Birthday Cake!!

Here is Riley on her birthday with cupcakes and at her strawberry party...

(apparently she smiles really well when cake is involved, because these are the cutest pictures I have of her)

New photos

Here is Riley with her new bike helmet and elbow and knee pads. She was so excited she kept them on all night.

I did not think it was possible for Nora to fall asleep while eating (since it's her favorite activity) but she pooped out in the middle of lunch last week. She fell asleep mid bite, then opened her eyes spit it out and went back to sleep. She took a 3 1/2 hour nap that day!!

Happy Mother's Day Mom!! (I tried to get a picture with my girls on mother's day and this is what I got)

Belated Easter greetings to you all! Here is our best family picture from Easter...you can tell how excited Riley was to have her picture taken. We have found it impossible to get a decent picture with the four of us (actually it is almost impossible to get a good picture with just the two girls).

I'm ONE

Here are a few pictures from the golden birthday bash!
Nora had a great time, it included eating her favorite activity, so she was happy. She was more interested in looking at her cards than opening her presents, which worked out nice because her big sister was happy to help with the presents.

Strawberry, strawberry, strawberry

Riley has become obsessed (and I'm not using this term lightly) with Strawberry Shortcake. If you enter our home you will probably find Riley either talking about, wearing, or "playing" something pertaining to Strawberry Shortcake (even if you can't outwardly see it). Pretty much anything that is pink is somehow related to strawberry...which is nice for us because she thinks that her room (even though nothing in it is Strawberry Shortcake) she calls her Strawberry Shortcake room.

Here is a picture of Riley with her new strawberry glasses.
(jo-jo, she's saying "not patriotic" in this picture)

Nora Playing...

Here is Nora busy playing, she is quite a happy little girl. Getting close to walking but in no hurry.

NakoButt

Two nights ago after we hadn't heard Riley for awhile I decided to go take a peek at her. I walked in to find her pull-up and jammie bottoms on the floor. She was sleeping and covered with blankies with her cute little bottom sticking in the air. Thankfully I was able to get a pull-up on without waking her, but when she woke in the morning she was quite distressed that she didn't have her jammie bottoms on. What a little cutie!!
