Grandpa's Birthday

My Grandpa had a birthday. He turned 60 years old. I just learned how to count that high...and that is really high! I love spending time with Grandpa and likes to play with me. We always have fun when we see him.


I made him a card that I did all by myself. Daddy just showed me how to write his name and I drew a picture of him. I hope that he liked it.


We went out to eat pizza with family but I wasn't feeling good so Mommy took me to Grandma's house. I was feeling better later and I ate a piece of cake anyways.

Thanksgiving Cooking

We helped Mommy make the sweet potato dish today at Grandma's house. There was lots of good stuff to eat. I ate turkey and mashed potatoes and some green beans. And then I ate lots of pies and cookies for Thanksgiving too. Good stuff!

Running with Mommy

My Mommy is a fast runner. She runs all of the time. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning, she isn't in her room. So I say"Where's Mommy?". Daddy says "she is running".

The last day she was running a race and I got to finish with her. Daddy told me to get ready because when Mommy comes, I could run with her. I was really excited. Then we saw Mommy running down the street and she was waving me to come. I didn't know what to do because I'm not supposed to run across the street. But everyone said "Go Riley!" and "It's okay!". There were no cars because the street was just for running people.


So Mommy held my hand and we ran. I ran really fast. We ran into the baseball field. It was hard to keep up. Mommy told me, "almost there" so I just kept running until we crossed the finish line. I want to be a runner just like Mommy when I get big. I'm very proud of her.

"You are going to freak out..."

I have to tell something funny that happened yesterday. I was supposed to be going to bed but I was trying to be cute and stay up with Mommy and Daddy. I was giving Daddy a hug good night. And I smiled at Daddy and told him "You are going to freak out when I have a boyfriend." He said "A boyfriend! What?". Mommy just laughed. And I laughed too. It was funny. I don't have a boyfriend (Daddy note: ummm, better not) but I got that in my head from somewhere. Maybe Mommy or Daddy said it one time or something.

Riley's Photo Shoot

Luciana just posted about the photo shoot at the park. I have to show off my pictures too. I was better at taking pictures than her. She didn't want to sit down. She just wanted to run around. You don't have to tell me twice to pose for a picture.
