Rylee's 4th Birthday Blast!

I love this girl!  She lights up my life!  Here's a look at Rylee celebrating turning 4 years old.


 
The day before her birthday was a preschool day so Mom and  Rylee made chocolate cupcakes together.  Rylee helped put the sprinkles on top.

 
That night (birthday eve), the house was decorated.  Olaf, balloons, streamers, and the special birthday girl chair.

Streamers on Rylee's door was a hit!


 
Rylee shares her birthday with our backyard neighbor, Julia Troxell.  Julia turned 2.  Julia's mom, Michelle, made Rylee this birthday crown.  Later on Rylee and Julia had a shared birthday "sprinkle" at the park by our houses.  It was organized by Michelle.  Everyone sang to both of the girls and had pink frosted cupcakes and capri suns.  Sunglasses and necklaces were given out as favors.

Family time celebrating.


 
Rylee's birthday party was 3 days later on a Monday, so Mom got busy working on a fondant Olaf to put on top of a yummy vanilla cream Costco cake.  It turned out pretty well.
 


 
 
 Dad took a trip to the mountain Monday morning and came back with SNOW to add to the "Frozen" theme for the party.  It went over really well!



 
Saddest part ever was saying good-bye to Uncle Bryce.  He had to leave the party early to get set apart and then leave the next morning to go to Utah.  He entered the MTC 2 days later on Wednesday.  We will miss him, but we have had fun writing letters and we sent a package already.



Balloon Pinata!!  Candy and confetti filled fun.  Each kid got to poke one for a surprise!
 



Happy Birthday wishes!











 
We love you Rylee!


Talon's Field Trip to Red Rock

I didn't actually go on the field trip, but Talon forgot his backpack at home, so when I went to take it to him, I decided to snap some pics of his class getting ready to go.  He said the trip was fun!

Crazy Hair Day

Crazy hair day at Kitty Ward.  We didn't go too crazy, but these are some good looking kids!

Punishment, or not...

I absolutely love watching Talon read to Rylee.  I had to sneak this picture.  The deal is lately, if he is not nice to Rylee, he has to read a book to her.  So it's not technically a punishment.

Sand Dunes

Fun times at the sand dunes with family and friends.  The kids loved riding the four-wheelers and Uncle Jeff's Razor.  Digging in the sand and burying friends was their favorite though.  Oh, and roasting hot dogs and making smores!
