10 Years

Brian and I have been married 10 years, this year :) I'm so thankful for our relationship and for our growing family.... The kids even got into it this year, and made us posters!

Memorial Day Weekend

We hope you had a fun Memorial Day weekend! We had a perfect mix of work and play...and here are some pics of the "play" portion :)

Visiting Family

Yeah!!!! The Alaskan Rife's are visiting, and what could be more fun than cousins playing at the beach?!

What a fun school project, for both Bryton and Brian :) Here is the finished product, proudly turned in by Bryton this morning!

A Blessed Mother's Day Weekend

What a perfect Mother's Day weekend we had: dinner w/ Amber, Jeremy, and 'lil Ben; Tori's Confirmation celebration (sorry, no pics :( ); and a day on the boat w/ family. I am blessed.

2 Cavity Free Kids!

So far, Bryton and Avery enjoy going to the dentist. Lets hope that lasts :) http://www.stocktondental.com/CavityFreeKids.aspx

This Week's Favorites

Mary Kay Suncare - Subtle Tanning Lotion: Smells good and gradually gives you a hint of a natural looking tan. Avacado's - of course, my favorite use of these are in guacamole, but plain, sliced up, with a little ground pepper on them and they are the perfect addition to any meal. Shaun White clothing from Target - this line fits Bryton well. Skinny Jeans - Still Avery's fav' to wear, in any color! Buss Boyz Customs, Lena, IL - Brian and I have always had extremely good service from them, whenever we have upgraded or changed cell phones. They are very helpful, prompt, and reasonable.
