Ryleigh wanted to get in on the fun and I finally had to put her to bed because she was stepping all over them. As you can see, they are trying to see around her to watch the movie.
The movie ended around 9:00 p.m. and I told them it was time to try and go to sleep. I knew they wouldn't, but I thought as the mom I should say it. :) They giggled and giggled until after 11:00 p.m. But, they were really good, I didn't have to tell them to stay in the room and only had to tell them to try and giggle a little quieter a few times. They demonstrated to me their idea of a quiet giggle and I approved. :)
Finally asleep! I thought for sure that they would sleep in since they went to bed so late. I was really hoping they would since I didn't go to bed until after midnight and I was up with Ryleigh in the middle of the night for over an hour. But, no such luck. At 6:30 a.m. they were up and ready to go. By 6:45 a.m. they were all dressed and asking for breakfast. :( I gave them a snack and told them I wasn't cooking until Ryleigh woke up. :)
Finally breakfast! Enjoying pancakes. Then we headed to the pool for the afternoon, but after just a short time there, they called L5 (lightening with in 5 miles) and we had to leave. I think they made a good memory and I am sure we will be doing it again soon!

Ashleigh you have been fun to be around since you were little. You can always make us laugh and I love having you around. I have enjoyed all the many times you have come and stayed with me since I have been married. From helping me get ready for Aiden's first birthday party, to staying weeks down here during some lonely for me times when Jason was working a lot. So many great memories! I look forward to tons more. You are loved by every member of this family. Today when I was calling you, Kyle asked me who I was calling. I told him Aunt Ashleigh and he said "I yuve Aunt Asherleigh, she is so nice." I think we all feel the same way. I am proud of you and the direction you are taking in life. I am so glad you are my sister. :)
Walking around at her party. Enjoying being the center of attention.
Ryleigh is super friendly, especially when you have food. She climbed up on our friend Donald's lap and ate all his food. :)
Some of the party.
Family photo.
The boys blew out her candle for her. As you can see, she was not too sure about the candle. Love Kyle's checks!
Getting started. At first she acted like she didn't know what to do. But, it didn't take her long to figure it out.
Look at her eyes!!!!
Nose dive!
The kids eating cake.
Time for a bath.
All clean and ready for presents.
