Things going on

Just a few notes on the things that are happening here.

Neeve turned 3 a few weeks ago. Between the ketchup face and the Medusa hair she is quite the Birthday Girl!


Jon snapped his Achilles tendon in a pick-up game of basketball.


And the rest of for a little camera time.

Little Livvy

Here are some additional photos of our cute gal.

Yes she is a smiler :)

Fire and Water

We finally burned out Chirstmas trees from the last couple of years. We went out by Utah lake.




This is the level of the Spanish Fork river by our house - it is up about 4 feet from normal. Last night we noticed a damp spot on the concrete basement floor - 4 or 5 of our neighbors have flooded basements right now - but until now we have managed to avoid it. This morning the spots seem a little drier - but we are taking the wait and see approach.

Here is Livvy!

We have decided to name her Olivia Ryskamp, Livvy is what we will call her.






This is Easter Sunday - I thought this photo was worth including.

Which one is New?

Which is the New Baby?

Germany

After Jon finished his office time in England, we took off to Germany for 2 days. We had a really fun time - even though Jon's wallet was stolen in the airport, and I booked tickets that were PM instead of AM, but after the first couple of hours there, we were having a great time.

We ate dinner the first night in a touristy spot, but the atmosphere was super fun!


We went to see the set of Castles near the Austria border -Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau, then crossed the border to have dinner - just to say we went to Austria too.






Vils, Austria

England

This is us wandering around Guildford, trying to stay awake long enough to get over jet-lag.



Sunday afternoon we took off to Portsmouth and got to do a walk through of the ship Victory - which fought in the Battle of Trafalgar.




This is back in Guildford - my favorite building - the Guild. It was interesting and I got to wander through by myself and sit as long as I wanted in the plush velvet chairs.



Guildford Castle - just ruins left.



I liked this narrow little walking path between the buildings - Character.



This is in Brighton - it is a Royal Palace. It was an interesting walk through, but very gaudy. I decided to go to Brighton just to say I had been there - oft mentioned location from Pride and Prejudice.
