Rylee's 10th Birthday

 We had a small celebration for Rylee's bday while we were in Minnesota.  It was great being able to celebrate with family we don't see very often.

 On Rylee's actual birthday I brought doughnuts to school and had lunch with her in her classroom.  That night we celebrated with presents and Red Robin of course!  There's nothing better than Red Robin fries and a free sundae!

Rylee chose to have a sleepover with her besties Madeline and Alexis instead of having a party this year.  We had the sleepover at a hotel so the girls could do lots of swimming in the pool.  We went to Bahama Breeze for dinner, and then came back for some late night swimming and hot tubbing.  Such a fun night!

I can't believe my sweet little Smiley Rylee is 10!  Double digits!

Family visit in MN

We just returned from a trip to Minnesota to visit family and have my niece Kennedy baptized.

We went to the Fagen Fighters WWII museum.  The aircraft and military vehicles were so cool, Carson was in awe!

Carson went with the boys to the races one night.  He loved it!  He got to eat lots of snacks and watch fast cars- score!  

Willis' kids had this golf cart custom made for his 90th birthday.  It was awesome!  The kids even got to drive it.

Since Grandma and Willis downsized last  year there wasn't room for all of us to stay with them.  We stayed at the Prairie's Edge Casino Resort.  It was great!  The kids swam every day, and we had a little lounge area outside our rooms so we could play cards with the family at night.  

Kennedy did great during the baptism.  She looked so pretty!  We had the baptism in my Grandma's church- the same church my kids were baptized in and my parents were married in. 

After the baptism my Uncle Brad and Aunt Barb  hosted a party at their house.  It was fun seeing family members that I hadn't seen in a while.

While we were at Brad and Barbs we had to get some pictures of the farm equipment and corn fields!  The weather wasn't good enough for us to get to see the combine in action, but it was fun climbing on it!  

The kids loved spending the week with Kennedy.  She is such a little sweetheart.  She absolutely loves the kids and will do anything for them.

We had so much fun spending time with family.  Lots of card playing, good food, swimming, piano playing and just visiting.  Perfect visit!
