Smiley Riley

We had a song we used to sing to Riley when she was a baby called "Smiley Riley" because she was always so smiley and funny, and doing things that were.... smiley and funny. She's still the same way.
You may remember the pictures of Porter and Ben training to be Power Rangers using a very sophisticated training dvd a few months back. Riley found it today.

She has this thing about wanting to hand me her trash as soon as she's done with it. Most kids do this. Riley is incredibly persistent about this, and on this particular day she made up her mind that she was going to give me her empty Capri sun one way or another.

Summer summer summertime......

KK reading books to Riley, Porter and Nadine at the lake.

Picking blueberries. Riley wanted me to post this picture because it shows how long her ponytail is getting.

Yummy!

Porter and his friends Ben and Andrew, lunching in the fort.

Kid Sister

Those of you that know Riley know that this is what she dreamed of when we told her she'd be having a sister. About a year ago when Lizzie was just a few months old Riley begged me to put her in dress up. Since then, she hasn't had much luck with her dress-up buddy. Until today.

My Buddy



Look who I found in Lizzie's crib when she woke up from her nap. These days I just can't get to her fast enough.

Happy Working Song



You can do a lot when you've got such a happy working song to sing....

Sweet Home Alabama

Riley and cousin Ethan hangin' ten at Uncle John's baseball game


Group picture after church


Me and Rachael- for those of you who remember our wedding she was the four year old flower girl! She's all grown up now and sweet as can be!


The cousins, minus Lizzie, plotting their next attempt at shooting us all with water guns.


Monnee and Mikey (aka Brice's mom and step dad) with the kids at breakfast.


A jungle safari in Alabama? No, they were just posing at Southern Adventures in the jungle-like temperatures.
