Dance!

On August 22, 2011 Ryleigh started dance lesson at Sheena's Dance Studio. 
She's taken lesson at the daycares she has attended in the past but this year I wanted her exposed to real dance lessons. At the daycare they don't dress out and only did ballet. 

She was so excited!


This was her ready to go to her second class. She insisted I take her picture and that she stand like this since she did this the first week. 



I can't wait to see her perform at her dance recital this May!

Jackson's 2nd Birthday Party

Yesterday was cousin Jackson's 2nd Birthday Party! We drove to Tyler to the Discovery Kids Zone to celebrate. His Theme was Veggie Tales!!

Ryleigh had a lot of fun shopping in the kids sized grocery store.

She loves bread just like Mommy!


She had fun checking out and sliding the food across the scanner.



She loves her Jackson!


They both LOVE doing puzzles!

Once Aunt Cecile arrived she had to go shopping again with her. Here they're getting some Mandarin  Oranges ;) We know how Aunt Cecile LOVES Mandarin Oranges! (It's just a little inside joke within the family.) 

Such a beautiful butterfly and caterpillar! 

She was spinning around in circles in this which makes for a blurring photo.

"Ryleigh, Ryleigh jump up and down jump and down..."

"...and sit back down!"

Watching the coins spin around. They had more fun throwing them in rather than sliding them down the coin slot.

Driving the big pirate ship!

She was playing with these then looked up and said, "Look Mommy I made a plane!" I was so surprised to see that she had in fact made a plane! Such a smart girl!
Here she is flying her plane.


Larry and Bob Birthday Cake!

"Cheese!"


Look at Ryleigh at the head of the table. She's helping him blow at the candles. :) 

She kept saying, "I want Bob, I want Bob!"
Here she is eating her Bob cake.

She loved the party blowers! I'm glad I've already bought some her for her party that's in a few weeks!

You can't see the other balloon but she as a green Larry balloon on one arm and a red Bob balloon tied to the other while blowing on the party blower! 

Ryleigh and Great Grammy!



She had a blast! After dinner she fell asleep in 10 minutes still wearing her Veggie Tales ring and bracelet. 
The next 3 weekends are also full of more birthday parties! Next week is Davis' 1st birthday party, then Caleb's 10th birthday party, then finally Ryleigh's 3rd birthday party! I think we're going to be on a sugar high with all the birthday cake we will have eaten by the end of September! ;)

3 Year Old Photos

We used one of my mom's friends to take her pictures this year. (She also took our Christmas and Easter photos last year.) Ryleigh had fun getting her picture made.

I can't believe she's almost THREE!!! WOW time has flown by!










Crossing Minnie's legs too.


Such a sweet face.



Making her Cindy Lou Who Face.


Splashing in the water


I love this one! It looks like a magazine ad.





If you weren't able to tell she's having a Minnie Mouse themed party! :)
I found a lady on Etsy who made her outfit and another lady who made her invite!
