Read below post first... sorry they are out of order

We went to go pick out pumpkins and this is the one Riley tried to "pick out" He has his Ohio State jacket on here. We have to support the local team I found the whole outfit at Once upon a child for 4 dollars!! Riley with his cup again. This is his new face that he makes it cracks me up!

Before his haircut

This is what happens if he stays too long in the toy box. he usually gets in a fight and the toy box wins.

Finally....

We are finally in our new place. It is so much more spacious than our last apt. Ryan started school two weeks ago so that keeps him pretty busy.Riley and I have been unpacking and tring to get all of the boxes out of the living room(ournext step is to remove them from the garage) We have been exploring the area. It is so diffrent than Rexburg. I never thought I woiuld say this but there is almost too much to do here! I love it though but i do miss my friends in Idaho.We decided to go to a family ward but I had to look really hard for families bigger than 4 or older than 30. It is pratically like our student ward except 2 times bigger! So it will be nice to get to know some people. Here is a little bit of what we have been up to. Also Riley finally got his first tooth at the end of Septemer He could walk at 9 1/2 months but didn't have one tooth until 11 months!!! Our little man with his new hair cut. Her doesn't look like a baby anymore:(

Riley likes to play with cups in fact better than all his other toys except for the potato masher but he likes to put the cup on his face and others as well. Also Ryan is wearing his new dental scrubs in this pic.

Riley discovered that he can get into his toys box he will chill in there for half an hour throwing stuff out and playing. There are more pics at the bottom post...

No Internet

We are finally getting the internet on Friday!! Thay are sooo slow here maybe because there are 60,000 people go to school here and they are started back school and need internet. Anyway I am at the library but soon I will update!!

"hark"

I've decied that when it is too hot or too cold outside Riley and I will walk around the mall(hopefully this doesn't get me into trouble on our bank account). So the other day it was soo hot so we went to the mall. They have a small aquarium and a play area where everything is soft and the most appealing thing about the play area is that there is gate around, so no chasing. So we are strolling along and I see the aquarium. I think to myself Riley might be too young but I will try it out. So I get him out of his stroller and bring him next to the fish tank. He squeals in delight, kicks his feets, moves his hands, and points. I thought I knew my child but apparently not around fish. My mom was there and showing him the sharks. She kept repeating shark and the next thing I know my child is saying "hark, hark". He doesn't stop talking about the 'hark" . So then the next day I went, but was in a hurry so I took him on the opposite side of the mall thinking that there was no way that he could see the aqaurium. The next thing I know my son is kicking his feet, clapping his hands, saying whooo hark, whoooo. I about dropped dead. Ever around us is smiling and laughing. It was hilarious. the "harks" were seriuosly about 75 feet away from us!

August..I know it's a lame title.

This is my cute little man in his new suit that I bought him at Once Upon a Child for $5. If this place is near you...go it has great things new and used. cute pj's(thanks valgene) Yes he is walking . He is into EVERYTHING!!I love to chase him though because he gets so excited.He is so bowed legged it is very cute to watch him walk. We went down to my grandma's for a weekend in southern Ohio and she has a lot of land so I took the kids for a tractor ride. They loved it.

I went to check on Riley during nap time and this is how I found him. Poor kid is still sleeps in his pack and play because all of our stuff is in storage.One more week !!!!! I can't wait to see my stuff again and be in our own place.

Riley's great grandma.He always fell asleep on her.

Our family before stake conference.

Me and my little man.

Riley dancing

Calling all synchronized divers.....

I love the Olympics! I get so pumped up.. it is almost that same feeling I get when I watch the movie The Mighty Ducks when they are playing Iceland in the finals and the music starts playing "We willl, we will rock you." I get very patriotic. I always wanted to be in the olympics but my dream was crushed when I failed out of gymnastics(I couldn't do a "normal" cartwheel..I did a variation). Everytime I see someone win or watch a medal ceremony, I get all warm and fuzzy inside. It's like I know Michael Phelps personally or something.I decided that I would want to be a synchronized diver, that is some serious stuff.WOW is all I have to say. What would you do?? I need a synchronized partner.

I have just returned back to real life from Forks, Washington...

I don't usually write book reviews on her but this book is all I can think about! I finished "Breaking Dawn" yesterday night and I am in love. !Poor Riley I think he missed his Mommy this week.As i look back now that I am out of Edward love land i realized maybe I shouldn't have prayed for nap time. I never want the series to end but alas all good things must come to an end.I am just dying to talk to somebody about it so if any of you that have read this book are done(Lauren Hubert..I know you are close if not finished) please oh please let's talk.
