Good Ole family bonding time at the Ranch!

Yee Haw!!!

Big Brother Training Camp

McKell would only let her big brother, Kyler, teach her how to ride a bike without training wheels. With his expert advice, patience, and practice, she mastered the challenge in less than 10 minutes! Way to go McKell!!!

McKell is playing t-ball this summer and loving it!! She's one of the few that doesn't just play in the dirt the entire time. She takes it very serious- VERY serious. McKell and Cameron are on the same team.

Remodeling Grandma Ritchie's House

Kyler and Mckell pitch in and help work on the house Mike is painting, he got more on him than he did on the walls. He can't wait to do it again!
Here's what the living room looks like as of now! A work in progress!
Kyler's favorite thing to do is paint!
Mom and Kim are staining the cabinets- Thank you for all your help!!

Kyler took driver's ed and can legally drive now with an adult in the car. His friends say he was the best driver of the group and never got the "BRAKE" from the instructor. My favorite moments are when Kyler asks if he and I can go for a late night drive and we just talk. This is the only time I can get Kyler to really talk and open up because he doesn't want to quit driving. I'll miss it when he gets his official license and doesn't need me to go with him any more. So for now, I cherish the moments!

I thought Kyler was giving me a tender, heart-felt hug. Then when I saw this picture, I realized it was just a sham.

Kyler at his best and of course McKell at her very best!
