Family get together's with Randy's family

We have had a fun summer with numerous get together's with Randy's family. Fun times with the pool, horses, and eachother.

Riley's past-times

Riley loves spending time outside.
and recently has decided to use the doggy door to come in and out at her leisure.

She loves spending time with her big brothers.

She loves drawing and coloring on anything she can find. She is into having you draw puppy's. Randy being the artist he is draws so many cute little creatures. Unfortunately, all my animal drawings pretty much look the same.

 Loves riding her bike down the driveway while holding her legs up to get speed.

 Riley loves to bike ride with the big people too, and has a blast on family bike rides down the trail.

Easter Time

Our annual family Easter hunt.

 Riley caught on really fast - yummy candy.

 Dylan was dancing his way to the eggs.

 Brandon is never to old to hunt for candy.

 Randy's youngest brother even stopped in for a nice visit.

Riley

 Riley loves her momma, and her momma loves her.

 She has so much fun with her big brothers and continues to follow them around and try to be big like them.

 Riley's favorite past-time. She loves to ride her bike and walk around the yard.

 I thought she looked so cute, so figured I would try to get some pictures.

Riley wanted nothing to do with it.

 I bribed with fruit snacks.

 It is hard to smile while chewing and holding fruit snacks.

Dylan's 10th Video Gaming Birthday!

Dylan had a great 10th Birthday on April 2nd! He invited over a handful of boys and then he had a surprise visit from his Maryland girl cousins. They had fun with Mario Kart Challenges, pin the pokeball on the pokemon. (artistic pictures provided by Brandon). They threw darts and balloons and gamed, gamed, gamed.

 Uncle Glen even got in on some of the action.

 Yummy Ice Cream Cake - it is the favorite in this house.

The gang's all here. Lots of fun. Happy Birthday Dylan.

Trying to fill the family's shoes

Riley loves shoes. We place our shoes by the side door when we come into the house. She continually tries them on and then gets frustrated when she can't walk in them. She always wants to go outside too. At 7am she brought me my shoes and put her shoes on and wanted to go outside to play.

 She found swim diapers in her room from last year, and kept insisting on putting them on her feet as thought they were shoes.

She is so funny and it is continually entertaining to watch her learn and grow.
