The weekend started on Friday with a trip to Grandma and Papa's house. It had been a little while, so Riley was very excited to see them, and of course Ben, Hannah and Sarah, too. Riley didn't know this when she woke up, but she was also going to get a brand new summer 'do. I knew of the upcoming event, though, so I snapped a few "before" shots of her scraggly hair...
No Noelles were injured in this photo shoot... maybe just a little freaked out. :)At 11:30, we headed to Kidsnips, an example of brilliant business and cruelty to parents. The place is more of a toy store than a hair place. I mean, seriously, every square inch is packed with treasures. Fortunately, Riley was most interested in the car chairs.
Cousin Ben joined us, too, which was an adventure in itself. :)

Not only did Riley get to sit in a cop car (which, as Chris-- Riley's stylist-- pointed out, matched Riley's skirt), but she got to choose a movie. For those of you who know Riley's movie preferences (Nana and Granddad), I'll give you one guess which movie she chose...
That's right... Wall-E!
I loved Chris. If we go back to Kidsnips, I'm asking for her again. :)
Another bonus (for Riley) of going to Kidsnips-- free sucker! :)
Then it was back to Grandma's to hang out with Riley's favorite cousin!
Friday also happened to be Michael's birthday (woohoo!), and due to poor planning (oops), he got to have pizza for dinner. It wasn't all that bad, though. He got Lou's, and Riley got to have her first Lou's experience, which, of course, we recorded in pictures...
I think she likes it. :)
You have to swish it around in your mouth to really get the full flavor.
Ever Mommy's helper, Riley stays close by.
... and playing peek-a-boo...
...and just being all-around cute!
Then off to Grandma and Grandpa's again!
Choo-choos, an absolute favorite
We even got out a little in between the rain. Ben was demonstrating his baggo technique.
Riley is one lucky girl to have such a great uncle!
And in case you've forgotten, we also have another child. :) Don't worry; even though this post is a little Riley-heavy, Noelle, despite being the second child, gets her share of picture time.
I love this cute little face!!
Just look at those cheeks!!
... and here it comes!
Yeah, baby! 31!!
And if you're still with me, well done. To make it worth the wait, here's one of the absolute cutest pics of Noelle to date. Thanks for reading! :)

Riley mostly relied on distracting her competition with her cute antics.
