Sweet Girl!!!

Britt wasn't the only one to have a birthday in May! Rylie had hers too!!! We now have a 9 year old in the house - holler! She is such a sweet girl and a BIG helper! She choose to have her party at the roller rink. We had a 70's style party with tye dye clothing, and games and a lot of groovy skating. The pictures are not the best and I didn't even get a picture of her cake. It was so cute. It was tye dye with a big peace sign in the middle of it. Anyway.... it was really cute! Just 9 things we love about Rylie....

1. gorgeous thick red hair ( that she lets me fix it anyway I want).

2. her willingness to help ALWAYS!!

3. the way she plays the piano beautifully.

4. her hug she gives me EVERY morning before she does anything else.

5. her smile and wave she gives when I drop her off at dance for the 3 1/2 hours a week of dance she does.

6. her beautiful blue eyes.

7. her love of riding her pink bike.

8. that she loves her dad so much and is always so concerned about him.

9. her love of shoes. Rylie and I see eye to eye on this one, and since she is only a half a size away from being in the same size shoe as me we can soon share. Something Rylie has wanted to do for as long as I can remember. I just have to keep her away from the high heels!

H.A.G.S or hags

The kids took their yearbooks to school today for yearbook signing. As soon as they got them home I grabbed them and sat down to read what everyone wrote to my kids. This is all I saw......

Jacy

Madi

Payton

OK call me old but who the heck knows what hags means??? were they calling my sweet kids HAGS!!! I mean - RUDE!!!! So I call Rylie and Jackson into the room and ask them? They both laugh and think it's funny that I have no idea what H.A.G.S mean, then tell me it is short for HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!!!!!!!!! wow how times have changed. I mean we wrote things like..... hope you have a great Summer NOT h.y.h.a.g.s OR call me NOT c.m OR you are so good looking NOT y.a.s.g.l OR stay cute NOT s.c OR steph and britt forever NOT s.a.b.f

This guy right here.....

well, he just had a birthday on May 14th. Let's see..... I turned 29 in March so that makes Britt 28! In case you didn't know I robbed the cradle. Here is just a FEW awesome things about this special guy...

1. His all time favorite athlete is Micheal Jordan.

2. He has more self discipline than anyone I have ever met.

3. He eats grilled chicken twice a day (with nothing on it).

4. He has really big muscles (ask him to flex for ya).

5. He loves the Dallas Cowboys!

6. He could lie on a beach any beach in the sun all day and not get up for anything - even a drink.

7. He really does not like when I pinch him.

8. He loves. loves. loves. Clint Eastwood!!!!

9. His pop (grandfather) is his idol.

10. He is a penny pincher - if you ever need money advice he would be someone to talk with.

11. He loves me unconditionally always - even when I pinch him. That is saying alot, you outta try living with me.

12. I am pretty sure he cried when LOST ended.

13. He knows the scriptures up, down, sideways and backwards.

14. He looks really sexy bald!

and finally............. drum roll

15. He is going to buy a boat.

I had to add these last two pictures because this just might be worse than me pinching him. He is going to kill me. Don't you just love the one in the sombrero....... hilarious!

ps... he isn't really buying a boat. I just totally wanted to freak him out - remember #10?
