Brad took the girls to buy fishing rods a few weeks ago. Ever since then, they have been excited to go out on the boat to fish with their daddy. So since we were staying in town for Memorial Day weekend, we thought it would be a great time to go out. They had a blast. They both caught more fish then I ever do. Maybe Brad should let me use live bait next time. :) We were so proud of how well they did, and it was great to see them so excited.






No more training wheels






Watching all of the neighborhood kids riding their bikes, we thought it was time fore Rylee's training wheels to be removed. We tried this last summer, but she got too scared and then never wanted to ride her bike, so Brad ended up putting them back on. Now that she is off to Kindergarten, it is definitely time. Brad spent some time with her this week. She was still unfocused and scared to death, but we will keep practicing.

What an emotional day. I can't believe Rylee has really graduated from preschool and is heading to Kindergarten in the Fall. This past Wednesday she had her ceremony. My my mom, dad, and Brad's mom were all able to be here, and she was so excited.

Teddy




One of the cool projects Rylee did at preschool was to bring home a teddy bear named Teddy and a journal. She was to take Teddy along on all of her weekend adventures, and then we had to write about them. The kids got to share their journal at school when their adventures were over. Rylee got to bring Teddy home for a second time just two weeks ago. She had a great time and we took some cute pictures.

Third Trimester



I made it to the third trimester. At 29 weeks, I just had my glucose test. Everything came back great. My iron was a little low, so they put me on an additional suppliment. I guess it all makes sense now as to why I have been so tired. I was thinking it was just my job and my 21 extra pounds, but now it is a little more clear.

Our new baby girl's name

Well, we have given little miss a name and are hoping they are right. We have all agreed upon Kamryn Grace. Sydney just talks about her all the time. It is really adorable. She is so anxious to meet her baby sister. She asks all the time when summer will be here. She walks around saying she is going to be a big sister, and she always wants to give her little kisses. They are both kind of interested on how she is coming out of mommy's belly, a topic that is a little hard for them to understand at 3 and 5. But, it is quite a funny conversation.
