Chore Chart

Today Riley TOLD her daddy to give her 30 dollars to go to Wacky Bear. Shane said he didn't have 30 bucks, to which Riley's reply was "Well just go to the bank and give me the money!" So tonight we instilled the chore chart. At the end of the week we will add up all of the check marks then pay her. We also added 1.00 for every night she sleeps in her room by herself or with her brother. Is that totally wrong????!!!!! Let's all pray Wacky Bear money is incentive enough to give us our bed back.

Papoos tomato plant

A few weeks ago, papoo brought over a tomato plant to teach Riley how to nurture and grow things, thank goodness, because I can't grow anything!!. They had a lot of fun planting it, leave it to papoo to give me something else to feed!!!!!

Happy Birthday to you!

Well, another milestone reached. We celebrated Elijah's second birthday this weekend. However, we kept it simple with just my nephew's and grandparents. Fun was had by all, except mommy, who was very sad. Elijah was so excited to see his dinosaur cake, he gave it a big kiss!

Big Boy Bed

Big Shoes to fill

Elijah has recently taken quite the affection for his momma's shoes. Hope this isn't al flash into the future...... Steady as she goes!

Bridal Shower

So, last weekend my sister in law, Krissy was in town for her bridal shower which was hosted by me, her mother, and one of her friends. I must say I worked very hard on this and have been planning it since, february or March. I had a lot of help for Riley, who was sooooo excited, but grew very tired a the shower. So after many months, of agonizing decisions, stress, and excitement, the dream came to fruition, finally. I think it went off without a hitch. So just wanted to post a couple of pictures, and wish the best of luck to my sister in law!
