Riggs Family Reunion Oct 2015

 Grandma Joyce and Grandpa Hal came up from Texas. They are 84 and 87. We couldn't let a family reunion slip by. Sad we are missing Leslie in these pics. It was great to see them. As we were all gathered around, Mark had asked Hal to leave a family blessing on us all.

Jake Blessing

 Jake was blessed on Sunday, June 7th 2015

 It was a beautiful blessing given by Jeromy in the Rocky Reach Ward in the East Wenatchee Stake. My brother Ryan flew from Georgia with his son, Miles to be there. Jeromy's brother's family also came. We had a lunch at our home after church.
He didn't cry or anything during the blessing and my mom made his cute! outfit!

 The "theme" of Jake's blessing was obedience. He talked about how he will be obedient and it will become something in his life that he tries to get others to join him. Jeromy told me after, he had the impression that Jake's obedience will be a physical protection to him.

 We love this sweet boy!

Harvest Time & Fair

These pictures are all out of order. Blame it on my blogging negligence. The kids work hard all summer earning money. One thing they can't wait to spend their money on is the fair! These are just a bunch of random pics off of Jeromy's phone.

Great Wolf Lodge

 We went to Great Wolf Lodge over Cole's birthday. It was lots of fun. It ended up being a Farm Bonus and the whole Riggs side of the family came. Jeromy organized it all and when checking in they had upgraded our room. It was awesome. We had two rooms, three queen beds, a living room, two bathrooms, jetted tub. Freaking awesome.

 We brought cupcakes to celebrate with the family. Unfortunatley there are no pictures of kids swimming and on the water slides. But I'm sure you can imagine we had lots of fun. Grammy and Papa watched our kiddos for an hour so Aaron, Lisa, Jeromy and I could go do some adults rides together. So fun! The torpedo ride was crazy and this outside hot tub "wo!" was not even hot. haha. good times!

 Cole is waaay into green and loves Hulk. But you have to say Hulk SMASH!

We were there three days and two nights. Since we were in Seattle I convinced Jeromy to head up a day early and look at this Honda Pilot I wanted to buy. It worked, I convinced him. We headed up a day early, drove up north of Seattle, got to the dealership around 2pm. And. it. was. closed.

It's been a month and I still don't have a new car. Boo. Jeromy's living it up. Argh!

and hopefully I can get these videos to work!

 

 

Summer Fun 2015

 Here is our blur of a summer in a nutshell. Jake was only 4 weeks when the kids got out of school-YIKES! Carter played flag football, we did lots of swimming, hot tubbing, loving our new baby kitties, and snuggling.
