An afternoon in the canoe

Kindergarten and 4th grade open house!

Kayaking with my sugar pie! :-)

Outdoor fun before the rain comes!

                                                                     Make a wish!!!

Love this!

Lucy has been writing her full name lately, and when I first saw how she wrote Lucy Anne Siler, I just couldn't stop smiling!  It is so cute to see her write "and" instead if "Anne" that I don't even bother correcting her.  It's even cuter when you ask her to say her full name... "Lucy And Siler".  :-)  Hey, I get how she would be confused... but for now I am soaking up every but of cuteness... Because as we all know, these girls are going to grow up way faster than we could ever possibly imagine. :-(

1st day of horse riding lessons for all three girls!

I forgot my regular camera today, but thankfully I had my wonderful cell phone me! (which actually had a very decent camera on it!!!)  The girls had a blast today at their first horse lesson, and I couldn't be more pleased as well.  Madeline showed off her knowledge with horses, and impressed the heck out of me!  She knew answers to all the horse questions faster than I could even process the whole question! Ava showed confidence and initiative without hesitation.  She told the horse what to do in such a loud, firm, confident voice!  This is not typical for my shy little Ava.  As for Lucy... Well, Lucy did what Lucy does best... smile.  This little brown eyed beauty had a permanent smile on her face the whole night.  :-)  I just love these girls so much...each passing day seems to get better and better and better.... God sure knew what he was doing when he made the Siler family!

Lazy Saturday?

Okay, the truth is out.... unfortunately we did not have a whole Saturday to be lazy, but we were pretty relaxed for a few hours before the chaos began.  The girls colored some ceramic plates, which we now proudly have on display in our kitchen. :-)  I got some study time in, and Chris did whatever Chris does when he has a few moments to himself... I actually have NO idea where he goes or what he does!  I could call his name for hours and he cannot be found!!!  Then, like magic, he suddenly appears! LOL...

Keep your eyes open for an intruder with green feet!!!

Lucy's second lost tooth!
