Happy Birthday!

So this post is a wee bit late...but I have been SO busy. Anyway, on March 20th Riley turned 3!!! I can't believe my little boy is 3 years old already! It's fun to see the difference between a new baby and a 3 year old. I can't believe he was ever as little as Addie. Riley is in to all things BOY! We got him a fire truck house for this birthday and he LOVES it! I saw it on a deal at this site called kids.woot They have daily deals and have really good prices! Anyway, we got the fire house for like half off! To be honest, it is kind of like a boys doll house!

Anyway, since Riley's birthday was on a Sunday we had his party on Saturday afternoon. Jeff's whole family came and then my mom was in town as well! It was a blast. We made home made pizza and I made a DELISH berry-licious cake. It was from weight watchers (that's another post) and it was SO good and it is not too bad for you either! It's great! Anyway, my mom and dad bought Riley a house to play in outside and Jeff's parents and sister got him a slide! He was in HEAVEN!



**NOTE: Random children were not included with Riley's presents!**

Jeff's brother and his wife got Riley this wicked awesome Robot book! He seriously was so happy!

He is definitely spoiled...but he is our first AND it had been a long time since there was a grandbaby born into either family! We love our little Riley and are excited to see what new things he comes up with this year! Here is a little info on our Ry guy:

*HE loves firetrucks! I asked him the other day what he wanted to be when he grew up and he said "A FireTruck! Woo Woo Woo" (you know the siren sound they make haha)
* He loves to play ball and will play with ANYONE who walks in the door!
* He loves cars and monster trucks!
* He tries to sing along to the opening songs of his favorite TV shows...he's not very good at knowing the words but he is FREAKIN HILARIOUS to listen to! His favorites are Dora the Explorer, Go Go ( Go Diego Go), Caillou, Clubhouse (Mickey Mouse) and Bob the Builder! Our favorite to watch him sing is Bob the builder! I'll have Jeff upload a video of it later tonight :)
*He can count to 5...and sometimes 10
*He LOVES fruit...especially strawberries
*He is such a good big brother! He loves Baby Addie and tells us all the time! He says "Mama, I like Baby Addie!"
*He loves loves loves his Papas and Grammas and cousins and aunts and uncles! It is like Christmas morning EVERY time he gets to see them
*He knows how to get places while driving and will tell you which way to go (and he is right 99% of the time!)
*He loves to play outside
*He is a huge homebody...if he has the choice to go somewhere he will choose to stay home! (Totally his father's son!)
*He is really polite (most of the time) and says please and thank you lots!
*His favorite foods are chicken nuggets, hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, mac n cheese, shredded cheese, strawberry jam, milk, any fruit you allow him to have, green beans, carrots, yogurt, and of course candy!

We love you Riley! We are so blessed to have you as our son! There is NEVER a dull day with you around! Thanks for making us laugh and smile all the time. Here is to the best 3rd year a little boy could have :)
