Happy Easter and Happy Birthday Kristin! :)

Last 2nd grade school lunch of the year and last elementary lunch ever with Rylee :(

Surprised the girls with TAYLOR SWIFT tickets! It was the BEST night ever. Over 3 hours of singing out hearts out and dancing. So many memories made with all my favorite people. The Eras Tour was a once in a lifetime experience for sure! Taylor Swift is a AMAZING - greatest singer and entertainer I have ever seen in my life. SO MUCH FUN!!!

Came home to some graduation surprises!

2nd grade Celebration of Learning - each kid shared their animal presentation they made. Rayna was a jaguar and was so excited to show us her powerpoint! She had the best year with the best teacher!!

Last day of school and last time they will walk into Fielder together... very bittersweet! They were excited and ready to deliver their sweet teachers their end of the year summer bag :)

Had the 5th grade clap out in the morning to cheer on our girl!

Picked them up after school and they could not be more different...

Rayna - all smiles, popsicle, hanging with friends, autographed arm, and yelling "Last day of school!!"

Rylee - crying with her best friend because she will miss Fielder and her teacher

Charli snuggles make everything better <3

Things I don't want to forget:

Rayna 

• "I got slammed in the nuts!" (hit by a ball)
• "Rylee said that I am not funny and I think I am very funny." (crying)
• "Are you supposed to say boys are pretty? They are pretty ugly!"
• "Hey big boys! Bigs and smalls" - talking to Uncle Nathan and Daddy
• "I have lima beans in my eyes!" (pink eye)
• I asked if she was prepared and knew her science for tomorrow. She replied, "Yes! I could do this in my sleep."
• "Does money expire?" 
• "silent but deadly"
• When we brought Charli home: "I tried to hold my tears in" and "she has vitiligo like me!"

Rylee

• "Guess what?" In sixth grade there are no walking in straight lines anymore!"
• Randomly in Janruary, "I am going to stop peeing in pools"
• "I am so thankful for you, mommy! You always talk to me, make my lucnch, and write me a note every day in my lunchbox at school. My friends moms don't do that." <3
• Asked alexa a question then said thank you!
• Eating something good she started saying, "yummmm! It just hits different"
• 3/25/23 - Rylee told me for the first timeshe thinks she wants to get "bath-tized" and has just been thinking alot about it" <3
• "My smell buds broke - I can't smell my slime"
• "can I be full?" - every night at dinner
