Hey Everyone, yes I'm still here! It's been way too long since I've posted, but with everything going on, it's kinda the last thing on my list. I just finished piano lessons, and I ended the year with a recital for the kids. It went great! We've gone to Oroville again, and stpent 5 nights there with our family. It's always so hot there! Ryken loved driving the boat with my dad, and would sit on his lap, drive the steering wheel, and push down the throttle, while saying "go faster!" The other thing my dad taught Ryken this weekend, was the name of the beer that he drinks. (My dad, not Ryken.) So yesterday in Canadian Tire, I'm paying the cashier for my things. Ryken sees the cooler with all the pop in it and loud and clear in that deep, low voice that he has, says "buuud." I burst out laughing 'cause it makes me look like the beer drinker! Anyway, these past few days have been crazy with dump truck load after dumptruck load of rocks, sand, barkmulch, and gravel, being dumped on our driveway, and hauled to our backyard. We've built a massive rock retaining wall, and hired a few landscapers to help out. I'll try to post some pics of the finished product!
