GG

Last week GG died and went to go live with Jesus. Everybody got together to say bye to her. People were sad but Mommy said she is in a better place with Jesus. My Mommy is smart so I know she'll be okay.


GG always liked to see me and talk to me. She would always ask me if I was a good girl. I was lucky that I got to know her. She lived a long time. Most kids don't get to know their GG's.

This was a picture from when I was a baby. It is my hand and Mommy's hand and Gram's hand and GG's hand. My Grandma said this is a good picture that we will love to have.



I'll miss you GG. Love Riley.

No Tricks, Lots of Treats

We carved our pumpkins this morning. I helped Daddy take the guts out of my pumpkin but he did the cutting. It was a Cinderella pumpkin because I was Cinderella today! I think he did a good job. That is Luciana's little pumpkin next to mine.


I had a fun time trick or treating as Cinderella. Mommy even dressed up as my fairy godmother. Luci was a ladybug. I went out and got lots of candy. Luci rode in the wagon and got a little bit of candy. Not as much as me though. She stayed with Daddy on the sidewalks at some houses. I went to most of the houses. I didn't go to the ones that had scary stuff. We skipped those.


My friend Annabelle had a party before we went trick or treating. I ate some chicken nuggets and jumped on a bouncy thing. Gram, and Poppy and Sissy and Steven came to my house. So did Kevin and Kristie and Tyler too. Baby Landon was dressed up as a tiger.

I saw a lot of my friends while trick or treating. Ella was Strawberry Shortcake. Allie was Snow White. My neighbor Katherine was Jessie from Toy Story. I said that I might want to be Jessie next year.


There were a lot of kids out trick or treating. I saw some scary ones. I saw a cheerleader and a football player. I saw little boy dressed up like an old man but I thought he was a monkey. Mommy told me he was an old man with an ugly face. I even went in a ladies house to try and pet her cat. But the cat ran away from me. I ended up getting some water and a donut at Ella's house at the end. It was a fun day and I have a lot of candy. I can't wait to eat it all tomorrow!

Getting Ready for Halloween

Halloween is pretty close and I'm excited! We've been getting ready for Halloween at our house. We put up some pumpkin decorations. And we have a Minnie dressed up and Mickey dressed up in black with two teeth hanging out of his mouth. I don't know who he is supposed to be. I put up some ghosts in my window. Are they scary?

We bought some pumpkins too. They are sitting on our porch right now but we are going to carve faces on them. That sounds like fun.


Everybody seems like they are talking about Halloween. Daddy said he was going to watch the Halloween movie but Mommy said it was scary. I told them "I don't want to watch any scarries". I'm like my Mommy I don't like scary movies. There is a movie about a big pumpkin and someone named Charlie. I don't think that is a scary one so I'll watch it.

I'm going to be Cinderella for trick or treating. Last year I was Minnie. Last year I really didn't know about Halloween because I was too little before that. Little like Luciana. But now I remember how to trick or treat so I'm going to be good at it!

A Day at the Farm

Today we went to Huber's farm with Daddy's work people. It was a warm day outside. There were a lot of kids there for me to play with. I played with Olivia. She has a baby brother and a baby sister. We fed some animals. We fed goats and cows. And we fed deers.




I pretended to be a bunny rabbit. And I showed Luciana the bunny rabbits.



And I played on some slides and swings. There was a big slide that I rode down with Mommy and my friend Chloe.



Well, Daddy tried to take my picture when we were up on the slide but I didn't want my picture taken! I was being grumpy.

I got over being grumpy and we rode on a tractor to go see the pumpkins. There were some big pumpkins. We got see how tall we were. Chloe is a lot bigger than me. I was right about at the 3. I guess that is because I'm 3!



Mommy let me get caramel apples at the store. I can't wait to eat the apples. When we were going home, Daddy asked me what my favorite part was. I said I liked the bunny rabbits. They were cute.

Check Up Time

I went to the doctor for a check up today. I'm growing bigger and bigger. I got to stand up on this thing and they put a bar on my head to see how tall I am. (Daddy note: 37 inches tall - I can't believe she is over 3 feet tall now) Doctor Howell told me that I'm perfect and she gave me a book. I like Doctor Howell.

I did not get any shots today but they did poke my finger and it bleed and bleed. I did get a band aid for my finger with a funny looking doggy on it. Daddy said his name was Taz. They also gave me medicine up my nose. It felt funny. I thought my nose was running but it really wasn't.

Everybody was nice to me. It was a good visit to the doctor.

Picture Time

I went to get my 3 year old pictures. I like posing for pictures. I wore my cheerleader outfit for some pictures and a pretty blue dress for the other pictures. I did everything they asked me and I smiled the whole time. Mommy said I was like a model. Daddy took a picture of one of the pictures so I could put it on the blog.

Then I got to wear my cheerleader outfit to a IU game.

Feeding the Giraffe - Part II

The last time we went to the zoo the giraffe walked away while I was feeding him. I was mad at the giraffe. We went to the zoo again today so I got to try again. This time he was a good boy and finished all of his food that I was feeding him.
