New Pics
I made some new photo albums which are located in the side column. They are of camping, Thomas the train, boating, fishing, et cetera.
Summer Fun
What a full summer it has been! Jason is really enjoying having no school and his rowing class. He is already signed up for the next class and would like to eventually get to do a little competing in it. He is looking forward to the relay coming up. Him and his cousin have been occasionally running together to prepare. As a matter of fact, Jason is out running right now! I have been enjoying pilates, but I've been so sore it hurts to cough or breath! I love it. Work has been going really good for me, and I actually enjoy getting to go to different areas around the city, see different things, meet different people, et cetera. Riley has been having a great summer. Her daycare goes on two field trips a week during the summer. Last week she went to the reptile house and held a snake! They also went to the kangaroo zoo where she saw a little joey in the mama kangaroo's pouch! Wow - I've never seen that! She loves her gymnastics class. We're at a point where she is waiting patiently in line for her turn, which is a huge plus for us - trust me:) Riley loves riding her new bike, and I can hardly keep up with her. She has had two accidents, but she gets up and right back on her bike without so much as a whimper. She can open doors now, and when she does it she will say, "Look at my arms. I'm getting so big! " I bought a new shirt the other day and when Riley saw me she said, "Mommy, I love your shirt; it's beautiful!" Okay, you gotta love that! We won't even mention the fact that Jason didn't even notice it was a new shirt, huh?!!?

Camping
We went camping last weekend and had a great time. It was so nice to get away from it all and have some nice meals over the campfire. I don't think there is anything more relaxing to me than camping: the outdoor smells and noises of nature. Oh, and did Riley love it. She was so busy in the tent, pretending it was her house. Riley could sit by the water forever and throw rocks in the water. She just loves it. Hopefully, we'll get to do some more camping soon. I've picked out several spots I would like to go to!

A Day Out With Thomas
We had a great day out with Thomas! Check out all of the album pics on the side. Thank you so much, Mom and Dad, for going with us. Even though your hearts were hurting over the weekend, you still put out a smile and had a great time with us. Thanks you.

Just Another Day at the Ranch!
We had a great time in Idaho over Memorial Day weekend. As a little girl, I have many great memories of the ranch. It makes me feel so fortunate that Riley will be able to have some of the same memories. Wish Grandpa Zain could be here also, however. Part of my memories are of him coming home from logging. I can remember the smell of pine and hard work on him as he would walk through the door, sit down on his kitchen chair, remove his boots and socks, and grandma would pour him a nice cold beer, and of course put just a little bit in the glass for herself. Then they would just talk about their day and just sit there relaxing with one another. When I was there, I would sit on the porch step eating my strawberries and cream that grandma had made me from the strawberries I had picked that day.
Riley had a great time driving the truck with papa, watering flowers, and many walks enjoying the fresh air!
