Riley's New Car Seat!

Here is Riley in her new car seat. She was too big for the other seat so we found a pink one that suits her. We spent the WHOLE day looking for a soft wrap to go around the seat belt over her shoulder but we couldn't find one anywhere! We did find a swimsuit for me though! Anyway, so Scott laughed at me because I had to put the car seat together outside next to the car as soon as we got home. I was really the one that was excited! After putting the whole thing together and putting Riley in the seat, we had to explain that she can NEVER touch the Red button and get out while we are driving. I wanted to tell her that it was an eject button, but decided that wasn't a good idea.

Birthday Party

Riley went to a friend's birthday party last week. They had cupcakes that were shaped like Cookie Monster! Riley had more blue on her face then the 1 year old that was having the 1st cake experience! We are working on how to eat, but she likes to have more on her face then in her mouth!

Riley at the Pool!

After school Riley Jane and I went to the pool. It was hot outside, but the water was pretty cold! Riley Jane didn't care! She went straight in and swam around with 2 other kids.

Dinner at the House

Today we had crown roast for Scott's family. Here are the pictures of the night. Riley had a wonderful time with Meme coming over. She showed her everything in her room and where the ducks live!

The Insect Unit

So the children in my classroom are learning about insects. Riley and I spent a lot of time hanging up paper and putting insects on the wall. The children in my class made grasshoppers, ants, butterflies, and ladybugs for the unit.

Mother's Day!

We had so much fun today on Mother's Day. We started the day at Cracker Barrel and then headed to church. After church we went to Purple Glaze and painted a plate! We painted Riley's feet and hand. She had a great time painting her hand with every color on the table. After we were done we went out to dinner at a Mexican Restaurant. Riley and Scott laughed and joked around the whole time while I had to make sure that they weren't too loud! A clown went in to the bathroom and Riley kept telling us that a clown was in the bathroom and she needed to go but she wanted to wait for the clown to come out! We didn't believe her so I said, "Riley, come on let's just go potty." We went into the bathroom and sure enough there was a clown! Riley said hey and RAN into the bathroom stall!

Riley at the Jacksonville Beach

Riley wanted to go to the beach so we went to find some shells for my classroom. Riley tried to make a sandcastle! She later ran in and out of the water. We had a lot of fun playing in the sand.

Feeding the Ducks

Riley fed the ducks at the pond. She chased them around making sure each duck got some crackers!

Hanging in the Hotel and Having a Pillow Fight

Riley and Uncle Andy having a pillow fight!

Papa wanted to get Riley too!

This is Riley Jane in her new dress on the hotel bed waiting to go to Grandma's funeral. She made a pretty picture for Grandma to hold.

Haircut Time!

It was time for a haircut. Riley Jane was excited to have her hair washed and cut! As you can see we cut a lot.

Flower Planting

School Days

These are pictures of Riley Jane at my school. We are working on the Flower Unit and Riley Jane LOVES going up there and working on her flowers. She painted a picture of flowers and then worked on her garden.

From Snow to 88 outside in One Week!

Today we came home and Riley went out on the porch to rock in her rocking chair and feed the ducks. She had a great time.
