Flippinbounce part2

Mackers was perfectly happy walking around with his balloons...

And she's off..

She didn't even slow down...

Bracing for impact...

Kate digging her way out of the pit...

Syd thought Uncle Chrissy was so funny...

Of course the big kids had to have their turn...

Goose started out trying to do a back flip...

but he ended up twisting completely around...

and landing like a front flip! I would wager he couldn't do it again if his life depended on it...

Chris' turn...

He opted for a front flip...

Alanna didn't let the boys have all the fun...

Without a doubt she showed a lot more technique...

and executed a perfect front flip...

Grandnanna said I came up right at the end of Tye and Madi having an in depth conversation, I wonder what they were talking about...Probably who has the crazier siblings...

Sweet girl...

Again sorry for the poor quality of the pictures, but I hope you still enjoyed them.

Playing a little catch up here...

Kate picked the best place to have her and Wade's bday party...at least as far as my kids thought. It did look like a lot of fun. 

The pictures aren't the best, I had the hardest time trying to get my settings right. I finally just gave up, I was missing all the action. Bad pics or not you can still see that everyone had a great time!!!

Miles was a little Monkey on the rope wall...

Taking the leap...

Kate really liked the rope wall too...

This was her attempt at a flip! That's what she told me anyway. I laughed so hard. She just jumped straight out, she didn't even try to flip.

Peek-a-boo, I see a Tenley head in the foam pit...

Rachal jumping in...

Luke was fearless, running all the way from the back, doing flips, jumping high, he was fun to watch...

Jessica demonstrating how hard it is to get out of the foam pit...

Rope swing...

She looks like she is about to flip...

Luke's turn on the rope swing...

Who knew a trampoline in the floor could be so much fun?

Sydbo's turn, she didn't really share very well, she would just run people off...

Yup definitely my monkey child. He would climb up the wall, then crawl through the wall...

Then hang from the wall...

and finally drop from the wall...

Sweet Ian, he had to think about it for a minute...

Then he took the leap...

Not sure what happened here, but if I had to guess I would say that Syd didn't wait for Kate to get out before she jumped in...I know, you're surprised right? Yeah, me too!

Love this little Man...

Stay tuned...there is more to come...

Let the School Bell Ring...

School kicked off this week at our house. I was a little worried it would be a rough transition since the kids stayed several days with their cousins in Midland, and then practically turned around and stayed a week with my parents in Colorado. I was pleasantly surprised, I guess they were ready to start school.

My 1st grader... 

 I don't know why it continues to amaze me, but she has grown and changed so much in a year. She is growing up so fast. She is loving 1st grade. When I showed her, her books for this year, she smiled and said "I have so many!" She finished last years books up so fast, I hoping these hold out a little longer. She really loves school.

 My little Pre-K Kiddo...

 I wasn't really sure whether or not I was going to start him with Pre-k this year, but every time we talked about it he seemed so excited that I thought, why not. He seems to really be enjoying it so far...I really hope the excited holds out, at least for a couple of weeks.

 What is a photo shoot without silly pics?!?!

 What a goofball...

And of course Sydbo isn't about to let them have all the fun! She wanted her picture taken too(yes, I realize that her dress is on inside out, but it's about picking your battles people. At least she has clothes on!)...

2012-2013 school year...here we come!!!

Our Bunch...

The 2nd annual Riggs reunion was a success! 

I could never be a professional photographer...too much editing! I'm doing my best though. Hopefully I'll be filling you in on our fast and furious long weekend.

Tree Climbing...

I found this picture that Goose must have taken...

I miss my tree climbing, fun loving little boy! I know he is having a great time staying with O'ma and Pop.

Picture Time...

Posing with their Momma...

Now let's add Aunt Suzan(Debra's sister)...

Just the Ladies...

Beautiful Mother and Daughter...

OUTTAKES...

The boys were being a little difficult...

Brothers...whatcha gonna do?!?!

Their best football "think necks" pose...

They think they are so funny!!

Ok, so it was a little funny. 

I hope I don't get into trouble for sharing the outtakes...I just thought they were too funny not to share!

Who Knew...

Eating fruit could be so much fun?!?!?!

Cherry Chipmunk Cheeks!!!
