Riley turns 5!!

Time flies! I can't believe that my Riley is 5 today. 5 years ago was one of the happiest and scariest days of my life. I went into labor 3 weeks early. He turned into an emergency c-section. His lungs were not developed and he had to be life flighted to Salt Lake. He got to come home 10 days later on the 4th of July. He is the sweetest little guy. He is always happy and easy going. He loves to cuddle with mom and dad. He is our little buddy and helper. I love him tons and could not imagine our lives without him. He is one of my rays of sunshine...lucky me, I have a couple of those!

Memorial Day Weekend Fun!

Whew, talk about a busy weekend! But we had a ton of fun! It started Friday night with my brother Tanner's graduation. Afterwards we went to my parents house for a party. We had snacks, played pool and visited.
Saturday we decided that we wanted to go for a ride and decided to go to my father-in-law and brother-in-law's cabin. Unfortunately I forgot my camera. We had fun finding little trails to try out with our new jeep. Then we came home and went to another brother-in-laws for a barbecue. Sunday we finished our big flower bed out front. That took most of the day and then we went up to my parent's for dinner. They had smoked ribs-they were delicious!
Monday we decided that we wanted to do something fun again, so we went to nine mile canyon. I guess sometimes we forget what is in our own area. We had not been out there for years and went farther than we ever had before. It was a lot of fun to explore all the petroglyphs. There are a ton more out there that we want to go back and see. Some of them you have to hike into. We are thinking that maybe we'll go camping out there for a weekend so we have plenty of time to see it all. And of course we had to try out a few trails.
I think this was a great kick off to the summer!
