rILEY'S 1ST dAY OF pRESCHOOL

Riley's 1st day was July 18th. He is going to Laura Walker's preschool with cousin Parker. Riley was so excited to go and show Parker his new backpack. When he got there it was so cute watching the two of them show off their bags to one another, with their backs to each other actually.

I post this pic cause I wanted Riley's bag. After I took it I noticed Aiden trying to sneak in the picture. Too stinkin cute!

ALL READY TO GO!

I can't believe my baby boy has gotten so big already. Where does time go? It seems like yesterday when he was just a wee little one in my arms! Love you so much Ry!!!

iN tHE fRIDGE pLEASE!

Since I had little miss Cheyanne I thought it was only fair for Mr. Steven to get up in the night if our little boys woke up. Steven has been totally awesome and does it. A couple Sunday's back we had finally made our way into the kitchen to make some breakfast and this is what I open the cupboard to...........

I totally died laughing. Babe just for future reference the milk goes in the fridge and the cups go in the cupboard!! I just had to take a picture. I told him I was going to blog it thinking he would get all bent out of shape and he didn't! He's a trooper:)

tHREE MONTHS!!

WOW! My little Princess is already three months, time flies by. Here are just a few cute pics. This last month has been exciting. We went to cousin Kyle's wedding and on the way home the AC went out in Steven's truck at Gonzales Pass. Not a fun experience:(

Yes it was blazzin' hot that day. I sat in the back with Cheyanne and stripped all her clothes off to try and cool her down. We had the window's down but that didn't help matters much. I was not feeling too hot I guess cause I was just so worried about my babe, BUT I must have been heated cause it seemed like it took two weeks for me to cool down. Cheyanne was cranky a few days, probably from all the wind with the windows down.

We got her little ears pierced on July 22nd and they are so dang cute! I was going to have to wait but Steven was all about getting them done. He found Julie at Priority One who would do them. I was hopping he would hold her but he chickened out and I had to. She did really good though and they have healed awesome. For Pioneer Days we went to the family rodeo they had here in Pima. Riley and his daddy did the rescue race and did pretty good. Riley also did the stick horse race and the greased pig race. He was really excited. Thank goodness he didn't come home with a pig. Aiden was a crank box all night and Cheyanne just chilled out with Aunt Wendi most of the time. All in all it was a good month.

WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE!!!

sWEET bLESSINGS!

Cheyanne was blessed by her daddy on June 28, 2009. She looked like such an angel. It was a very special day for us! All her uncle's, and grandpa's were there to help bless her! After sacrament meeting we had a luncheon at our house. We have such a huge immediate family we just about didn't get everyone fed. Thanks to all who could come and be a part of our little girls special day!!

She always makes this face. It is so funny!

I just thought this was a cute picture!

This is what she thought about it all I guess

Such a cute smile

cATCHING UP!!

Just trying to catch up!!

forgive me

We took Riley to Duncan in June to his first Rodeo that he got to participate in. We had a lot of fun! He ran the barrels. Steven has to lead him on the route since he doesn't savy the whole thing yet. Riley didn't want to leave! Aiden of course had fun also. Cheyanne made a mess of her outfit and it was a good thing I had a spare!

Riley practicing at home!

Aiden practicing too !!!

The boys had so much fun coloring eggs. We went pick nicking with Steven's family and it turned really cold so we had to wrap that up much earlier than planned. We colored eggs the night before Easter so they would be nice and ready for the bunny to hide them!

Aiden looking so cute!

Riley all ready to color them!

My three boys:)

Really concentrating

Daddy showing Aiden he should use the wire dipper instead of hands!

Did he just throw the egg in?
