Summer Time

We love visiting the Snow Cone place in Mineral Springs.  One day, Rylee was so excited to see Karson there!  They go to Nana's together during the school year and have become buddies.  She's ready to go back full time and see hime every day!  I'm ready, too!  HA!

And who can go through summer and not love some good cold watermelon!  We certainly do!

Chad visited Hawaii this summer and brought Rylee the cutest ukelele back.  She has been performing with it!

The Wii Remote makes a perfect microphone!

Gettin jiggy with it!

Ready, Set, Go!

This is what has consumed my time lately......

I'm so ready for Day ONE! 

Sunday Sweets

Sunday, Jeremy and Natalia were in from California so our families mixed and mingled at Western Sizzlin in Nashville.  Joe and Kim from Maumelle, Cathey and Mike from Nashville, Vicki, Lauren, Ricky and Trip from Mena and of course, all of the Aylett clan, minus Marcia, Justin, and Chad. 

Rylee enjoyed playing with Trip - Lauren's little boy!

And, Rylee enjoyed the ice cream.........

And......anyone who knows my Grandmother knows that she loves her some sweets!  When we were all growing up, it was always a joke that you don't ever lay down any of your candy bar, or dessert unless you are finished with it!  Momo was NOTORIOUS for coming behind you and scooping up your leftovers.  We all learned the hard way that if you run off to play thinking you were gonna come back and finish up your goodies, you were sadly mistaken! 

Well, fastforward about 30 years......and Momo is STILL at it! Rylee Grace is starting to learn.....

You think she's not paying attention......

Then she spies it.......

.....and moves in for the kill.......

You just have to get far far away! 

We love Momo!

Pinterest

Pinterest is my new addiction.....I. Love. It.  It's a bookmarking site but with visual thumbnails.....and it's all organized into little interest boards that you can categorize.  I have boards for my house, school, clothes, dreams, Rylee Grace, vacations.....I think that's all.  And, you can follow boards of interest, like Southern Living is my favorite for dreaming!  Check out my Pinterest page by clicking on the red "P" in the side bar! 

Saturday with Sissy

Saturday, we started out early to Hope to watch Zach play All Star Baseball.  He had played the night before and lost, but we were not able to go because of swimming lessons that we had already scheduled prior to scheduling baseball tournaments.  The game started at 10:00.  Luckily it was very cloudy and pretty breezy - a nice morning for a little baseball.  Unfortunately, the ballgame did not go in his favor.  They lost their second game, and were out of the tournament.  Zach played really well, though, and has really improved since last year! 

In the top picture, you can see the teams lined up receiving their medals.  The 2nd picture, immediately above, is zoomed in on #5, who would rather receive the top place trophy!  Maybe next year!

We ate lunch and ran by the lumber yard to pick up some plywood that I needed for a project at school.  (More on that in another post).  Then we headed home.  Brittany had told Rylee that she would come swim with her that afternoon, so we all headed home and Rylee started asking when "Sissy" was coming.  I told her to give it a little while and she would call.  Well, by 3:00, Miss Rylee had waited as long as she could and she just had to call! 

Rylee and I met Brittany at the Country Club and she came home with us, while Zach swam with a friend.  Rylee and Roy were in Heaven on Earth, and I was too, because what makes them happy makes me happy! 

We swam, grilled burgers, Brittany practiced her driving skills with her daddy, and we swam some more!  The only problem was that Rylee told me that she didn't want me coming outside with them becuase I would talk to her Sissy too much.  In other words, I was taking her time away from her Sissy Time!  So I stayed inside and let Roy, Rylee and Brittany swim.  They had a ball.  Brittany did lots of cheer stunts with Rylee, and Rylee loved every minute of it! 

Roy wanted an updated picture with "his girls" before we had to take Brittany home.  She stayed till about 9:00 and then we ran her home. 

Miss Rylee had such a good time!  .............playing with Sissy is very tiring!

Little Fish

Rylee has been swimming really good this summer!  It seems like it just "clicked" for her.....or it could be the fact that we have taught swimming lessons to over 50 kids this summer!  Can you say "worn out"?  But it financed our vacation, so I won't complain! 

Here's Rylee showing off her skills in the water!

This Little Piggie....

I had a pedicure last week while Rylee was at Mom's. When she came home, she was not happy that I had gone without her! So, I promised I would take on Wednesday since I didnt have any workshops or meetings that particular day. She loved it!

She sat in my lap because she was a lite intimidated by the big chair on the platform!

But she loved the finished product- hot pink with zebra stripes! Very girlie and not what her daddy has in mind for his little ball player. I have news for him.....she may be girlie-girlie, but she also has a competitive, athletic streak about her too! I think it will be a happy medium!

Silly Girl

Miss Rylee is quite the singer!  She loves to carry her ipod around with her and play her music while singing along!  She loves America's Got Talent when the singers come on.....she loves Dancing with the Stars.....she loves The Fresh Beat Band on NickJr......she loves anything that has to do with music. 

On this particular night, she was sitting in my lap belting out Taylor Swift's "Mean".  So I thought I would pull out my phone and document the occasion.  WELL......Miss Priss is a performer!  She saw herself in that phone and she started putting on a show.  I laughed so hard at her laughing at herself.  I love her so much!
