SweetHearts Invite

One morning Avynlea came downstairs to tell me how cute Rylee looked as she was sleeping. I sent her back up with my phone so she could take a picture. I agree that she looks really cute in her sleeping pose.
 Brit was coming home from Utah with her kids Monday night when she ran out of gas on the freeway. Kelsey did not want to drive out from Emmett to get her gas so he asked Kefford if he would. Kefford is such a nice guy that he said he would do it even though he was so sick. Kefford caught the flu and it hit him pretty hard. He left with Ryker and then came back a while later with Brit and Kelsey's kids. Even with the gas Brit's car wasn't starting so she sent the kids with Kefford and waited for Kelsey and a tow truck to come. Asher stayed with his Mama so she wouldn't have to be alone which was sweet. Once the tow truck arrived Kelsey and Asher stayed with it and Brit took Kelsey's car to pick up her kids and take them home. I liked seeing them all gathered on the couch watching Ryker play his game. 
For mutual the girls learned how to conduct music to pass off a personal progress value experience and then they did Karaoke. I was questioning our decision of letting them do Karaoke but luckily it wasn't too bad and the night was over pretty quick. I took a couple of pictures of Rylee and her friends singing the song "Fight Song". They did an interesting job, the important part was that they had fun :)

When we got home Wednesday night there was a surprise waiting for Ryker on the front porch. His first dance invite. His friend Aubree was asking him to Sweethearts and the invite was so cute and creative. Even though he tried to downplay it I could tell that Ryker was excited.

 We had such a busy week that it wasn't until Sunday night that Ryker could respond to Aubree's invite. I had a bunch of AirHeads and so we came up with a clever saying. Ryker made the poster with input from me and then He, Rylee and I went to go leave it on her porch. Kenedy always had her friends around to help her with delivering invites and answers and I never got to be a part of it so I was super happy that I could go with Ryker to help him deliver his. We wanted to watch her open the door so I had Ryker park the car down the street a little bit from her house and while Rylee and I watched he snuck over to her house and left the poster on her porch along with more AirHead candies scattered around it. He rang the doorbell and ran to hide behind a parked truck, we didn't want him to get back into the car because it would have turned the light on and it takes a while for it to turn off. We did not want to be seen.
Once the door was opened I realized our mistake. Aubree has an older sister who probably asked someone to the dance also and we didn't put who the answer was to or from. I could see their confusion from where we were sitting but couldn't hear what was being said. Once they went inside Ryker sprinted back to the car and we left. He told me after school the next day that when he talked to Aubree she said they were confused but then her older sister got her answer in a class that morning so she sent a text to Aubree saying the one we left was for her.
