Sneaky

While I was on the phone with Michael I am watching Riley try to get into one of his birthday boxes. I thought there was no way he could get into that box, however, his hard work paid off and he got a hand in!! Uncle Mikey said they could have their presents a day early for all Riley's effort!! Name cups!! Good job Uncle Mikey actually finding one with Riley's name on; it is never easy!!

Carnival

We went to the annual carnival with Tiffanie and Cathy this evening and had a blast as you can see!! They rode lots of rides and Mommy even got to ride one since there was an adult required. Andrew got 1600 points on an arcade game by catching 9 swans, 2 whales, and 4 ducks with a fishing pole, which he was able to get a bow and arrow set with! Riley ended up sleeping through most of the carnival, but afterward we went to have pizza and then played at the park with Andrew & Cathy's new toys and Riley was awake for those parts!!

Happy Mothers Day

Thank you Gramma for sending boys presents to give me; they were beautiful and I love them!! I need to find a safe place to put my coffee planter because Riley can reach the cupboards now!! The boys had so much fun putting the stickers on and I had to stay in the room to oversee operations because Riley kept sticking the stickers on Daddy's face, haha!! Then Andrew made me his special Mother's Day cake which he has been talking about for over a week (it was really gross, but I did take a taste for him...)

Hide and Seek

Andrew's choices of places to hide...he is getting better and better at this game!!

Jungle Adventure

Andrew took Riley and I on a shortcut through the "jungle" as he calls it; he had discovered this the other day on a walk with Cathy and Miss. Tiffanie and he was very anxious to do it again. The grass there was taller than their heads!

Being Silly

I was trying to teach the boys how to hang off the couch backwards to save me from having to tote them both around upside down and it was hilarious! The only downfall is me having enough time to run to the couch, flip upside down and hold Riley upside down before the timer expires, haha!! But, it was enjoyable!!

Bouncy Trampoline

We have had a few episodes with neighborhood cats, so after 2 times of having to sterilize the whole thing including all of the balls I have decided to bag the balls up and I flipped the house over and just blew up the bottom so now it is like a trampoline. When we are out there long periods of time I can blow the whole thing back up and they can use the balls but for overnights and just sitting it is going to stay this way since I can't seem to keep stray animals out of our yard....GRRRRRR! Luckily the boys love it this way too!!

Hugs for Andrew

I originally was taking a picture of their new pajamas from Nani and Bumpa but decided to record them to capture Riley's hug as well!! He hugs him a lot now, it's very cute!!
