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! :)

Of course Ryleigh's favorite part!

Happy Birthday Emma!

Preschool

It is hard to believe that Ryleigh will start preschool in the fall!! Why is our little girl growing so fast?! We debated on a few preschools that we were deciding between, but ultimately are really excited about our choice for Ryleigh. Unfortunately for this preschool, Jarred had to camp out from a Sunday morning at about 10:00am until the Monday morning registration at 8:00am. The church was nice enough to let them inside for the day/night. Jarred ended up sleeping in his Tahoe, which it got pretty cold that night...but he survived. And we thank him for camping out! We are ready for the fall!
Here are some pictures from his camping adventure!
It was Super Bowl Sunday...at least they had a tv!


And at least they had a ping pong table!


The excitement eventually wore off... :)

Blogging Slacker

So I am WAY behind on blogging...we've been so busy here lately and I have NOT taken enough pictures of Ryleigh! We are so glad it's spring time and are enjoying the time change.
Here are some pictures of Ryleigh at A.C. Steere park last month when it was just a gorgeous day!
Excited to be going to the park!

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning, Ryleigh woke up a little after 7 and was ready to see what Santa had brought. Gifts from Santa...art table/easel and supplies, books, dvd's, and MOST imporantly...pink cupcake! Every time we would ask Ryleigh what she wanted Santa to bring her, she would say "pink cupcake". I think if he would have just brought her that, she would have been fine! :) Christmas morning I just made sure that she still wanted her pink cupcake...


Taking a peek around the corner to see what Santa brought!


She went right to the cupcakes! :)




Finger-licking good!

After we had Christmas at our house, we headed over to Jarred's parents house. They had cooked their traditional breakfast that we all ate before opening presents.
