last day of school 2015!

First, Third, and Fifth grade were good to us, but we are ready for summer!!

What was waiting for the kids on the porch when they got home from their last day of school!

didn’t get a picture of them running through this this year! 😦

When the kids got off the bus, I had some neighborhood kids waiting for them with water balloons! Asher was overjoyed! Ella got off the bus crying because she misses third grade already and her teacher! Rilyn ducked and covered at first, but then got into it!

it was pj day at school…

full out water balloon war!

Asher got soaked!

Rilyn is 11!

June 3rd marks me officially being a mommy for 11 years!  Rilyn is a first born in every sense being a leader and responsible. She thinks she is an adult, always wanting to hang out with adults over younger kids.  She loves a party, and always wants to be around people.  She loves watching TV, and her favorite channel is HGTV!  She has been leading Girls Club at our house every Friday for the past 2 1/2 years.  We are excited to see where the Lord leads her in her life!

Traditional birthday song wake up with a donut! (Last year she was at Pine Cove on her birthday, and she didn’t want to miss her birthday traditions this year!) Pine Cove will be in July this summer!

Taylor Swift perfume from Ella!

This girl LOVES makeup! We went to Sephora the night before and she got foundation, blush, and lip gloss (from Asher). 🙂

At school, there was a 5th grade track day!

She made the 50m finals and got in 4th place!

Rilyn running the second leg of the relay race!

When she got home from school, Rilyn opened up a “new to her” laptop! Woohoo!

That evening, we had her birthday dinner at Cheesecake Factory (daddy surprised her by showing up from his work trip). She opened up Taylor Swift concert tickets!!! Rilyn and I will be going in October! Happy Birthday sweet girl!
