The State Fair of Texas

A couple of weekends ago we took the girls to the State Fair of Texas! This was Reese's first time to go.

While waiting in line for the Fletcher's Corny Dogs we got to see the creepy looking Big Tex

Reese loved the corny dogs and funnel cake!

As we were walking into the fair we saw some people carrying large Minion's from Despicable Me that Ryleigh wanted. So we took her to the games and she won her own Minion!

Then her and Daddy drove the bumper cars!

Before we left we went to the petting zoo. Reese loved petting and seeing all the animals!

Patterson Wedding

This past weekend my cousin Amanda became Mrs. Tyler Patterson. Ryleigh was the flower girl and had a blast!

Friday afternoon we headed down to Tyler for the rehearsal then dinner. Ryleigh took her flower girl duties very seriously and did a great job!

Reese wanted to help too!

By this point I think Reese was delirious. She went up to the alter and threw herself down on the floor then started rolling around. 

The next day Ryleigh met up with the Bridal party and the bride to get their hair done.

 Being silly playing with Amanda's sash.

Finally it was her turn to her her hair done! Vikki teased her hair so big she looked like Don King!

In the end she looked beautiful!!

She loved her hair so much she cried that night when she took it down. Now she wants her hair done like this every day.

Such a sweet profile!

My presicous girls with their Great-Grammy!

"I know pronounce you husband and wife!"

Ryleigh loved dancing! She danced with Gramz, Papa and Daddy!

By time the wedding reception was over and we helped clean up this little girl was tired! 

September Photo Dump

Ryleigh's first homework assignment.

Ryleigh's friend from school, Kailyn, had her 5th birthday party at Jump Zone. It was a really neat place with large trampoline area, the rope pit, and bounce houses. My favorite thing about the place was the age limits for each area so the big kids can trample over the kids. 

Ryleigh had a lot of fun with her friends.

Ryleigh went to the balloon festival in Celina with Gramz and Papa. She got her face painted, play in the bounce houses, rode a roller coaster, and was blown up in a huge ball!

 Brandon's side of the family loves getting together to celebrate everyone's birthday. In September we go together and had a Minion party for Denise, Ryleigh, Micah and Joel. They had fun busting open the pinata and getting all the candy in snack. Brandon's Aunt made all the Minion cookies, cupcakes and Joel's smash cake.

This is Ryleigh wearing my hoop skirt I wore under my wedding dress. She make a pretty bride but she better wait at least 20 more years!

Next year when Ryleigh starts Elementary School she will start at Scoot Elementary. They are building it in our subdivision. She always wants to drive by and look at "her school" she is so excited!

These girls love to swing!

Ryleigh's 5th Birthday Party

This year Ryleigh wanted to celebrate her birthday with her friends at WOGA Gymnastics. They have a kids gym upstairs for parties. Ryleigh had fun playing with her friends, opening presents and eating her cookie cake! I can't believe she's 5!
