Matt's Colorado Surf Training

He came up with a way to get ready for his upcoming reunion surf trip. So fun! The boys love it too. Joshua is darn good. But, Matt definitely steals the show.

Some Summer Fun!

Happy Father's Day and Happy Birthday to Joshua!!

Sunday we celebrated two wonderful holidays. Of course we celebrated Matt, he's almost over qualified, and Joshua who turned 5. We had a HUGE birthday party for him and he LOVED all his gifts. His love language is gifts, so he was in heaven.
Here are a few photos from the day and also a few from the lake last weekend. Matt and Caleb got up on a wakeboard together. So fun!

5 Things we LOVE about Joshua:
1. He is a wonderful and kind big brother
2. He has one of the most creative minds I've ever seen in a little boy
3. His love of fashion
4. His athletic body and ability
5. That he still wants kisses from me when I drop him off, and that he still holds my hand : )

Happy 9th Anniversary to us!

Look what we got ourselves...Happy Anniversary! We got a motorhome and didn't have it but 48 hours before Matt had the carpet and linoleum ripped out and replaced with wood floors. He did a great job, as always. Here are some before and after. We are taking it to the lake next week and the boys couldn't be more excited. There have already been two sleepovers in it since we've had it. It sleeps 6-8... big enough for this family of 6 and our dog : )

We are looking forward to all the great memories that will be made using our new RV.

Bathroom Before Remodel

Final Bathroom Remodel Pics

Matt remodeled our master bathroom for my bday present and it turned out GREAT as you can see. He did all the work himself, meaning no professionals. He had some help here and there from my dad and Gary. It is SO NICE! Thanks babe.

New Camera...so much has happened.

So much has happened while we've been without a camera. To name a few... Backstage passes to Third Day, the purchase of a blow up waterslide (so fun), I turned 31 (yikes), Joshua got a tooth pulled, Matt remodeled our bathroom for my bday present, we went to Yellowstone and attended a wedding. Wow, it's been a busy month. Here are some pictures with the new camera.

Here is one of Piper and Levi. She just loved on him all weekend. He was quite fond of her too.


Here's a picture taken at the reception in Billings Montana.


Team Rillos all in one photo.


Here is the waterslide that we bought. It's going to keep us cool and busy all summer.

Caleb and his buddies/brothers at his field day last week.

Here is a shot of Matt working on my bathroom. It's almost complete. I'll send an updated picture in a few days when it's done. It's going to be GORGEOUS.

Here's a picture of Nikki, Patty, and me before we got to meet Third Day. It was a great concert.


I took this picture of my mom and me on my 31st birthday.



Levi was enjoying some dirt at the campsite in Yellowstone.


Kipp, Matt, and Steve hanging out by the fire.

Josh and Noah are the best of cousins.

Here is a shot of Joe holding Levi after he had just eaten quite a breakfast. You can tell by his face though that he is done with food and wants to get down and move.

Grammy holds an ever so cute Levi.

Caleb and Izzy pose for a picture. Izzy lives in Steamboat, so Caleb was excited to get to hang out with her for a few days.

Kari and I wanted to document that we were actually there, so we made sure to have a picture of us taken.


Buffalo were roaming all over Yellowstone. It was quite fascinating.
