365 Photos Day 66

When the day comes and you find this on your son's desk you know he just may be officially smarter than you...especially since I don't know what this is!

Happy Birthday Riley

Today Riley Lynn is eleven years old.  We are excited to spend this day with a son that makes us very proud. 

Eleven years ago we would wait two days in the hospital for Riley to come.  He was so bitty at four pounds fourteen ounces and now with the blink of an eye he is getting ready to go to middle school. 

This is a son who at this time dreams of being an engineer.  He loves a good book.  Riley has made a request to move downstairs this summer to his own room.  He loves the fact he stays up later on weekend nights while everyone else has to go to bed.  He talks of a first hunting trip this fall. 

Riley has asked for a sledding party for his birthday this year. So that is what the plan will be.  He has set out the menu for tomorrow complete with a lemon meringue pie. 

My love for this son runs deep just like all of our children.  On a child's birthday it seems like a day to think of all that has happened over the years.  A time to remember the first time you saw them and the love that seems to flow from you.  Happy Birthday Riley we are excited to see what life holds for you!

365 Photos Day 63

Oh I am a little behind today (for yesterday)  but I did run a 10 mile race Sunday and wanted a photo to remember the day! 

Theater Time

My youngest sister Tam usually gives us a gift at Christmas that is something to do together.  This is treasured time between my Mom and her three girls. This year was the gift of the play "Catch Me if You Can".  What a wonderful play and musical it was! 

A very popular theater downtown Denver. Oh the shows I would love to see!

After the play was a dinner at a Thai restaurant.  Oh how yummy is that!  Living in rural America we don't get a chance to go out for that yummy food! It was a great day!

Favorite Friday Photo- Deal me in

Our two year old niece has quit the poker face.  I could not believe she would sit that long and play cards.  War seemed to be her game.

Watch those cards fly..after all my arms are not that long!

I will win...after all have you ever played with someone so cute!

After a card game it sure feels good to cuddle with my big cousin Brianna.
