Eggleston family news


We finally thought it was time to let friends and family know that our family will be going thru a change pretty soon.

We have tried a long time to bring RyLee a sibling, a sister to be exact. But with 9 miscarriages and years of failure that is not going to happen.

We thought this Untill I got a call from my friend shannon to see if I was going to go to Salt lake to visit family and take her daughter maternity clothes. I decided to go because I hadnt seen my sister in a long time because she lives in Roy. So I planned on taking shannons daughter (A) out for lunch. While out lunch with (A) and RyLee, (A) said she wanted me to come up there from st george because she wanted to know if we would adopt her baby. Mike and I werent planning on adopting a baby and hadnt thought of adoption since before RyLee was conceived. We were shocked and happy at the same time. RyLee knew what she was asking and was very happy to finally have her sister. Yes, the "Baby" is going to be a beautiful girl. Mike and I are so happy and cant wait to complete our little family. We are so thankful to have a birthmom who puts the love and needs of her unborn baby before that of her own. She is a brave and loving person, we cant wait to have (A) a part of our family also. We will forever love her and be thankful for the life she will give us to cherish. In the meantime we will keep everyone posted with this new journey as it unfolds. Pray for us, birthmom, and all family involved. Baby Girl is due JAN 5th so we have just a little while to get ready for baby.

Everyday Life


It was about time I posted a new blog on here, I am really bad about keeping up.

Well mike has been busy being a stay at home dad with Rypie during the week while I go to school full time. For those who dont know or remember I am getting my RN degree. We decided to homeschool Ry so mike is her main teacher. Rylee meantioned the other day I am daddy's helper. Yes, I guess I am. They stay busy the best they can. Mike has even taken her on a camping trip over night while I stayed home for school. They go fishing a lot which RyLee loves if Daddy buys worms. She is determined to have them as pets. Unfortunity she pets them a little to much, they end up going to worm heaven from all her love. This little girl really longs for a pet, poor thing!

Tonight we took RyLee to a haunted house that made one for little kids. RyLee really wanted to go, she had waited all day for daddy to get off work to go. As we waited in line for tickets a teenager said how scared she was and Ry looked up and said" you dont have to be scared they are pretend. Be like me, I am brave and strong." She really was not scared she went thru first while Mike and I trailed behind her. I am embarrassed to say, but I would use mike as the human sheild. I know its pretend but there is something about not knowing when something is going to jump out at you! I love my husband but I know I would sacrifice him like a lamb!!!

After I went to watch Night in Rodanthe with my friend Shannon for a girls night out. I should have know that all Nicholas Sparks movies end up being tear jerkers. But, are we smart enough to bring tissue? No. We ended up wiping it on ourselves. Shannon used her sleave, I wiped it on my pants. When we walked out from the movie we looked like a sad sight to see. Good thing it was raining and we could blame that for the tear streaked faces. It was a good movie to watch if you ever need a good cry.
