Looking forward to updating everyone on life. But, first I need to get everything back on track and replace the usb cord for our camera. Some little cutie broke it. The blog should be up and running soon. Keep checking!!

Graduation 2008

Graduation

Wow!!! Today was a big day for my two little girls! Both Maizie and Madilyn had their graduations. Maizie is headed into first grade ( holy cow) and Madie is headed to Kindergarten. It was such a great day. The girls were so excited and the younger little ones loved watching what was going on. Cooper really looks forward to graduating, he was talking about it all day!
Maizie-
She had a great year this year I am so proud of her. Though she had to move schools right at the beginning of the year she has done great. I have learned what a sweet and giving girl she is. Throughout the year we had a few issues, none were related to her schooling only with friends. No, she isn't being mean or bullying. She is the girl who would give anything, and I truly mean anything to someone. She loves to have friends, in her class she met a very sweet girl, as well and has really enjoyed her this year. I just hope they are in first grade together. Maizie is off and reading and is doing well. It is fun to see her reading the books I loved as a kids. But, she loves her AJ's (aunt Jess) favorites the Berenstien Bears. She is really loving to read, write and for some crazy reason she loves math.
Madilyn-
What a fun and spunky girl she is. Madie is all about school. Not so much for the learning but she loves the socializing. During the week we would always talk about what was going on in school. she never really wanted to talk about what she learned she just liked to talk about what she would need to wear the next day to match someone.What a great little preschool she was in this year. Ms. Tiffany truly loves what she is doing, and Madie really loved her. She is looking forward to kindergarten, mostly because she gets to eat at school, but I am hoping she will want to learn a little more.

Both girls did a wonderful job and we love them so , so , much!

Hit Me Baby One More Time

The Dancing Girls





On Monday, May 5th the girls had their dance recital. There is a girl in our Ward who does a little dance class once a week. Maizie and Madilyn loved the class and they loved their teacher Mykee. Maizie really had fun dancing and she loved that she wasn't in the "little kids" class. Madilyn did such a great job we were so excited to actually watch her dance. I am so proud of the girls. I love watching them enjoy the things they are interested in. I wish everyone could have been their but, I hope you all enjoy the pictures and videos.

Father and Son Campout

Father - Son Campout 2008





Well this past weekend Cooper got to spend a little one on one time with dad. He had a blast. He not only got to hangout with his dad , but he made a new best friend.( he hasn't stopped talking about his new friend Gavin) Ryan has some pretty funny stories about the little campout but, for now I figured I could put up some pictures. You may wonder what the girls and I did. Well, Maizie went to a Dbacks game with her Aunt and Madie went to the mall with me. For all you who know Madie going to the mall would beat out anything, maybe even Disneyland. She is truly born to shop. Anyways, Cooper is pretty cute in the pictures. When it was time for bed he even went to bed with a smile. ( he actually told his Dad he was tired and wanted to go to bed) I am so grateful for times like these. I love Ryan and Cooper so , so , so much and am so happy they got to spend a little father son time. ( p.s. hope that doesn't sound bad because I love all my kids more then anything)

Was it Rylie?


When we were in Dallas, we went into downtown to the sight of JFK's assassination! Look what I saw, Rylie Ann over in the Grassy Knoll. She isn't old enough to have done it , but she sure was being sneaky. For those of you who haven't been there, they actually have a huge yellow sign that says "GRASSY KNOLL." I am guessing some people couldn't figure out where it is , but it is the only grass area next to a freeway. Oh well...

Went to Texas




This past weekend I headed to Texas for my big brother's graduation! He is officially a police officer! I am so proud of him ( and his wife Michelle, I know what it is like to support your husband while in school!). Rylie and I had such a good time. I really miss hanging out with my fam, especially my big Sis! I just love her! I hope to see them soon! I can't believe how fast life seems to go.
