Grandpa Ricker

 I started feeling bad that I had not posted about my grandpa Ricker.

 1st off, we all know how much he loved the Irish,  he always was there to kiss you at a graduation.

 he loved his family more than anything. this is one of my favorite conversations i had with him on grandparents day when i was in kindergarten  grandpa: Anna want a piece of gum?
                                                                      me:no i can't i'm in school.
                                                                       grandpa: oh, maybe later.

                                           Ricker  wasn't selfish at all

  This was at my Baptism. Some of my favorite memories with him, fishing at Catalina Island, we got squid to put on the hooks and he loved it. Deer Valley, he told a story of a moss hand that would come up and grab all the boats that weren't plastic. We had a plastic boat. About a year later I had a nightmare that Maxwell was grabbed by the moss hand and was sqooshed really hard and died. My Grandpa was very descriptive with Ghost stories, they can really give you nightmares. My personal favorite was the rat story. It was a true one.

 I miss my Grandpa very much and wish he was still here. He set a really good example to his kids and grand kids.

hiking

 We went to Stewart falls.                                                                                                                               It was a long hike but we made it.                                                                                                                 There was tons of Stinging Nettle and bumble bees.                                                                                                       BUT IT WAS FUN!

Good bye summer!

 There has been a bunch of fun things going on this summer like Lego building,

                                                       swimming,

                                                          a lot of gardening

                                                   and swim lessons.

                                       Okay, Brigham has been loving the laundry basket! I am going to miss summer!

Its party time, DOG PARTY TIME!

 Ruben had his 1st birthday party

 What a yummy cake!

Thanks for participating.....

cochi

Brutus

Wrigley

Patches

 I didn't expect Ruben would get presents, but I was excited he did.

It was kind of crazy at first. We had to un-invite a bull dog, she didn't get along with the birthday boy.

Patches is nice, she just makes a weird face when she is playing.

                                                      How is my Dad holding this big dog?

                                                                       Me and Ruben

                                      We had a talent show, the dogs showed off their tricks

"Shake"

"Sit"

"Bang!-Bang!"

"Cute Face"

                                                               We had a relay race,

                                                                  It got kinda crazy.

                                                             The Dogs loved the cake.

                                                    Tired from your Awesome Party?
