Because parenting takes lots of time, we decided to have Riley dress herself while I made breakfast and Viv got ready for work.

So Mike usually updates our blog, but he has been super swamped with school. However, the end is near! He graduates in May and we have a fun time imagining what life after school will be like. But for now, we are in the process of adjusting to life after a fun 2 week vacation to Utah to visit friends and family (Wow, I am realizing how hard it is to organize your thoughts on paper when the last time you wrote an essay, or anything for that matter, was back in college.) While we were in Utah we decided to go camping. It was our first camping trip with Riley and it went better than I expected. We played a lot of games and "swam" in a nearby pond. The backpack and jogging stroller that we brought were lifesavers! The last photo is of Riley and her cousin Calvin. Every night before bed, Mike would take them on a jog to put them to sleep.











That's all I have for now. This blogging thing takes me forever!

I decided to take over postings from now on since my parents never give any updates. Yesterday was my mom's big event at the Children's Museum. She's in charge of all the events there so Dad always brings me to visit. Bunny Trail was great because I was big enough to explore a bit on my own.

There was a bubble machine which I didn't understand at first. I thought you were suppose to eat the bubbles. They didn't taste good.

Then I sat on the Easter Bunny's lap. My serious facial expression is because I was contemplating how he gets eggs to all the kids in the world in one night. My dad just looks creepy.
The best part of the event was the Radio Disney performers. I think I was the only one dancing.

Riley is learning stuff all the time. Its crazy. She never ceases to amaze us with new talents. It seems like she learns by paying attention to everything we do.... even how we hold the phone.


Sometimes she does things on her own without seeing us do it first. I promise I don't do this. Can't say the same for Viv though =)

Riley began walking officially a few weeks ago and we still aren't sure if we should be excited or fearful. Now she is able to find the end of the isle at church and tries to make a break for it. She has a taller reach which means nothing is safe on the end of the kitchen table anymore. The good news is she will soon be able to get me a soda out of the fridge.
