All caught up!

Ok, I am all caught up now........for how long though. I will try to be better at this since I know a few of you have been giving me a hard time about it. But hey, its only been 3 months since I posted. Not that bad!

Like Father Like Son

Just wanted to share this cute picture of Riley
playing golf out front. I think he has been watching
his Daddy play one time too many. I dont play
golf but I dont think the ball is supposed to be that big!

Disneyland!

We finally made it to Disneyland! I say this like we have never been before. We were supposed to go for Rileys 3rd birthday but Mommy got really sick! Then we all got sick, Gramma was in the hospital and we just couldnt keep this house healthy. So, we finally made it at the end of March and Riley was SOOO excited. That was the best part. We were lucky enough to stay at the Disneyland Hotel for two nights as well. So much fun. Riley loved that. He called our room "our bedroom". We had a corner room that over looked Downtown Disney and we were able to view the fireworks from Disneyland right from our room. Saturday was our Disneyland day and Riley couldnt wait to get there. He really liked Its A Small World and going through Toon Town. I tell ya, there is nothing better than seeing things through a childs eyes. Everything you have ever experienced before is so different. So much better. I already cant wait to be able to take him again.......but then those of you that know me well, know that is nothing new. :)

We chose the HOTTEST day to be at Disneyland though. We decided to take a break and found some benches in the shade and had some lunch and cold drinks while Riley played with some birds through a fence (see picture). To all our surprise, Alice and Peter Pan came running out of the doors from the "behind the scenes" area and straight to Riley. He was shocked at first and not too sure what was happening but they were checking out the birds with him. I was lucky enough to capture this picture. How cool! We had a great day and like I said, cant wait to do it again. I sooo need passes!

Sunday we headed to California Adventure. The new Toy Story Ride was totally cool. Riley really liked that and was really good in those long lines. We also went to the Playhouse Disney Live and he really, really liked that one. So did Mommy too though. So cute watching all those kids getting so excited!

Altered Picture Frame

Here is my first attempt at altering a picture frame made out of wood. I am afraid at trying new things, especially trying to put THREE patterned papers together. I love how this turned out though and have a lot of comments on it! I think I will keep altering! :)

My First Creation Other Than A Scrapbook!

This is a 12x12 tile that I picked up from Home Depot. I applied vinyl to it that I cut from my Cricut. It was a birthday gift for Aunt Linda.

Mom C Visits For A Week

March 18-24, Kyle's Mom came out for a nice visit. Unfortunately Kyle still had to work so we just hung out around the house with the kids. It was fun to just visit though instead of always running around. Over the weekend we headed to Menifee to have dinner with Uncle Sweet & Aunt Linda so we could celebrate Mom's birthday. It was nice to get together with them too while she was in town. Riley had a great time with Grandma Teri while she was here and didnt like it when she left, although you couldnt tell very much since he wouldnt give her hugs and kisses! But then again, he is still pretty stingy with everyone!

Midnight Snack......

I kick myself for not taking better notes, or keeping up with this darn blog better......since now I don't remember the date for this GREAT story. Well, atleast I think it is! One night Riley climbed out of his bed in the middle of the night. I am thinking it was the end of January sometime. I heard him and was wondering if he was coming into bed with us. I waited for him but he never came. So I got excited thinking what I actually heard was him just getting comfy in his own bed and going back to sleep. Then I started hearing other noises and I had to get up to check. What I found when I came down the hall was Riley sitting on the floor in front of our front door.......eating a bag of DORITOS! This was like 2am! I asking him what he was doing and he said "I am hungry Momma". OK! Well, this meant, he got up from his bed, wandered into the kitchen, CLIMBED up the counter and opened the cabinet to get out the bag of chips out. He was sitting in front of the door because we have little window in our door that lets in enough light from the street light outside. Smart kid! Too funny. So he had his little midnight snack, and I got him a cup of water and sent him on his way back to bed. Love it! Luckily for us midnight snacking didn't become a habit.
