Riley Second Birthday

It seems crazy that Riley will be turning 3, and I am just barley posting his last birthday. It is amazing how fast time goes. If you can't tell by the cake, we had a cars party. It was a lot fun celebrating ri-bugs birthday. We spent a few hours at 6 flags discover kingdom, and went home and had his party. We even got a new gas tank, and filled it with root beer and had sandwiches at the pit stop. I think Jeremiah has a good future ahead of him making cakes.

Mommy Wow, I'm A Big Boy Now.

My little boy is finally potty trained. It was a challenge but well worth it. I have been changing diapers for the last 5 years. With the help from his grandmas giving him money and prizes. And the help of Thomas the train underwear. He is now a pro. On Sunday, as I took him to the bathroom, he said " Are there germs on this toilet, are they good germs or bad." I love my Riley bug and can't imagine life without him.

Morgan's Birthday and her Cousins Blessing!!!!

Always waiting

This last year and a half has been a challenging year. A year of growth, tears, stress, happiness, and love. It has been an adventure of new sights and snow free winters.It has been a soul searching year as I try to figure out who I am. It seems that I am always waiting for the right moment, right time to do things, and then I find myself waiting to long. I am that person that always saves a favorite shirt for a special occasion, wears a great looking pair of boots only once, and never wears that one lipstick that I absolutely love but goes with the free gift with purchase. Time goes on and you must go with it and be happy or at least try. As I look past at this last year, I feel like I was missing. I was present but not really there. Trying to adjust to new cities, new friends and new surrounding is not always easy. In fact sometimes I seemed to focus to much on the negative. It seems that I forgot what makes me who I am. As I look forward to the future. My new years resolution is to make ever day that special occasion day. My goal this year is to find out who I am and rediscover myself. I have been frumpy dumpy for way to long. It is time to wear the hair down, put a little more makeup on a regular basis, and wear those special boots.

October Fun

Labor Day Fun Part One!!! Yuba State Park

The Kids had fun paning for Gold. I think Riley just had fun playing in the water. Morgan found all types of treasures.

We had a fun day at Yuba State park. Perfect weather, a great place to play in the river. A great picnic and great company.

The Bond of Two Cousins

A picture is enough to show how much they love each other.

I cannot say enough about how much I love these two individuals. It is so much fun to watch them together. Morgan adores Shaylie her only cousin. She would do anything for her and tells me all the time that she wishes she could live by Shaylie. Even though there is a 5 year age difference, Shaylie is so willing to play with Morgan. It is some times sad that they have to grow up so fast.
Morgan calls dollar bills tickets. So today she asked me if we where going fast and a cop pulled us over and gave us a ticket, can we go spend it? If only it worked that way. I guess that is something Shaylie or "ISH ISH"( a nick name Morgan came up with because she couldn't say Shaylie) will have to teach her, the differece between money and a ticket. I love my ISH ISH, and JO JO (A Nickname Riley came up with for Morgan because he couldn't say Morgan). I love nicknames ecspecially "JO JO" and "ISH ISH".
