Well it is that time to catch up on the blog! We had a great summer, although it was a long and hot one. In June we went to Bahrain for a Father's Day weekend. The boys golfed and the women hung out at the pool with the kids. July we did our annual trip to Dubai, this time with the Harrington Family. Also in July we celebrated Jordyn's 5th birthday!
August was filled with trying to keep the kids entertained until school starts on Sept 10, 2011 and making it through another Ramadan.
Jaymee is entering Grade 2 and Jordyn is starting Kindergarten....where does the time go? Sit back and enjoy the blog.

Some more fun cakes I have made over the months of June. I stopped making cakes for the summer...I needed a break! But orders are already coming in for September!
Beer cake
Flip flop cake for a good friend. We had a Luau party for her, it was a blast!
Pirate cake
Boarding school cake. This cake was made for two families that had their daughters heading off to boarding school. I don't even want to think about that! Here we don't have High School, so the majority of the kids go to boarding school all over the world at the expense of the company. I can't imagine how hard it must be for parents to say goodbye.

This water shot up in the sky for over two hours before they were able to turn it off, funny thing it only took 20 minutes for the road to dry up!

Finally, here is Jaymee sing with all her Grade 1 friends for the final concert of the year. We are so proud of her, she has really come out of her shell. Her confidence has sky rocketed here....the once quiet, shy little girl is now participating in shows. Way to go sweetheart we love you!
That is all for now. Like I always say: we love and miss all of you, but we are having the time of our lives here!
Love,
The Richards Family
