The Birthday Girl

(photo taken last February)

Happy Birthday, Riley! We hope your birthday is fabulous! You are growing up so fast--we can't believe you'll be starting kindergarten this year. We love you so much!

Riley with her new shoes from The Children's Place. These were an early birthday present. Rebekah picked out a pair, and Riley loved them. She had chosen a pair of kitty slippers--but later really wanted a pair of these shoes, too. When we went back, I told Robin we could get those for her as an early b-day gift. She loves them!

Riley loves to help feed Kate!

Funny story--Robin called the other night to tell me this. First, a little background: Last week, the guys went fishing on one of those charter fishing boats. Well, the night before, they partook in a few adult beverages. In moderation, of course--nothing too excessive (they're not as young as they used to be, after all). Anyway, the weather the next morning wasn't the best. Apparently, the water was choppy, and the boat ride was a bit rough. A lot of people on the boat ended up tossing their cookies--including Tanna and Johnny. Poor guys.

OK, so fast forward to the other night. At her last tee-ball game, Riley is up to bat. She is not a shy one at all--never met a stranger! So, with all eyes on her, she turns around to the umpire and says, "My uncle got sick because he drank too much!"

LOL!

On the ride home, Steven asked her about this and how she knew that Uncle Tanna got sick, etc. She said, "I heard Aunt BeBe talking about it!" (Aunt BeBe is me.)

It's amazing the things they pick up on and remember!
