More of Rylie's 5th birthday!!!

Happy Birthday to our Rylie!!!

I can't believe my baby is 5! She is so grown up and we have had many discussions on the fact that 5 year olds don't pout, whine, cry, fight with their sisters, or go to time out. So far it isn't working so well but maybe by the time we get through this year we will have her convinced.

Rylie is a beautiful girl and we are so happy to have her as part of our family. She is such a great big sister and is super excited to have another little sister. She is very proud that she will get to be a big helper now that she is 5.


I love this picture! You can see that she had a GREAT time celebrating her birthday with her friends.











Thank you to everyone who came to share her 5th birthday with us. We had a great time! And thanks to Torri & Josh for letting us borrow the water slide. We really have great friends!!

Happy 5th Birthday!!!!

Today Rylie had her 5th birthday party. This year she chose to have a friend party with the them of Ariel.

Here are a couple of pictures of her cake. More pics to come as soon as Ev imports the photos from his camera.

I wrote my name!!!!!

This morning while the girls were coloring Saige surprised me by saying "Mom, look I did an 'S.'" She then asked what letter to do next and to my shock she wrote her name. You can kind of make out the letters in the picture. It is written backwards but they are there.

Good Job Saige!!!

Checkers?

Yesterday morning Rylie was so excited when she realized that it was her birthday.

Mom : "Rylie, its your birthday...what would you like to do today?"

Rylie: "Well, there are so many things we could do...like...play checkers!"

Mom; "Play checkers?" "Have you ever played checkers before?"

Rylie; "Not yet"


I thought it was so funny that of all the possibilities she came up with playing checkers, a game that she has never played and that we don't own.

Happy Happy Birthday to Rylie

Yesterday was Rylie's 5th birthday. I can't believe my little girl is already 5 and will be going to kindergarten soon. We had a fun day and Rylie got to chose where we went for dinner. She chose Iggy's because she remembered the ice cream that comes with their kids meals.


Rylie was pretty excited when the employees came and sang to her and brought her ice cream. I love the look she gave Evan while they were singing to her.
