May the Force Be With You...

She is so fun!

Boy Has Time Gone By...

I apologize for my slacking ... Riley is almost 19 months old now. She loves her Kitty, still loves swings and the outdoors and has many words on her list now!

She is so funny and amazes me more and more everyday. She took a toddler gymnastics class... So cute! She was very proud of her bar hanging abilities as well as jumping on the trampoline.

She has been enjoying playing with her cousins as she has 6 now!

Many recent pics...

Reading My books...

Squirrel...

At the park, Riley is always meeting new friends which includes doggies. This week it was a squirrel... Or almost... She tried and tried to get close the the squirrel to 'pet it' ... She even chased it but it was not in the cards that day...

Thumb...

Never really took a pacifier... But the thumb has become comforting...

Spuds and Swings...

I think her new favorite food is mashed potatoes!! And you can't pass a swing without trying it out a little bit!

Happy Easter...

Riley had a great Easter and what a beautiful day it turned out to be! Hope everyone else did too!

Meeting My New Cousin...

Hello... Rozlyn Joy!

Big Day of Adventures...

Our last day in St. Louis...a strong finish! We started out at the City Museum... Awesome... Especially for older kids and even big kids! Quite possibly one of the coolest places I've been! Within the museum was the World Aquarium... Not awesome but definitely entertaining! Afterwards... We strolled by the arch again and went on the River Cruise! A nice hour long ride checking things out from the water! Enjoying the beautiful day with a nice stroll back... Nap for Riley and pool time... Now chilling and getting ready for the NCAA Championship with the best pizza in town!

St Louis Zoo...

We couldn't have asked for a better day! The weather was gorgeous...and i don't think I have ever been to an awesome zoo that was free! Amazing!

St. Louis...

Having a blast in St. Louis so far!!

The Big One Year Old...

March 22, 2012
Riley is now officially one year old! We had an amazing celebration! It started off with a small family gathering the Saturday before. She had owl cupcakes smeared on her face and lots of people staring at her! It was a wonderful family celebration... Minus missing the Hutchins's family... They were there in spirit!

On her official birthday... Shawn and I were able to have the day off of work to spend with her. We went for a walk... Then to breakfast.. Got her pictures taken ... Took naps... Went to the park... And topped it off with meatballs for dinner... Her favorite!

Thanks to all our wonderful family and friends for all the birthday wishes and helping to make this day so special!
