RILEY THE STUNT MAN







Riley has been doing bike tricks for the past two summers. He wants to upgrade his bike to a motor bike some day! This weekend he asked if I would take pictures of him doing his bike trikes! We are so proud of how hard he tries to do something that he wants to do! :)

Flowers




Aiden and Jamma planted a bunch of flowers this summer. They are finally in full bloom. Aiden said, "They are looking good!" He is pointing to his favorite red one in the pictures!

Aiden's 5th Birthday!!!

It's hard to believe that our baby turned 5!!!!

One of the biggest hits of Aiden's birthday was teaching grandpa how to play the Wii! Wow! What belly laughs we all had!


I am five today!

Aiden got lots of Bionicles for his birthday! That's what he wanted!

Big smiles for his birthday!


Aiden liked playing with his big balloon!

Aiden got a camoflague outfit from Aunt Rachel and Uncle Dan. He loved wearing it. Riley had to find his matching outfit!

Aiden blowing out the candles on his cake!


Aiden wanted a Bionicles birthday cake for the longest time. About a week before his birthday, he decided that he wanted a pumpkin cake for his birthday! Aunt Becca made this for us!


Riley's First Day of First Grade

Riley is all ready to start FIRST GRADE!!!
Riley is waiting in line with his classmates!


Cousins...Lindsey and Riley on the first day of school. They both are in the same school this year!

Aiden missed his big brother. When Riley got home, Aiden came running to him!


Maxwell

One day after school, the boys and I took Maxwell out for a walk. He loves to stop and smell the flowers. Thought this was sooo cute. We were worried he might get stung by a bee...they were all over!

State Fair Fun!

At the end of the fair...the boys walking with Daddy!


They loved driving the tractors...lawn mowers...golf carts, etc.

Daddy and the boys!


How cute are they?



Aiden and Daddy on the Pirate Ship!


Riley on the Pirate Ship!



Mommy and the boys!

Look at the smiles! It made me sick watching them on the rides.


Hold on tight! Look at the smiles!


Yeah! I am tall enough!



The hit! Back scratchers!!!
The boys loved the balloon ride!


Posing for the camera!








Aiden and his back scratcher! It was worth going through part of the grand stand for these!







Icees!


Aiden was dipping his french fries in his icee!


Aiden's hit! He is such a fry guy! He doesn't care where we eat...as long as there are fries and ketchup there!






Smile!


Looking at the guys on the swing!




Riley called Becca. He started to cry when he talked to her. He was sooo excited! She was finally home from spending almost a month in Romania! He missed her soo much!







Aiden and Daddy in the Butterfly Garden. The butterflies were everywhere and landing on us!


Riley caught a butterfly! He was soo excited!


The boys on top of the giant slide!










Say Cheese!


Aiden freaked out when the butterflies landed on him. He was not sure what to think of them!



Riley loved catching them!

We went to the State Fair last week on Sunday! It was 76 degrees out and we thought it would be a perfect day to go! So did 200,000 other people. We were packed like sardines in the fair grounds and it really was not that fun! The boys enjoyed the couple stops that we made...but we didn't make many. We didn't go through the grand stand or enjoy many of the yummy foods that we usually do because the lines were way to long! The boys had fun on the rides! Overall, it was a fun day, but next year we probably will go on a weekday, early in the morning!
