Riley turns 3

Riley Preston turned 3 years old today! He is a rambunctious little guy who is loads of fun and has more energy then Matt and I combined, I think. He is really in to firetrucks and police cars right now and requested a firetruck cake for his birthday.

 Matt made some homemade lego gummies for the party. The kids loved them and finished them off that day.

 So Riley was given lots of presents for his birthday but pretty much in all the pictures you couldn't see Riley since he had help with his gifts. :) 

 

Riley is doing very well with peddalling the bike on the pavement.

Tonight he was thrilled when a police man stopped by our house. The officer had pulled someone over near the house and when he was done he turned around and pulled in the drive to see Riley. I thought it was nice of the man to stop by and when he asked Riley how old he was he got to tell him it was his birthday. Riley was very sad tonight when he had to change out of his shirt that had a sticker from the police man on it. We love our little guy and are so thankful that God has given him to us to raise!

we went with some family to visit a little zoo near us... Matt got to go on a blimp ride... the boys all ready for the parade... Matt had lots of help driving in the parade...

 we had one boy all excited about the fireworks and one just the opposite (he did get over it and ended up enjoying them)... the baby was being all snugly with daddy... the boys and I went with my sister and her kids to the Cow Appreciation Day at Chick fil a... my little cows...

I'm so happy with my kitchen! Even though the floors are not what I would've picked out, they really don't bother me now with everything not being the same color... sharing an ice cream cone... I loved Riley's expression while wearing my sunglasses... the boys were excited to be holding hands walking into church...

I made a bright curtain and a sign with a quote from one of my favorite songs for the kitchen... we had a fun day planned with outdoor activities but it rained so we watched Veggie Tales, colored and had an indoor picnic... I believe that dirt is a necessity in a little boy's life... this kiddo is just like his brother and likes to try out dangerous things...
