Rylee's Dance Recital

Rylee had her second dance recital last night. Her group danced to "Shake a Tail Feather".

These are from the finale where they danced to "everybody dance now". Rylee was right in the middle in the front and she entertained the entire audience.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful moms out there (especially mine...we miss you). So far, my Mother's Day has been wonderful. Rob and the kids washed my car for me yesterday! Then, I slept in until 7:30 this morning (heaven?) and when I came downstairs both of my kids came running at me yelling Happy Mother's Day! Then Rylee walked me over to my beautiful flowers and new "mom" neckalace (that I LOVE!). Hope everyone is as happy as I am to be a mom! Love you all!

Great Grandpa

On Friday afternoon my Great Grandpa broke his hip and had a hip replacement late Friday night. Please keep him in your prayers for a fast recovery! (by the way, he is 99 years old)

Below is a picture taken in June of 2006 (I was 8 months pregnant with Paul) with 5 generations: Great Great Grandpa Vanderbilt, Great Grandma Miller, Grandma Vickie, Mommy Gina, and Rylee.

Boise Trip

The kids and I took a roadtrip to Boise to visit the fam down there. Here are some pictures from our trip! My niece is a cutie pie...as you can tell! :)

Here is my sweet little Evie. Here are her 2 teeth (one poked through on April 15th and one on April 18th)

The Boise Zoo

The kids and I headed down to Boise for a long weekend to visit family. On Friday, we met up with Aunt Mara and cousins Elise and Micah and went to the Boise Zoo. The kids had such fun seeing all of the animals!
