't have to hold on to her as much...it has been a "lifesaver". :) Ryleigh is still learning how to swim, has had several days where she didn't wear her floaties, is getting used to putting part of her head under the water, and will be a little fish before we know it! Unfortunately the pool is already starting to get cooler because of the time of year and how the sun hits their pool. So we will only have another week or so of swimming before it is too cool to get in!









Counting down for Daddy to jump in!

Zoo - Memorial Day

Memorial Day we headed over to the Tyler Zoo with Ryleigh's friend Isabel...they are like two peas in a pod. Isabel and Ryleigh are in the same Sunday school class, were in Mother's Day Out together and are only 10 days apart, so they play so well together! Plus Aaron and Shannon are in our Sunday school class! :)
We got there pretty early so it wouldn't be so hot and finished right in time for lunch! Shannon was a trooper being 9 months pregnant!

Ryleigh trying to keep up with Isabel...she kept following her saying, "Isabel, Isabel". haha






With Daddy in front of, no other, the elephants! Unfortunately this was as close as we could get. :(

Catching Up!

So...blogging has not been high on my to-do list lately. From when I left off last time, we have shared the news that.....
Ryleigh is going to be a -



Due December 2nd! We are SO excited and thank God for our 2nd little miracle.


She will have a little -



Again, SO excited and couldn't be happier that he is healthy and looking good! Both Jarred and I had the gut feeling it would be another girl, but to our surprise the tech said "BOY!" Jarred didn't believe her and made her show him several times that he was in fact a boy! Definitely have the pictures to prove it! :)

We FINALLY decided on a name...Parker Rance Cram! Rance is Jarred's middle name as well as his dad's name. Parker we just liked and Ryleigh helped pick out. Every time we would ask her what her little brother's name was, she said Parker. (Or Elmo as put in her head by Rance!) :)

Norton 2011

We had family pictures taken again this year at Norton. Ryleigh did better this year and smiled for the camera. He got a few good shots!

Happy Easter

Trying to catch up blogging!
Here are pics from Easter Sunday. Ryleigh loved everything the Easter bunny brought her. We went to church and then had lunch at Cantina Laredo with both sides of our family! Everyone then came out to our house for Ryleigh to hunt Easter eggs. We all had a good time!

Happy Birthday Emma

A few weeks ago Ryleigh celebrated with Emma on her 3rd birthday at Shreveport Dance Academy. At first Ryleigh really didn't want to change into the dance outfit, but she eventually chose a pink one! Ryleigh eventually started "participating" with the dance instructor and the other girls. Most of the time she just watched them do all the dancing, twirls, stretches and toe taps. At least we know no dancing for her any time soon! :)
