Gage and Ryker's Birthday and Conference in between.

I always have a tendency to dread September because it's so overwhelming with birthdays and stuff. This year I got an opportunity to squeeze in a NAADAC Conference in between. In was in Denver so I took my mom and Ridlee with me and stayed with family. Next years is in Houston and I hope to be able to go. This year got me wanting to start doing my own training's eventually. So that is now a goal of mine.

Ryker's birthday was on the 19th and he turned 11. Here he is enjoying some of his presents.

My conference was literally right between their birthdays. I got back on the day of Gage's 17th birthday.

Here is some of the art in the hotel at the Conference.
