Rylee-ism

For those of you without Facebook, you don't get to hear most of my daughter's Rylee-isms. Here is her most recent:

Yesterday, her and Daddy met me at work to have a food tasting for the wedding. She is a hit with some of my co-workers and is always getting money. (Brad tried this time, not so cute!) Sitting in the back seat, thinking hard on the way home, Rylee proclaims: "Mommy, how come all these people just keep giving me MONEY?!" Me: "Because you are cute, like your Mommy." Rylee: "Then how come YOU didn't get any money!" Rub it girl, rub it in!

"Gotta Dance!"

Rylee had her first Dance Recital yesterday and today! All the fees, racing to bring her to practices on Wednesday, fighting with her to go when she was tired, and paying the crazy price for the costumes was all worth it!





"Tap Your Toes"



"knock, knock, knock your knees"





Her and her friend Maggie were NOT fond of the applause!



"Singing in the Rain"



At this point she was DONE with this dance thing and just wanted OFF the stage. Not to mention she yelled at me numerous times for taking pictures of her!



But she got these pretty flowers and a balloon!



This one is my favorites-her with Great-Grandma Akemann


So many emotions ran through me these last few nights, watching my "baby" girl grow up in a matter of moments and continue on with the many "firsts" she will be experimenting in her life. I asked her at the end of her first recital if she wanted to be in dance next year (considering all the times she SCREAMED that she didn't want to go to practice) and she very excitely said "YES!"
