San Luis Obispo

We decided to take a quick trip to San Luis Obispo to visit Paul's Family... We stayed at Paul's Brother Ryan's Ranch. In the past Riley didn't like the horses, but on this trip he was much more interested in them!

On Our way up we always stop at Jacks Deli in Westlake, Riley LOVES the Pickles there!

Garden Cafe for Breakfast in Los Osos (A regular stop when we visit)

Cousin Trey makes the funniest faces!Paul, Riley, Ryan, Colton, Trey, Grammy and Eric with new cousin Owen! Then we went to the "Club" so the boys could swim and play with the water cooler :)

Riley LOVED the water! Or Not.....  Watching Diego and resting....

Riley and Trey chasing the Chickens at Avila Barn, Trey cracks Riley up!

Climbing through the Fence to see Trey's horse "Mine" Riley would get so excited to the horses! He woke up early every morning and ran outside to see them.

Carlsbad with T.E.A.M. Phillips

Today we went to Carlsbad San Diego to spend the day with Tabitha, Eric, Alicia and Marshall (AKA T.E.A.M. Phillips, how cool is it that their names are an acronym)! Thanks for having us T.E.A.M. it was a great Day! And thank you Marshall for sharing your trains with Riley :)

Eating Pancakes with Daddy Patsy and Melissa Uncle Jared and Cousin Aven Later in the Day we headed to San Juan for a Carnival, picnic and Fireworks.  Taking a little rest with Grandma and Grandpa

Petting the Bunnies (with his toes) and using the dance floor as a soccer field

Hanging with Aunt Kadyn and MelanieThis is Riley's new "move". We have no idea where he learned it but it was hilarious! Perhaps a break-dancer in the making? He played and danced for at least an hour!  Feeding Grandma pasta salad.

Irish Fair

We went to the Irish Fair today and Riley got his first kilt... The fair was really fun and Really hot! (about 102 degrees)

Paul was very proud when people asked to take their pictures together in their matching kilts.

Our shirts say Riley Beckett and Riley's shirt says "I'm Riley Beckett".....

Yard work, and I'm only 1 and a half!

Today we started the process for our new lawn. Riley watched the workers with their shovels from the front window and then went and got his. What a good helper, (even with no pants on)!

Herbies car ride

Today we dropped off Herbie at Grandma Barbie's to stay for a few weeks while we are in Tavarua. Herbie must have known something was up because he sat with Riley in his car seat the entire way.

Sushi

We know Riley is a "Chow Hound" but who knew he would like Sushi!!

It was no surprise that he liked the edamame beans but we couldn't believe it when he asked for more after he tried the salmon sashimi and tuna rolls! Yeah Riley!!!

Bike Ride

Paul and have really enjoyed going on bike rides lately. Riley isn't minding sitting in his "trailer" so much anymore, and on this ride he even fell asleep! We stoped at the Beach Comber in Crystal Cove for breakfast and while we waited for our table Riley impressed everyone with his soccer dribbling skills...
