Today's Adventures

Nothing like having your 3 kids out in the backyard exploring and enjoying themselves on a Saturday morning. Riley got in the mud trying to get his stick, Ethan's bouncing and playing catch and Kate is just roaming around making sure she's a part of everything that's happening. There were rides on the bikes, a visit from our old pal Rupert (remember that's our backyard frog who's really an adopted member of the family) and of course let's not forget about Riley getting so tuckered out that he feel asleep before we could even feed him lunch. Here's a few shots and movies of all the fun, enjoy!

Maria and Credence Visit

My cousin Maria and her son Credence came to visit for a few minutes when she came down last weekend. Haven't seen her in many years, and this was the first time to see her son in person. He and Riley had a blast together...

Riley turns One!

Can't believe our lil' lion turned one this past week! For those of you who live close enough to come, thank you for coming and celebrating with us. For those of you who weren't able to be there, please enjoy some of the highlights...

And the next morning as we're getting ready for the day and the kids off to school, here's Ethan and Riley enjoying the balloons!

School Pictures

Crazy to think that we have 2 kids old enough to have "school pictures", but ladies and gentlemen I'm hear to tell you that is the case. Believe it or not the pictures they take these days are quite high tech. Megan and I were given 8 or so different options for backgrounds if we wanted to be picky, various poses we could request, etc. If I remember my shots correctly it was a one snap deal, and if you happened to be picking your nose...oh well. Here are 3 different shots of both Ethan and Kate, and they are all amazing. Enjoy!

October 14th Silliness

It was a Thursday night, and the kids were done with school for the week, so we decided to have some "fun" while we all got ready for bed. The video of Ethan and Kate is one of about four that we did that night; they were having so much fun just dancing around and being silly to the music. (And yes, they are their own dj's.) Riley didn't want to be left out of the fun of course, so he was getting his walk on. Still a couple week's away from his first birthday, and he's showing everyone his skills! :) We have the best kids!!

Halloween 2010

Here's the crew ready to celebrate Halloween this year. Ethan's a spider, Kate is a cute little witch and Riley is our Frankenstein. Trick or Treat!

Kate wanted to have a shot taken with her other witch friends.

Ethan, our scary spooky spider.

Not Pictured: Frankenstein Riley was of course too busy plundering with Pirate Garfield to get all the "candy" to be bothered with a picture. :)
