The Life of Riley

Too Cool for School!

Mommy's little Cool Moe Dee! He won't wear his own sunglasses! But he will mine!

Besides going to see "Boom Boom" - what Riley did call thunder and now also calls fireworks 3 nights in a row! We also had fun in the sun AND water because it was SO HOT!

Josh & Kelly took him swimming one day. I love it! He's squealing like a little girl that Josh is going to get him, then as soon as Josh starts going the other way he shouts "I here!" like come get me!!

Kelly and I took him to the splash park Darcy turned us on to last year one day! It's still a FAV! He LOVES it! Especially when Daddy plays too! So funny though - every family there was there with little boys! Gotta let them run that energy off somehow!!

Riley's Rocket

Two nights ago Kelly and I were cooking dinner, and out of no where Riley walks up hands this to me and says "Look Mommy! I drew a rocket!"

I couldn't believe how good it was! He's usually just drawing circles or something! So I had to do the Mom thing and take a pic!

Donuts for Daddy @ Sloan for Father's Day

Sloan has Donuts for Daddy for Father's Day every year, so Kelly went to school with Riley in the am for donuts! Which is AWESOME! Because they are a favorite of BOTH Riley & Kelly! We've been having them every weekend for WAY too long now!

Daddy & Riley about to head to school for Donuts with Daddy!

Daddy's hat Riley made him!

Sweet Ms. Ashley!

Another pic of Daddy sporting his new custom made hat at the end of the day!

Daddy also got a Vitamix blender for his birthday! So we've been having very healthy and very yummy shakes and concoctions out of it almost every day since! Orange sorbet anyone? It's like a new toy! Every time Kelly turns it on Riley says "Daddy's making shakes Mommy!!"

Riley & Daddy playing in the Vitamix blender box b/c that's what boys do!

Riley trying on Daddy's big shoes! He'll be filling these shoes WAY before Mommy's ready for him to!

Annual Memorial Day Weekend Camping Trip

We had a great time on our annual trip to Beavers Bend, Oklahoma this year! Josh & Nancy joined us with Angie, Korey, Kaden, Ami, Aaron and another new couple Michelle & Will. We had 10 adults and 6 kids this year!

Having cable tv was a must! And the Toy Story movies bought us enough time to fix dinner/lunch on more than one occasion. The guys played golf one day, the girls went to Girls Gone Wine! And the girls took the kiddos to ride a train the day the guys went to play golf. Other than that - it was great food, great friends and good family fun!

We had a great smores night too! Yummy! And the game of the weekend was definitely bean toss with karaoke night and moth swatting coming in a very close tie for 2nd! Actually...Aaron's moth fight had to have been the "pee your pants" highlight of the trip! LOL! Yes...there were moth's injured in the fight, but it had to be done for the safety of everyone else!
