May, June

At this point, a picture update is the best I can do. . . Here are some pictures from May:
Aunt Shalann gave this dentist play dough set to Jeff a few years ago. I came across it while organizing and getting ready for our move. Ryan played loved it and it kept him well occupied for a couple of days. Maren really wanted a turn at it too, but brother was really not into that! So I let her play with it one day when Ryan was napping. She loved it!!

Silly Maren!

One of our favorite family activities. . .Picnic & play at Horse Shoe Lake.
June was a busy month for us. We moved to Memphis, TN, but not before getting in a few week-long visits. First, we went to Spokane to see the Kunkels, we celebrated Jeff's, Shalann, & Grandma Kunkel's birthdays. It was a very nice, easy, & fun week, highlighted with lots of outdoor water fun! We also took family photos with all the Kunkels, you can see a sneak peek here: http://www.riantphotography.wordpress.com/ (Disclaimer: if you check out our the photos you will see that Maren was sporting a nice black eye.)



The kids LOVE uncle Todd!

Our second week long visit on our way to TN, was Salt Lake City to visit the Smiths. My cute sister Sarah came down from Jackson Hole to hang with us too!

Cousin Kalli inspired Maren's inner Princess, with Grandma Smiths help Maren became a Princess too!

Dad thinks Maren is a really cute Princess, and so does she!
