The River - Riley's Favorite Place to Go!

Whenever Riley comes to our house in St, Anthony he always wants to go to the river!!  We go down to the river and we get as cloe as we cant ot the water that is sage and then we get a pile of rocks that he can throw in the river and see them splash.  He loves to hold up the ones that are bigger and show them to us telling us they are "big" then he throws it in the water and when it splashes we make a big deal about gettting wet and he just giggles!!  Whenever he comes you can be he will ask to go to the river or he'll ask to g to the water.  It must be something about boys cuz all the grandsons love to play by the river throwing rocks in.  One of the earlier posts  were of Dallen and Brandon playing by the river.   Below are some pictures of Riley and papa sitiing and throwing rocks in the water.  Randy would throw them far out in the water and Riley would try to do the same.  He thought it was the best fun ever!!  Enjoy the pictures.

 He culdn't stand it that papa was sitting on a big rock he HAD to get down and sit by him!!

 Riley loved to walk Chico.  Here is a couple pictures of  Riley with my cute little dog.  Unfortunately we were unable to keep him and so we gave him to Candace and her family.

 After our time at the river Rile came to our house and listened to Randys Ipod.  The earphones are huge on him but he wouldn't give them up!!



4th of July

 I went to the 4th of July parade with Mandy and her family.  It was so much fun!  Here are a few pictures and trust me it is a few, I took lots but they look so far away these are the best of the ones I took.  I need to take photography or something so I can take a decent picture!!  Anyway, here is one of the gliders that was flying overhead before the parade.  There were actually two of them.

 Little Jordan was pretty interested in the "goings on" he watched the gliders and was ready for the parade.

 Brandon, Dallen and Jordan are watching one of the people on a 4 wheeler that was giving out free snow shack snow cones.  They eventually did go and get one.

 this is the snoopy float.  It was toward the end of the parade.

 Tianna was in the summer band parade.  This is there band marching however, I didn't get a good picture of Tianna, It looks so far away you can't even tell it is Tianna.

 So here is the one I took after she was finished marching!  Tianna and her red shirt for the parade.  She was happy to have it done.

 The end of the parade and the part Jordan was waiting for!  He loves the horses!!

We had so much fun watching the parade and especially watching the kids.  Some of the floats threw candy and they all ran to get as much of it as they could.  Jordan would go pick up one piece and bring it back to his mom.  I started picking up pieces that I could throw out for him to pick up cuz he kept getting just one piece or none.  He was so cute!!
