Grandma Great is great!

Rylee and her Grandma Great have
always shared a special bond.
Recently Grandpa had knee replacement
surgery. Rylee decided she would like to make
something special for Grandma to help her recover faster.
We went to hallmark and bought
a recordable story book.
I helped Rylee read and record the story
for Grandma all about how much she loves her.
This book made Grandmas day!
She showed it off to every visitor and worker
for her entire hospital stay.

While they listened to the book together
in Grandmas bed I snapped a couple
darling pictures of these purple loving gals:)

Watermelon toes

Ry has a new addiction...
getting a pedi with her Granny Kate and Mommy
Can you blame her when toes look this cute?

Cowabunga Bay

We went to the waterslides this week...

...Cute cousins enjoyed a cold tasty treat:)

Boating

We went boating up at Pineview last night
with Nana, Courtney, Uncle S and Aunt B,
Cousin Lauren, and the Browns!

Mama and Ry-Roo

Heart her

Everyone had a great time in the water!
We went tubing, surfing, and wake boarding

After all the fun on the water we could handle
we went back to our campground for
hobo dinners and s'mores!
This was Rylee's first time trying one
I think she liked it;)

Icee

Not much better on a hot Summer day then:
Blue Icee
Swimsuit
Friends
Shades
and...
waterslides;)

Jolleys Gymnastic tumbling

Ry is quite the tumbling queen these days.
I can often find her in the basement
practicing her skills.
She does cartwheels everywhere we go.
She would rather do them then walk.

Recently Rylee was in a gymnastics performance.
She did a FABULOUS job!
Her class had been practicing very hard
getting ready for the big day.
Rylee goes to gymnastics class twice
a week for an hour each day.

Stretching out

Andrew, Sarah, and Josh came to watch!
Josh was excited to give Rylee
her flower at the end of the show:)

Do your ears hang low

I am in
LOVE
with this girl.

Today we were driving to go grocery shopping;
Rylee started singing one of her
songs she learned at preschool.

Some of the songs she sings are new to me
(and often made up)
however, today I was well aware

"Do your ears hang low
do the wobble to and fro
can you tie them in a know
can you tie them in a bow
can you throw them o'er your shoulder
like a cotton noodle soldier
do your ears hang low"
