Fall is fun!

I've been behind posting, so I thought I would catch up a little bit. Rylie is enjoying school but all day kindergarten is very tiring. We live close to the school so we walk there every morning. She is getting so big and mature! She's doing great in school. She's playing soccer and loves it. Her team is the yellow one.

Rori is adjusting to not having Rylie around but asks everyday, "Where Rylie at?" I always tell her she is at school, but she keeps asking. She loves to imitate her big sister and when we drive by the school during the day, she yells "Hi Rylie!"
She wants to do everything Rylie does.

Look Mom!

So, we were getting ready to travel to visit Miles City the Friday before Labor day. I was getting everything loaded and waiting to get Rylie from school and Mark home from work. Rori took the time to look through my nightstand and this was the result:


She of course got it on her shirt, so I had to wash it before we left. She was very proud of her makeup abilities and actually got some of it on her lips. She also tried to apply lipstick to the family photo behind her. Funny monkey!

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!
