Showers and fun..

I suppose before I update on the fun we've had this weekend I should get caught up from last weekend's events!

We had an uneventful trip home and got to the house late Saturday night...we had a great trip in TX but it is always good to be home and Riley and I both slept great since we were in our beds!

Sunday we spent the day getting ready for and showering Susan...a great friend from my Bible study who is getting married in a few weeks!

The weather was fabulous and we held the shower outside at Ashley's house!

We had desserts and they were all so yummy!

Socializing...

Riley even got to enjoy some cheesecake!She spent most of the time playing and entertaining Sally...she is such a good mommy!

She created quite a ruckus when she decided to put Blake's sweater on...Blake is 3 months old but considering the current styles she pulled it off!

Riley got Susan a special gift just from her...lip gloss! You see Susan is always so sweet and let's Riley play with her purse and inevitably Riley always finds her lip gloss. We have ended up with several tubes of Susan's lip gloss in our possession and Riley wanted to get her some new ones!

Of course once Riley actually saw the present she wanted to play with them...and Susan let her! We made sure that they all went home with Susan this time!

Me and my sweet girl...she was so good during the shower and had a lot of fun!

Eventually the sugar kicked in and she had a fun time playing with Sammy and being a silly girl on the couch!

Monday we had a farewell dinner with Paul and the gang and Riley was quite a toot! She took advantage of an audience and acted out a few times...when I would discipline her she would start crying, put on her saddest face, and say "Mommy said no"...she was looking for someone to call me out and tell her that she could do whatever she wanted...gotta love the two's!

After her exceptional performance we picked up M who babysat her while I went to Bible study...the two of them had a blast!

Tuesday we went to play at Nut Tree!

She liked playing chess...

and running all around!

She hung on these bars for quite some time while we waited for the train to depart!

After all the playing we met up with the girls at Rubio's for Taco Tuesday and had some good food!

Friday we left in the afternoon to take some friends to the San Francisco airport.

My friend Melissa has three boys and a deployed hubby...so she had her hands full!

We drove to the city, went through security with them, grabbed dinner, and got them off at their gate!

We had a yummy dinner...the kids had pizza and she and I shared sushi, potstickers, and tempura! If you would have ever tried to get me to eat sushi in an airport I would have thought you were crazy but at the San Fran airport it's a different story...they had a sushi chef right there making it fresh and it was all excellent!

Zach and Riley had fun playing and sharing food!

They also had fun pushing back since their highchairs had wheels! Thankfully Zach has a great older brother who kept pushing them back in and taking them on rides in the highchairs!

SIDENOTE: Who ever thought that putting wheels on highchairs would help any parent? You have to be kidding me!

The kids were good and we were quite a sight...2 moms and 4 kids...but we did it and I was happy to help her!

On the ride home we decided to take the Golden Gate bridge home...I don't think this sight will ever get old!

Today we had a total girls day...all day!

With several hubbies gone we decided to have a girls brunch at Ashley's house...chocolate croissants, berries and cream, monkey bread, pancakes, and mimosas!

The food was great and the company was even better!

Riley took a nap there and then we took all the kiddos on a walk and stopped at a park for Riley to play..the rest of the kiddos are little bitty babies!

After our walk we went back to Ashley's house and made paninis...fancy ones!

It was such a great day!
