Ry's first day at preschool




Rylie has been so excited to start preschool this year. She started at the preschool that I work at (at our gym). She found it so hard to wait for school when the brothers started and she didn't. Finally it came and she was up at 6am waiting to get ready to go. She didn't even eat her breakfast because the excitement was just too much. I thought she might be a little shy to head in, maybe needed me to walk her all the way in...but not so much! I had to beg her at the door to take another picture and give me a hug and a kiss goodbye. I am certain it was much harder for me to have her go to preschool than it was for her. Every day she has even asked why they didn't give her math homework. She apparently takes great notice as to what the brothers bring home from school for homework. This preschool should be lots of fun, she gets to do swimming lessons one day, gymnastics another day and alternate between tennis and dance the other day.
She is soo grown up (and acts like it too). Before school started I took each of the boys out shopping for school clothes so they could pick them out. Rylie was usually there with me and always picking stuff out for herself. This is nothing new since she loves to shop and pick things out, so I just kept saying "not today Rylie." After a couple of these shopping excursions, Rylie came to me and said, "mom, you can't forget about me, I am going to school too!" OOPS! She was right, she was going to school and I had not bought her anything but what 4-year old says that. So we had our own little mommy daughter shopping day and what an experience that was. I will say this, we are in so much trouble when she gets older. She is FAR too opinionated and picky about her clothes.

Flag Football


Flag football has finally started, and Nate couldn't be on a better team. He has been very patiently waiting to get a call to let him know what team he was on. It was hard to watch Derrek go play football everyday and he was not able to. He finally found out who his tcoach was and what team he was on (TALONS), the day before his first football game. Oh yeah and by the way there would be practice that night too. Drew and I both thought, Oh great what kind of coach does this poor kid have. Wrong thought to have! His coach is wonderful, and he just happens to be the head coach for the Sky View High School football team. He has been so great with the kids and the kids on Nate's team are awesome. He has played two games already and has won both of them. This will be his last year playing flag football and so he is really trying to prove himself.
