FINISHED!

After 13 weeks of waking up at 5:00am, leaving the house by 6:00am and not getting home until after 6:00pm most days, Jarred has completed the Bossier Sheriff's Academy!! His graduation was this morning at 10:30am and pretty much our whole crew went to his graduation. This was the largest class to graduate as of yet from their Academy, with 38 graduating. Jarred received the Academic Award for his excellent scores on his tests throughout the 13 weeks. We are SO proud of him!

Visit to MiMi & PapPaw's

I had to go to Ruston for a couple of days for training about a month ago, so Ryleigh tagged along with me and had some MiMi and PapPaw time. She enjoyed herself...especially the red wagon they had waiting for her. She practically lived in the red wagon for 3 days...I think she would have slept in there if I would have let her!

Finished Product

I FINALLY got around to painting Ryleigh's toy chest that my brother made for her for Christmas. It took several days to coat and sand it several times, but it turned out really good. Here are some pics!

Out Like a Light

So we came home a few weeks ago to find Ryleigh passed out on the couch...which she NEVER does. Guess she played a little too much that day.

Norton Family Pics

Saturday we had family pictures taken at Norton. Jarred's family and my parents joined us for a few pictures. We brought our camera along to take some pictures too. When we get the professional pictures in, I'll post those!

Ryleigh didn't like sitting in the grass too much!

Smooth Moves

So I had gotten Ryleigh in her pajamas tonight and was trying to get her to wind down for bed while Jarred and I were watching American Idol. All of a sudden she breaks out in dance moves we've never seen before. It was hilarious and I'm glad she kept doing it so I could grab the camera. This child makes us laugh out loud! I don't know where she comes up with some of this stuff! :)

Retirement Party

Ryleigh and I went to Ruston a couple of weeks ago to celebrate with my family for my Dad's retirement from LA Tech after 26 years. Unfortunately Jarred could not come with us as he is now half way through the academy! We had a good time at the party seeing family and friends. Of course Ryleigh stole the show and ran up to my Dad right in the middle of his speech to everyone. I blame my Mom as she was watching Ryleigh while I was taking pictures! :-) It was cute though. Wish I would have recorded it. Here are some pictures from the party.
