The road to Virginia

Rylee asleep on our way to Virginia
Our family...together again. Because of Hurricane Irene, we only had one opportunity to see TJ. So, once we had Rylee moved into her room, we booked it down to Norfolk to meet TJ for dinner. It was a long drive but so worth it just to all be together again. Even if it was just for a couple of hours.



Switching shades.


Keeping up our tradition of first day of school picture. Do you think she looks like a college girl? I do!


Oh, my babies! At our favorite sushi joint in Norfolk. YUMMY!


On our way to SVU. It was Rylee's turn to drive. Kim took this picture of "his girls". I think it was almost as hard on him to let her go as it was on me. Almost.

Saying goodbye

I was cleaning out the basement and found this old white board. As I was taking it out to the garage, I turned it over and found where Rylee had wished me a happy birthday. This was many years ago. So, I thought I would capture this sentiment on film to enjoy forever. I love my Rylee girl and will miss her so much.
We went to dinner with a few family friends where the kids were all heading off to college. Jeremy off to BYU Provo, Terresa to BYU Idaho and of course my baby girl Southern Virgina University. These three have grown up together and these families have become our family. I love them so much and will miss them tremendously. It is not goodbye...it is, till we meet again.



Poor Jeremy. LOL!

Cute kids

TJ sent this to Rylee on her birthday. He must have been in class.

Rylee and I were in the car when she got his birthday text. She was able to find a highligher in my car and a scrap of paper to write her gratitude.


I love that my kids love each other so much. I am happy that TJ will be so close to take care of his little sister and that Rylee is so close to return the favor. LOL!

Stucco

Dinner at Chili's with what is left of our gang. Mary is my dear friend with breast cancer. She gave Rylee and Jermey Magic bullets for graduation/birthday presents. I love her!

We now have stucco on the house. Soon it will be painted.

Wisdom Teeth - Make up





I shouldn't be doing this, but I think only my parents look at this blog and they have already seen this. This is right after Rylee had her wisdom teeth pulled and she wants to check her make up before I start videoing her. Prior to this, she was talking like a drunken sailor. Funny and disconcerting at the same time.

Wisdom Teeth - "John Travolta"





She is trying to say that John Travolta is gay after she sings "I've Got Chills" from Greece.

Rylee after her wisdom teeth are removed





My sides hurt from laughing so hard everytime I watch this.

Gunnar taking care of Rylee

This is Mr. Gunnar taking care of our patient. So cute!

Sleepy time

This is Rylee in the car after we dropped Kim of at the airport.

Wake up birthday girl







Sorry it is so dark. She is in bed and we woke her up before we had to take Kim to the airport.


PS. You will have to pause the playlist (sidebar) to hear this.


Blow out the candles






Excuse the singing.


MOA for Tiger Sushi

Rylee wanted sushi for her birthday partly because she love sushi and partly because it is soft food and she is still a little tender after having her wisdom teeth pulled last Tuesday. She looks really good. Just a little puffiness.




She is how old?!


Cheers to the birthday girl!



Dessert. Yum!
