Happy Birthday Alexis, Your 9!!!

Our sweet Lexi turned 9! So CRAZY. We had a fun family day together, she woke up to a present from her brother a Go-Go Dog ( a robotic dog that you can walk, its barks and wags), and Daddy built her a new teather ball pole.

Then we packed a lunch and headed out to Roaring Springs. We played all day in the water, it was so so HOT. Then we headed home, stopped off at DQ for a delicious ice cream cake and enjoyed it together just the four of us. Simple and FUN.
Happy Birthday Alexis!

BEST DAD EVER!

We are so so blessed to have this unbelievable Father in our lives. The kids get so much of his time and his attention, he teaches them how to care for each other, how to work hard, how to laugh and joke, and how important his family is to him. Something special he does for them...every night as I try to quite them down and get them in to bed he is there getting them all worked up, wrestling with them or even snuggling with them, and then he tells them a different story from his childhood every nite. They cant go to sleep without hearing one.

We had a fun day, the kids woke up and fixed him pancakes, Lexi was sure his favorite were chocolate chip pancakes, Cole spelled DAD with chocolate chips, and Lexi made a HEART with chocolate chips, it made for alot of chocolate in those pancakes. They set the table all up and served him breakfast. (...turns out he doesn't like chocolate chip pancakes at all, but we haven't told the kids that yet)

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 :-)
