THIS IS OUR NEW CHIMINEA! I NEVER KNEW THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE CALLED BUT WE LIKE IT! AND IT WAS ONLY $25 ON KSL.
HOT DOGS AND SMORES WITH RILEY'S LITTLE GAL FRIEND! LATER SHE COMBINED HER HOT DOG AND HER SMORE AND ATE THEM TOGETHER....GAG!
RILEY'S FIRST BOWLING EXPERIENCE. I THINK HE'S ENJOYING HIMSELF.
MALIA DRINKING HER WHOLE MILK.
RILEY CAN EVEN BOWL SIDEWAYS!
HE MIGHT GO PRO!
RILEY WAS SO BUMMED HE COULDN'T KEEP THESE SHOES.
THIS AFTER PICTURE IS BEFORE THE BEFORE PICTURE. THIS IS THE AREA OF MY YARD CALLED "CINDY'S CORNER" SINCE IT'S MY MOM WHO DESIGNED IT. YOU CAN SEE THE START OF A WALL THAT WE ARE GOING TO BUILD AS SOON AS WE GET MORE BLOCKS. I LOVE ALL THE PLANTS, ESPECIALLY SINCE MY MOM PICKED MOST OF THEM AND THEY ARE SOME I WOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT OF, BUT I LOVE THEM! I WILL TAKE ANOTHER PICTURE SOMEDAY IN THE DAY TIME WHEN THE WALL IS DONE.
HERE IS THE BEFORE PICTURE OF CINDY'S CORNER. OH AND THAT HAPPENS TO BE CINDY, IN THE CORNER :)
THESE BALLOONS ARE FROM MALIA'S PARTY. IF YOU EVER WANT HELIUM BALLOONS THAT LAST FOR WEEKS, GET THEM AT MACEY'S AND HAVE THEM USE "HI-FLOAT". WE STILL HAVE SEVERAL UP AT THE TOP OF OUR LIVING ROOM VAULT.
GOSH I TRIED TO CROP OUT MORE OF HIS TUSH! RILEY LOVES THIS NEW SNORKEL MASK! HE HAD IT ON DURING FAMILY PRAYER THE OTHER NIGHT AND IT SOUNDED LIKE WE WERE BEING JOINED BY DARTH VADAR.
RILEY TRYING TO LAUNCH MALIA. MALIA BRACING HERSELF AND CLEARLY SHE IS EXCITED.
I LOVE THESE PAJAMAS. THEY SAY "BIG BROTHER". RILEY IS SUCH A GREAT BIG BROTHER.
AND HERE'S CUTE LITTLE SIS!
MOM AND MALIA OUTSIDE THE RESTAURANT
RILEY AND HIS BEST FRIEND! HE WAS ON THE PHONE WITH HIS GRANDMA THE OTHER NIGHT AND AFTER TALKING A FEW MINUTES HE SAID "BUT, WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE YOU."
AS MALIA'S MOTHER, IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE HER WITH LIME WEDGES. IT IS UP TO HER WHETHER SHE EATS THEM OR NOT. SOMETIMES IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD TO LET THEM FIND OUT FOR THEMSELVES IF THEY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE :)
THE HALLWAY OF THE APARTMENT COMPLEX MY MOM, BROTHER AND I LIVED IN FROM 1989 TO 1995. OUR DOOR WAS DOWN THE HALL ON THE LEFT. QUITE A LOT OF MEMORIES THERE!
THE LAUNDRY ROOM WHERE I DID LOT'S OF LAUNDRY AND ONE TIME ACCIDENTALLY USED BLEACH INSTEAD OF LAUNDRY DETERGENT ON A LOAD OF DARKS. OOPS! I ALSO LIKED TO WATCH THE POWER METERS IN THE ROOM AND SEE WHICH APARTMENTS WERE USING MORE POWER.THE END!

awesome post! :D Love all the pics and little clips of stories. You crack me up the things you give your kids!
I know all about the balloons....the one from my birthday JUST fell this week and Sienna still has three up! crazy!
I remember that apartment hallway oh so well. Remember when we roller skated on the cement/patio on your building? And I know I brought it up before, but do you not remember the HUGE Last of the Mohicans poster your mom had on the wall? Also remember practicing "Everything I Do, I Do It For You" with Adam Merkley?
I could keep going, but I'll stop there.
Oh my gosh you are so funny! I love all your pics! And when I read my comment you left me, I was like, "Oh no, what is she going to say about the eggs!" And of course you gotta go making fun of me! hehe! You know I love it! I'll just get even! :) Miss you guys! And I'm a horrible sister, I didn't even call Ben for his birthday, so.........I think it would be funny to make up a belated birthday song and sing it to him, like me and Kade will sing it in stupid voices or something! I think we will do just that!
OH, Darci! I sure do miss you! I haven't been wonderful on keeping up on these blogs. But seeing the past three made me a little home sick and made me think about you and made me smile.
Happy Bday to Malia! I can't BE-lieve that hair and those eyes! Looking forward to my July trip to see her and play with her!
BTW, so I keep thinking the guy on American Idol - Lee whats his name... reminds me of Ben. Do people say that to him? Just something about them that looks similar... same hair color, height, stature, am I weird? Ivan doesn't really see it, but he doesn't see much if he doesn't wanna...
Love ya!
Ahh fun memories...oh, and are you sure that was whole milk Malia was drinking and not Diet Coke? ;o) Let's play soon!
LOL! I love Malia's "whole milk" and Riley's snorkel! The first time Sam went snorkeling (which was just this year) he had a tiny bit of a panic attack thinking he might suffocate..I of course was laughing at him :)
