****GET FROM SMITH RAMBLINS BLOG...


Our visit to the great NW...

Me & the girls went with Daddy on his business trip & met up with cousins!

Evi loved having her cousins there to MATCH with her every second of the day, and night:) Rylee asked why she always wants to be twinners, and Evi simply replied: "Because Cousins Always MATCH!"

Evi was so excited to have her cousins sleep over in her new room!
They started the night with a SUPER-duper-SUDZY bubble BATH.
These bubbles kept on growing, and growing and GROWING, as our girls grew smaller and smaller...

Our slumber party continued, with matching jammies and pedi's:

Then side by side snuggled in Evi's new bed:

New Jammies, matching from bed-head...

down to their TOES!

As for the Boys... they enjoyed flying airplanes with uncle steve and playing video games and talkin sports.

The BIGGEST talk was Jadon and his big decision to NOT play in the first All-Stars baseball game on SUNDAY! What a great decision, and a great example.

However, we couldn't let this special day go by without driving around in the BEST DECORATED car in TOWN to show off our Marysville Nat'l All-Stars SPIRIT!

(you should have seen Matt pacing all day... it was worth the visit)

What Great Fun!

LaGOoN...

We LOvE "GA-LOON"
These 2 girls are CrAzY! They will ride any ride they are big enough for (and even some they are not QUITE big enough for:).

Rylee and Brodyn were really enjoying being buddy's on all the rides!


This is darling... love this photo! SO many laughs:)

Milly is not a bit scared of ANY ride, and even gets mad she can't ride bigger rides. But the Lady Bug Drop never fails to give her a good laugh!

Tilt-a-Whirl

SLEEPY HEADS!!!

Lets just say- wE LovE a goOd SumMeR sLeEp iN!!!
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
