Preschool

It is hard to believe that Ryleigh will start preschool in the fall!! Why is our little girl growing so fast?! We debated on a few preschools that we were deciding between, but ultimately are really excited about our choice for Ryleigh. Unfortunately for this preschool, Jarred had to camp out from a Sunday morning at about 10:00am until the Monday morning registration at 8:00am. The church was nice enough to let them inside for the day/night. Jarred ended up sleeping in his Tahoe, which it got pretty cold that night...but he survived. And we thank him for camping out! We are ready for the fall!
Here are some pictures from his camping adventure!
It was Super Bowl Sunday...at least they had a tv!


And at least they had a ping pong table!


The excitement eventually wore off... :)

Blogging Slacker

So I am WAY behind on blogging...we've been so busy here lately and I have NOT taken enough pictures of Ryleigh! We are so glad it's spring time and are enjoying the time change.
Here are some pictures of Ryleigh at A.C. Steere park last month when it was just a gorgeous day!
Excited to be going to the park!

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning, Ryleigh woke up a little after 7 and was ready to see what Santa had brought. Gifts from Santa...art table/easel and supplies, books, dvd's, and MOST imporantly...pink cupcake! Every time we would ask Ryleigh what she wanted Santa to bring her, she would say "pink cupcake". I think if he would have just brought her that, she would have been fine! :) Christmas morning I just made sure that she still wanted her pink cupcake...


Taking a peek around the corner to see what Santa brought!


She went right to the cupcakes! :)

After we had Christmas at our house, we headed over to Jarred's parents house. They had cooked their traditional breakfast that we all ate before opening presents.

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at Jarred's parents house with their traditional Christmas Eve Dinner...boiled shrimp, hashbrown potato casserole, Olive Garden salad, Logan's rolls and Popeye's biscuits! YUMMY! We ate dinner and then exchanged stockings. Every year we draw names for stockings (although we always end up knowing who has who!) and exchange them Christmas Eve night. Ryleigh loves passing out the stockings and helping out. This year she enjoyed opening her stocking with her little gifts from everyone.

Two of my favorite people!
