Steele's in Full Swing!

I decided it was time to jump back on and share some pics and life with everyone. We are counting down our days until our summer begins! We have a long list to get ready for: beach, Sea World, lake, swimming, movies, picking blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries! We can't wait!

 This is Easter morning! Getting ready to go to church to celebrate!

 Rylee Beth Steele is now 3 years old and redder than ever! She is getting ready to cheer big brother on at his T-ball game!

 Ryder and daddy for the last T-ball game of the season. Ryder is now 5 and has just finished his first T-ball season. He has learned and improved so much-he loves to hit and slide!

 This is a pretty accurate picture of Rylee's big personality! She likes guns, trucks, and batman more than princess stuff!!

Prayerfully he has his Pawpaw's green thumb! Ryder had a great time pulling carrots and yes he did eat them! So our garden now has carrots growing!

Ryder getting ready for a big triple!! He did awesome his first season of many I am sure!!!

I could not figure out how to turn this video right side up...sorry. Enjoy my Ryderman in action!

Time for a serious update!

We are all doing well-it is sad how time flies and I realized my last post was from May!!! FOr some reason I have not been able to upload pics but here we go! Ryder is 3 1/2-and testing the waters on a regular basis. He is becoming a professional bike rider! Loves being outside. Loves his new school this year. Rylee is almost 20 months-talking SO much and getting so big! She has really got a fun personality-very independent and bold! She is going to be a woman that can stand her ground! They are so much fun and becoming such good playmates and friends! Aaron and I are good-busy with school, FCA, hunting, church stuff-life with 2 kiddos!

June-

We spent some great time at the blueberry farm, 1st trip to the beach with the kiddos, trip to Dallas-World Aquarium-it was amazing!! Then to Aunt Julie's and Uncle Jeff's house-best host ever!!

July-

We had FCA camp (which was amazing)-very busy with 2 little ones running everywhere! Haley and Megan (neices) came to visit-had a great time! Lots of time with the lake even though there was not much water :) Then we headed to Colorado to stay with my college roommate and her fam! It was awesome!!!

August-

New schedule for everyone-kids are off to school 2 days a week while I am at the high school :) Early mornings-all are adjusting! Got our boat back-too bad there is NO water to put it in!

September-

Labor Day-Beaumont with Trey and Jaimee and Zach!!! Griffin family reunion-always fun :) Ryder's service project with friends-making doggie treats and bringing them to the Humane Society-lots of fun!!! Aaron had a "successful" deer hunt on an exotic ranch! Spent more than we planned but had a great time!

October-

Lots of time outside, camping, riding bikes, riding 4 wheelers, fall festival and Halloween!!

I will try to do better over the next few months on posting :)

Wow-time flies!!!! Well-here we are approaching summer already! Rylee turned 1 over a month ago!!!! She is walking/running all over the place trying to keep up with Ryder! She is cutting her 13th/14th teeth!! She loves steak :) We are learning what it is like to have a family member with fair skin outside-very different than what we know!!!! Ryder turned 3 this past weekend! He is doing great-loves school, church (has a red headed little girlfriend like his sister), being outside, running with his dogs! He is ready for summer to be at the lake-he asks every day!! Aaron is still in track season-doing well. We are looking forward to summer with time off, camp and fun in the sun and of course blueberries! Enjoy all the pics from the last few months of our lives!!
