What a week!

We had a week full of family. Everyone was in good health and turned out to be a good week for everyone. My parents and sister arrived Wednesday night. Thursday the girls and grandma Ann headed for Fort Collins for a B-day shopping trip at ToysRus, lunch and a movie. Friday my parents, sister w/ her family went to boondocks for a round of mini golf, go carts and token games, topped off with a couple hours in the pool. Friday evening Aarons parents and sister arrived, completing the group party. Saturday morning Rylie was baptized, which happened to be her on her birthday. She was so excited, and we are so proud of her for her consistent decisions to make good choices and always striving to please those around her. It was very sweet baptism, Aaron was choked up though the whole thing, having to pause before each blessing. Rylie had LOTS of friends and family come and show their love and support. We headed back to the house for a BBQ, and then Ry wanted to go to the rec center for more swimming. My family left early Sunday morning, and we were able to enjoy the rest of Fathers Day with Aarons family.
