Rylee is 3!

Rylee, Rylee, Rylee. I'm not even sure how to describe this child sometimes. She seems much older than 3 most days and yet at other times still seems so much like my baby.  It's funny to me how two siblings can be so different yet so similar even down to their looks. Rylee has this crazy, curly, totally BLONDE hair. She is the skinniest little thing but can also be so powerful.  She is my child that prefers to stand back and observe before getting in the mix of things she is not certain of. Her facial expressions are hilarious and she has a huge love of babies.  This bodes well for us in about 5 months. ;)

How different life would be without our little Rylee Lou. She keeps us in line and on our toes, and while some days I would say different, we wouldn't have it any other way.

Happy Birthday to my favorite Middle Child!

Morgan's Preschool Graduation

I can't believe our little girl will be in Kindergarten next year!  I feel like I just brought her home. Now she knows all sorts of things like how to count to 100, her letters, shapes, colors, etc. We are so incredibly proud of her!  Below are some pictures on her last day of Preschool.

The next day was her preschool graduation ceremony. Unfortunately the class picnic beforehand had to be moved inside due to rain but everyone made do.  Afterwards the kids got dressed in their caps and gowns (so cute!) and had their little ceremony.

I can't believe how fast the past 2 years of preschool have flown!  We can't wait to see what the future holds for Morgan!

Tee Ball - Game One

Tee Ball has started again! This year Morgan and Mackenzie play on the same team.  How cute are they?  Below are some pictures of their very first game.  It was ridiculously cold. Go figure.

Wagon Trails Field Trip

We took our annual trip to Wagon Trails with Morgan's preschool class.  This year my parents both went with us, as did the Richmond family.  Much of the same was repeated from last year, number one being that Rylee hates animals.  Still not a fan of the whole wagon trip and feeding the animals.  She would prefer to just look on from afar.  Morgan on the other hand, was definitely more outgoing in feeding the animals this year.  Tenley wanted to stick her hands in all the cages and basically run a muck. 

It's a little bit of a drive to the east in Vienna, Ohio, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone with kids or even without kids!
