He's 1 month old!

So, today is Logan's one month birthday. I thought I'd finally put some more pictures of him on here. I haven't been that great at taking pictures of him, so I apologize to those who have been asking to see more. It's just harder to get pictures taken this time around, especially when trying to take care of a certain red head we all know and love. Anyway, here are some shots of our boy. (Just a note about him...he's a pretty good baby and when he is awake he is very alert and talkative, but he just doesn't sleep that well and that has been quite challenging. Any tips???0

Princess Kamryn

I just wanted to give a shout out to my friend Mary and thank her for making this crown for Kamryn. It was a big hit! We're hoping to get out to Mommy and Me again soon so we don't miss out on these fun crafts.

First Family Photo

I was really bummed that Kamryn wasn't able to come to the hospital to meet Logan...and I feel like we missed out on getting all those family pictures with me in the hospital bed with both kids and more with Jason and I together and just the whole family. So, finally we got a picture of the whole family together.

5 wonderful years...and the greatest anniversary present!

Our 5 year anniversary was Friday, May 8th. We ate some Applebees take out, caught up on "Lost" and stared at this adorable face all night. Could it get any better??

Happy 28th Jason!

So, on Thursday, Jason celebrated his 28th birthday. It was a low key evening, but we had a nice time just being with our little family. Thanks Mom, for the birthday dinner. Those enchiladas were yummy. And Happy Birthday babe! I'm jealous you're still 2 years away from 30....just makes me feel old. :-) Just a note...Logan got really into the whole birthday thing. He could hardly contain his excitement.

Logan is home, and he met big sister

More Logers

A few more pics for all of you; however, we never seem to get the entire family in a single shot, so... nothing different here. Also note that the Swine Flu has stolen our thunder dang it, which means that Kamryn will have to wait until Logan comes home to meet him since they will not let anyone under 18 in to see newborns. On the other hand, this is a good thing, and we are grateful that they are not taking chances. Anyhow, much love to all, and thank you for all of your kind words both here and in Facebook land. I'm sure we will post many more pictures in the future.

Logan Samuel Riley

Here he is folks, for those of you that don't do the facebook thing, then the blog will have to do. We will certainly write more later, but for now lets just tease you with some pictures and some brief info:

7 lbs 15 oz
19 inches
dark hair
big time chin dimple
what appear to be blue eyes...

Sentimental Musical Monday

If anyone needs a new lullaby to sing to their children at night, here is mine and Kamryn's favorite. No matter what songs we sing, we always end with this one. They only had a sing along version, but this way you can memorize the words. :-) Gotta love this super nanny!

It's Go Time......

This belly is as big as it's going to get. If my doctor has predicted correctly, I'll be having this baby in less than a week. Let's pray she is right, because I'm feeling pretty cooked and I'm ready to see this baby boy we've been waiting for! Hopefully, my next post will be pictures of Logan. :-)

Whitehead Leadership Society

I am the proud wife of this good looking guy who, last weekend, was inducted into the Whitehead Leadership Society at the University of Redlands. His classmates were asked to nominate one person from their class to receive this honor and Jason was their top pick. I think it is pretty cool and though the name of the society leaves something to be desired, I'm proud that my husband has displayed the qualities that make him a leader in our society. :-)

Easter Sunday Blessing

It was a special Easter Sunday this year. Our new niece, Hailey, was blessed that day in my sister's ward and Jason and I were glad we could be apart of it. How cute is she?

Colorin' the eggs!

This was the first year that I think Kamryn was really involved in coloring the eggs. One of Kamryn's favorite things to eat and cook with Mommy and Daddy are eggs, so I think she enjoyed this new way to enjoy the wonderful egg.
















I love this picture of Kamryn and her Daddy! And yes, there was a shirt change. I decided this blue shirt was more ok to get dirty then the previous shirt. She looks cute either way! :-)















She loved watching the tablets fizz and turn into color when the vinegar and water was added. It's like magic.

Musical Monday

This last week, I found myself perusing a friend's blog after finding out he bought a home. This isn't one of the normal blogs I always look at since most of his postings are over my head, intellectually but I wanted to check out the home he had bought. As I kept scrolling down, I found some poems he had posted that he had written years ago, back in the Claremont singles ward days. I loved those days and that's when he and I were good friends and hung out frequently. I remembered driving down with him to meet up with some friends to go camping and on that drive, he introduced me to a band I had heard of, but never paid much attention to. They have now become one of my favorite bands and even Jason will tell you that they are one of those few bands who can calm me down and put me in a great mood. This song is always played in the car when its a beautiful day outside. I love her voice! Try not to like it, I dare you.

Gettin' Hitched

A couple weeks ago, I was able to attend my friend's sealing in the Los Angeles Temple. Jason was wonderful and watched Kamryn while I went in and witnessed the sealing (which, of course, was lovely to be apart of. (Courtney, that words for you). :-) I don't think Jason had too much trouble though. It seemed like Kamryn was pretty entertained playing and running around the temple grounds.












Here is the happy couple and I love Courtney's dress. She had it made and she looks gorgeous in it. I had a great time at the wedding and at the reception. She had a Live Karaoke Band, which was a big hit. Any other time, I would have jumped up and rocked out...but I was feeling a little awkward with my belly. Wasn't feeling cute enough to be a rocker. (and feeling a little chubby). Maybe another time. I was just glad to be there, hanging out with friends, eating delicious food and celebrating the night away!
