Still enough daylight to shoot pistols...

D's turn...

Pam loved our kittens, that will soon be turned out, they need to get a little bigger. We only have barn cats at our house.

Ang brought the stuff for us girls to make our own earrings, although I didn't get any pictures of them, they turned out really cute...

Ra even found time to work one Dad's car...

 They told us to pose, too funny that we posed the same way without knowing it until we saw the pictures...

 Mom buttering up some homemade biscuits...that's right biscuits from scratch! You know you're jealous :)

 I told you we were busy!

2nd Annual Riggs Reunion Part I

The Riggs reunion was a success. At least I think so. Everyone came to our house this year. Even though we had it on Labor Day weekend(a long weekend), our time flew by. In 3 short days we; shot bows, got pedis, golfed, played raquet ball, shot pistols, made earrings, ate lots of food, and didn't get very much rest. It was great!! Between 4 of us we took over 1000 pictures, of course only about 300 of them are usable :) So here is a glimps into what the Riggs do for fun...

Madi so excited waiting for family to arrive...

A Week with O'ma & Pop

Ten and Miles got to spend the week with Mom & Dad(and Ang & Brooklyn). Mom let me download some pics from her camera so I could see a little bit of what the kids were up too while they were there. 

The rope swing was a huge hit...

My babies look way to grown up in these pictures...

They also had fun on the tree swing. Mom said the weather was perfect the whole time they were there.

Mom said Miles couldn't get enough of the lincoln logs...

Tenley got her first sewing lesson...

O'ma helped her sew a skirt...

Precious memories...

I have never liked that my parents live so far away from us. I grew up living 30 mins from both sets of my grandparents, we saw them all on a regular basis. It has been hard realizing that my kids will never have that kind of a relationship with my parents. Although it isn't the same by a long shot, it does help a little that they are getting old enough to go spend some time with them.
I would be lying it I said that I wasn't holding out hope that they would eventually move back this way.
