Sarah's First Day of School

Sarah started pre-school this fall. She attends Challenger two half-days per week. She is learning so much and really enjoys her time at school.

Ryan and Jack

Ryan had so much fun this summer playing with his best friend, Jack.

Cabin

We spent a lot of time at the cabin this summer. One of our favorite cabin trips was spent with friends. We took Jer and Regan with baby Riley for a sleep over. Sarah loved spending time with baby Riley. We always enjoy time with Angie, Casey and the boys. They are our best friends.

Camping

We introduced the kids to camping this summer. They LOVED it. We did many small trips around Utah. These pictures are from a family camping trip in the North Fork of the Duchesne River. This is where Jeremy taught Ryan how to fish. It was such a fun trip.

Daddy's Girl

I didn't realize how much Sarah takes after Jeremy until I saw these old photos. They could have been twins.

Mikelle and Crocodile Isle

A visit from Mikelle is always fun!

Happy 7th Birthday, Ryan!

Ryan's birthday was on the last day of school. Dada took a new bicycle, decorated with balloons, to greet him as he exited school for summer vacation. It was a spectacular moment. He was very happy.

Ryan's birthday party was spectacular, as usual.

Time with Cousins

Easter at Ritzman's Cabin

The Easter Bunny hid eggs and baskets outside in trees, rocks and fences. It was the most fun Easter!

Margaret Bird Dog "Maggie"

This is Maggie. She is a two year old German Short Hair. Her previous owners were unable to keep her and we had an available dog bed. She spends her days establishing dominance over Leo, making sure that he knows she is the alpha. She is super submissive to the kids and they both love her. She has a level of energy that I have never seen on a dog. She is a total nut!

Happy Birthday, Sarah Quinn. 3

Sarah turned three years old this February 14th. For her party we had all the cousins and friends join us at the pool for swimming and cake. It was a great time and all the kids really seemed to have fun.

The kids started shuffling after they ate cake. Ryan is very good at shuffling!

Sarah received some really wonderful presents. I haven't been able to get her out of this blue fairy dress since she opened it.

On the evening of her birthday we enjoyed a quiet night at home. We had a special cake for her and a few more presents.


Sarah, you are such a sweet girl. We are so proud of you and all that you do. You are a good, smart, beautiful, fast, amazing girl and your family cherishes you! Happy Birthday!

Lola Bean: Sept. 17, 2003 - Feb. 13, 2012

I am completely shattered to announce the passing of our dear Lola. She was such an important part of our family and she will surely leave an open wound. Lola, your wonderful spirit and limitless ability to chase balls will never be forgotten. We love you so much and will miss you more than words can express.
