And She Crashes....





Riley has been having these crazy naps lately, going strong and then dropping like a narcoleptic... I thought I would share a few photos of the cuteness.

One second she is reading Curious George on a pile of folded laundry, then, going going gone. I only left her alone for a minute or two. She even slept through the diaper change! Totally unheard of for our little light sleeper! Here's hoping that she's going to start sleeping harder!!

Here is just yesterday when she fell asleep before I she even ate lunch. Not even the roadrunner, her favorite, could keep her awake!!

Riley's Park Time




The Deal is that if the girls will let us run then they get to spend a hour at the park together. Riley and Eva have bonded very nicely!












She loves to climb....

EVERYTHING!!!










These are really cool swings at the Maidu park, it is totally accessible for children who have diabilities and so these swings are fun and comfy!

Easter



Easter was really fun with Riley actually being able to find them this year. Again the video is grainy sorry!!

Our Idaho Trip Finally....






Bye Bye Dalton! Okay I know This was April but that was school time so this is catchup time.

We went to Star to visit the fam when Dalton was leaving on his mission to Paraguay. It was
super fun and I am really excited to show off some pictures!Riley and Daddy having some fun in the sun! You'd never guess it was so very very cold!!!






This was Riley and Carson's game... she does and he follows. Open and Close!
Riley found Grandma Lori 's handbag, she's being pretty in pink!





We had an all green party, super fun! Westley really liked it!!

Here are some video of our trip, sorry they came out a little grainy for some reason....

It was a great trip and Dalton is doing great, what a missionary!!

What IS Piggy Party?





It's a question that I have many, well at least a few, people asking these days. Well I can't answer that without talking about Turkey Party. Turkey Party started about 5 years ago. I decided I wanted to be social in our ward at church since we didn't really know anyone when we moved in. I decided to throw a party. It seemed strange for Eric and I to have Thanksgiving all by ourselves so we invited over another family and the missionaries, cause they will always come for food! I loved it and the next year around the end of October Eric said, "so when is Turkey Party this year?"

It became a tradition. Our third Turkey Party I invited Whitney and Louie Mariner to join the other family, and missionaries. After the Party Withney and I decided we really should have an Easter version. That's where Piggy Party comes in. Turkey party in the fall with well turkey to eat, and Piggy Party in the spring with well Ham. It's a lot of fun and this was our second Piggy Party. We have finally started taking pictures and thank goodness for that. This year's party was Mad Hatter Garden party. It was great, I went thrift shopping and picked all mismatched everything and just made the table crazy fun. I will definitely do this again!







Riley making her, "this is boring" face... Can you tell she now licks the jam off her rolls?
