Four smiles in a row!!

We took some family pictures on the beach last week -

we actually got a few where all four of us are looking in the right direction

(no small task these days!!)

Thanks for taking them for us, Rach!!!

Summer Fun

We've had a blast the past few weeks - spending time up at Higgins with Ben's family left us with so many wonderful memories. It was especially fun to have the cousins together. We celebrated our niece, Maren, and Paige's birthdays, played outside, relaxed on the boat and enjoyed being a family.

We also spent a weekend with the Cory, Rach and Addison. It was so much fun to have Paige and Addie together for a few days - they had so much fun!

The Riedbergers and Ferwerdas

Best friends are the best!

4th of July

We had a great fourth of July up in Bethany this year.  We had a "Birthday/4th of July" Party for Paige after the parade.  It was fun to have all of the cousins and friends together to eat cupcakes, bounce in the bouncy castle, and play in the wagon.  We spent the night at a 4th of July party with incredible fireworks.  Paige loved them this year and woke up talking about the "rain lights in the sky".  Gotta love a 2-year-old's perspective!  Here are some pictures from our fun weekend:

Paige and her cousins, Cash and Bo
