Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Grandma Richards!

How'd it feel to get a snow ball thrown at you by your grandson?
Love you!

It snowed!

The morning after the wedding the kids awoke to SNOW!



Grandma & Grandpa opened the door to let the kids get a feel for the snow











The kids quickly got dressed so they could go outside and play in the snow



Rolling snow for a snowman



When that didn't work so well, Austin & Grandpa had a snowball fight





Once the snowball fight was over, Grandpa pulled out his tractor



Even Abigail got a turn driving the tractor



She wasn't very happy when she had to let Austin have another turn



Grandpa couldn't get the tractor out without putting it to work. He and Austin plowed the driveway before coming inside.

They had a great time playing in the snow and driving Grandpa's tractor around the yard. You should have seen the yard once they were done!

February 13, 2009

The Friday after we arrived in Michigan we had the privilege of attending Uncle Ben & Aunt GiGi's 5th anniversary wedding.





As we were flying from Houston to Detroit I was thinking about my dress for that evening. Then it suddenly occurred to me that I FORGOT MY DRESS! Luckily we went to Kohl's and the first outfit I tried on turned out to be perfect.

The Ringman Family. Minus my husband who's been scoring high test scores and is at the top of his class at Ft. Leonard Wood.



Grandpa Ringman and two of his grandkids



Aunt GiGi & Brenden ~ Didn't she look gorgeous!



Cake time





Oh boy, there it goes...



What happened Uncle Ben?



Aww!



Parents of the groom (aka Grandma & Grandpa)



Riley sure loves her Daddy



Mother & Son dance



It's party time!





We tried for a good picture of the three of us



And ended up with this by the end ~ which is kind of my favorite!



Four generations of Ringmans



Four generations + Austin



Look at my sweet boy! He had a blast at the party.



He even knew how to do the chicken dance!



Austin & Aunt GiGi dancing during the dollar dance. What a stud muffin!



Even Abigail danced with Uncle Ben during the dollar dance!



Abigail found herself a partner on the dance floor. Good thing her Daddy wasn't there!



Our little princess



Love that smile (and hair bow) Riley!



I even got to meet Jana for the very first time {in real life}! Sassy aren't we?



Abigail was obsessed with crawling under the tables



Austin dancing the night away with his Great Aunt Tenia & Uncle David



My kids had an absolute blast at the party! I couldn't have asked for two better kids. I'm so glad we were able to be a part of Uncle Ben & Aunt GiGi's special day.

With my fabulous new camera I took a total of 261 pictures that evening. Some of the ones above are my favorites, but if you would like to see all of them you can click here or on the picture album below.

The birthday girl

On Abigail's birthday we celebrated by eating cake & ice cream with Grandma & Grandpa Ringman.

We ate Dora cake



Abigail enjoyed a little frosting before blowing out the candles







Grandpa lit the candles



She wasn't quite sure what to think of the candles and our singing!



But she sure did enjoy her cake & ice cream



Then they both got to open their birthday presents





Abigail loved the Barbie stuff she got!



Thanks for celebrating her bithday with us Grandma & Grandpa!

(More posts & pictures of our trip to Michigan will be appearing over the next few days!)
