Merry Christmas everyone!!!

For Christmas I am making Riley blocks. The blocks have been sitting on the floor in my craft room for a few weeks. Just the other day Riley discovered them. At least I know Rily is going to like his Christmas present.

Riley is so helpful! We were out clearing the walks and he went to the garage, grabbed a shovel, and promptly reterned to help.

Yes, that is broccoli he is eatting!!! The kid loves food with flavor, he loves pickles, and yes Frank's hot sause. He doesn't like cheese though! He will instantly spit the cheese out and gage.

As much as I do not like the cold, the snow can be pretty fun! We have a drainage pit by our house that we can go sleding at. Riley thinks it is fun to just be pulling around the yard in the sled though.



Riley loves to climb on the couch and hide behind the pillows. He will also climb on the couch and turn the lights on and off.

Every year growing up my mom, and Nicolas' mom would make or buy us a special Christmas Ornement. I always loved the tradition, and have kept it up. Riley loves snowmen so I thought it was fitting to make this years ornements snowmen!!

My snowman (or I guess I should say my snowwomen) is the one with the green hat and scarf, Nicolas' is the one with the red hat and scarf, and Riley's is the one with the blue hat and scarf.

More Cute Pictures!!

Here are some cute pics for your enjoyment, I am too lazy to type up the associated anecdotes.

One of Riley's favorite animals is a duck. So for halloween we dressed him as a duck. I could not find any yellow cloths so I had to make his costume.

My mom works at an elemantry school here in town, and they had a halloween parade on Thurday. Riley and I went and he loved all the attention. He was a little scared of the 5th and 6th graders though.

Riley loves fruit and veggies! Apples, Bananas, potatos, any thing.

We carved our pumkins on Saturday. Riley thought it was fun, but he would not touch the pumkin guts!

(Don't) Save the Trees

This weeked we cut down the two poplar trees that were in our yard. They were both only ~10ft tall when we moved in this March, and by the end of the summer they were ~25ft tall! Since poplars get to be about 100ft tall, we figured we had better chop em' down before it was too late. Here are some pictures of the adventure:
