I am having to do posts in 2 month chunks because I am so behind! Well let's see...Rylie turned 5 in September and we decided to take her to Chuckie Cheese. Both Craig and I had grown up going there and Rylie loved it! Now when we ask her where she wants to go on a date or to do something special she always chooses Chuckie Cheese! For her birthday we gave her ballet lessons. She has been asking to be in ballet for the last year, so we thought she could give it a try. She is very serious and practices a lot at home. One morning when Craig was on fall break we had a leaping contest. Rylie chose Craig as the winner because his leg was the straightest. I disagree but I am going to be the bigger woman. We are praying that God will use these opportunities for Rylie to reach out to people and show them who He is in whatever talents He gives her! My mom, sister, and sister-in-law all went to Spokane over Halloween weekend for the Beth Moore conference. It was an awesome time of worship and teaching about unity. Then we raced back so I could go trick or treating with the girls. For Rylie's preschool Halloween party they dressed up in BSU colors and for actual Halloween they dressed up like Ballerinas (no camera-sorry). Last weekend we went up to the cabin so that Craig could do a little bit of hunt'in (as he calls it). He didn't get an elk this year, but he is hoping to get a deer in the next couple weekends. It has been a crazy couple months, but Rylie loves being in preschool and Ella has been busy wearing my make-up and talking up a storm. It all goes by so fast, sometimes you just need to stop and thank the Lord for all you have!!!!
