BUSY!

Wow! We had a busy couple of days...
Last Monday, Rob's Aunt MaryLee & cousin Karri stopped by so we went out to dinner
Tuesday, we went to a pool party at our neighbors then off to the park to watch Finding Nemo
Wednesday, we had a neighbor friend over for a little while
Thursday, we hit the fair (& stayed home during the day since daycare was closed)
Friday we played all day at home then Rylee & Mom went to the high school football game
Saturday, Mom & Sierra headed to Spokane for a dog trial, while Dad, Ry, Paul & Gus headed out to twin lakes to play in the lake and get prepped for the birthday bash that night!
Sunday, again at the dog trial with Rob & kids joining us along with Grandma Deb
Monday & Tuesday were spent getting Rob ready to head out to hunting camp as it is finally here...opening day is tomorrow!!!!! Happy Birthday to Rob!!! Can't wait to see what the next couple of days deliver!!!!

Go Sierra Go!

In 6 runs this weekend, Sierra qualified and placed in 5 (3 of them were 1st place, 1 at 2nd place and 1 at 4th place). To qualify means she gets a "leg" towards her title and then she can move up to the next class. She got her 3rd leg in Open JWW and will be moving to excellent JWW at the next trial. She also was awarded "high in class" on her title run which means she was the fastest dog in the that particular run! Go Sierra!!!!!

Kaia's Birthday Party (& Ryan & Rob's)

The 3 birthday kids (& Rylee) blowing out the birthday candles! And Again---Mary (Ryan's mom) put trick candles on the cake!

Football Game

Rylee & Mommy headed to the Lake City Varsity football game last Friday...she had to have her hair like a "cheerleaders"

The Fair

Me & the kids along with Grandma Vickie & Papa and Grandma Deb & Tom hit the fair at about 2:30! We went through all of the exhibits (goats, horses, bunnies, chickens, reptiles, garden) with this crew. Then Grandma Deb & Tom had to take off and Rob got off work and made it to the fair! Rylee and Paul then hit the rides! We had dinner somewhere in the middle of all of this then Rob & Paul headed home at about 8:30pm and Rylee and Mommy stayed until 9:30. By that time, Mommy was exhausted and had to make Rylee head home...wow! What a fun day!!!

Spin Art

Rylee and Mommy had fun doing spin art...her "masterpiece" is now displayed in a frame in her bedroom!!!!

One more time through the goats
Paul tried grabbing the poor goat's ear
Rylee LOVED these baby snakes...they were actually just hatched...there were more eggs in the middle starting to hatch

FAIR

We got hand stamps for the kids instead of buying the annoying tickets (we actually got a really good deal as we pre-bought them) It was well worth it!

2. Each player starts with eight random facts/stories about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

I've been Tagged

Well, I have been tagged by Kristen...so here we go:

1) When I was little, my brother used to put wrestling moves on me, practice karate kid on me (by that I mean kicking me in the face), but I would never tell because he would say "I didn't know it would hurt" and I thought he was so cool, that I wouldn't tell...by the way, I still think you are pretty cool!! :)

2) I am deathly afraid of fish...

3) The spot on my body that is the most ticklish is my ankles??

4) I started doing agility trials with my dog because she was jealous when my daughter was born.

5) My mom is my best friend

6) My favorite beer is "chill" by miller (of which I can only drink about 2 before I'm sloshed...not like the good ol' days, huh??)

7) I think my family is the best any girl could ever ask for (husband, kids, parents, in-laws)

8) My favorite hobby is photography and updating my blog!!!

I've only tagged Strobizzel because it's the only other person I know with a blog...

Another Visitor

Our neighbor, Ainsley, from down the street came over to play. Do you see a pattern in Rylee's clothes? Always in a dress and she seems to gravitate towards yellow...

Movie in the park

We got all bundled up and headed to the park to watch Nemo on the big screen. It was a lot of fun and we stayed up way too late!!!

Pool Party

We went to our neighbors down the road for a pool party...Ry was in the pool the entire time!
