SLEEPY HEADS!!!

Everyone starts in their own beds, but by morning...
there's NO telling WHERE we'll all end be sleepin! :-)

Now this is a RARE sight. Funny, but not common. Why? you ask? Well because the SUN is UP, and BOTH girls are in their OWN beds!!! (for the most part... ha ha, who knows how Ry got in THIS crazy position):Awh, Sweet Sleepy Sisters:

Ha ha ha, this one I HAD to take... so funny. (now just imagine mom who climbed out of the middle of this mess... even funnier!)

Our girly's love to snuggle!

CUDDLY cuddly SISTERS!

Even though we sleep in, we still love our naps... even if it means catching one in the car:

Garden Planting Time again!

Time to Plant more in the Garden!!!

These girly's are quite the little gardeners. They worked hard, and for the rest of the summer and fall we will reap the rewards!

oh, and of course Milly can't forget to water the Garden! Ha ha ha:-)
Time to Rest after a Hard Day's Work for these Cutties:

Rylee's Jr. Preschool Graduation!

Graduation of our

neighborhood preschool...
Rylee Jo, 4 years old

all the little graduates:

the troop of mom's who ran the show:

and the little siblings in playgroup:

We had a really fun and successful year. It worked out really well. We met every week at Laurie's "preschool", and we each rotated teaching the curriculum Diana found for us! The kids learned so much. By the end of the year, they knew all their letters, sounds and how to right their name! (and the babies learned how to share- ha ha) Great work Mom's and Kids!

Memorial Day 2010

May 31st, 2010
Memorial Day
"Wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part...God has you in his arms. I have you in my heart."
We visited our Dear Uncle Brett's grave sight...
(the girls liked leaning on it because it was so warm:-)

We love you Bretty,
Love your baby sister Jamie Jo,
Steven, Rylee Jo & Amelia

Rylee's Dance Recital

May 22nd, 2010

FIRST DANCE RECITAL!!!
Rylee Jo is a natural dancer. Her dance teachers call her their "little Jazz Dancer", because anytime the music is turned on Rylee is jammin out to the beat! The weeks leading up to her first recital we talked about what it was going to be like- the big stage, lots of people, bright lights, etc- and went to a few other recitals so she'd have a better idea of what she was in for. And on her big day she marched right up on that stage with confidence and did such a great job. She was not one bit shy, scared or nervous performing in front of such a huge audience. She tap danced to the old song "Good Morning", and it was the most darling thing i'd ever seen, it just made me cry:)
Her Daddy was so proud!

Way to go, Rylee Jo!

Milly anxiously waited to watch her sister tap dance.
As Rylee walked out on the stage, Milly yelled out:
"dat's my Sista!"

After their big debut~

Sister brought a special present for Ry Ry...

ANGELINA BALLERINA!

Rylee's sweet friend Hannah came and brought a little gift too:

Rylee had both of her grandma's come to support her, as well as her aunt Kimmy & uncle Ben

What an exciting day for us all!!!

GOOD JOB SISTA'
