The Party

 Riley had a firetruck cake made by his mom....it turned out really good.  Stephen and Ivy gave Riley several options of things he could eat at his party.....I don't know what they all were, but I do know one of the options was pizza.......he wanted hot dogs.  So we had hot dogs and sausage cheese dogs on the grill.   They were really good.  But I love hot dogs too!

 This top picture is after we sang happy birthday to him and he has blown out his candles.  Then someone.....I believe it was his aunt Mandy told him to bite the cake......and as you can see he did!!! He told his mom that he wanted a red piece of cake.  Which he ate all the red frosting off of it leaving the gray from the ladder and the white of the window .......... just ate the red frosting then he jumped off the couch and told us he was ready to open his presents.....the bottom picture he is  getting ready to open presents.

 Everyone just sitting around enjoying talking and catching up.  Papa came in for Rileys party.  So we had some good talk time!

                                         Tianna and Bailey girl cheesing it up for the camera!

                                                            Then Bailey girl wants her nana!!

                                           Nana and Bailey girl cheesing it up for the camera!!

 Riley digging into the presents!!  He racked up pretty good!  He got baseball bat, baseball gloves, a mitt, and balls, he got a dart gun, a bubble gun, a spiderman back pack, a noisy gun and super hero cape and mask, Mack the truck from cars and Chopper from cars 2 and some money and buzz lightyear and cars bandaids.  And I am sure he got other things.....I just don't remember, sorry.

 Here he is showing me his super hero cape and mask.  Then he took off with Jordan and Brandon and Dallen through the club house shooting his gun and Jordan had brought his gun so they were shooting each other and anyone else they could get to "die".

 Enid "Bob" and Lindsey came to have some fun with all of us....I think Tianna got some babysitting jobs too.  She loves babies and has been dying to babysit so Ivy said she could babysit for her on Wednesdays until I get there from work and then Ivy told Bob to call her and she agreed she would call her to watch Lindsey sometime when she needs a sitter.

More Waterpark

 Riley and Jordan chase and after Bailey and bring her back to the blanket and towels we had laid out.  We also had a picnic table that we had our food and cooler and clothes on.

 Miss Bailey Girl may only be one but she definately has attitude!!!  She would push the boys away and take off and do her own thing!

                                                                Riley doing push ups

 Jordan would do push ups with Riley but would lay on the warm cement.  I think he was just trying to keep from freezing after getting out of the water!!  The cold air blowing would freeze you!

Riley's Birthday Party at the Rexburg Waterpark

 Jordan and Riley loved the slide for the little kids that had a big fish on top of it

 Steve took Bailey on one of the bigger slides.  She really seemed to like getting splashed.  I was surprised most little ones don't like to be splashed especially in the face but she seemed to love all  the water even getting splashed!

                                                                Here she is splashing

Our beautiful Tianna who is now 12 absolutely loves the water!

                Here is Dallen  and Tianna on the lazy river  seems like all the kids LOVE the water

 Brandon in the water top is lazy river the bottom he is floating.  Even after all the pool time he got in Georgia this past week he still loves more water time! Jordan loved being in the water in the bottom picture watching Brandon.

                                                Dallen holding his nose before going under

                                                        Riley playing....he loves the water too

                                                 Bailey splashing and playing with papa

                                                      Jordan showing me he can swim.

Caught UP

And now I think I have posted everything I had pictures for. No promise but I believe I am caught up, sorry the order is off but I couldn't remember how things went and I wanted to get the pictures on.

R U Ready For Some Football!!???

 This is Dallen and he IS READY FOR FOOTBALL!!!!!!  He is playing his first year in pads and can't wait!!  He tries on his gear everyday.  Here he is showing me his gear, except a helmet, and his head is so big they are having to get a helmet from BYU for him!!!  He is proud of that too!

                                     Dallen showing us his stance.  He is ready to hit somebody!!

Sleep Over

 On Tuesday night I had all the boys over for a sleep over.  And Bailey...she cried to come with us.  It was the first time she has ever cried to come so I just couldn't leave her behind even though I knew she would probably not stay all night.   Dallen is laying here under the Georgia Bulldog blanket. 

 Bailey on the couch.  Jacob in his blue sleeping bag and Brandon next to Jacob.  Bailey you notice is on the couch not looking like she is even near sleep.....true she is waiting for her daddy to get off work and come pick her up!!

 Jordan and Bailey on the couch.  Stephen ended up picking up Bailey and Jordan and Dallen and taking them home.  But it was a step in the right direction Jordan stayed later this time then he ever has before.

                                              Riley on the couch with his pillow and blanket

 Jacob and Riley were the only two awake after Stephen picked up the other three and they were awake until after one am.

 The picture below I thought was especially sweet.  Riley was getting tired and he said nana come snuggle me.  I was laying on the pallet on the floor with Brandon and Jacob well Jacob stood up and said gramma I will snuggle him he's just a little boy.  So Sweet!!  Then Jacob got on the couch and said Riley I am going to snuggle you.

 The next morning after staying up until after one am the boys were up by eight am.  I couldn't believe it!!  But it caught up with them!  At least it did Riley....he crashed at Mandys later that day.

 And sweet Jordan wanted to play but came and laid by him for a minute.  And didn't wake him up.  Such sweet cousins!!!!!!   And good friends!!!
