Fountain Fun!

I just love watching these two have fun together.

"It's A Beautiful Day!"

So, thanks to my lovely friend Cynda, I was able to fulfill a dream of mine. We went and saw U2 play at the Angels Stadium back in June. It was everything I hoped it would be, and then better. Bono is an AMAZING performer. The whole band is amazing.
The stage was incredible!



"One"

The third annual Riley Family Reunion

Kamryn and Logan had a great time with their cousins. This is Annistyn. She is adorable!


Enjoying the beautiful day.
My son has quite an obsession with markers. This thing kept him very occupied. :)
This year Jason's brother, Rob and his wife, Tiff planned the reunion and they did a great job. We camped out this year (in a canyon outside of Lehi, UT and I can't remember now what it's called) and it was so nice to be outdoors. The weather was perfect and it was fun to be with all the family. (We did miss our nephew Garrett though, who is serving a mission). Anyhow, it was a great time with no major mishaps, which we were all grateful for.

He's sleeping where?

This kid has a talent. He can sleep anywhere. Stairs, chairs, floors and even on top of luggage in back of the mini van, which I forgot to take a picture of. He is a good sleeper and for that I am grateful. :)

Kamryn's Pre-school Graduation

Here is my beautiful little girl at her Pre-school Graduation. I can't believe she will be starting Kindergarten in August. She did a great job singing her songs and I promise to get videos up soon. It is quite funny hearing all the kids trying to sing songs at the same time. Sounded more like a round.


I was up too close to get a picture of the whole class but here is her class...at least with the boys in her class. Oh, and my friend Mary in the background. :)
This is when Kamryn got her diploma. :)
Here is Kamryn with her pre-school teacher, Miss Kristine! She was great and both Kamryn and I love her. She did such a great job!
Congratulations Sissy! I am so proud of you and of all your hard work. I love you!

Riding Horseback

Kamryn's pre-school class went horseback riding back in May. This was Kamryn's first time and she was very excited. Something that Kamryn and I share is our love for horses so it was fun to be with her and watch her experience this for the first time.

She pretty much stayed by the horse's side as long as she could, petting it and talking to it. When all the kids had moved away and become bored, she was still there.
She did great on the horse. I have some video of it that I will have to find and post later.
Here is her pre-school class. It was such a great day and we are so thankful to Miss Kristine and her Dad for giving us this fun opportunity.

Morning Sickness

This was me pretty much all of April and the majority of May. Sick and on the couch, taken down by that beast so mistakenly called "Morning Sickness." Thank goodness I am past the worst of it now.

Logan turns two!!

We had a low key birthday for Logan this year. Just our little family and my good friend, Karissa with her kids. (I wasn't feeling good, so I didn't have it in me to have a huge gathering). We had Wahoo's for dinner, had some cake and opened presents. It was a perfect day for our precious two year old. Logan is all boy! Loves cars, trucks, any kind of ball, loves his scooter and loves climbing and getting into anything. He has no sense of danger, which can be scary sometimes. He's not quite the talker Kamryn was at this age, but he is spitting out certain phrases and slowly adding words to his vocabulary. He is also my cuddler. Kamryn never cuddled, but Logan loves to cuddle up with his Mommy or Daddy (while, unfortunately) sucking his thumb. Need to break him of that habit soon. Overall, he is a perfect little boy and I love him to death. :)

Easter....

Need I say more?

Ethan's Baptism

We were able to go to Arizona and attend my nephew, Ethan's Baptism. Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures, but the ones I did take were cute. :) I love my family and I love any chance we have to get together, especially for great events like this one. Congrats Ethan! We are so proud of you!
Cousins!

Grandma's Home!

All last year, my Mom served a mission in Missouri, so when she came home we were anticipating our first visit from her. Unfortunately, the first visit in January was a failure because Kamryn, myself and Jason were all sick so she didn't stay as long as we hoped. However, she came back in February and spent some quality time with us and we loved it.

The last time Logan had seen Grandma was when he was a baby, so it took him a minute to warm up but it wasn't long before he loved being with Grandma.
Kamryn being camera shy. She was especially glad to see Grandma, but you can't tell by this picture.

We are so glad to have you back Mom! Can't wait for the family reunion in July!

Logan's crazy antics!

This little boy right here has been given me a run for my many. He is different than Kamryn at this age in that he is into and on top of EVERYTHING! I thought Kamryn had a "drawing on the wall" problem, but it doesnt compare to Logan. Kamryn's walls in her room is full of artwork from Logan. He gets into the pantry and food, climbs on top of everything and jumps off of everything. He is ALL boy. Loves cars, trucks, balls, running outside, getting in the dirt, etc... However, I wouldn't change one bit of him. He is also very cuddly and sweet and I LOVE HIM!
Very often, artwork ends on his face too.

Don't think he is quite ready for potty training. :)

A day in the creative mind of my daughter!

Welcome to "It's a Small Princess World" by Kamryn Riley. Yes, if I had to sit through the ride, then so do you. Actually, I was quite impressed with all she created.
First stop, Ariel's castle on land.
Next, we are off to Ariel's underwater castle, joined by her friends Flounder and Sebastian.
Princess Jasmine is next....
and then on to Mulan, who gets jipped in the castle area it seems.
Now onto Cinderella and her towering castle of blocks
Sleeping Beauty and what looks to be a castle made of leftover stuff since the blocks have run out.
and last, but not least, Snow White and her castle of blankets.
Now you may commence singing "It's A Small World" for the rest of the day. You may thank me later. :)
