An Afternoon at Grandmas

Riley loves to play flower shop. Just a few pics. She did all the letters herself with a small amount of guidance for position. Amazing

New School Blues

Well, I guess we are well through the second week of school for Riley. I think she is adjusting better. The last couple of days have been better, at least. After much much agnst for her, and me, we finally came down to Riley having some anxiety about reading. So, Shane and I are taking the time to help her read everyday. We are starting with The EYE Book by Dr. Suess. We really have to make her sit still and try, but baby steps we take.

Happy Birthday

Today, I turned 36. Sadly life has been so busy, I haven't really had much time to reflect on this.....Maybe that's a good thing!!

Frog oots, Mommy!

OK, so this probably shows off how much of a redneck I can really be, but so cute. Elijah found Sissy's frog boots, and loves to wear them. These pictures were actually taken by Riley!! It was so hot outside and he was FIXING the jeep (the battery is run down). He said" Frog oots, mommy. Elijah fix it". My little man.

First Day of School

Well, today was Riley's first day of K-5. Even though we have been in K3-k4, today was particularly hard for me. I cried like a little baby. Riley on the other hand, was so excited. She got to walk in with her friend, Tanner. Let's all hope that this excitement continues through the years for school. Well, wishful thinkin' never hurt anyone. The outfit, from the headband to the hello kitty sandals was painstakenly picked out soley by Riley, and it was such a perfect fit for the personality! WHERE'S MY LITTLE GIRL!!!!!

MIA

So, i am sure you all have noticed that there has not been a recent post. We have just gotten our computer back after our two year old, decided it was pretty. So as soon as I get everything reloaded on it, I will get pics and updates.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Although, our children don't quite get the concept of today, it was a special day for us in my mind. Riley and I got to spend some much needed quality time together at the pool. Then this evening my family and my brothers family got together at his house to shoot fireworks and have dinner, catered by SONIC non-the-less. We had a wonderful time together and have hopefully started a tradition. We did unfortunately have a little accident with Jacob, our youngest nephew, getting a small burn on his hand, but other than that we all had fun. Hope your 4th of July was special.
