Arts and Crafts!

Yesterday, we adventured into the world of arts and crafts! We went to Michael's craft store and selected many holiday themed items and came home ready to create. I wasn't sure how Riley would do with finger paints, but she loved it! She played with paint and stickers and Skylar was very creative, as usual, and she made some great works of art. It was really fun afternoon.
The finished products......
Masterpieces!!!

Riley Update

I originally started this blog so that all my family and friends could keep updated on our family, especially the girls. As time passes, I am using this blog as more of an online scrapbook for myself. I LOVE going back to my first post and reminiscing over how much Riley has grown. I try to remember everything she does, but sometimes I can't even remember what I had for lunch yesterday. So, I thought that for this post, I would list some of the things that Riley is doing right now, at 21 months, so next year when I am looking over older posts, I will remember! And as for all the rest of you, here's a chance for you to stay updated as well!

Words: She is talking up a storm! Her favorite thing to say right now is "happy birthday to you" but also says yogurt, nana, tater and just about anything you ask her to repeat! If you ask her what her last name is, she mumbles "Bergeron" in a very cute way! If she wants me to hold her she says "hold you".... so sweet. She also knows that a turkey says gobble and santa says ho ho ho! I am really looking forward to Christmas!

Play: She loves to play with her baby, Dora, and a few other dolls. Riley pushes Dora around in her stroller with her purse on her arm. If I ask her where she's going, she says "Wal-mart!" She is also into toy transferring. She will take blocks or puzzle pieces and put them all on the floor. Then, one by one, she will transfer them to the fireplace and then to the kitchen. She seems to have a great sense of accomplishment when she does this and it keeps her busy for a while!

Others: Her favorite song is still, of course, "Baby" by Justin Bieber. We listen to it several times a day! She loves to take a bath and playing outside and she loves feeding herself. She wants no help!

I am so proud of Riley everyday. She is growing up so fast and I am loving every minute of it. She is an amazing girl and I am lucky she is mine!!!

Wedding Weekend!

Johnny's brother, Wayne, got married on Friday! It was a fantastic wedding enjoyed by all. Johnny was a groomsman and Skylar was a junior bridesmaid. She was so excited to be a part of Uncle Wayne's special day. I took her and the other junior bridesmaid, Sydnie, to get manicures and pedicures and to the hair salon to get their hair done. The end result was 2 precious girls. And Riley, of course, was too cute! Best wishes to Wayne and Amanda. We wish them all the best!!!


What a good lookin' bunch!
