It's Miller Time: July 2008

Monday, July 28, 2008

Rylie had a swim meet last month it was called "last chance qualifing". She already has two events that qualify her for the Junior Olympic times and this was her last chance to qualify befor the big J.O. (junior olympic) meet in California. We aren't going to be able to go to that meet but we still wanted her to get a time for these events. She brought home one more ribbon and a 3rd place medal! We are so proud of her. Her hard work is paying off!

Well our little Brookelynn had a birthday! She definately had it planned out exactly what she wanted. It was going to be a Hannah Montana birthday and everyone should look like rockstars! We played pin the sunglasses on Hannah Montana, and sang kareoke to her latest album. There were purple balloons (Hannahs favorite color) and blow up microphones. All party goers had glitter in their hair and rockstar tattoos. We know how to PARTY LIKE A ROCKSTAR!!

After cake and ice cream they chilled out in the theatre room and watched a little movie and ate a little popcorn. She kept saying throughout the night " This is the best birthday EVER!" I guess she was a happy girl.

Now comes Kindergarten! She's growing up so fast it's fun to see the changes happening right befor my eyes.

She has been asking and asking and asking for a love bird ever since a friend from preschool brought one in for show and tell, so can you guess what she ended up getting for her birthday? yep her name is TINKER BELL!

The story is this.. One day after several months of asking repeatedly "Can I have a love bird?" we were at Jake's baseball game. Out of the blue Brookelynn came up to her daddy and said, very matter of factly... " Dad I have been very patient and I think it's time for you buy me a love bird." ( this was back in May, her b-day isn't until July 20th, we really had to make that poor girl wait a long time in 4 year old years)

We aren't big pet people around here. I have enough things to take care of without adding a pet to the mix. But as you can see we gave in.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROOKELYNN!!

Pauline taught us a new game with whipped cream. you're supposed to put it on the back of your hand and fling it at someone and they're supposed to catch it in their mouths.

How'd she do?
