Sis is 5

playing on a beach just outside of San Fransisco p.s. she is wearing a swimming suit

Rilynn is my little breathe of fresh air. She is my most content child and loves to be by my side, no matter what we are doing. Since she is the only girl, I am grateful that she is a girly girl-loves skirts, pink and purple, shopping, shoes, etc., but on the other hand; she is not afraid to get dirty-she loves to be outside playing anything and is our best hiker. She and Cooper play better than any two kids I've ever seen. She did swim team this summer with her two older brothers and is so good at freestyle and breast stroke. She has just started kindergarten (which is KILLING me :( ), and she LOVES it. Her obsession with horses has not dwindled as I thought it would...she dreams of riding and owning them. The best part of her whole summer is when we went to Boise in June. My brother Chris's friend let us ride their horses and Rilynn hasn't quit talking about it. She was most excited about a miniature horse named Bobo

Here are Rilynn's current favorites.

Best Friend- Ethan and Carley (a little girl in her class)

Favorite food- macaroni and spaghetti (she is a carb junkie)

Favorite Movie- Spirit (a horse movie-surprise, surprise)

Favorite book- Any book she can get you to read to her!

Favorite toy- her baby dolls and make up

Favorite song- Mama Mia

Favorite color- Purple

What she wants to be when she grows up- a cowgirl

Hero-Phyllis Livingston

Seriously how cute is this picture of her "dive" at a meet (thanks Adamson's!)?
