2nd Grade Movie Project

Rylie had to do a movie project in 2nd grade this year. Here it is! She did a great job!

Junior Bees!

Now that Rylie has turned 8 she gets to go to Achievement Days. This is a activity at our church for girls between the ages of 8 - 11. She went last night to her second activity and they made these cute flip flops for the 4th of July. I had to post a picture! She is so excited to be old enough to go and I am so excited she has such great leaders! :)

Oooooo......least favorite day of the year today!!!

I don't use the
H
A
T
E
word very often (pretty much never), but I am going to use it today.
This was shopping and trying on swimsuit day for me. Ooooo how I
H
A
T
E
this day every year!! Awful, bad attitude, down on myself day. See! See what it does to me? It justifies me using the "H" word.

It's really GREAT to be 8!!!

Rylie turned 8 on May 22nd! It is really hard to believe that many years have passed us by. What a blessing this little girl has been to our family! She will be baptized in June and she is really getting excited for that. Both sets of grandparents are coming and Uncle Craig and Aunt Tara are making the long trip too! We can't wait!

For Rylie's birthday she invited 3 friends to spend the night. We went to the movie Night at the Museum II, dinner and then came back home for cake and ice cream. She had a great birthday! Happy Birthday SWEET Rylie!!

Now, if I can just get over the fact that I have a child old enough to be baptized - I feel old!

Piano

Rylie had her Spring Piano Recital in April. This was her 4th recital. She is moving right along and still really enjoys it! Let's hope she sticks with it!

MIRACLE in the Richardson garage!!!

Some of you might think this is not worth blogging about, but some of you who know Britt will totally understand why it made it onto our blog.......


After 15 years, yes I said 15.... Britt has a new car!!! Yes all, you heard me right, he really did it! I know it is hard to believe. That is why I am calling it a miracle. He came home from work the other night didn't even tell me he bought it. Just came in the house and acted like nothing miraculous had happened. I just happened to go into the MIRACLE garage and there it was sitting right in the spot that old 15 year old car used to be in. I have to tell you I let out quite a scream and probably scared our neighbors.

Just a little background for you who don't really know my Britt. What are those people called that can't stop buying or getting rid of stuff? Hoarders I think? Well, I would call him a money hoarder. He just has a really hard time spending it. He has saved and saved for this new baby. I think enough to buy 7 or 8 of these cars, but he has not been able to do it. Until our miracle Thursday. He actually has a car now that has air conditioning/heat and headlights that work. Actually the headlights did work only on high beam though! Crazy the thought, I know. So congratulations to Britt - it was a really big step. Good Job! I won't say what the make and model is, cause it doesn't really matter, but it is black (our favorite car color) and pretty darn sleek!!!!!!

Straight from the mouth of Rylie....

Today I came up to get on the computer and this is what I found - typed by Rylie

SWINE FLU

Today at my house I heard (on the news) that there are school's shut down for a week (including mine) because of the SWINE FLU. It says that the SWINE FLU came from Mexico. A girl at my school named Grace called it the Slime flu. Also it mentioned that our school is shut down for a week too. (THE SWINE FLU IS DANGEROUS ENOUGH TO KILL US). But at least I am safe at home.
