Here goes...

Ok so here is the post I have been putting off for a LONG TIME...I am super busy...In addition to school and home I have recently been called to the Primary Presidency in my ward...Don't get me wrong I love all the things I have going on it's just a little crazy sometimes...Ok lots of the time :)

The first three pictures are from Christmas Eve...We get to open the pajamas on Christmas Eve


I don't know if Riley got the concept of opening the presents or not


Family picture Christmas morning

Opening the presents

Thanks Jenn for the sweet elephant! It is one of his favorites :)


So we woke up early and opened presents at our house, my parents' house, and Blake's parents' house...After all the mayhem this was Riley...Out




Riley turned 1 on Jan. 23

My Grandmom Foote gave this shirt to Riley. I think it is so cute! And yes that is a whole chocolate chip cookie...I don't do it very often though...
So Riley is one...This makes me go crazy when I think about it...Time moves so fast and the older you get the faster it goes...Riley is so funny...
He still "coughs" to get attention and be funny
He gives hugs and occasionally kisses
He walks
He says "dada" "mama" and "baba"
He has six teeth...He hasn't bitten anyone on purpose yet...I say "on purpose" because I was frosting cupcakes for his birthday and had some frosting on my finger that I decided to share with him...I guess he thought he needed to chew my finger to get the frosting off...I won't be making that mistake again...
He sits forward in the carseat now...Hallelujah
He still takes two naps a day AND sleeps all night!!! Hallelujah again!
He waves like a mad man when someone says goodbye
He shakes his head no
He turns into the mini-Hulk when he gets mad...Seriously...He clenches his fists and jaw, he growls really loud, and his face shakes...Blake and I die laughing every time
I know every other kid probably does one or all of these things but these are the things that make Riley special to me...I guess it's because I am his mom...

Absurd Words

I have been putting off a much-needed post until after the holidays when things would "slow down." Well things have taken their foot off the gas pedal but haven't pushed the brake so I am going to have to MAKE time...ugh...I hate making time for things...I should just have enough time to do everything...But I haven't put my pictures from the holidays on my computer so I can't do a REAL post...This is basically just a post to tell you that there will soon be a post that has been long overdue...The more I think about this the more absurd it sounds so I am just going to leave it at that...Have a great whatever it is when you read this :)

Chaco Canyon/Picture Overload

A couple of weeks ago our family went with our friends, the Pemberton's, to Chaco Canyon to camp and see the ruins. Who knew history could be so cool! We had a lot of fun! I have, however, determined that although I LOVE being outdoors, I am NOT a fan of roughing it...

I took A TON of pictures and lots of them are of the ruins because I think they are so cool...So if you don't like pictures of nature and ruins...Well...Deal with it :)



The picture above was taken just before we left (Casen and Riley)...The picture below was four hours later...The eyes say it all...


Riley's awesome dinosaur hat...


The campsite




A random lizard



Guess what this is???



It's a porcupine!


In the very center of this picture there is a house cat...That's right, a house cat...In the middle of nowhere...Actually there are houses nearby where the people who maintain the park and such live...But it was still funny to see...

Casen is a rebel :)

Blake and Riley next to a doorway...Yes that is really how small all the doorways are!



Riley, Blake, Casen, and Zach

Blake and Riley on a pillar










Casen and Riley...They are good buds!




Riley and me...I know, camping does NOT look good on me...



A petrogliph...The horse-like animal was the original picture and over the years visitors have felt the need to leave their mark as well...
