Loyalty Day

Rylie recently won the VFW Loyalty award for her class. She drew a picture celebrating America and received her very first trophy. She had taken possession of an old baseball trophy of her dad's. She had this sitting on her headboard. After she got her own she didn't want his baseball trophy anymore. He was out of town and when he came home, found his old trophy on his dresser. It was very funny.
We were very proud of her. She had to speak in front of whole school about what her picture was about.

Coming soon!!!

Spring Soccer in Montana

Well, another spring soccer season has sprung in Montana. We are never sure of what the weather will bring. Will Rylie need to wear a winter jacket to play or shorts. It depends on the day. The first practice called for a winter jacket and was done in the snow. Yikes! The next week was shorts. Crazy. I think her team was the only one that didn't cancel practice in the snow. As I was standing in the snow watching her practice with other parents standing in the snow, I thought, "What am I doing? They are five, if we miss a practice I don't think it will make too much difference. " She had her first game this past Saturday. This is the first time she has played using a goalie and I think she liked being the goalie. It was very fun to watch.

Happy Easter, Part 2

Here are the rest of the Easter photos!

Happy Easter

Easter has come and gone again this year. It seems like the year just started and now we are almost a third of the way through the year. We traveled to Miles City for Easter. Rylie was in Miles City for the week of Spring Break just prior to Easter so she was excited to see us. We went to an Easter Egg hunt in the park and then another Easter activity at the nursing home where the residents handed out candy, eggs, and little toys. It was very nice. It wasn't fantastically warm, but we didn't have to wear winter coats either. Such is Easter in Montana.
