what we've been up to

Well, we'll blame our internet being out, and visitors for our lack of updates on the blog. We've had a busy summer. McKenna flew out on Sunday after what felt like a short stay. She got a cell phone right before coming out here, so she perfected her texting all summer. Jason's parents also visited for about three weeks. They parted their 28 foot (I think) RV in our back yard. We had four adults, two kids and five (yes FIVE!) dogs.
Here are some pictures -

Gramms and Gramps got Riley a new bike.



Here are Riley and Solitude. They became pretty good buddies. Our dogs kept a pretty close eye on the new puppies to make sure they didn't do anything to Riley.



Gramms, Gramps and McKenna went to the Smokey Mountains for a few days.





Before McKenna left, we took the girls to Sears to get some pictures taken. This year did not go as well as the last. Riley was not at all interested and cried most of the time. We got about three or four good pictures.




... and more that were not so good.
