Rylie participated in T-ball again this year. They play games on Monday nights for about 6 weeks. Rylie really began to enjoy the game alot after the second week. She was hitting pretty good and running after the ball while in the outfield. A few of the kids on her team this year were Allie Christianson, Kate Cowell, Jack Christianson, Sam Nibbe and many others. 
Tammy and I decided to make a quick trip to Valleyfair this year with our kids. Mason, Morgan and Rylie all got to come along and we even invited Grandma Mary along for the fun! The kids were very well behaved and had a blast on all of the rides.
Mason on the Moon Buggies. This was the first year he was tall enough to go on the White Roller Coaster. We never got him talked into the corkscrew.....maybe next year Mason????
Rylie and Morgan on the "Mild Thing" roller coaster. They rode this ride more than any of the others while we were there.
All smiles and lots of fun! Next year maybe Addisyn and Dawson will be old enough to take on the valleyfair trip. 
Addisyn's birthday is June 20th and Rylie's is July 20th so we celebrated both of their birthdays this past Sunday (July 5th). Rylie decided on a Princess Party for her 5th birthday and Addisyn wanted a Wizard of Oz Party to celebrate birthday #3..........so we split the cake in half and managed to fit both "themes" on one cake!!
Addisyn turned "3" on June 20, 2009 so we had a small celebration until we could fit in her official party! Addi is definitly my "Princess" She loves to play dress up and spin around in circles. She has an infectious laugh and makes me smile daily. She is a special little girl and I'm so lucky that I can call her my daughter.
This past weekend we headed up to Aberdeen, South Dakota to check out "Storybook Land". There were 7 campers and 17 kids in attendance! We ended up going early Friday morning which was a good thing since Saturday/Sunday ended up being so cold and rainy we couldn't do anything. This top picture is Rylie in her 3D glasses. Due to the rain on Saturday we ended up going to a movie in the afternoon just to escape the camper. Below are pictures from Friday. My girls love the Wizard of Oz among other characters so this was right up there alley. I just wish we could have spent more time enjoying it.
I went along as a chaperone with Rylie's preschool class to the Circus this past Thursday. She was so excited to get there. She ate an entire bag of cotton candy and she couldn't wait to see the clowns. Of course when she actually saw the clowns she was to shy to talk to them.
