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.

Halloween III: The Return of Ariel

So finally tonight was the trick or treating at our house! I got my hair colored red again. (Later when I took a bath it made the water pink. That was cool.) Landon came over to trick or treat with us.


We went out with Mommy and Daddy first. I saw my friends Annabelle and Lydia and they were dressed up as Ariel too. 3 Ariels! We saw other kids dressed up like Ariel. I saw other princesses and some scary boys. I even saw a dog that was wearing a Halloween shirt. We put Wrigley in a Spiderman costume too.


Grandma and Ashley took us trick or treating too. We got tired and cold and rode back in the wagon. Then we went back to our house and I got to hand out candy. The kids all said thank you when I gave it to them.


After all of the trick or treating we have lots and lots of candy. I think there is enough candy to last until next Halloween.

Halloween II: Silver Creek High School

On Friday, we went trick or treating at a school. I was Ariel again but this time Mommy sprayed my hair red! I got to be red head just like Mommy.


It was inside trick or treating at the school. There was a big line of people there. We got a lot of candy.


A bunch of my friends were there. Ellie and Ashtyn and Kaidyn were there. I guess everybody wants to be a princess this year.


We tried to open the lockers but they were too hard for us. Maybe in 10 years we'll figure it out.

Halloween I: Party @ The Zoo

Guess what? I already did some trick or treating! We got to practice our trick or treating at the zoo. I was hoping that the animals might have candy but it was just people handing out candy. But it was fun anyways.


I am Ariel for Halloween. Then I am going to be Rapunzel next year. Then after that I'm going to be Jessie (Toy Story) or Jasmine. I haven't decided yet.


Luciana is Minnie. I was Minnie before too. I had to show her how to trick or treat. She didn't remember from last year and she didn't want to put her dress. Mommy and Daddy kept asking her to put on her dress and she kept saying "No!". Then Mommy told her that she couldn't get any candy unless she wore her dress. Then she finally put it on.



There were lots of things to take your picture with from movies. They had the princesses there and I took my picture with Belle and I took a picture with Snow White too.


We stood in line to take our picture with the Toy Story toys but I changed my mind. Buzz tried to talk me into it but I didn't want to. I really like Jessie but something about the big Buzz and Cowboy Woody was kind of scary. There was a lot of pretend pictures like the Jungle Book which weren't scary.

I thought this was a funny picture.

And there was a maze for us to run around. When you do a maze you are supposed to follow the path but I just climbed over some of the walls to make it out.

Now that we have practiced our trick or treating we are ready for the real Halloween at our house!

Riley on the River

We went and ate dinner outside. We were right by the river. I liked watching the boats and looking at the cars on the bridges. I had a hard time sitting in my seat and eating because it was so cool to look at. When it got dark a boat with a whole bunch of lights drove by.
