Well,Well,Well!

This year, our well gave out. It took 3days to finish up.We were without water for a couple hours each day.The kids, especially Jack, loved the truck that came to our house.They were sidetracked during breakfast watching it dig and pump numerous times. Finally it was done. We had enough water to last probably for the rest of our lives. And Jack and Sadie are eternally
grateful for the chance they had to watch a truck dig our well.

Aunt Janeece is here!

We had the privlage of seeing Aunt Janeece and her kids! We went to the beach, a park, around portland,and had lots of fun!!!!!!!!! When we went to the beach we played in the sand and saw a baby seal! It was really cute! We got funky hats, a really cool toy store and lots more! We had a wonderful time and were really sad that they left.

Canada Trip!

In July, we were able to go 15 hours and see Grandma and Grandpa Ririe. It was a blast. We stayed there for at least a week and a half. We went to Waterton, Fort Macloe, Head-smashed-in-Buffalo-jump, and Writing on stone. We also got a chance to see Uncle Miles, Aunt Caroline, Riley, Trevor, Jessie, Jackie and their kids. We stayed for the Magrath day parade, went at least twice to get ice cream slurpies, and again had lots of fun! We came back and Mom still says were on vacation! Speaking of vacation, we are trying to save up to try to go to Utah for Thanksgiving! We had lots of fun on our trip and cant wait to go next time.

Quest Zoo

On Wednesday, June10th, ( Savannah's B-day) The Knight's of Riries decided to go on a quest to the zoo. Armed with snacks, diaper bag, and camera we entered the Animal Kingdom. We valiantly faced and caught (on camera) bears, tigers, eagles, giraffes, elephants, zebra's, and many more mammals and reptiles. We took a ride on a train to a faraway land. We had lunch as the wheels rumbled on the tracks. We came back to the jungle and saw more beasts then headed home. Some of the younger knights fell asleep on the way ( Jack and Sadie to be precise.)
When the lord got home from slaying dragons (and torturing patients), we had a celebration for Sir Savannah, as she was born that day. All in all, it was a day to remember.

Everthings growing

Everything is growing here. Our field, Dad's vegetable and Mom's flower garden, Conrad ( who is getting sooo big), Sadie (Who is so two), the rest of the family. There have been especially two big growths (birthdays) in the family. Sydney and Savannah have had their 11th and 13th birthday. Sooo exciting!!!!! Happy birthday Syd and Savannah!
