I Heart U

Since Rylee is at school more now, she gets less time with me and everyone else. She's been a little down lately. She needed to know that I still love her and care about her despite our sepation. This morning we wrote "I love you" into each others hands (her hand writing is so good I can hardly tell the difference between hers and mine). It was a sweet morning. I told her that during the day today, every time we look at our hands we will remember how much we love each other. And I told her that she will always be in my heart even if I can't see her. And this is tired Taylee taking a nap in my bed later that day. Sweet sweet girls I have.

Coasters 1st Game!

I love watching Rylee out on the field! She is aggressive and technical...and silly, of course. She is one of the best players on her team.

Bike Riding

I love this picture of my littlest girls. This is what they look like riding in the trailer behind my bike everyday to and from Silva Valley. What a workout! But they are the cutest!

Funeral Procession for Staff Sgt. Sky R. Mote

What a sad and proud day. Sgt. Mote was a fallen hero who lived in El Dorado Hills. The streets were lined with people he knew and didn't know. We are grateful for his selfless sacrifice for this wonderful country we live in. God Bless America!

Summer Games

Every couple of months Technique Gymnastics has a little mini meet where the girls perform their routines they have been working on. Rylee is not on a competitive team, but this is just a motivation thing for the girls. She did such a great job and I could tell she has been working really hard!!

Rylee's First Day of 1st Grade

Rylee could not be more excited for her first day of first grade at Silva Valley! She feels like such a big girl because now she goes all day to school. I am sad as I will miss her terribly. She was such a joy to have around and I will miss her smiling beautiful face. Her teacher is Mrs. Tyler and Rylee loves her already.

On the Lake

Brody is such a great babysitter! Today I had to do something and Jon was on duty. He always does such a great job. Later this same day we went out on the Folsom Lake. We had a such a great time. It's so nice that we live so close that we can take a half day mid week and be at the lake in 10 minutes and still get in some fun in the hot sun!

Getting better...

Flexibility is not my children's forte. Stretch! Stretch I say! Oh, but they are getting so much better!

Grandpa Little's Birthday

Today we had a surprise birthday party for Grandpa Little at his house in Discovery Bay. All the kids hid and jumped out with "SURPRISE!" They had such a great time together! Tom decorated Dad like the Burger King guy, weird. Then we had lunch and went swimming all day long. He had no idea and had a great time.
