Cienna - 13 Years 4 Months ... Kaylee - 10 Years 11 Months!

We all had no doubt that Rigby had the best last two weeks of his life that was ever possible. Unfortunately he ended up with either a hereditary or caused by ehrlichiosis disease that he had gotten before being rescued, seizures that led to pain and brain damage. He was such an amazing puppy and we are happy to have had him as part of our family. It was certainly a trying time for us all but we loved every moment with him. We can't say enough about what an amazing puppy he was.

Cienna started in person school 2 days a week and was quite excited and has been each day she has gotten to go be with her teachers and classmates. 

Kaylee took on the task of brushing Porter's teeth every week, she lost a tooth unexpectedly, and made a an "inspirational" sign for a gift to her super teacher for teacher appreciation week. 

We all did end up going on the camping trip the following weekend and did have an amazing time.  It was definitely a different dynamic than usual but, wow was it great! A usual "Brew Fest" for dad's birthday in Vail Lake ended up with awesome family time and bonding friendships over swimming, ice cream, pickle ball, soccer, mini golf, LCR, Smores, hiking, bike rides, and so much more! 

After a day of organizing and rest we celebrated daddy's birthday more with some homemade strawberry shortcake. Us girls then got to go to a rare outdoor multi person celebration party at Sierra's bridal shower! It was nice to see so many people that we hadn't seen in quite some time including meeting baby Emera for the first time, and of course get excited for Sierra and Robby's wedding coming up in mid July! 

Mother's day was spent the way it should be with spending family time together including a tailgate breakfast, this time in our driveway with food from Sunrise Cafe. Cienna and Mommy spent some amazing time painting canvas's and going on a beach bike ride to a local hole in the wall smoothie/juice shop taking advantage of her asynchronous days.

The girls finally got to do a gymnastics meet this year at a different gym against other competitive teams in San Diego. It was the Y State meet. They both did amazing competing Level 7! The did their giants on bars for the first time and nailed all of the other events. After the meet they got to hang out for a late lunch with the other teammates at a local taco shop. The Sklenicka's also came to meet up and hang out. We had so much fun seeing them and catching up after ALL this time!!

We're looking forward to more great times to come and cherishing all the times we have together and with others!
