When it gets quiet...

It usually means Riley is getting into something. While we were at Grandma's this morning I thought Riley was watching a movie but when I went to check on him he had managed to get a tooth brush and tooth paste (sorry Kadyn I think they were yours) and a marker. I love that he wanted to brush his teeth but I don't understand why any time he gets his hands on a marker he draws on his face! Silly boy.

Fan Club

Riley's fan club is Aunt Kadyn's club Soccer team. When he shows up to the games the girls surround him and ooh and ahh at how cute he is and try to get him to show them his soccer skills. He's mastered the drop kick, throw ins and he can dribble like a machine!!!Here's a few "action shots" Please checkout his form!!! He's not even 2 years old and already has better skills than many 5 year olds! And he is wearing his froggy boots!!

Happy Halloween

We had such a fun night! First we stopped by Patsy's house and had some cupcakes and played ping pong... Then We went to Grandma Barbie's house for dinner and to see Aunt Kadyn. Then we went to our new neighborhood and met our soon to be new neighbors...Which happen to include Uncle Jared, he was so surprised to see us! I also learned how to say "Trick or treat"!

This Weekend...

Uncle Ryan was in town and he and Paul went to the Angels playoff game (Angel's lost). It's always a fun time when we're with Ryan, especially for Riley and Herbie, they love his attention! The next morning we went to The Beach House in Laguna Beach for breakfast...MMM, our favorite!!!Later that day we went to Anaheim for Aunt Kadyn's soccer game. Riley LOVES to be with "Ohhhh Grandpa" and Grandma Barbie anytime he gets the chance!  After Aunt Kadyn's game we headed to Laguna Beach so Paul could help his best friend Darren coach his son Dante's AYSO team. Riley LOVES watching Dante and playing with Dante's sister Tomiah. She is so sweet to Riley, like a little mommy always looking out for him.

Coaches (and Dante) warming up

Disneyland

Riley LOVES to be surrounded by girls, especially when its Au

nt Kadyn and her friend Mel! Today we had a fun day at Disneyland with Kadyn, Mel and Grandma Barbie (while dad went to the Angels game with uncle Ryan). We watched a parade, went on some rides and the cutest part was at the end of the night when Riley was in his stroller and insisted on holding Kadyn and Mel's hand, it made it difficult to get through the crowds but it was so precious!

Greek Festival

We love going to festivals & fairs that we hear about. Our friends Mike and Angi told us about a Greek festival in Irvine and we were in! It was such a fun night with great food, dancing and bouncy houses for the kids (that Riley hated). We would have put money on the idea that Riley would be the ONLY red head at the festival but we were wrong, we saw 2 other red heads :)
