A fun Week

This week was quite eventful. We started back to preschool and dance classes, which Jaycee was excited for. She was even moved front and center in her dance class place assignment because her teacher said she is the best and wants the other girls to be able to watch her.   Besides getting back into our regular routine we also did many other activities, and I got a job. Yes, it is true, I got a job. It is temporary and very part time (only 10 hours a week), but I am really excited for it. I am going to be working for the March of Dimes helping with their March for Babies event - I get to work with the family teams, which will be so much fun!

During the week were went to Gavin’s birthday party (Gavin is my nephew). He had his party at one of the new McDonald’s with the really cool playlands.  

 

The girls spent many hours this week rockin’ out to their Hannah Montana dance along:

  

The girls did their usual arts and craft thing. Jaycee asks for a craft project every day, and spends lots of time drawing, coloring, glueing, making cards, etc.

   

And, Jaycee’s car seat fell apart so she got to go pick out a new one. I was hoping her old one would last until she hit the 40 pound mark, but oh well. She loves this new one with pink and purple flowers!  Rylee kept asking “where’s mine?”, the poor girl is stuck with her boring old gray carseat.

         

And, on Saturday we took the girls to Build-a-Bear workshop (thank’s Woods fam) and the girls both made some new stuffies.  They had so much fun.

     

    

Jaycee named hers “Hello Kitty” (imagine that), and Rylee named hers “Cookie Bear”.

    

After Build-a-Bear we went to play with the girl’s cousins at my sister’s house and had a lot of fun there, then headed back home.  After dinner the girls wanted to have a Sleepover with their new stuffed friends:

It was a great week!

Happy Birthday Rylee!

Okay, so I wanted to post this a little sooner but I have been busy having fun. Rylee celebrated her second Birthday on Saturday!

She absolutely loves Strawberry Shortcake and when we gave her some options she chose having a Strawberry Shortcake party, which is just what we did. She doesn’t have too many friends here in Utah yet, so most of our guest list were her little cousins.

We decorated the house as “Strawberryland” and played games themed around the characters. Here are some of our pics:

We had eight different “berry bushes” with prizes for the kids to pick and add to the basket they made earlier.

We served “strawberry” and “honey pie pony” sandwiches with lots of fruit and other things…

opening presents

Jaycee picked out a great present for her sister all by herself. She gave her a Disney Princess notebook and a Strawberry Shortcake doll.

Rylee got 3 Strawberry Shortcake dolls and absolutely loved them!

She also loved her Hannah Montana doll.

And Grandma Wales gave her a car ramp. We have been looking everywhere for a car ramp like they used to make. Craig’s mom has one that he played with when he was young and it is awesome, but not in the best shape. We were so happy to find something fun for Rylee. She loves car ramps and they have been so hard to find!

Here is her cake… we made a simple strawberry shortcake.

Happy birthday!

She loved playing with her toys and all of her friends.

Here is Gentry waving goodbye.

And Todd and Makenna saying goodbye.

It was Aunt Jenni’s birthday too! How fun Rylee gets to share her birthday with her really cool aunt. Happy birthday Jenni - you are awesome!

Later Rylee got to open more presents with just our small family at home (with G-ma & G-pa of course).

Rylee was WAAAY excited for her new laptop! She is always wanting to play with Jaycee’s, so it was great to have her very own!!! She kept closing it and then opening it back up, and every time she would pull this excited face! It was too cute.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYLEE!

We love you so much and we are so glad you are a part of our family!!!
