Sliver

Ashlyn got a sliver in her foot.  We told her her that we had to get it out, but she started crying and said she didn't want us to take it out until she was in fourth grade!  I don't know where she got that one, but it was pretty funny.  Matt did get it out- I'm glad we got it out now instead of waiting until fourth grade!

Let's Go Fly a Kite!

 Rylee wanted a Spiderman kite for graduating from preschool.  I thought that was a reasonable request!  But it had to be Spiderman.  We went to Walmart and fortunately they had Spiderman and then Ashlyn got to pick one too.  She surprised me by picking Cinderella- they had quite a few different ones and she picked the one I would have picked! 

 We were doing pretty good in the backyard,
but then Matt said we needed to go to the school 

so there would be more room and wind. 

 Then when we got to the park, 

Rylee didn't seem to care about the kite so much and 

wanted to play on the playground.  

Ashlyn was loving her kite though!

But Rylee always asks to fly her kite now.  

It's a good thing we live in Idaho and usually have wind!

Last Day!!!!!!

Today was my last day of school- yea!  

It was a rough year, so I'm so glad to be done!  

I LOVE SUMMER!!!

Preschool Graduation

 Rylee graduated from preschool today!

Now she's ready for kindergarten!

 Singing some songs

 Ashlyn also got a hat- she really didn't graduate though.  She did go to preschool during the month of May because Oma was the teacher!  And she loved it!  But she'll really get to go next year.

 Rylee was so excited to get her diploma.

 Grandma came too.

Miss Sarah, the teacher, and Rylee

Miss Sarah taught most of the time and then Oma was their teacher in May.

Playing Around

 I think Ashlyn got the better end of the deal- 

she got to ride and read while Rylee pushed her.  

Rylee was happy to do it though!

 Coloring- one of their favorite activities, 

especially with markers.

And they love Snickers ice cream bars!

(They actually call them "Sneakers.")

Haircut

 The girls got their hair cut yesterday.

Rylee has been wanting hers cut for a while.

A few months ago one of the daycare workers had printed out a picture of a "stylish" haircut she wanted and was showing the kids.  So Rylee wanted a stylish haircut too.  And then in the past month or so a couple of her friends have gotten their hair cut short, so she wanted hers cut short too.  I didn't want to go too short.  But both girls got about 3-4 inches cut.  I didn't get a before shot- I don't know what I was thinking!! 

Salt Lake

 I had an eye doctor appointment yesterday in Salt Lake.  The girls and my parents went with me.  We left around 8:30 and ate at In-n-Out and McDonalds in Centerville for lunch.  Then we went to the new City Creek mall downtown.  We only went into one store- the Disney Store.  And then we walked around a bit.  My appointment was at 2:15 and then we didn't get out of there until 4:00, so that didn't leave us much time after to do anything.  We went back to In-n-Out and McDonalds for dinner.  The kids love the play place there.  Then after many potty stops- both for me and the kids- we got home around 9:30.  So it was a long day in the car, but we had a good time.  You would think the girls would have slept in the car, but they didn't at all. 

At the doctor Rylee asked if we could have more fun after we were done there.  She wanted to go back to the Disney Store.  She has fun when we go- I don't think Ashlyn has as much fun, but oh well!  She does like spending time with Grandma and Grandpa. 

As for the appointment, it was very good news.  The doctor said my eye is actually improving.  I don't think he's said that, well, ever!  So that was good.  I still have terrible eyesight in that eye, but the inflammation is going down and things are looking good.  Last time he wanted to give me a shot under my eye, but I told him that made me a little nervous.  I've had that done before with no problems- it's when they do it inside the eye that my retina detaches.  But I was still worried, so he said he would just give me drops to see if that worked and then he would check me in a couple of months.  So the eye drops must be working- yea!!!  I go back in August.  It's crazy that I will have a baby then and it will be just before school starts (that one I don't want to even think about right now!!!). 

 

 Ashlyn at In-n-Out- 

the girls love to get hats and stickers there, but they would rather eat at McDonald's!

 At the Disney Store- they had a little castle you could walk through.

 Too many choices- all so cute!

I got Rylee Belle and Ashlyn Rapunzel.  

They don't know I bought them and I don't know when I'm going to give them to them. 

 Maybe when the baby comes or maybe for their birthdays.  

We made Rylee get her picture taken by the flowers- she doesn't look too happy about it!

It was very hot- I think they broke a record- 94 degrees!
