7 on 7/7 Happy Birthday Rylie

We had a lot of fun celebrating Rylie's birthday this year. In fact we got to have two pre-parties and cakes before the day actually arrived!

I (daddy) took Rylie fishing with Tanner and Jocelyn at Dierkes Lake (pronounced deer-keys).  Idaho Fish and Game was sponsoring a free fishing day and they provided rods and bait for everyone.  All we had to do was just show up!  It was great!!  Rylie was the first to hook a small bluegill but it got away just before she could pull it out of the water.  Jocee's was the lucky pole that day and we caught two bass.


Mommy did a rockin' awesome job no the birthday cake which was inspired by a real life observation of the circle of life by Rylie in our back yard several weeks earlier.  In case you don't get it, the lady bug is eating an aphid.  It was the best tasting cake ever!  Chocolate cake with cherry fluff layers and a sweet cream cheese frosting and icing.  Rylie certainly has a flair for the morbid realities of life.

Rylie loves riding scooters, horses and her daddy.  She is also reading lots of books and loves to play her new leapster Didj.
