Who....

does Riley look like???  Below are pictures of all three kids around the same age, sleeping in the swing.  Spencer and Riley are even wearing the same outfit.  What are your thoughts???

Easter 2011

Easter was as busy as usual this year. On Saturday we went to Aunt Erin's house to color the eggs.  And to hang out with family. 
Riley and his cousin Lincoln.  They are exactly four weeks apart.  (Riley is older)

On Easter we went to my mom's house first.  I made a yummy new recipe.  Oreo truffles.  Everyone that tried them, loved them.  They were so good!!  The kids got tons of candy and treats. 

Our next stop was Aunt Sheri's house.  The kids went on an Easter Egg hunt.  They love looking for eggs.  There was even an Easter egg hunt for us big kids!  : ) 

Riley Bug

Riley is growing too fast!  I took him for his 2 month well-check this week.  He is already 2 whole months old!  Here are his stats:

11 pounds 8 ounces  40th percentile

25 1/2 inches long 90th percentile

Just like Emma and Spencer, long and skinny.  I must say that I am so in love with this baby.  He is such a good, sweet boy.  So happy and content.  For some reason I started calling him Riley Bug.  Which now has turned into just calling him Bug or Bugger or Buggy.  Silly, I know.  At 2 months old he is rolling over, smiling and giggling like crazy, sitting in his Bumbo seat, sucking on his hands, sometimes holding and shaking toys, etc.  He coos and talks.  He loves to have his diaper changed.  He giggles and smiles every time I wipe his little tush.  :)   He loves when you sing to him and play peek-a-boo.  He is a very good sleeper.  He LOVES his Mama.  Which, of course, I love!!  I can just see in his eyes the love that he has for me.  It is so awesome.  Now for lots of pictures of my sweet boy!

Riley's Blessing

Today was Riley's blessing.  And, like they always are, it was awesome.  A father's blessing is so amazing and spiritual.  I'm always so thankful that Shaun holds the priesthood and is able to give not only our kids blessings, but me as well.  I can't wait to see Riley (a very long time from now) blessing his newborn baby!

Flagstaff

We went to Flagstaff this weekend with our good friends, The Richardson's.  It was crazy, but fun!  Travelling with three kids is nuts!  They did not like being cooped up in a tiny hotel room. 
The guys got to go snowboarding while Shauna and I manned the four kids.  We took them all to the mall.  The next day we took the kids sledding and of course to play in the snow.  They had a blast.  It was pretty windy and Riley did NOT like that.  He slept in my arms most of the time. 
The kids did very well on the drive there and back.   

Six Years

Shaun and I celebrated six years of marriage yesterday.  We went to a Brazilian Restaurant in Scottsdale called Fogo de Chau.  It was so yummy!  If you like steak, I highly recommend it.  And we just spent the day hanging out together.  Shopping around and enjoying each others company, ALONE!!  : )  We went to this cool used clothing store called My Sister's Closet.  They have name brand and designer clothes only.  I found some cute stuff for a really good price.  I left Riley for the very first time.  It was hard, but I had to leave him some time.  Thanks to my mom, sister and aunt who took such great care of my munchkins!! 
I am still so in love with Shaun.  And am so grateful to have him as my husband. 
(We attempted to get a picture)

Wildlife Zoo

We went to the Wildlife Zoo with our good friends The Richardson's.  It was pretty fun.  Emma and Spencer both loved looking at the animals.  And we ate at the restaurant that they have there.  It is an aquarium with sharks and fish.  Before we left we asked both kids what animal they were excited to see.  Emma, of course, said a giraffe.  And Spencer said zebra.  They both got to see their favorite animals!!  Emma even got to feed a giraffe!!  Riley was there too.  He slept most of the time.

Riley has been smiling more and more.  He even laughed the other day when I tickled him.  He is really happy for the first half of the day and then gets kind of cranky towards the end of the day.  One day he cried for an hour and a half straight.  I hope he does not have colic.  I have heard that it is not very fun.  :(  But, seriously, how cute is this baby!?!?
