Cole's big #6 Birthday!!!!

Our handsome little guy turned 6.

Of course we love the summer birthdays, we rented a jumpy-house-water-slide, and the kids had a blast. It turned out to be at least 95 degrees outside. He had lots of friends, family, and neighbors over for the fun. Cole was coming off of having a high fever for 5 days and we were all praying all week he would get over it so we didn't have to cancel his party. He started feeling a little better on Sunday and woke up Monday morning ready to PARTY!!!! We love Cole, he's getting ready for 1st grade, he loves to ride and jump his bike, still hates to do chores or clean his room, loves baseball, football, and catching bugs.

He is our very FAVORITE little guy!!!

Nauvoo...

Lexi's Sleepover...

Lexi really wanted to just have a little summer sleepover with some of her friends from school she was missing. So for a little late and mini Birthday Party, we scheduled it. They all had fun just hanging out, then we set up a TV outside and they slept on the trampoline, ate popcorn, and watched Harry and the Henderson's. She had a great time!

4th of July!!!

We are getting the hang of this 4th of July tradition. It plays out smoother every year. We love the invite to swim at the Ranstrom swimming pool. We scarf down a little pizza, play in the pool, the guys played volleyball almost the whole time, and then we head home for a little rest. Then we bust out all the delicious food, and sit and watch the fireworks, with giant full tummies.

It was, of course, AWESOME!

The Rich Family

This is all of us... Dustin and I have been married 14 years now. We live together in the greatest cul-de-sac in Meridian. Dustin works for Western Heating. I work for Title Nine. I love it. What do we love? Heading to the ball field a few times a week to see Dustin play, watching the kids do what they love, heading up to the cabin every chance we get, and standing around outside with friends in the neighborhood just chatting while the kids play, oh and naps on Sundays after church...Not a bad life we have.

Alexis and Cole

These are the kidos. The greatest part of everyday for us. Lexi is 10 and Cole is 7. Time is flying by, and we feel blessed everyday to be parents! Everyday is a new adventure, two very different kids, Alexis is very much a girly-girl she loves art, and every little crafty thing she can get her hands on, she has a sweet heart and a bossy mouth :-) Cole is all boy, shooting things, kicking and throwing everything, and wrestling with his Dad. He loves baseball, basketball, and football, and even is starting to find a love for running. He is crazy forgetful, but a very sweet and loving boy :-)
