It's only a little pink

Well, I was hoping I was pregnant, but figured it was just wishful thinking, but I took a test today and although the 2nd line only a little pink, it is positive. I will get another and retest in the morning to make sure.

We are excited and scared. Hopefully everything will be fine w/ this one. After I test again I will call my doc as she will see me much sooner than the normal 10 weeks because of the miscarriage.

Will keep this updated.

Rylee wins!

This is from July when we first got the Wii. I could never get it on here to share until now. Couldn't even get it on you tube. Enjoy....

Pics from the fieldtrip

The fieldtrip was AWESOME!!! They took the kids up in the ladder bucket. Here's some pics! Halloween tomorrow - yippee. Will post pics of that later.

1st Fieldtrip

Tomorrow is Ry's first fieldtrip. They are going to the nearby fire station to check out the hot firemen. Oh! Sorry, that will be me. They will be learning important fire safety stuff I am sure.

Then on Saturday is her schools Good Neighbor Fair or whatever it is called. Not a Halloween party of course, it's a Christian church. There are fireworks and games and stuff though.

Sunday we may drive up to Sedona to see Grama Jan who will be there w/ her husband and his parents. If not, we will see Grama anyway when she comes down for Halloween. Then we'll see Grama again for a whole week around Thanksgiving.

It was school picture day today, so I will post those when we get them back.

Power Rangers

Today we went to see the Power Rangers. They are on tour right now. LOL. It was in a Wal-Mart parking lot and totally free so it was awesome for this broke family.

They had one of those money blowing games where the kids try to grab as much money as they can. The kids both won in thier age group so they each got a Power Ranger toy, so Ry actually got 2, because her brother is so nice.

She got to meet the Red Ranger and the Black Ranger and she had lots of fun.

I said it wouldn't happen, but.....

I am actually taking my sweet daughter to Utah. My mom is retiring and my Grandma on my Dads side is also in town at the same time. It works out well. I am excited and happy to see my Grandma and have Rylee meet her. Not so much about going to my moms. Oh, I'm happy she is retiring of course, more time for her to be here. I am just not excited to go to her house. I tried to get out of it, I tried to get us to stay at hotel, but she wasn't going for it. I am hoping it will all be ok, as long as those people stay away liek they are supposed to. Ry will get to ride on the quads and a horse so she is thrilled.

Nothing much

My Grama Jan is coming tonight for a whole week!!!! Maybe I'll be nice to her this time to keep her guessing.

Mommy says if I am good, I get to stay up late and go to airport to pick her up.

She'll share my room w/ me, so I'll get to sleep in the big air bed w/ her, it's FUN!!!

Mommy has been talking about painting my room. Guess she is as sick of Curious George as I am - FINALLY!!!!! She says we can paint and I can pick out more super hero posters if I want to hang on the wall. I already have Wonder Woman, it's cool!!

I started swimming lessons on Monday w/ my cousin and 1 of my friends. My teacher is my preschool teacher so it's lots of fun. I already know how to swim, well enough to get around anyway. I can even dive to the bottom of the deep end, it hurts my ears though. It's really gonna freak out my Grama Jan when she sees me do that.

OK, I love you BYE!!!

It's been awhile

Well, it's been awhile since I last updated. Ry's turtle died. It was very sad and she still talks about missing 'Shelly'. She has a new pet though, a pretty little Beta fish from her bud Kenny as he couldn't move it w/ him to Florida.

School and soccer are both over and now the summer is here. We'll probably do swim lessons at home w/ one of her pre-school teachers. She already swims pretty well, but maybe she can learn some better technique.

Ry is very excited to be a big sister! She argues with me that it is her baby. She started off wanting a little brother like Kenny, but now says she wants a little sister.

2 things

I finally broke down and chopped about 4 inches off Ry's hair.....



She also got her first pet today, a red slider she has named Shelly.

All about my Daddy

This past Saturday was Daddy day at Ry's school. The teachers had all the kids fill in the blanks to talk about the Daddys. Here is Ry's.

My Daddy is the best Daddy in the world because:

My Daddy works at Dad's work saying hi to Uncle Rob.

My daddys favorite food is sandwichs.

My daddy and I always play UNO Spin together.

My daddy is 5 Years old.

I'm going to Disneyland

WOO HOO!

We're going to Disneyland again for Ry's birthday. My travel agent special is way to good of a deal to pass up when it comes around. Luckily Grama agrees, so she pays for it and we all have a great time. We should have our income tax return by then, so like last time we can not worry about money while there.

I'm so excited. We'll be in Disneyland on her birthday, so I have to check into this....

3 year old soccer

Ry had her first game on January 6, it was actually 2 back to back games. 3 year old soccer is hilarious! Her 1st goal scored, me and some other parents were behind the goal to direct our team to the right goal, and when we all cheered for her after the goal she froze and didn't move until I told her it was ok to go ahead and keep playing. Her 2nd goal I missed somehow, but Daddy says another girl on her team was hanging onto her and she just drug her along w/ her to score the goal. I have no idea what the final scores were for either game, they don't really keep track. I know our team got creamed in the first game though.


Here are some pics!

Thank you Santa!

Christmas was great! I have my Grama Jan here for 10 whole days. I got everything I wanted from Santa. My Grandma Linda, Aunt and cousin were here to open presents. Uncle Phillip was late, but that's normal, he got to be here for most of the opening of presents.

I am sure my Mom will post pictures soon.

Silly pics

Here are some silly pics and a preview of her 1st school picture - man she's BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Another funny

Today was picture day for Ry at pre-school. No snacks needed today, as they would be having something. So here is a conversation about today....

Mommy: So, Rylee what did you have for snack today?

Rylee: Fish and bread

Mommy: Fish and bread?

Rylee: Yes, Mommy, fish and bread, you know like Jesus.

Mommy: Oh yes, like Jesus, and who is Jesus Rylee?

Rylee: I don't know.

It doesn't sound as funny in print, but I thought it was rather amusing. Yes, Phillip I am talking about Jesus, that guy you don't believe in, not some random mexican. She goes to a Christian pre school , not some pre school in the projects that you grew up in.

Anyway, here is a crappy cell phone pic of my girl for picture day, and I might add she was the best dressed one there!

Kids

Tonight before bed, Taylor and Rylee kept playing and being crazy and we had already told them several times it was quiet time, since it was almost bed time.

The last time David told them if they didn't settle down there would be spanks on the butt and maybe he would ground them. Rylee burst into tears and ran around sobbing. We didn't know why being grounded would upset her so much as she doesn't even know what it means.

I stopped her and asked why she was so upset, and she said "Daddy said he was going to drown me." After I stopped laughing I told her no he was going to ground her and explained that would mean she wouldn't be able to play w/ her toys or have any fun while she was grounded. SHe was fine with that.

Good night!

It's getting chilly

Saturday - we went to the zoo. We played w/ some new friends for Rylee. We rented one of the big bikes and rode around for a bit. It was chilly out but we dressed warm and had fun.

Sunday - Grandma was wonderful and came to watch Rylee for the day so we could go up to Payson for Uncle Todd and Aunt Stephi.

Monday - we had Connor too and Grandma met us at Burge King so the kids could eat and play. Once Connor gets picked up we will head to Sam's Club or Costco for some shopping.

Picture day is coming up in pre school. I was able to get Halloween day off to go to her Teddy Bear picnic. WIll share pics when I have them.

Update

We did finally make it to the free class at The Little Gym. She had so much fun. We then went to a dance studio that is affordable, where The Little Gym is not right now. Got the schedule for classes. Later that night I asked her if she wanted to take Dance lessons or play soccer, and she wants to play soccer. It is too late to sign up for fall season, so we'll sign up for the winter.

She loves school still. She is bringing home some artwork every week. I will start a scrapbook just for her pre-school days that will include all the artwork. So far all the artwork except for one is just the right size for a scrapbook.

She has picture day this month and show and tell the same day. For Halloween, as it is a Christian pre-school, there isn't a Halloween celebration, but they are having a Teddy Bear picnic. The kids bring their Teddy Bears to class and they will make the snack that day in class and have the picnic outside w/ the bears. I am going to try to get that day off and go with her.

Then of course we are up to Halloween where she will be Mystic Force Blue Ranger.

We went to put some stuff for Christmas on layaway at Wal-Mart last weekend. Of course we had Ry w/ us, so I had to lie to her and tell her all the stuff was for her friend Emmaly.

That's about it for now.

1st day of school

Here are a few pics of the first day of school. She LOVES going to school.
