Boating with Kreider's

At the end of August we went to Michigan for the weekend at the Kreider's. They bought a boat this year and took us out on the lake with them.

Brad with the girls (they did not want to take their fingers out of their mouth for a picture)

Love this one of these 2 beauties!

Sadie's ready to get on the boat

This was Rylee's first time tubing. I was actually pretty shocked that she wanted to go. She did a great job! She didn't cry or anything, I was so proud of her. I think she was trying to be a big girl like Maddy...she really looks up to Maddy. After they went together than I took my turn and went with Maddy and then I went with Rylee. It was fun with the girls!

Maddy and Rylee holding on for dear life :)

Rylee all smiles after a day out on the lake.

Another sweet picture of these cuties.

We tried to get a picture of all 5 of the girls. Not so easy.

Take 2...Poor Kynzee, she was done by this point.

We had a great weekend with the Kreider's! Boating with them was a blast! Of course after spending the day on the lake we topped it off with a stop at Dairy Queen on the way back to the Kreider's. Good times!

Rylee's 3rd Birthday - Tinkerbell Party!

Rylee loves Tinkerbell so that's what we went with as the theme for her 3rd birthday party! We decided to have the party at home but rent a bounce house for the kids. Rylee was so excited, she absolutely loved it! Her expression on her face when she walked outside and saw it the first time was priceless!

Tinkerbell balloon and shirt...did I mention she loves Tinkerbell.

Rylee and Kayleigh bouncing away (I thought it was cool that I got this pic with them both in the air)

All the kids having fun bouncing!

Sadie even went in there with the big kids. But it was hard for her to balance and not get flown around in there.

She decided it was easier just to crawl around in there.

Rylee and Brooklynne

Good buddies!

Sadie taking a timeout from jumping to eat her pizza.

Time for cake!

When I took this picture she was yelling "Happy Birthday to me!"...I love it!

Opening presents with her friends.

"Cheese"

Giving Olivia thank you hugs

Rylee had such a great time at her party. She talked about her party forever after that and will still bring it up even now (2 months later). I'd say it was a success! Happy Birthday Babe!

Catching up

I'm trying to catch up finally. I know I will never stay totally caught up but I would like to be with in a month rather than 3 or 4 months behind. Its just so nice to have a "journal" to look back on so I defintely want to keep it going. It helps me for my scrapbooking too (if I ever find time for those). I just posted 3 new posts. I had started them back in August with loading all the pictures but I just never went back and wrote about them until now. Aggh, what can I say...life is busy...but we sure do enjoy it!
