Rylee & Brody's Mini Meet

Today Rylee and Brody had another mini meet to show us what she's been learning!  This was Brody's first time showing us his routines and he did great as well.  He is so strong!  Rylee did a great job and we are so proud of all their hard work!  We know it is not easy and you two are getting stronger and stronger every day!  Keep up the hard work!

A Funeral and 2 Birthday Parties

This morning was Coach Ingram's memorial service at Washington High School.  Jon played football for him and had a great appreciation for him.  Afterwards we all went to the Skubal's house to celebrate Johnny and Jakie's birthday!  Happy #36 to Johnny and #3 to Jakie!  We had a great time!  Happy Birthday!

No Child Left Inside Day

Today was Rylee's "No Child Left Inside Day" at school.  I wasn't able to help out but Megan Patrick was there sending me pictures.  Thanks!  She is such a cutie!  Also this is what Rylee brought home in her Friday folder today.  It brought tears of joy to my eyes.  The assignment is that she is given a word and she is supposed to come up with her own sentence about it and illustrate it.  This is was she wrote, "My Mom and Dad are together forever."  Technically we are not yet, but we are on our way to being together forever.  This is girl is so sweet and has a wonderful spirit about her.  I love you so much Rylee!

Chick-fil-a

This is Rylee's spring school picture.  Compared to the beginning of the year, she is getting more and more grown up.  I love this little...big girl!  For dinner we went to Chick-fil-a for some grilled chicken nuggets, a free carriage ride and a we even met Cinderella and her Prince!  The kids had a great time!

Station 24 Community Open House

Jon has been working on this project for a couple weeks now.  He was assigned to host and organize a community open house to educate the public. We went to support him and have a free donut.  Jon did a great job putting it all together! I'm sure his chiefs were proud! Taylee couldn't get enough of the fire dog.  She just wanted to hug him the whole time!  Brody and Rylee loved trying on all the turnouts and SCBA's. 

Sisters, Sisters...

They were never such devoted sisters! I think they might be close as they grow together.  Well I at least hope so.

Messy Baby!

Today we had dinner with the wonderful Bakken family!  Jon was in the fire academy with Tim.  Thanks for dinner and good company!  Britlee loves food!!!  She is our garbage disposal.  I think if I let her, she would eat and eat and eat until she'd throw up.  I don't want to chance it though. She can eat more than Brody and Rylee who are many years older!! We love you messy baby!

Oma's Birthday and 1st Baseball Game

Happy Birthday Oma!  Thanks for coming up yesterday to spend sometime with me on my birthday and staying for some fun at Fairytale Town and the baseball game!  Thanks for the workout clothes!  I know they will come in handy as soon as I can fit into them!  HA! HA! 

Today is also the Red Sox first baseball game and Brody is super excited!  He did GREAT! Thanks to Jon's family coming up to support him too!  We are so proud of you Brody!
