Ricker Reunion
I've been a Ricker for almost 5 years now and had yet to attend a Ricker reunion until this summer. It was over just passed the Dalles and we had a blast! We were right on the river and just had a great time with family.
We borrowed my parents RV for the weekend. Not sure if you can still call this camping.

One day Jay & I decided to take Gwen to Blue Lake park and she LOVED it! While we were there Jay went into the lake while Gwen and I watched (kids under 5 aren't allowed in the lake), when Gwen climbed up a 2 foot fence & flipped right over it, landing on her face and then flipping over onto her back. I felt so bad. I was right there, but couldn't get my pregnant body there in time to saver her. She had quite the scrape under her nose, which you'll notice in some pictures.
This is where she spent most of her time...
Yup, she's drinking it. Awesome.
Gwen gets a kick out of Jay's mole...
And she's wiped out, falling asleep playing with her hair (Such a little JayJay)Peg Leg Falls
We ventured out to Peg Leg Falls one Saturday just passed Estacada (Okay, along ways past Estacada). It was a pretty sweet spot, with rope swings, rock slides.
Hiking in, it was just a quarter of a mile
A look from afar... the falls were about 20 ft and you could slide down the left side
This little fall was man made...Hanging in the backyard...
Gwen has been spoiled this summer with fresh raspberries and blueberries
All gone!
Sprinkler under the tramp
Oh' man! They're quite the pair :)
Gwen... just being Gwen...
Sometimes when her hair is just crazy, we just leave it for a good laugh.
And some randoms...
One of our YW had a BBQ at her house, and she was nice enough to let Sawyer ride her little horse :)
This was at 30 weeks (I'm 36 now)
Gwen & Finn(The hose and green rope was Sawyer's doings... I have not clue)
She definitely get's her monkey business form her dadGwen has an obsession with toilets. We try and keep the bathroom door closed at ALL times, but when someone leaves it open, Gwen is the first to know, and this is how we found her.
And that was July... :)

Pretty cute kids! Love the extension cord and green strap around Finn....Sawyer is always getting himself in trouble!! And of course, you can't beat Gwen's bed-hair!! Such a cutie!
What a fun July you had! That campsite is beautiful! Also, Peg Leg too! So many cute pictures of Gwen and where to begin. Sorry about the face, poor girl....I was referring to you as the poor girl for not being able to get your prego body over there :)
