Memory Lane

I was just looking through old pictures of Riley, trying to decide who Brooks looks most like, and I had to post these.  It makes me a little sad, just how BIG she's getting!  Oh, sweet Riley-girl, I love you so much.

Here she is with her buddy, Robbie.  She looks like my little Amish girl.  Hehe.

Look at that!  An early family photo!

Smooches, Riley!  Love you!

Fathers' Day in Lake Geneva

After a little morning rain, the boys got to go golfing up at Abbey Springs, again, this year!  And while they were away, the kids and ladies hung out at Great-Grandma's house.

Noelle quickly snuggled up with Great-Grandma for some light reading. :)

Then she determined to have a go at Goldilocks on her own.

Is this not the cutest little dude you've ever seen?

Here's the crew that took the golf cart to the beach.

Noelle was totally cute-ed out for the beach.

Riley wasn't quite as pink but, clearly, still adorable. :)

When we returned from our rigorous adventure, Noelle sidled up the food.  She actually pulled this end table up to the appetizer table and dove right in.  Hilarious.

Hannah focused on getting her locks under control.

And, of course, there was much climbing and playing.

We had a blast.  And as a bonus, we got news that Aunt/Cousin Katie went into labor!  Jackson Scott has now entered the world... and on Fathers' Day!  Woohoo!

More Fathers' Day

I almost forgot!  Here's a picture the girls gave Michael for the big day.  They LOVED posing for it.  It was probably the easiest picture I've ever shot of them. :)

Brooks can't exactly stand yet, so he got a solo shot.

And I got this one of the three kiddos.  Bonus!

Fathers' Day

When I asked Mike what he wanted for Fathers' Day, he said, "I want gluten-free, dairy-free, neon-colored pancakes for breakfast!" 

No.  No, he didn't.  But that's what he got.

 Look at that neon-y goodness!  I mean, if this doesn't scream "DADS' DAY!", I don't know what does.

Oh, and everyone, clearly, had to eat in their pj's.  That's the only way to do it.  

Happy Fathers' Day to the best daddy around! :)

Just a Little Playtime

In the following drama, King is played by Riley, Rarity is played by Mom.

King: Hi.
Rarity: Hi, King! Did you bring us treats?
King: Well, it's my birthday, so they're just for me.
Rarity: It would be so kind if you would share.
King: I'm just going to go back to my house now.

The End.

All Three...

Here's a picture of each of the kiddos, at 7 to 8 months old.

I think it's pretty clear that we have really cute kids.  'Nuff said. :)

Just another breakfast convo

Mike to Riley, this morning, over eggs and bacon: "Stay away from boys with long hair and fuzzy dice in their cars. No good can come of that."
