What a weekend!

This is us trying to learn to longboard
This was the cake at my Shower on Sunday. We love our new church and they have been so good to us.
This is Riley while we all played outside on Saturday.
Leah and "moo" before we met Aunt Debbie.
Ryne was so nice to watch Riley so I could have some one-on-one sister time with the girls. :)
This weekend was wonderful as well as exhausting.
Hannah and Leah came to see Ryne, Riley and I this weekend and it was so much fun. Friday night we didn't do to much. We just got them settled in and visited. Saturday we got up early and met Aunt Debbie to give her and her friend their new puppie. "Moo", was Leah's first puppy to be sold! We came home and spent almost the rest of the day outside. It was such a nice day, so Tommy, Desi, Josh, Maryanne, Corban, Vincent, Brandon, and all of us played outside. We threw around a football, learned to longboard (o.k. more like attempt) and visited. It was a blast! That night we took the girls out to dinner at our favorite mexican resteraunt Papacitas. Oh and Brandon too since we were having mexican food :)
Sunday was a good, but long day too. First we went to church where everyone was excited to meet some of my sisters. After church we had lunch and a shower for Riley. It was so much fun and Aunt Beth and Laura even got to come. Riley got lots of great stuff. Thanks to all the ladies at Chalkhill Community Church for putting together such a wonderful shower for Ryne, Riley, and I. After the shower we came home where we got to visit with Aunt B and Laura a while longer. It was so great to catch up and talk about how things were going. Laura even held Riley and fed her. She did such a great job. It is funny because I can still remember getting to hold her and feed her. Beths kids sure are growing up fast! Corban was also excited to have a new playmate, even if it was just for the afternoon.
Aunt B and Laura, thank you both so much for coming. We love you both and we had lots of fun. Tell Bruce and the boys we said hello!
That evening Maryann invited us all over for dinner. It was GREAT. We had salad, homeade breadsticks and manacotti. Thanks Josh and Maryanne for having us all over. We had such a good time, and Hannah and Leah just loved Corban! Alas, the last day of our wonderful weekend had to come to an end. On monday Ryne watched Riley so we could go shopping in Tyler. Hopefully it was as good for Hannah and Leah as it was for me. Thanks Hannah and Leah for coming down this weekend. I knew I missed you, but I didn't realize just how much until today when yall weren't here.
Oh and thanks honey and preacher for letting them drive here all by themselves. They did a great job!
All in all, it was perfect.
p.s. Ryne and I played basketball with Hannah and Leah Sunday night
Bergrens vs. Blantons
-We totally won!

That must have been such a nice weekend!! I got to go home this weekend and surprise my mom and Abigail, which was so much fun...they were both so happy to see me.

And I LOVE that picture of Ryne and Riley--it's absolutely adorable. She's growing so fast--you need to make her slow down so she's still little when I finally get to meet her. =)

Rebekah, Ryan & little miss Riley - Thanks so much for having the girls down. They needed the break and it sounds like you did too! Your friends were so kind to Hannah and Leah - I think that Hannah wants to join you at Letourneau!! I'm glad that Aunt B and Laura came to visit as well. I'm proud that you are keeping up the blog - better than me! The pictures are great - love, Honey
