Riley Runs The Bases

Daddy finally got the videos moved from the camera to the computer. Even though it was awhile ago I wanted to show everybody a video of me running the bases at a baseball game. I didn't really know what to do so I just followed the other kids. Mommy thought it was so funny and cute.



I got a little confused coming to the last home base because I saw Daddy and Luci. But I think that I did pretty good for my first time. Daddy said that I looked like the next Ricky Henderson. I don't know what that means but I think he was proud of me. I was pretty tired. That is long way to run.

Annie

Last night I went with Mommy and Daddy to see Annie! It was kind of a like a show but the people were not in the TV. They were up on a stage. Mommy said it is called a play. I guess because they are playing. My friend Annabelle was there with her Mommy too.

I liked the play. We sat up close so everybody was right in front of me. I liked Annie and I liked the little girls. The girls had dirty faces. There was a lady who mean to the girls. I don't like her. And Annie had a doggie named Sandy. Whenever they turned out the lights they would move stuff around the stage. I would ask Mommy and Daddy what they were doing. I always wanted to know where Annie and the little girls were.

They sang and played a lot of music. I just sat in my seat and watched in the beginning. But then I was dancing along and waving. The lady sitting by us said that I would be up there in a couple of years.

And guess what? Mommy got me the Annie movie! So I can watch it in my house and when I'm in the car.

One Week of Summer Left

I only have one more week before Mommy goes back to school. When she goes back to school, me and Luci go back to Alice's house. I do wonder what my friends have been up to there. But I will miss hanging out with Mommy every day.

It has been a fun summer. We have had a lot of pool parties with Mommy's friends and my friends. It has been really hot outside too. So it is nice to cool off in the pool.

Today was a nice day and not too hot so we went and played on the swings this morning. I'm still practicing on the monkey bars too. The grass was wet and I didn't like walking through the wet grass. Mommy and Daddy tell me it is just water but I don't like it when I'm wearing flip flops.

And Uncle Kevin built a new deck so we have a lot more room on it. I like it because we have two stairs to go up and down now.

Well, I have more week to go.

Hanging Out

Since Mommy doesn't have to go to school anymore, we can get up and hang out all day! Some days we do go to the Y but it is fun to just hang out at home. Here is a picture of me and Luci hanging out on Mommy and Daddy's bed. We always end up there when we wake up. Luci usually wakes up before me and I when get up she is already in their room.

Trip Up North

Last week we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa and Tia and Tio. It was a long car ride but I watched by Toy Story movies so I didn't mind too much.

We did a lot of stuff when we were there. We went to the beach but the water was really cold. It was not like the beach in Florida! I got in the water a little bit. I mostly just played in the sand.

We visited Daddy's family and I got to see 2 babies! Baby Madden and Baby Lucas. They are small babies. They are even smaller than my Luci. They are boys too. Everybody said that we visited said Luci and me were cute. And Tio Brian got me a barking puppy dog. You push a button and the puppy barks or walks. I liked it.

I also went to see some ducks at another lake. I liked walking over the bridge. The water was going real fast underneath the bridge! It was getting dark when we got there so we didn't stay too long.


And we rode on some trains too! We went to go to a baseball game. It was really hot that day. But I got to eat popcorn and I swiped some sips of Daddy's Coke. Daddy was happy because the Cubs won.

It was a fun trip. I slept for a long time on the ride back home because I was tired.

The Zoo

We went to the zoo. Mommy, Daddy, and Luci and Grandma went with us. This was my first time at the zoo this year. Mommy and Luci went when I was in Florida. That is not fair! I was alot more into watching the animals than last year. I can say all of their names now.


I got to pet the goats. I made sure that I pet every one. There was a donkey there but we couldn't pet him. I don't how come. And Mommy and I got to feed the giraffe! We gave him some food but then he walked away before he was finished. I guess his tummy was full.



And we played in the splash park too! That was fun. There was a bunch of things that sprayed water. It was a fun day but I was tired. I fell asleep as soon as we got back in the car.

Happy 4th of July!

I am back from Florida. It was a fun trip. We drove home last night and I was a good girl the whole time. Gram kept telling Mommy how good I was. I had a dance party with Kevin & Tyler on the ride home. I went to the beach and the pool. Poppy helped me hold a froggie! And I went to a baseball game. I got to hang out with Tyler a lot. I watched him play video games and he watched Dora movies with me. It was a lot of fun. I missed Mommy and Daddy and Luci so it is good to be back home. And Wrigley came back from Grandma's house too!

Today we are going to the lake with Gram and Poppy. Hopefully I will see some fireworks.

PS - I know that hula girls are from Hawaii and not Florida. But I wanted to put on the hula skirt that Aunt Sissy got me.
