Riley Bear Picture time :)

Riley is a mommy's girl through and through. She will cry and cry in anybody else's arms, but the second I pick her up she stops. She is my little cuddle bug!! So I figured we should take some fun self portraits, the two of us :) And I included a few outtakes for you -- my favorite may be the one where she is trying to eat me :) haha

Harper and Riley 1st bath together!

Usually I give Riley a quick scrub and then she comes out and Harper jumps in. Well Harper has really really been wanting to join Riley so I figured we could finally give it a try :) Harper loved it!! And I think Riley enjoyed it quite a bit as well!!

Last pictures from the weekend.

Throughout the weekend Harper went on a couple of the BIG water slides with us. Any of the tube rides that we could take a double tube on she went -- and some of them were pretty fast and dark!! She was very brave!! I was able to get just a couple pictures of Harper and Kurt flying out of the "Big Kahuna"!! And right after them came Ellary and Uncle Gabe.

My favorite pictures are the ones towards the end -- if you look close Harper is sucking her thumb and her vest is unbuttoned so she can reach her belly. She was pooped and all she wanted was to reach her belly, so Kurt helped her reach her belly while they sat there. She is a goofball -- the sleepier she gets, the more she NEEDS her belly!

SPLASH LAGOON!!

We were given the wonderful Christmas gift of a weekend at Splash Lagoon in Erie, PA with our Shader Family. We were supposed to go the first weekend in January and mother nature did not cooperate so we had to wait all the way until this weekend. But we finally made it and we had a blast!! I have a gazillion pictures so I will try not to post too many, but too bad there are lots!! Everybody loved it -- so much that on Sunday about lunch time Harper asked me if we could go to sleep. That has NEVER happened!! I have never ever ever heard Harper ask for sleep -- EVER! So if that isn't a sign of a wonderful weekend I am not sure what is. The only one who didn't love Splash Lagoon was Riley :) Every time I put her little toes in the water she would cry, so instead she just stayed strapped to Mommy most of the time :) A couple years and she would be running around with Ellary and Harper having a blast as well!

One of the benefits of being stuck holding the cute baby all the time is I have plenty of time to take pictures!! So here you go :)

Happy Birthday Pop!!

We are celebrating Pop's birthday over the weekend at Splash Lagoon so we are bringing fun cupcakes. Harper picked out the recipe and together we made these cute little monsters. They turned out great -- but since i am posting this after the weekend, I can inform you that they did not travel well :) Oh well it was the thought that counts! Happy Birthday Dad!!

We took a trip to Goodwill today and found an awesome pair of roller skates for two bucks!! They are perfect -- now will the two bucks be worth it for the broken bone hospital bill -- probably not :) She loves them and we have a rule that we always must wear our helmet, but I better start looking for knee pads, wrist guards, bubble wrap :) hahaha

A lady at the gym has a daughter about 11 or so and lately she has been cleaning her room and giving us lots and lots of fun things. One of those things was a half used bag of those silly colored packing peanuts that you just wet and stick together. They were great! Harper made these lovely sculptures all by herself and had a blast doing it.

In regards to the outfit, she loves her Minnie outfit and we are packing for the weekend when we are going to celebrate pop's birthday, which is where the hat comes from. She is always something -- when she starts completely picking her own outfits I am doomed :)
