Halloween preview

  

Keeping up with Riley's social calender is pretty tough. She got invited to the cutest Halloween party this week. Talk about a party.....3 clowns, games, food, you name it. How come we never had Halloween parties like that when we were kids? Anyways, she was the cutest little bunny rabbit I have ever seen!

It has been a few weeks since I updated the blog. We have all been pretty busy. Now that the weather is nicer we are always outside or meeting friends at the park. Riley keeps me busier than ever...chasing her around, picking up the aftermath of what we call a "Ri-nado", and trying to keep her from swinging from the fan!

Productive weekend!

 

I guess this weekend has been fairly productive! This morning I made brownies, tomato caprice salad, got the pork in the crockpot, and did the dishes all by 9:30am! Then I managed to shave both dogs while Riley "helped". Next on the list was swimming & vacuuming....check! Lunch..check! Get Riley down for a nap & mop...check! List our mower on Craigslist..check! Clean the rest of the house...ugh. Eddie got the grass cut & is camped out watching football. Our neighbors are coming over to swim & to eat some of that yummy roast I have cooking. All in all it was a good weekend....could be cooler, but oh well. 

**The pics above were taken this weekend. The first one was Riley right after she woke up. She had some killer spike hair going on, so I had to get a pic!!

Say cheese!

 
 

Here are a few more pictures I took of Riley recently. Don't you just want to squeeze her? She is a cutie that's for sure. She is getting bigger by the second too. She was about 33" tall at her 18 month appointment a few weeks ago. She still only weighs about 20lb though! Long & lean. I just had to buy her a whole new set of jammies. It was like she woke up one morning & her pants were up to her knees...like she grew overnight! She loves chasing the dogs around & running her doll stroller into them. She squeals & thinks it is hilarious when Stormy tries to jump out of the way. One of her favorite things to say is "Hey baby!" It is loud & crazy here, but we are loving it.

Things are going good for the rest of us as well. Work is going well for Eddie. I stay busy with Riley of course & in any spare time I have I love working on my photography & finding yummy recipes to cook every week. Luckily, we have started to get a break in the weather too. It has been really nice this past week. You could actually go to the park & not sweat! Bring on fall!
