Reunited...and it's such a blast!

Well we have been busy...and it's been a lot of fun!
Yesterday we went over to Mr. Lloyd's house for lunch...he had pizza, yogurt, pineapple, and cookies & ice cream for us and it was great! Riley only ate her pizza and yogurt so she would be able to eat some cookies and ice cream...whatever works!
Mr. Lloyd showed Riley this sheep and she was adamant about riding it...she also drew him lots of pictures!

She found his magnifying glass and had lots of fun playing with that!
We had a nice visit and by the time we left Riley had mastered saying "Mr. Lloyd" and she said it the entire time we were there..."Mr. Lllllooooyd listen to me" "Mr. Lllllooooyyyyd have ice cream too", etc. He was eating it up!


It was great to spend time with him and he is such a great man!
In the afternoon we met up with Derek, Tara, Kaleb, and Ashton at Pinnacle Park to let the kids run wild!
Our original plans included going to a jump house but they had closed so I didn't have Riley in the most appropriate shoes...she was quite the girl and spent most of the time picking the pebbles out of her sandals!
She was also rather timid on the playground...not sure why...but it even took some enticing to get her down the slide...she was sure being silly!

However, once we let the kids just run free in the big grassy field they were off and the rarely stopped!

Kaleb brought a golf club and ball and showed Riley how to use it...let's just say that our time has been spent playing with dolls and not practicing golf...she needed a little lesson from Uncle Derek!
They found this hole and had a blast jumping in and climbing out of it...squeals of laughter and smiles galore!
After playing at the park we headed to Cheeburger Cheeburger to get some grub.
These two were so entertaining to each other they barely took a break from giggling and nearly screaming to eat their dinner! They just had a ball together...it was so fun to watch!
After dinner they ran around outside the restaurant and it was all tears from Miss Riley when it was time to go. What a fun night!

Today Riley was a toot...she played with DiDi all morning and then put up quite a stink when it came time to take a nap...we finally got her down late this afternoon...phew!
After she woke up she was in a much better mood...imagine that!
She had fun watching some TV with her Gaby!
This evening Reed came over to play...what a cute little guy he is!
Riley was not quite sure about Reed at first...giving him "the look" quite often. They soon warmed up to each other and did quite a bit of dancing! Reed sure has some awesome moves!

Rewind a year ago when Reed was just a few weeks old and Riley wanted to hold him! Here are Andrea and I with our little ones...Riley has quite the scowl and Reed is cheesing it up!
And finally time for some kisses...

Riley is just loving all these boys..we'll have to watch out for her!
She especially loved tickling Reed's belly when he was getting his jammies on!

It's so good to be here and get to spend time with such special friends...so far it doesn't feel like it's flying by and I hope it stays that way!
We have lots more fun ahead of us!
