Adventures

Last weekend, we had a Girl's Day out (plus Jayden) with my Mom and sisters Kelli and Kristin. For the first half of Saturday we went to the Orange County Pet Expo (since we are all pet lovers) and thought Jayden would have a lot of fun there. It was really really hot, but luckily they did have a few exhibits in the air conditioned buildings to give us a little break from the heat. We got to see almost every single breed of dog, birds, reptiles, fish, etc. Riley was up almost the whole time we were there, just checking things out. After the Pet Expo, we headed over to Downtown Disney to do some more walking, shopping and eating.

Also, this past week was my little sister Kristin's birthday, so we spent the beautiful day on Tuesday in Venice-


Jayden was excited to have a "carseat buddy" in the backseat with him


Yaay! Pet Expo!

A Nice Day For a Walk

It was a really nice day out today, so my Mom and I decided to walk down the street to our local Farmer's Market to meet up with Kelli, Vince and Jayden. It was really small and we were done in about 10 minutes, but it was nice to get outside. After we were done we stopped by Corner Bakery for a nice dinner on the patio!

A Beary Perfect Day

Riley laughed for the first time today..my sister pulled out the camera and not only did she just smile, she let out a big laugh! Luckily we were able to snap it!!

Finally, a New Camera!!

I have been complaining and whining about my camera so much lately, after all- I have had the same camera for about 6 years. I just hated that I would get all these amazing shots of Riley, but with my old camera they would come out dark and blurry.

Happy Easter!!

We had a very fun-filled Easter this year! We spent the entire day with family, and it was great! First, we went to my Aunt's house where we had some lunch and got to spend some time with all of the babies finally! Nathan, Jacob and Riley are all about 6 weeks apart.. it was fun being pregnant all at the same time- and now we all have little ones almost the same age! So cute! After Auntie's house, we made our way to my sister Traci's in-laws where we had a delicious dinner! Again, Riley got to see more of her cousins, Jayden and Tamlyn.. it's always fun seeing all of them together!

Finally, when we got home, we had to do a little "Easter Photo Shoot" (because Riley was too little to see the big Easter Bunny at the mall).. =( so we had a little mini one with her stuffed bunny! Hope everyone had a wonderful and happy Easter!

Happy Easter!
