Happy Easter from my beautiful girls - pandemic bunny 2021

Every single day at drop off Rayna always gives me one extra hug & kiss goodbye before getting out the door to go to school...all while struggling to get her backpack on. Then she ALWAYS looks back one more time at me to give me our special I love you sign. Hope she does this forever. These are the days <3

The girls last day before Easter weekend. They were excited to surprise their teachers with flowers :)

Annual Easter egg dying with these little bunnies :)

Happy Easter! HE is risen <3 

So blessed.

My little beauties <3

School mornings are the best with these two :)

So proud of my smart little kindergartner! Rayna came home from school so excited to tell me about how she is learning all about living & non-living things in science. She asked if I could help her make a list of things she finds in the backyard. She drew, I wrote. Love her!

My favorites <3<3<3

Happy Mother's Day to me. Love these sweet girls so much <3

SOOO proud of this little beauty! Rylee participated in her very first competitive horse show AND it was her very first time riding English. She had a smile on her face the entire time and was totally in her element. She did amazing and even placed in two out of four skills bringing home two more ribbons to add to her collection. To say we are proud of her is an understatement. Love watching her do what she loves and she is so good at it! <3

Ready for her group to ride!

So proud of my little graduate! It has been quite the year but Rayna rocked kindergarten and learned so much! She had the BEST teacher and made some of the sweetest little friends. It was an unforgettable year for sure but in all the best ways for her. First grade here she comes! :)

Last day of third grade for my big girl! Can't believe how much she has grown. So proud of how hard she worked during this crazy school year. Off to fourth grade and ready for sweet summertime :)

Happy last day to my sweet girls! So proud of you both <3

Last day to wear masks!!!

Things I don't want to forget:

Rayna:

• standing on her bed to look in her new mirror..."Wow! This is a pretty nice view!"
• "Why does Target live in coffee world?" (going into Starbucks at Target lol)
• Every single time at dinner - "looks good, just don't want to eat it"
• Rayna was suppose to be in bed then I hear her come out and she tells me, "Mommy, I counted from 100 down to 1 by 2's!"
• "I love this piece of water! Cheers!"

Rylee:

• During bedtime prayers Rylee added at the end, "...and I hope Rayna gathers it up!" She winked at me and used air quotes to whisper quietly "her attitude" 
• When she likes to share things with her family Rylee always says, "Mommy, Daddy, Rayna..."
• Bedtime prayers - "and a one, and a two, and a you know what to do..."
• "I love coloring. It just makes me happy." <3
• "itty bitty witty"
