We are doing well.  Brenton's team comes in this week for pre-season training and he is beginning to get sleepless!  That's when I know it's soccer time. 

Riley and I are having fun times too.  Riley is starting to say her name and all the other animal sounds I thought she never really took in.  She is saying new words right and left these days. 

She has also taken on crawling onto things and jumping; she is her dad's child.  The latest was when she belly flopped off the couch onto the bumbo seat without warning.  We have a daredevil on our hands! (This is a bumbo seat, below, incase you were wondering!)

New Blog

Hey moms & family.  I've started a new blog for moms as I've been asked to help begin a mom's program at church.  I'll be updating the following blog more frequently than our personal blog.  Please become a "FOLLOWER" of a new blog!  We'd love input and involvement from others.

Gibberish

Gibberish, baby talk, call it what you want!  All I know is that this is the most precious child ever.

Growing Like a Weed

We are loving spring and this beautiful weather, though it seems more like summer since it has been warm for a while now.  Riley is growing like a week, nearing a year and a half.  Brenton has kept busy with soccer, one of his great loves.  And the college guys are nearing graduation.  Poor Brenton, very soon he is going to loose some of his volleyball teammates until Fall.  Really not much new to share.  We are living fully and doing well.  Happy spring.

A Walk at the Park

Warm weather is here!  Riley is getting a tan with all this sun, though you can't tell by these pictures.

Pigtails and Little Sicky

Our happy-go-lucky gal got truly sick for the first time this week.  We came home after church to a baby that slept all afternoon, until we left for dinner at small group.  The normal, curious smiley face, was a mellow, cuddly baby all night and ended up with a fever.  After reaching a 105.2 temp on Tuesday morn, the doctor said they would see her.  We found out she has the flu and an ear infection.  Poor little gal!

She is so sleepy and cuddly, which we love.  But I wish it could all be a result of a healthy, sick-free child.

We are doing well and we are busy.  We have been entertaining or helping entertain quite a bit lately.  About every weekend for the last month, I've spent time baking for church.  And, at the end of last week, we were able to host a meal for the men's soccer team.  It's always a pleasure to get to know them guys better and Riles loves the extra attention.  We even stopped by a few of Daddy's practices this last week; Riley was enthralled with the ball bouncing around and guys running every which way.  After practice, she went crazy walking around the indoor gym, having never seen a space so large to run in.  That's about all on our end... we are still here!
