Park and a Party!

Last Thursday we met a bunch of friends at the park and Riley had a blast playing...she was not a happy camper when it was time to leave!

Here she is riding with Ashley and Kaley...you can tell she's pretty happy!

Sweet Tyler showing off his muscles and pushing Riley on the ride! I have to say that I am super impressed with all of the parks here because they have so many toys / play places that are so different and fun and each park has different ones so it makes it fun to try out new parks!
John, Amanda, and Maddie came out to play too and Riley and Maddie had fun sliding together!

John played with Riley a lot and she sure did enjoy it!

On Friday we had our first of hopefully many family movie nights! We had been anticipating "Up" coming out for rental and so that was our first pick! We all ate dinner and watched the movie together...BLT's and Creamy Tomato Soup...yum!

Riley really enjoyed the movie and watched the entire thing...she could even sense the suspenseful moments as she would start yelling "Oh nooooo Oh noooo"...it was so cute! The movie is great...a must see!

On Saturday we all went shopping...we had to hit up Old Navy since they were offering a 30% discount for military in honor of Veteran's Day...can't beat that!

After shopping and lunch Riley got to attend her friend Avery's 4th birthday party and it was so much fun!

Avery's dad and Jason work together and we were stationed with them in Arkansas as well so it has been fun to be out here in Cali with them as well! Avery's little sister Reese is just one month younger than Riley so they always have fun together!

Here's the birthday girl!

Avery's party was a Hello Kitty theme and it was at a cute little pottery painting studio!

All the girls had t-shirts with their names on it to keep them from getting too dirty and here is Rockin' Riley!

Riley was very attentive as the lady instructed the girls on how to paint the little plaques for their rooms!

Then it was time to get down to business and she did so great painting...she would even dip her brush in the water in between colors to clean it off!

Reese painted too...with the help of her momma!

Riley even decided that painting on the table would be fun as well!

After all the girl finished painting it was time for presents and cupcakes...Riley was so cute as she wanted to be in the middle of everything with all the big girls!

Doesn't she look like she's been caught in this picture?

She totally dug in and attacked her cupcake...that's my girl!

Mommy was trying to get a bite of cupcake too but Riley wasn't in a sharing mood...so I just swiped some icing off her face...hehe!

Riley fell asleep approximately 5 seconds after we got in the car and we put her back in bed when we got home but we're not sure that she actually went back to sleep...Jason worked in the yard and I headed to the grocery store because we were having company over for dinner...needless to say she didn't get that great of a nap!

We had a bunch of great friends over Saturday night and Jason cooked his Minestrone and grilled cheese sandwiches...they were delish! We had so much fun hanging out with everyone and Riley had to hit the hay due to her extremely fussy demeanor...proof that the nap was not that great!

Today we went to church, ate all you can eat sushi for lunch, and Riley took a 3 hour nap...woohoo! We met up with the Habbestad's for dinner at Red Robin and I worked on a craft project that turned out super cute! I would share photos but it might turn into Christmas gifts so I can not divulge yet!

That's a wrap...we had a great weekend!
