messy hair

Ha...

Riley's hair is ridiculous.

Her hair and artwork look about the same.

Tee hee.

our girls (2012)

Emillie

(14 years old)

Although, she'll be 15 very soon, ahhh!

Hannah

(11 years old)

Riley

(2 years old)



Love these girls.

few months old...

I found these goodies on Aaron's camera.

Some were taken a few months ago and Riley already looks so much older now!  Boo hoo.

Enjoy!

Playing at a playground - late April (I think)

mellow day

Today (Saturday) Riley and I had a boring day.

If I can be honest.

At least I was kind of bored.

I'm so over summer.  Over it.  It's hot.  Humid.  Ugh.

If we're not walking outside, or playing in the kiddie pool - we're inside.

Today we played with toys.  Played in the kiddie pool.

Watched some Barney on TV (the purple dinosaur is still around!)



how creepy does this doll's eyes look?!  ha



cute Riley...psycho doll (at least when her pic is taken!  Scary.)

And, we made a drum.

Out of a good ol' oatmeal container.

(I was lazy - all we did was put construction paper around it.)

Fun.  Stuff.

Riley had fun.

I was kind of bored.

(Aaron is at work today...fyi)

And to top it off - Riley is having trouble going to sleep at night.

She's into the scared phase.  Scared of fire works (thank you, 4th of July, for ruining my child), scared of thunder, and scared of the dark.

I'm bored, tired and beat.

Here's to a better day tomorrow!

Bah hum bug. 

I'm gonna go have a cookie that I baked today.

so cool

Cool shades.

A little big.

And, a little pink.

But SO cool.

(Riley picked these "princess" shades!)

I (we) love pink.

playdate and goodbye

Last week we had to say goodbye to some great friends. 

I met Jen and her family last fall - her and I met through a mom's group we were in.

We made a point to get together every so often.  For us to talk, and for the kids to play.

Riley always had so much fun with her boys, Michael (4 yrs) and Ethan (1.5 yrs).

The boys now have a baby sister too!  Sweet baby Madison was born in June.

Anyway, we had them over last week to play.  At the end of our time together, Riley and I had to give big hugs goodbye.

They are also in the Air Force and are on their way to another base.  We wish them all the best!  They'll be missed.

Riley and Michael

These two are SO wild and crazy together!

Ethan (pretty eyes)

I got Ethan smiling!  He's a cutie.

Madison - amazingly sleeping through the craziness.

sweet kisses

hugs...

Little cuties...
