kellen and riley had a very fun memorial day weekend. we officially opened the family pool because it was HOT! we went to dylan's house to try out his pool as well. it was a great weekend filled with cook outs and poolside fun.
now that Riley is in preschool, she is learning a whole new set of songs. these were a couple that we find most entertaining. the "razzle dazzle" song is a little long because i wanted to show off Kellen's climbing skills.
Kellen turned 8 months old today. He has been army crawling all over the place and he is getting fast! Kellen is starting to say some babbles - including ba-ba-ba and, Andrew's favorite, da-da-da. Kellen got 4 more teeth - all across the top. We also had to move the crib mattress down a notch because we came in and found Kellen up on his knees with this head over the top of the crib. In addition to moving quickly, he is learning to climb over us and Riley's stool. The picture at the bottom is Kellen and Ilsa. The two are the same age, but he is a lot bigger than his friend.
Riley had a great time celebrating her third birthday. On her actual birthday (thursday) we left school a little early and went to the park with our friends. We worked up quite an appetite and came home to have Cane's with daddy and Kellen. Riley was the hit of the day at school, bringing cupcakes to class for snack. She wanted to make sure we had left overs so her grandparents would have something to eat when celebrating her big day. I assured her that we would be getting another cake for her birthday party on Saturday. Today we had a great celebration. Grammy and Grandpa Howie made it back from Charleston just in time to party like a three year old. Grandma and Pop Pop came down, along with Uncle Jordan and G Grandma Farm. What a house full! Riley had a delicious lunch of hot dogs, fruit, pasta salad and chips. We took a break to open presents and then ate some yummy birthday cake, decorated with My Little Ponies! Riley got a digital camera and has been taking pictures all afternoon. She also got a table and chairs that dad will have to build for her. Thanks for all of the cool gifts. Riley had the best birthday ever!
