Too cute for his own good

Can you tell that he is too cute for his own good?

Happy 1st Birthday to Riley!!!!

So today our little boy turned one. Here are his cake pictures. He was so pleased that he got to eat his own cake with his own hands. He now is taking some steps on his own, getting braver by the day. He says DA! and he knows who that is. He doesn't say ma though. He loves his brother, he is so funny to him. Drake is his personal climbing gym, which is pretty amazing sometimes. He knows how to get himself picked up and put down. He has his own little personality which is very different from the other two children. We love him very much though and we know you do too.

Shoes

Grandpa Tim bought all the grandkids here (the other two will have to wait for the "Grandma box") Converse shoes. Pink for the girls and black for the boys. Just like grandpa had back when he played b-ball in college.

Dinosaurs!

Eric got a little kit that he can be a palentologist and dig for dinosaur bones to complete a skeleton. It is very exciting. Will post a picture when we find it all.

Opening presents

This year was great fun. Riley had lots of fun just ripping the paper but mostly he was just enjoying all of the people and fun things that were going on. He was spoiled. He got his first sleeping bag and lots of good toys and clothes.

Santa Riley

Got this outfit from a friend and thought he was too cute (of course).

Lance's Christmas present

For Christmas this year Lance got spoiled and got his "hunting dog". His name is Drake. He is half golden retreiver and half Chesapeake Bay retreiver. He is a rotten dog. He only listens to Lance and pouts when Lance has to go to work. But he is smart and learns fast.

Eric gets an award

Eric got an award at school for being a good Citizen. He is such a good kid and so smart. His teacher says he likes to do things perfectly and always wants to please. He is learning to read and do some math. He reads every sign when you stop at a stop light.
