Hey yall! So I am starting a simple blog about me and Riley... She is growing so fast and it is just so hard to let everyone know what all is happening in our lives! I will update anything new and exciting that happens including photos, videos and things like that! I also have another blog (Laugh Loudly under my blog list), its mainly for moms but has good stuff for everyone! Love you all! :)

Trick or Treat!!!

Tonight we went to our Church's fall festival and Riley won the Cutest Costume award!! She was very excited, especially about the fact that she got a glow stick necklace :) Below is a video of her 'moo-ing' on the way home from going to see Tad and Brian. She would not moo the entire night until we were on our way home!

Bundled Up!


For some reason it wont load the pictures the right way! :( She was begging to go outside all morning so she finally went out with Grandpa!

Little Gymnast!

Last night Riley decided to entertain us during the Ranger game by doing somersaults! I had no idea she could even do them on her own so this was very exciting!! In the video she is kinda of flipping to the side but she can actually do it straight haha.

Riley's First Fair!!!

Well last Thursday was Riley's first experience at the fair! She absolutely LOVED it!!! She even road the little rollar coaster all by herself!! She was such a big girl! She also got to pet the goats :) Below is a video of her riding the carousel. Brian Eaves took some great pictures so hopefully I will be able to put them on here soon!

Booster Rooster!

Riley has now moved to a booster seat! We decided that since she can successfully climb into her high-chair it was about time. She is ecstatic about it!! As soon as she got home from daycare today she was demanding that we put the seat in the chair so that she could eat. She also likes to take it into the living room to sit on (mommy.... not so much)    :)

Lion King and First Carousel Ride Kinda Day

Well Friday was a VERY eventful day to say the least.. At least for Riley! Me and mom took Riley to go see the lion king in theaters. She loooooves lions so we thought this would be great. Key word 'thought'. Well she loved about the first few minutes... She was roaring at the lions and doing her happy dance. It was so cute! But alas, all good things must come an end. She then began crying and being squirmy, so much that we had to leave the theater :( she has about 3 teeth coming in right now so she hasn't been in a very good mood, but I guess it was a good try anyways! Pictures of Riley and Simba are under the pictures tab! Second story of the day.... We had to pick up Matthew from the airport late that afternoon so after we left the theater we went to the mall to waste time. We were coming up to the foot court, where the Carousel is and Riley begins screaming and kicking her feet up and down pointing at the horses. Luckily they were happy
screams :) we could not get her out of the stroler fast enough! She LOVED it. When the ride stopped she was very...VERY upset. I have a video of her but for some reason it wont upload right now.. I will try to get in on later.  All in all... it was an interesting day with a teething Riley. :)

3 Little Words

So for the first real post!..... At the beginning of this week Riley learned to say "I Love You". And boy was she excited! Now she says it all the time! This week it has been used ALOT... right under "Thank You", because Riley apparently thinks that saying "Thank You" goes for giving and not just receiving :). As most of you know, this week Matthew has been in Rome (Yes I am totally a jealous little sister right now!) and so this video is especially for him! Enjoy!! :)

Getting Started

Hey yall! I know I have a facebook and all that to keep in touch with most of yall, but its kind of a pain to post everything that I would like to about Riley on there! Soo I am going to keep all the exciting info here on this blog! It is really hard to keep in touch with everyone to let them know if something new happens so hopefully this will help!
