Oh My Darling Clementine....

Riley has a new love... CLEMENTINE oranges. He peels them, eats them and then asks for more

Its no wonder...

It's no wonder why Riley's FAVORITE thing to do is play soccer! I was going through old photo's and came across these. I totally forgot that Paul customized his play pen with a net! Its actually a hockey net but it fit perfect! (Riley is 11 months in these pics)

A Very Merry Christmas: 2008

Christmas Eve we met up with the Wall/Smith family members that were in town and Grandma Barbie and Grandpa Jerry treated us to a Chinese dinner! We enjoyed our favorie hot and sour soup, and multiple entrees... MMMMM

Uncle Jared, Aunt Lindsey and Cousin Aven at dinner

Christmas morning we met up again, this time at Grandma Barbie and Grandpa Jerry's house  for eggs benedict and sour cream waffles (bacon, hot apple cider, great grandma Gwen's recipe for homemade chocolate). Christmas jammie's... Boy style 

Christmas jammie's GIRL style!!! (after we all stuffed ourselves with all the delicious food that lasted all morning!!!!)

This was Riley's 3rd Christmas (even though he's 2, he was Born December 5th 2006) but this was the best Christmas to date because he began to understand it! Every morning he would come into the living room and say "Christmas tree on"  (he wanted the lights on). When he would see Santa (anywhere)! he would say "Santa" and when he saw a nativity sense he would say "Jesus"... He's only 2 but his vocabulary is coming amazing and he wants to learn everything!
