Exersaucer Fun!

Riley feelin' "not so sure" about this new toy!

Reid showing his little brother the ins & outs of an exersaucer!

Little man hangin'.

My sweet boys "playing" together!

Reid in the exersaucer about this age...
LOVE seeing the difference in their little faces!
They look so different!

I pulled out the exersaucer the other day and thought maybe it was
time for Riley to try to sit in it. Of course he has no idea how to play with the
toys on it or push the buttons, but it's so stinkin' cute to see his little body
sitting in it! He is so little compared to how big Reid was at this stage.
They are both precious and I love discovering these ages & stages all
over again with little Riley.

Trick or Treating with our 2 cows

Riley didn't go trick or treating with us,
(thank you for babysitting, mom & dad!)
but he sure looked cute in his little cow costume!

Cow #2... ready to get some candy!

Riley about to fall into the pumpkins...
Reid hasn't quite figured out how to hold his little
bro just yet!

Our sweet fam before the trick
or treating began. :)

Reid & his little friend Matthew.

Reid thought this was a "cool cat!"

Reid was just a little excited about trick or treating this year!

Some sweet friends Reid trick or treated with!

We had a ball and Reid loved every minute of Halloween and all the festivities this year!
He really got into the whole trick or treat thing and kept saying, "Let's go to the next house!
Let's go to the next house!" It was so cute to see him walk up & open his bag for candy.
He wasn't shy at all. After about an hour & a half though, he was asking to be carried.
We were done & headed home to pass out some candy to other kiddos.
Hope everyone had a safe & happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch 2010

Last Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch in Flowermound.

usually do things like this during the week without Rod, but I always hate for him to miss out on fun, memorable times like this, so I decided to wait till the weekend to go with him. Plus, it was a lot easier with him to help me with the baby
and Reid could have more fun running around and doing exactly what he wanted.... playing on the bounce houses and riding the cute barrel train ride!
What a fun day this was!! A little crowded, but it was worth it to see the fun that Reid was having and Riley woke up just in time to join in on the fun
a little bit too!! Happy Fall Ya'll!

Barney is always a hit!

My cool man in his sunglasses!

Can I really pick this thing up?

Precious boy!

Riley slept most of the time... we'll do it again next
year, little man!

Riding the "barrel train" with Daddy!
So fun!

Taking a corny dog break. :)

He woke up just in time to take a picture
in the pumpkin patch bucket on our way out!

Reid's first time holding Riley since he was born!
What a good big bro!

Riley got to join in on the fun for just a bit after he woke up!

Our sweet family. Can't wait to do it again next year! :)

Riley's first trip to the farm

So we went to my in-laws this weekend for a family reunion. We had a great time and I think Rod & I were both stressed about how it would go with little Riley and all his sleep issues. He did GREAT!!! I have never seen this kid sleep SO good!! He went to sleep Saturday night at 8:30 with no trouble and didn't wake up until 7am!!! Whoo hoo!!! We were both AMAZED!! Sunday he went down for naps with absolutely NO trouble at all! We couldn't believe it! No crying... just fell asleep without being rocked! Really?? I thought this was the beginning of the new Riley and alas, we came home last night and all the crying started all over. Put him down at 8:30 and couldn't get him to sleep till 10pm. Woke up at 6am crying and ready to eat! Oh well. Guess the farm air agreed with him and the city air... well, not so much. That's okay Riley man. We love you no matter what!

I wish I had pictures to post of his first trip there, but of course I forgot the camera in all of our chaos to get out of the house!

Oh well. Next time. We may be going down there sooner than we think just to get some good sleep out of this kid!

Happy little guy. :)
(He is happy a lot more now.
Just doesn't sleep very easily!)
We'll get there, right?

Riley's favorite place to sleep... the swing.
The most peaceful sleep he gets!

We love you sweet Riley.
You are a precious gift.

Bathtime with the boys

A couple of weeks ago, I was trying to maximize my
time and decided to put both boys in the bath at the same
time. It was so cute and Reid absolutely LOVED it!
He got to take a bath in his "old" bathtub, so we had to bring
few bath toys down from his tub upstairs.
Riley really seems to enjoy his baths and doesn't cry at all.
I look forward to the day when we are bathing them together
all the time!

Reid's 3rd birthday

Reid had a ball at his "Old MacDonald" birthday party a couple of weeks ago. He LOVES the song "Old MacDonald had a Farm" so hence the theme. It turned out precious and the place we had it had a cute train, a mechanical animal ride, a play area, and a miniature golf course. Crazy! It was so fun and Reid loved every minute of it. He's really starting to "get" birthdays and parties, so this was a fun year!
He couldn't wait to open his presents and he is STILL asking for birthday presents. Poor guy doesn't realize his birthday is over for another year!

I can't believe our boy is 3!!! Before you know it, he'll be walking into school to start kindergarten. Oh gosh... I can't even begin to think about that! For now, here are a few pics to remember the precious 3 year old we have now!
