Rigdon Family Update!

So again... it has been a while since I posted and who knows it could be a month or two before I post again ;) 
We have been up to so much! We rescued a Great Dane from DogsXL. His name is Fletcher and he is the perfect addition to our family. I'm so glad we decided to rescue a full grown dog. He is pretty much no work at all. He eats two meals a day, sleeps a lot, and stays around our yard when we are outside playing. We take Fletcher for two walks a day and it is probably our favorite time of the day :)
Fletcher
We love family walks with our doggy!
Weston learned how to ride his bike and he is pretty darn good at it! Sometimes he gets a little too sure of himself and ends up crashing. He gets right up and rides again! Love that kid.
He is 100% potty trained!!! Yay yay yay!
We celebrated at Ritas!
We are addicted to Strawberry "slurpees". We add so many other yummies to it too like: blueberries, bananas, spinach leaves, oj... pretty much anything we can find in the fridge. 
Helen was baptized on June 16 (her great-great grandmother Helen's birthday). The day was perfect and she looked like a little angel. So blessed to have her in our family. 
Then we headed to the beach for a few days!
Helen started eating rice and oatmeal cereal...
We went to the Jarrettsville Carnival. Weston had a blast!
The terrible twos are TERRIBLE! I have been working VERY hard to stay positive and keep my cool. Very hard. Keeping a routine is very important. So now every morning once I get Helen down for a nap, Weston chooses an activity card (build with blocks, playdough, play in sink, make a craft, work on letters, etc.) and we play together. Once the activity is over we can go outside and play. It seems to be working. 
Life is busy, but full of fun! I am looking forwald to more adventures this month!! Tomorrow is our four year wedding anniversary! Wow. A lot has happened in four years. Love my life!
