Charm Bracelet

Rick and Cathy sent me this beautiful charm bracelet for my birthday- something I can add to as time goes on. I love it; thank you guys so much.

Happy Easter!!

We had quite the morning!! It was quite messy and our eggs look like they were layed in the mud, but we had TONS of FUN!!! Riley was more interested in eating the candy inside the eggs rather than finding more and Andrew wanted to skip the eggs and do the baskets, but I managed to keep a routine, haha. I think I needed an assistant today, though...haha

Easter Bunny

Andrew wouldn't even get near the Easter Bunny; he is definitely his father's son in situations such as these. Riley at least sat near him; he didn't smile, but he didn't cry either!!

Face Painting

We went to the indoor carnival today; Andrew wasn't interested in anything they had to offer, and Riley was too young to play most of the games, but he did sit for a little face painting. Too bad she did a lame sun....but he still looks cute!!

Skinny vs Fat

Everytime we go to the commissary Andrew likes to pick out the different colors of milk, and since he apparently likes the taste of all of them and I am not picky about how much milk fat he takes in since he is so skinny anyway, it doesn't really matter, but I just noticed today when putting it back that there is a skinny cow on the skim milk and a fat cow on the whole milk. Is the commissary trying to tell me something since I still at age 24 drink whole milk?? haha

Letters

While I was trying to get Riley down for a nap (which I must say is not as easy as it was at bedtime and definitely not as simple as when he was in a crib!!) Andrew decided he would write in my bible, and although I wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea at first, I realized he was trying to write my name like I had, and I must say he did a great job on the R and the A!!
