I Messed Up...

I was trying to change the songs, because 2 different songs were playing, and some how deleted one of the slide shows. Oooops! So I had to put the slide show back on and obviously it posted in a new place...Oh well. Nothing new happened last night. The girls are all excited because Paige and Tanner are coming tonight and the annual Car Show is in town tomorrow. I am sure there will be new pictures Monday. Everyone enjoy the extended weekend and have a safe holiday.

Life ....

Well, no pics to put on today. The Wednesday night life started lastnight. It is that time already. Rylee goes to King's Kids at the Methodist Church after school. She loves it! She's always so excited to tell us all about what they did that day and who her teacher was. She informed me yesterday that she has a "boyfriend", I said does he know this, "Yes, he likes it that I call him that." Then goes on to tell me that her best friend likes him also. I asked her, "What do you think about that?" "I am alright with that, she is my friend." Oh to be young again!LOL Abbey goes to the Mennonite Brethren on Wed. night, to the AWANA program. She is a cubby. She was so excited to go lastnight. This is the first year she is in a "big girl" class. After church we discussed what they had learned. She turned very serious and said, "Did you know at one time there was not a thing on the earth?" I told her I did know that. "Were you here when it was just darkness?" I said no and she said, "What do you think it would have been like?" I replied that it would not have been much fun. She said, "That is what I was thinking, thank you for having me as a baby." And that is how our conversation went. I don't know where the last remark came from, but I told her your welcome and then she sang. I love those conversations. My girls are just growing up way too fast. I like it when they are just my little girls, playing at the house....just being. Anyway I guess it is official today. Major County Farm Bureau offered me a full-time secretary position and I accepted. They are sending me to school in September to get my license and then Margaret will train with me for a while, and when she is ready to retire, I guess I will move in. I am not sure when she is going to yet, but she wants to make sure I know what I am doing, thank goodness. Well life is....going. I have to brag will quick. Rylee made a 105 on her first spelling test, they have 10 spelling words and 5 challenge words..I am so proud of her. Way to go Ry!!!!

The Wahls' Little Red Cabin

I came across some pictures from vacation lastnight and decided to go ahead and put some on here, even though we went the end of May. Many of you know the family has a cabin on Table Rock Lake, Shellnob, Missouri. At the end of the school year, we took our girls and our family friends with 3 boys (Dallas and Misti Cooper; Denton, Austin, and Sterling). We all had so much fun we went back at the end of July with my sister's family joining us also. Due to all the flooding Missouri had this year, the boat dock was torn up when we first arrived, so Ryan and Dallas fixed it first thing. So many memories have been made at the Little Red Cabin, not only by our family and friends, but by all the families of Lyndon Wahl, Dorothy Rusch, and Iona Suderman. We love to come to this lake. Ours girls had a great time, and I think the Cooper boys did too. Hope you enjoy. Oh by the way the catfish picture is Denton Cooper and Ryan. They caught it on a line they sat the night before. It weighed about 3 to 4 lbs I think. Enjoy...

Our Typical Evening....

Just a few pics of the family last night. The girls sure do love their daddy. Rylee would live on the trampoline if we would let her....she makes me sooo nervous. The higher she goes, the higher my nervousness gets. Rylee has become such a wonderful reader. She reads us all a bedtime story. Abbey keeps telling me, "I am going to be as good as Rylee at reading some day." I am sure she will, she is a little sponge. My girls are so full of energy, if I could have just a drop of it... Well I just liked the pics...hope you enjoy.

Back In The Saddle Again

For those of you who do not know, last year our Rylee fell off a horse and broke her leg...I think it was more traumatic for me than her. Of course it was during the school year and all her wonderful class mates enjoyed catering to her every need, as did her little sister Abbey. Well we hit a milestone last weekend; Rylee got on a pony and rode by herself for a little while. She has ridden a little before then, but this was HER idea and she rode for awhile. I just wanted to share some pics of this wonderful moment with you. Ryan and I were so proud of her...you remember being told, "If you fall off a horse you have to get back on" I believe this is easier said then done.
