October

Yes... we've been busy!  But I am here now and ready to post some pics of some of the fun things we have been up to this October.  I'm gonna start with early October and my next post will be all things Halloween :)

Girls shopping day!

Celebrating my birthday... I love this pic!

Team Lunatic

Henry spent this whole weekend with us! It was so much fun.  Riley LOVES hanging out with Henry.  They have a great time playing together.  There was an occasional fight, but mostly they laughed, played, and hugged each other.  Henry is so sweet and he's welcome back at our house anytime!

Bubble bath!

 Snack time at the park

 Best Buddies

 Halloween arts and crafts (and a little face painting too... whoops!)

 Playtime!

Happy Birthday Skylar!

Happy 9th Birthday Skylar!  Wow, time really does fly.  It doesn't seem that long ago that I welcomed this sweet little toddler into my life.  From the moment I met Sky, I knew she was someone special!  Although I didn't know her as a little baby, I'm sure she was born with spunk and personality!  It didn't take me long to fall in love with this special girl.  She's got a mind of her own, she is strong, and she has a big heart.  I am amazed at her wisdom at the ripe old age of 9.  Thanks for being you, Skylar, and have a fantastic birthday! We miss you! Love, Daddy, Jen, and Riley :)

Here are some pics from her bowling party this past weekend.  It was awesome!  Everyone really had a fun time!

                                       

 Look at all those presents!  Thanks to everyone for being so good to her.

 Riley was feeling a little jealous & a lot tired by the end of the night.   

 

Diorama... Cha Cha Cha!

I love getting the opportunity to help Skylar with school projects.  Last weekend, I helped her make a Halloween diorama!  My mom was really the "creative director" of this project, but Sky did a great job cutting, glueing, and creating.  It was fun and I hope we get an A+!

My Little Gymnist!

Riley is enjoying her first extra-cirricular class! She loves going to gymnastics & caught on super quick. In fact, she cries at the end of each class because she doesn't want to leave!

 

 Waiting for class to start

 

 Doing the rings... her favorite!

 

Striking a gymnastics pose!

At the car wash

Riley decided to give her pink car a washing when Johnny was washing my car. She had fun!  Her favorite part was helping spray the cars with the hose.  Next up?  Teaching her to dust the living room!

Orange Beach Photos!

We had a great time!!!!
