Memory Moment - Rylee and Julia

Rylee and Julia have known each other since they were born. Julia actually was at my baby shower when I was pregnant with Rylee. These 2 girls are now in the same class in kindergarten and have become very close. It is so cute watching their relationship grow!

Rylee's Party

Rylee LOVES hosting little parties for her girlfriends. On Saturday, she had some girlfriends over and they did a little craft project and then played dress up, then played outside (by then one girl had left and Paul had come home from playing with equipment with Rob). Here are 4 of the girls and Paul (Gabby, Rylee, Julia, Paul and Jenna)
