CHRISTMAS 2o11 MeMories

20/017.JPG" />

This has been the funniest December that I have had in the longest time for one thing Rilynn is really getting into it and understanding more. She is constantly making me laugh with all the things she says & all the funny stories she tells. Caitlyn she just loves to act like a BIG girl she is quite the pill these days she won't sit in the stroller so I end up having to push Rilynn in the stroller. (At least I am getting a workout by pushing her!!!)

What has been going on at the Cowan Residence???

2011-10-02T12:36:00.000-07:00

So I have been slacking on my Blog lately, but I have a really good reason for it. I have been soooo busy. I Love staying busy but when I don't get a chance to breath that's when it's a little too crazy.

Tim and I are finished with the Overlake 1st Ward Fall Festival and my Moms Granddaughter Tea Party so now we are just getting ready for Halloween and driving Rilynn to school and dance. Rilynn is going to a new preschool in Stansbury and I have been so worried that she wouldn't adjust well but she has. She loves her new teacher and also she loves Dance. She is always showing me her Dance moves which I just love to pieces.
Caitlyn pretty much is just along for the ride. Tim took her to Target & Artic Circle on a Daddy Daughter Date on Friday and he said she was in High Heaven not having to be rushed at looking at the Toys and just getting to test out all the toys without her sister taking them away from her.

Caitlyn's 18 month Pictures

2011-08-09T20:04:00.000-07:00

Our little Caitlyn is such a Joy in our life. She is so funny she makes us laugh and she absolutely LOVES her Daddy(she is a Daddy's girl) What would I do without this little blessing in my life. She is starting to talk she say's "NO" "Mommy" "Daddy" "Work" and today she said "Please" for the very first time. I am one Proud Momma!!!!

THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE

2011-07-17T18:09:00.001-07:00

Today in church I was thinking about my family and my Two Beautiful Girls. I was thinking how sad I would be to miss all of there new Adventures. I have my days when I want to go back to work full time in a photography studio but that is the selfish side of me and I know that it really wouldn't make me happy. I hope one day to be working in a Studio but I guess just not right now. It truly is the simple things that I love like when Rilynn tells me a funny story or when Caitlyn does her ridiculous fake laugh (but I love it) I have a saying that I wrote in my scriptures that says something like "There is a time and Season for Everything" I Love my family very much and I Love where I am at in Life and ecspecially the Love Tim gives Me.

PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN......

2011-07-06T20:43:00.000-07:00

WE HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL 4TH OF JULY. WE DECIDED TO WATCH THE PARADE WITH MY MOM THIS YEAR. RILYNN GOT SO MUCH CANDY(CAUSE DADDY HELPED HER THANKS TIM!!) IT DID START TO RAIN BUT IT ACTUALLY FELT REALLY GOOD SO IT DIDN'T BOTHER US ONE BIT. AFTERWARD WE WENT TO MY COUSINS HOUSE FOR A BBQ. SO FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME I MADE HOMEMADE RASPBERRY ICECREAM AND IT TURNED OUT SO GOOD. I WAS SO PROUD OF MYSELF.

CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF SUMMER - SOAKIN' IN THE SUN!!!

2011-06-30T21:21:00.000-07:00

We have already have had so much fun this Summer. Just playin' in our neighbors backyard swimming pool going to Bear Lake and just Enjoying each others Company.
We love our Neighborhood and our Ward. We have such wonderful neighbors I can just sit from my porch while Rilynn walks down to her friends house. We are so Grateful for the Friendships we have made. (Do you love the one of Caitlyn screaming she was not happy about me putting her in the pool!!!!)

Wishing a Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's in my Life.

2011-06-13T12:46:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to take a minute and wish a Happy Father's Day to my Wonderful, Awesome Husband and to all my Dad's. I Love each and everyone of you so much and appreciate Everything you do for me and my family, for the countless priesthood blessings that have been given to me and my girls.

Easter Egg Hunt #2

2011-05-02T19:56:00.000-07:00

I just love Easter. It's my 2nd favorite holiday. April has been so so busy with Easter and all. Saturday before Easter my whole family and I went out to Stansbury Island and had a big Easter Egg Hunt, 4-wheeling, hinking and ate lots and lots of food best of all my aunt Marilyn and uncle Joel were there, last year they were in Africa serving a LDS mission we missed them so much so its so good to have them back. Almost everyone was there. my Grandma & Grandpa Clark started this tradition along long time ago even before I could remember. I love you and miss you Gram and Grandpa.

Easter Egg Hunt #1

2011-04-17T17:59:00.001-07:00

Saturday we had a Easter egg Hunt at my step brother Curtis's house it was so much fun we ate breakfast and then had a big Egg Hunt. Cailtyn just sat there and was just enjoying watching all the kids and Rilynn loved playing on the Trampoline with all her cousins, were just hoping for SPRING to stay.

A few days earlier we had an accident and spent the morning in the ER. I left the tail gate down and Rilynn came running around the truck and ran into the edge. 5 stitches later and a black & blue forhead we made it through the day. I felt so bad that she got hurt and while we were waiting in the ER I was thinking how fast in the blink of an eye how bad things can happen. HAVE A HOPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!!!

Look at that Doggie in the Window ruff ruff..........

2011-04-17T17:30:00.000-07:00

We got a cute new addition to our family. Just Kidding!!!! She absolutely loves playing in the dog water so she makes a run for it whenever I forget to leave the pantry door open. Yucky I know but I had to take some pictures for black mail!!!!

Time for a New Family Picture....

2011-04-06T10:42:00.000-07:00

Im usually always the one behind the Camera and the last time we got a family picture Caitlyn was just a couple months old and so it was time.

Girls will be girls Happy Valentines Day!!!!

2011-02-10T13:01:00.000-08:00

These two girls are two of a kind. They do have there days when all they do is fight but most of the time they really do love each other. We were enjoying the 35 degree weather in which the girls thought it was warm. Spring hurry and Come we need you!!!!

Happy Valentines Day to everyone.

Caitlyn's 1st Birthday

2011-01-15T17:03:00.000-08:00

Caitlyn's birthday was on friday so we had a big birthday bash for her. All of our family came to help us celebrate it was alot of fun. Tim and I was just saying where did the year go? we just can't believe she's already 1. When she was born she was 4 weeks early and so she had to go to the NICU because she had fluid on her lungs from the c-section but at that time I was just rushing her to get better and for her to come home with us. Right now I just wish she will just stay little and hold time just for a little longer. She is not walking but Im ok with that because she is already a speed demon on crawling!!!! We Love you so much Caitlyn Happy Birthday.

Rilynn's Pajama Party at School

2011-01-15T16:47:00.000-08:00

Rilynn had a Christmas Pajama Party at school and so got to wear her favorite pajamas she thought that was so cool.

Christmas Morning 2010

2010-12-31T18:21:00.000-08:00

Our Christmas was so hectic, honestly we didn't even really get to enjoy it sadly. We ran from one grandparent to the next grandparent. But the girls still had fun and were spoiled I am sad that it is all over only because I wanted to soak it all in but instead it was a rush. Oh well theirs next year.

Frilly dresses, hair bows and all..... Wishing you all a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year

2010-12-17T15:28:00.000-08:00

No Place like Home for the Holidays!!!!!

2010-11-16T12:37:00.000-08:00

Caitlyn is 1o months old she is getting into everything and just wants to do everything her sister is doing. We Love You Caitlyn You are the Biggest Bundle of Joy!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Rilynn. You Rock our World Little Country girl!!!

2010-11-06T13:21:00.000-07:00

We had Rilynn's Birthday on the 29th of Oct since her birthday was on a monday. It was so much fun we had a couple of her friends come from her nursery and her cousins all came too. She kept telling us that she wanted a Dora birthday party so thats what we did. I am so glad to have this little Rilynn in my life she makes me laugh everyday.
Last night we were on our way to my sister's and she said "Mom you need to drive with two hands so we don't wreck" so I was teasing her that I wasn't going to drive with no hands and she said "the cops are going to come and get you then!!!" We Love you Rilynn Happy 3rd Birthday

My Cute Little Bug!!!!! (Caterpillar)

2010-11-02T12:17:00.001-07:00

Caitlyn Grace is 9 months old and she is so much fun she just got her first tooth and she has not been happy about it either. She is crawling all over the place and loves getting into the dog water. We love having her in our family she is such a blessing. I was just telling my step mom that last year at this time I was pregnant with her and look at her now.

Trick or Treat smell my feet.........

2010-11-02T12:05:00.000-07:00

What a day it was lot's of fun but busy busy. We had a Halloween Party that morning at my moms house and we played games and ate & ate some more. By the time we got home from making all the stops it was 4:00 and we were tired but Rilynn wasn't she was ready to go door to door so I took her around while Tim stayed home with Caityln and handed out candy. This is our first year in this neighborhood we weren't sure on how much candy to buy. Well we ran out of candy we handed out Rilynn candy when she wasn't looking.

Carving Pumpkins for the first time.

2010-11-02T11:52:00.001-07:00

My first year carving pumpkins and I loves it

We waited until Caitlyn went to sleep I didn't need anymore help from a 9 month old!!!
We were going to carve pumpkins last year but Rilynn was still to little and plus our house was up for sale so we didn't to clean anymore than we a;ready had too. But Im glad we waited cause Rilynn had fun and really enjoyed herself. Tim had to work so we had to do it without him. Sorry Tim we missed you.

Black cats and Ghost Goblins too We love Halloween BOO!!!!

2010-10-07T09:27:00.001-07:00

Where has the time gone my two little girls are growing up. Caitlyn is almost 9 months old and is sitting up and crawling all over the place. Rilynn will be 3 here in a couple weeks she is so excited about her birthday and were trying to get her pumped up for Trick or Treating but she just looks at us weird like why would I go to someones house to get candy!!!!

My Sister and I made a Halloween tutu's for the girls. It was the first one I have ever made so it took me awhile to make it but I finally figured it out and now I know how easy it is to make. Thanks for helping me Tina.

Potty Trained and ready for Preschool!!

2010-09-21T18:16:00.000-07:00

It has been a long haul getting her potty trained and honestly how it worked was when she was ready, she was ready. So all the bribes never worked for me. She was going to go on her own time. My mom keeps telling me that the apple didn't fall to far from the tree, that she gets her stubburness from me. I don't believe that!!!

So Rilynn started preschool on Sept 14th and I think for the most part she loves it. I truly think it's good for her. She is learning alot and I am so proud of her. I love you Rilynn.

She's Crawling

2010-09-01T08:51:00.001-07:00

Caitlyn is 7 months old. She wants nothing to do with sitting up but she is starting to get around!! Each and everyday she is getting better at it.

Rilynn Elizabeth growing up way to fast....

Just a day at the Zoo.

My Greatest Blessings..........

2010-07-23T12:44:00.000-07:00

When the house is a mess, I can't get dinner going and it seems like I can't get anything accomplished I do get frustrated but I have a friend that tells me they don't care how clean the house is or if they just have cereal for dinner all they care about is justing spending time with them, reading books or just chasing them around the house it's just the simple stuff. I Love my girls so much and I don't know what I would do without them.

My little Firecrackers!!! 4th of July 2010

2010-07-07T12:36:00.000-07:00

We had such a Blast this year. I love the 4th of July ecspecially celebrating it in Grantsville. But this yr we decided to go watch the fireworks behind our new house over by Clark Johnson Jr High and so we got two shows Grantsville's & Deseret Peaks.

Any Advice..........

2010-07-07T12:22:00.000-07:00

We are having troubles getting a 2 yr old to sleep in her bed. She has not slept in it since we've moved to our new house. So the sleeping arrangements are:
Tim sleeps in her bed while Rilynn sleeps in the pack n' play or Ri sleeps in our bed and I go sleep on the couch or Tim will sleep downstairs since all three of us won't fit in our bed. Please.......... we could really use some good sleep, any advice would be great.

Just Chillin' like a Villian

2010-07-02T13:02:00.000-07:00

Nothin's better than Summer Time.........

2010-07-02T12:25:00.000-07:00

Rilynn loves visiting her Grandma's. Rilynn & Claire played outside all day long playin in the pool and eating popcycles and just chasing each other around the yard. Summer time I have to say is the best. I would take the heat over the cold any day.

To Our Totally Cool Daddy..... We Love You Babe

2010-06-22T15:03:00.000-07:00

Rilynn all day long will say "Where's Dad oh ya he's workin" He is the provider for our family and I appreciate him so much. Happy Father's Day Tim. You are one Cool Rockin' Dad as Rilynn would say.

2010-05-13T13:12:00.000-07:00

Famous saying from a two year old

2010-03-21T16:08:00.000-07:00

We just have so much fun with Rilynn. She comes up with the funniest things to say.
- I am so Scared
- I am so poopie
- I am only moving to my grandma's house
-Where's Caire (Claire)
- Oh my Gosh!!
Friday we were walking out the door and Rilynn turns around and says "MOM MOM do you the phone" I said Yes "do you have the keys" I said yes and she said "oh thats Better." I think she meant to say "That's Good."

Daddy's Girls

2010-03-21T16:01:00.000-07:00

I guess we could say we have had a lot of sleepless nights with the new baby and moving. Let's just say were ALWAYS tired here at the Cowan house.

We really did have an awesome Valentine's Day. The night before Tim & I went and ate at a new restaurant called Jamos. On sunday we went to church, barbequed on the grill, took the girls on a walk since it was such a beautiful day outside. It was a perfect Valentine's Day.
I Love you Tim, Rilynn and Caitlyn you guys mean the world to me.

Our Beautiful baby girl Caitlyn Grace Cowan

2010-01-20T19:13:00.000-08:00

Caitlyn Grace came 4 weeks early on Jan 14, 2010 weighing in at 5 lbs & 11 oz & 18 inchs long. I was having alot of pressure down below and having contractions about 5 min apart. When I got into the hospital they said well thats why, you are dilated to a 4 - 4 1/2 and 70% affaced and you have probably have been in labor all week. But since I have a 2 yr old thats probably why I never realized.

A Long long..... Day

2009-12-30T13:37:00.000-08:00

Rilynn finally took a nap as we were on our way into my moms house that afternoon we didn't even know she fell asleep until we looked back and we couldn't resist on taking this picture. We were joking around by saying she was all "Duckered" Out!!!!!

Christmas Breakfast at the Cowan's

2009-12-30T13:25:00.000-08:00

After we opened presents at our house we drove into West Jordan and had breakfast in at Tim's parents house and opened presents and played our white elephant game which was alot of fun. I won a cow that is made of plaster it is actually really cute.

Christmas Morning 2009

2009-12-30T13:13:00.000-08:00

Tim and I talked about waking up about 7 to open presents but since Rilynn never wakes up until 8:30 every morning we didn't wake up until 8. So we woke up and woke Ri up and brought her in she still had no clue but she loved opening the presents. It was such a nice morning and yet I'm glad it's over with!!!!

Toilet Papering!!!!

2009-12-11T11:51:00.000-08:00

This past few days Tim and I have been picking up toilet paper and kleenex's all over our house and today I finally figured it out why. All of Rilynn's baby dolls and stuffed animals have runny noses!!! So she goes into the bathroom gets some tissue and wipes their noses and throws it on the ground. Which I think she's pretty smart cause she hasn't had a runny nose in a couple of months. What a funny girl!!!

The weather Outside was frightful.......

2009-12-07T08:11:00.000-08:00

Saturday, Tim decided to get the 4-wheeler out and going. We can't go far in our neighborhood so we just went up and down a couple blocks near us. Rilynn loved it, she did not want to go in the house but her face was so cold. I loved it myself too. It was alot of fun just riding in the snow and feeling the snow flakes land on your face.

Finally we got the Christmas tree up!!!!

2009-12-03T12:48:00.000-08:00

It took a few days but we finally got the tree up and decorated. I had such wonderful help from a two yr old. But I think she had fun helping me. She is a good helper when she wants to be.

Halloween Night 2009

2009-11-02T12:21:00.000-08:00

Well after the birthday party and everyone had left Rilynn was so exhausted that she wasn't to excited to get her costume on and go trick or treating but we did get one picture of the kids together as we were trying to get them ready. Tim held her in his lap while I did her hair. So sorry guys I didn't get a picture of her all dolled up. But of course she looked so Cute. Ha "bee" Halloween 2009

Happy "2" Birthday Rilynn

2009-11-02T11:20:00.000-08:00

Rilynn's birthday was on Sunday Nov 1st but we thought it would be fun to Celebrate it on Halloween and since she was a Bee for Halloween we had a Bumble Bee birthday party. It was alot of fun we had it over at the park. It was a little bit chilly but the Sun was out to make it a perfect day for a birthday party and Halloween. I want to Thank our family for Coming out and Celebrating this special day with us. Happy 2nd Birthday my Beautiful Baby Girl!!!!!

Playin Outside with my Best Friend Claire

2009-10-07T15:55:00.001-07:00

We took the girls behind Eileen's house to visit the horses and of course the kitty cat had to follow so we posed with the cat or Claire calls it a "Dat"

Allergys Allergys and more Allergys

2009-10-07T15:44:00.000-07:00

We have been dealing with allergys this past two weeks. Runny nose, itchy eyes. So we have been keeping her doped up on Claritin and that seems to help. I am so sick of wiping noses!!!!!

It's a.........Girl!!!

2009-09-10T11:37:00.000-07:00

We went and found out if Rilynn is having a brother or a sister and Rilynn is getting a baby sister. I am excited I was so dead set that it was a boy that I have to keep reminding myself that it's a GIRL. Poor Tim he's a little disappointed but he's telling me that this will be his tom boy!!

Pioneer Day, Tribute to our Ancestors

2009-07-29T16:43:00.000-07:00

On the 24th of July we went to the Parade which it was so HOT that morning and the parade was so long but it was all worth it when we got to see President Eyring and his wife and we shoke hands with Dan Pope from KSL news (So cool) As you can tell Rilynn had enough and wanted to get out of the heat.

Bear Lake 2009

2009-07-29T16:26:00.000-07:00

This year which landed on our 3rd Anniversary my whole family went up to Bear Lake. Tim and I had to make a couple pit stops cause I was sick but once we got up there it was all worth it. Thank you Tim for being so patient for all the stops we had to make.

Since I wasn't feeling to well that day I sat behind that camera & took most of the pictures. But here is Tim and Rilynn playing in the water waiting to get on the boat.

Wednesday April 22, was Claire's birthday party at Liberty park and it couldn't of been more of a beautiful day. Tim had to work so Rilynn and I just went in by ourselves. Even though the park was packed since it was 80 degree weather I always knew where Rilynn was the Swing. She absolutely loves the swings Uncle Erich stayed by her most of the time so she wouldn't fall off. Even though she did face plant it once but she didn't even cry she just got right up and wanted right back on the swing.

Easter 2009!!!!!

2009-04-14T16:21:00.000-07:00

The day before Easter we all went out to Stansbury Island (Family tradition) and had a Big Easter egg hunt, we ate fajita's and just spend time with one another. This year David and Amy brought there 4-wheelers out so we had more to go around. Rilynn was so funny we kept catching her eating sand in handfuls. Her and her cousin Claire just played in the sand all day. Sunday morning before we got ready for church we let her go through her Easter basket she would study what she got and than move on to the next thing. We love watching her at this age she is so much FUN. Sad to think she goes to Nursery next month. My baby is growing up!! WE Love You Rilynn.

Rilynn and the "Scary" Pig

2009-03-30T12:57:00.000-07:00

Saturday Tim and I had a family day and went to lunch, visited his parents and went Carpet shopping Yaya!!!!! But while were eating at our favorite place Famous Daves our waitress asked us if Rilynn would like to go see their mascott "The Pig" she Freaked and would not even look at him. It was so funny...... Well we got a kick out of it!!!!!!!

The Kit Kat got the best of Me.......

2009-02-16T15:08:00.000-08:00

It was a Kit Kat disaster. We got home from church layed her down for a long overdue nap and Tim and I were sitting down eating a Kit Kat bar from Valentines and Rilynn wanted one soo..... bad so we put her in her high chair. We only gave her one little stick and she had it ALL over herself.

Im just like the energizer bunny I just go On and on.....

2009-02-09T14:24:00.000-08:00

We were at my Dads visiting and I guess there was just so much to adventure to. We went and saw the Lambs and the "dog" dog" and she would go sit down on this ledge to take a rest. Everytime I would go to pick her up she would kick & scream. I guess thats the Joy of having a toddler.
