K is for Kindergarten

Well, Rylie is officially a kindergartener and she loves it. The night before I asked her if she had any questions about it before she went to bed. She told me she couldn't wait to see what it was like and she imagined it was like high school (obviously she's been with mom and grandma at high school a lot). She did great as we walked over to the school and when it was time to leave her, she went right in to the classroom and sat down and didn't look back! It was me who cried on the way back to the house. When she got home the first day she was very tired and went down to bed about 2 hours before she normally would. She couldn't fall asleep and was very frustrated because she couldn't wait to go back to school! I think she will be exhausted tonight! Take a look at the pictures!

5 Alive!

Well, she did it! Rylie turned 5 on July 6th! She has gotten so tall and grown up this summer. She can hardly wait for kindergarten and has learned to ride her bike this summer as well. She had her first "friends party" which was a lot of fun. I'll post more pictures of birthday soon!

My Girls

This week my girls went with Grandma and Grandpa for the whole entire week. This is the first time I have been away from them for any length of time other than a night or so. I have the best children in the world, and yes, I am biased. It is so quiet around my house without them. I don't really know what to do with myself, although I'm sure that I can come up with a few things (weed the garden, laundry, sewing, napping, nothing, cleaning, reading, etc.) I feel so very blessed to have them in my life and love them endlessly. I found myself walking through the toy aisle at the store yesterday even though I had no one to talk about the toys with. Rylie is getting so grown up and smart. She amazes me everyday with everything she knows. Rori is a ball of fire and loves to bug her sister already, but they are still the best of friends. Rylie does a great job of playing with Rori and helping with her. I couldn't have asked Heavenly Father for two better children Love you, Ror and Ry!

Crazy month!!!

We've been busy over the last few weeks! The girls and I went to Miles City to visit our family and go to the Bucking Horse Sale while Mark was out of town. Then when Mark got back he participated in a sprint triathalon. He took 19th overall out of about 70+ participants. Then the next Saturday, we all participated in the Governor's Cup races in the snow and rain. Check out the video I made. The next week, we went to Coeur D'Alene, ID for Mark to do an adventure race. He met his buddy there and they kayaked, ran, mountain biked, and orienteered their way through Farragut State Park. It was a beautiful place. We went on the park tour for the girls on the way there so they enjoyed it too. I think that is all the racing we've done so far.
