ALwAyS aN AdVeNtUrE aT oUr HoUsE!

I was reading my friend Nikki's blog the other day about how her Lil boy put something in his nose and they had to go to the Dr. to get it out. I remember thinking how lucky I was that Riley hasn't done anything crazy like that........yet. Well I jinked myself bad! Yesterday, was a long day! Riley and McKinley I think planned their entire day on how to be naughty! Well nap time came around and as a tired crazy mom-I was excited! So, I put the kids in bed and went downstairs to look on the computer. Riley came downstairs about an hour later and said he was awake...I told him to play downstairs with me until McKinley woke up. He had his hat on.

About an hour or so later Jeremy came home and told me I might want to come upstairs. Riley had opened all the curtains and blinds in the house. He went through our nightstand drawer and decided to pour out all the change....everywhere. I went in my bathroom and there was A LOT of hair in the sink. I looked at our dog and he was hiding in the corner. So, I thought Riley cut our dog's hair. I told Ry to come here and asked if he cut Toby's hair? He took off his hat and said NO! I cut my hair just like Daddy! Do you like it? I was speechless. He then tells me he put on deodorant and some cute(cologne). Well, little did I know that he meant my brand new perfume. He used half to bottle on his hair. Needless to say I am glad it is a new day! I love my Riley but man oh man he knows how to keep me on my toes.

Lesson learned...Don't go downstairs during nap time! Luckily he only cut the front part of his hair. Enjoy the pictures!

Last night we had a little something dropped at our door from someone in our ward. It was cookies with a very sweet and thoughtful letter to our family. I love the Lakeview ward so much and am really going to miss all the YW. We are so thankful to be able to have gone to a ward that we enjoyed so much. So, whoever it was last night......thank you! You MADE our day! The cookies were awesome too(says Jeremy and the kids).

Happy Birthday Ky Ky


It's my older sister Kylie's birthday today. I always looked forward to her birthday when we were little. Birthday parties consisted of red and pink hearts everywhere.I feel bad cuz looking back I was a pain in the butt...I followed her everywhere and always wanted to be just like her. Poor Kylie! She is the best! I look up to her so much as a person and as a mom. I will miss her soooooo much when we leave. I can call her anytime of the day and she will drop anything to help me out. She is my best friend and sister, what else could you ask for?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLIE!

My Lil' SnowMan


Riley is loving to play in the snow this year and it is such a process to get him all dressed in his warm gear to go outsitde and then 10 minutes later he is done and wants to come back in. I decided to let him play in the snow as much as he wants this year because next year we will be in England and there isn't really much snow to play in. I wanted to take some pics of him and he kept chasing me around trying to get me with snowballs. He finally gave up and would through the snow in the air and then run through it as it fell! He loves to do snow angels and then he flips over and does it so his face is in the snow.....he calls those Riley's angels.
Good times!

SOME of the Christmas Pictures
















We had a great time with Grandma and Aunt Mimi. Ione our dear family friend came over for dinner and Christmas Eve. We were very blessed this year and we were so thankful for the time we had with our friends and family .We had a great time through the holidays. I will post the rest of the asap!

This is why I NEVER go to a new stylist for hair cuts!

For those of you that know me you know that for Riley's first year and a half alive I buzzed his hair really short. For the past year we have been letting it grow out so it was longer. I have been slacking in the haircut department and Riley was long over due for one. Well, we took little man for a haircut this past week and the girl who usually does it wasn't working. Me and Jeremy decided to go to someone else, besides all that we were doing was trimming it. How can someone really mess that up? There is nothing more for me to say....the pictures tell all! My poor Riley! We had to go back that next day and try to have them attempt to fix it...his hair looks like Hitlers. They did what they could and it looks a little better. All I have to say is that it is a good thing hair grows!
