I can't believe he is this old already!! Time has gone by so fast! Now I have Lexie too!! I remember the day he was born and everything that happened that day like it was yesterday. I feel sooooo old (even though I have many friends with 3 or 4 kids already and some have kids as old as 7 or 8) it makes me wonder how they must feel lol!! Before I know it Riley will be starting school, then finishing elementary school, then graduating High School and then I will feel old!! Anyways enough of the feeling old business! </div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">So we celebrated Riley's birthday yesterday. It was a Sunday and we have church at 1pm and that time really sucks when you are trying to organize family get togethers and dinners but we decided we better go to church (I won't lie we honestly thought of skipping). Riley decided he wanted Pizza and a Race Car cake with Lightening McQueen and Mater on it. I only make simple cakes and have no creative or cake decorating talents so I decided since I wouldn't have time to make it (we were busy the day before and went swimming for his birthday) we would just take the easy way out and get one from Safeway. I also didn't want to mess up on it and him not like it. I am really sure he would have liked it just as long as Mater and Lightening McQueen were on it I was mostly just trying to save time. So since I teach Primary Jesse took Lexie home during Priesthood/Relief Society and started making the pizza. By the time Riley and I came home from Church his grandma and grandma Atwood were there and so were Nana and Papa McMurray. They were helping Jesse and it was almost ready. Riley was so excited to see them and was happy we were having pizza. He was so excited he started doing his arm flapping thing he does when he is really excited!! He had a lot of fun and Nancy and Eric and their kids came later for cake and the present opening. He was a very spoiled boy this birthday and got A LOT of stuff!! I have always wondered what people do after every one of their kids birthdays when they keep getting more and more stuff and then their siblings get lots of stuff each birthday and Christmas as well. What do you do with it all?? How do you have enough space, especially when you already have lots of toys and things to begin with that are still being played with??? Our basement is just full of toys and Lexie's birthday is in 3 months and then like 5 months after is Christmas!! I guess I just need to go easy and not buy as much or dejunk maybe??</div><br /><div align="center">Anyways here are some photos of his fun filled day!!! We forgot to take a big picture with him and all the grandparents!! We kept meaning to but forgot so we don't have proof they were there lol!! So just imagine they were where when you look at these pictures cuz they were there. I wasn't in one either cuz I was taking all the pictures, it looks like it was just Riley, Lexie, Jesse and the Bly kids lol!</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx_NWoPBO020DnjBK1CBUL5LVNUVDra6xTzoRKy-6bGgl4VasD1W1t-gpv8tEJzxcPJqcJmQBEIAoE7swrSXGKJap8pKG7CUR31TxtNQ8RqDC9lKdse19xU-13EMPEnNZRmX1_XkUnUxDw/s1600/IMG_0170.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613841369085551442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx_NWoPBO020DnjBK1CBUL5LVNUVDra6xTzoRKy-6bGgl4VasD1W1t-gpv8tEJzxcPJqcJmQBEIAoE7swrSXGKJap8pKG7CUR31TxtNQ8RqDC9lKdse19xU-13EMPEnNZRmX1_XkUnUxDw/s320/IMG_0170.JPG" /></a> Riley's race car cake!!

After two long weeks of cleaning up pee and fighting with him and crying and him crying and him having melt down after melt down, we can finally all enjoy some peace. For most of the month of February Riley was showing interest in using the potty. He is a very strong willed stubborn child, and I thought we would never be able to get him to go potty. We bought 2 potty seats one for downstairs and one for upstairs and we got out the jelly beans, chocolate chips and race car stickers. Jesse got him to go while he was still in diapers. He would get out his ipod and show him little clip shows that had toy story characters or cars and would play the little clip telling him to show woody he could pee or show buzz he could poop and he did!! I couldn't believe how simple that was. Of course only daddy could get him to go by using that trick. I had do some bribing in different ways like get him a treat or a toy from the dollar store. More towards the end of Feb he was going about half of the time. On Feb 28 we made the scary decision to get rid of the diapers and to put him in underwear. A few days before we took him to Walmart and let him pick out some big boy underwear. He picked out some Winnie the Pooh, Cars and Toy Story underwear. He seemed sooo excited he kept saying underwear underwear all the way home. So Day 1 with no diapers he had about 6 accidents and I didn't feel like I could do this anymore. The thing that started to work was that he got really sad when he peed his pants and I had to take them away to wash them. That devastated him and he started telling me he had to go more often. Day 2 he had 3 accidents, Day 3 he had 1 accident and Day 4 he had no accidents. I am sooo proud of him. Of course Jesse and I were so proud of ourselves for training him so fast we thought we were the best lol! A week later he started peeing his pants again and then refusing to go, then we thought were weren't so hot lol! Now we have no problems with him, he even wakes up dry and goes as soon as he wakes up. So I am just happy that we got him trained during the day and even through the night before he is 3.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Way to go Riley!!!</div><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitK2GW87vUtoYWeS-ynLpqbWRXSoLjbramM_lxHTs1MavllBnuUZK-1dDQMvtMRoCfSm7SPpp1pXmF39iDGTeUbMMgpsvwDE_jxnTBSw68V4FmIf_f8IL5jWe45zO-QZWQOhUZTXhUhsx_/s1600/IMG_2148.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613852715074377714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitK2GW87vUtoYWeS-ynLpqbWRXSoLjbramM_lxHTs1MavllBnuUZK-1dDQMvtMRoCfSm7SPpp1pXmF39iDGTeUbMMgpsvwDE_jxnTBSw68V4FmIf_f8IL5jWe45zO-QZWQOhUZTXhUhsx_/s320/IMG_2148.JPG" /></a> We got him a potty training book to read while he would sit and try.

He was a bichon Shitzu dog.We got Max when I was only 12 years old, we still lived in Magrath at the time. Now I am pretty old some of you know how old I am and other's don't and I am ok with that lol! For those of you who know how old I am, you know that Max is a pretty old dog. Okay, so I will tell you how how old Max is. He was 16 years old! He started getting sick at the beginning of this month. He wasn't eating, he was losing teeth, he had problems with one of his eyes and he just grew really weak. He couldn't hardly walk and he just sat in his bed all day long and didn't do anything cuz he could hardley move. On Thursday night I got a phone call from my mom telling me that on Friday they were going to be taking Max to the vet to be put to sleep. They said it was the best thing to do for him because he was suffering and unable to eat so he was basically starving himself, they were not sure why he wouldn't eat and they tried many many times to get him to eat. They even tried giving him cheese which he loves and as soon as one of us would get cheese out and start cuttng it, he would come running. It was just better to take his pain away and let him rest I guess. I was so sad and I still am. Max had been in my life for a long time. He was mostly my sister Becky's dog and she was devastated. My parents were even sad and I didn't think they would be. They always thought he was so annoying and couldn't wait to get rid of him after we all left home, but they never did, they held on to him because all us kids loved him so much. Growing up dad would always joke every year and say that this Christmas he was going to be getting Max his coffin. On Friday Dad really did build him a coffin. I didn't think he would but I think it was sweet that he did. After Max was put to sleep he was wrapped in a blanket that was used in his bed. In the coffin were his favorite toys. I wasn't able to be there to bury him but my parents, Becky and Jon buried him close to my Grandma and Grandpa McMurray's house in Beazer. It was a sad sad day and I am kind of grateful I wasn't there to see him so sick and weak just thinking about that was enough to make me burst into tears. He was a good dog, we all grew so attached to him and will really miss him. </div><br /><div>Some of my memories of Max were when we always included him at Christmas. He had his own stocking and Becky wanted us to include him as well in the family Christmas draw, and we did every year. Everyone always wanted to get Max's name. One year I didn't know what to get him and dad told me to get him this rubber bone (I was about 13 or 14 years old). This bone cost $9 which was a lot to me then. Max hated it and wouldn't even touch it, and I always would bug dad year after year saying "Nice choice dad!"</div><br /><div>I also remember dad giving him funny hair cuts making him look like a buffalo, or a lion, giving him a beard. </div><br /><div>I also remember one time when we were camping, Max was about a year old and we were at Beazer swimming in the creek and Becky asked dad if Max could swim and he said 'lets find out' and he threw Max in the water lol! Becky was so scared thinking Max would drown but sure enough he swam right to the edge and was able to get out.</div><br /><div>We also taught Max many tricks and Becky was having him jumping throw a hula hoop, she built a bar supported by two pillows for him to jump over, he would shake a paw, dance and roll over.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Sorry if I am boring you guys to death but this write up is mainly for my family to read our memories and for me to have a record of it. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Rest in Peace Max you brought so much joy to our family for 16 years, I will always remember you and you will be missed :(</div>robynatwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05017460681329814173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217073730135771448.post-63903976722494599302011-02-16T23:38:00.001-08:002011-03-29T21:36:17.929-07:00Lexie eating solid foods<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH2J-lhFEq8u40H9Hyy5PL_NPDGqkPsvlrQ-Xiu721JOvxt_lklpNnBS9aK9o7IvjPWJRyZVz4CpYIZzjUioRBITPxvOQdAN-Fy2Ms_pVPT-sc0IDiblkbHqHrd6ZGs1l-8FjbdNhytyun/s1600/IMG_2011.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589726140057912338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH2J-lhFEq8u40H9Hyy5PL_NPDGqkPsvlrQ-Xiu721JOvxt_lklpNnBS9aK9o7IvjPWJRyZVz4CpYIZzjUioRBITPxvOQdAN-Fy2Ms_pVPT-sc0IDiblkbHqHrd6ZGs1l-8FjbdNhytyun/s320/IMG_2011.JPG" /></a> Here is a picture of my cute baby eating solids when I am not giving it to her fast enough she grabs the spoon and shovels it in.</div><br /><div align="center">My baby girl is getting so big. She is 6 1/2 months old now. We sure love her. She always has a big smile on her face. Since she is finally better and over her cold and fever we decided it was time to try feeding her solids again. We started them a few weeks ago and she was kind of cranky with being sick and the whole moving thing just kind of ruined her routine. Now we are settled somewhat so we tried giving her some rice cereal which so loved. We always add apple juice to it instead of water to give it more flavor. We also started her on peaches today. She just absolutely loves them. We couldn't get each spoonful to her mouth fast enough. She would grunt or grab the spoon from me when I wasn't going fast enough, it was really cute!! </div>robynatwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05017460681329814173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217073730135771448.post-22185706851238746732011-02-16T23:37:00.003-08:002011-03-29T21:59:41.245-07:00Riley's fear of fliesSo yesterday I was watching something on TV and Riley was playing on the floor with Mr. Potatoe head. There was a paper close by and a fly started to crawl on the paper and he started watching it. Then it started flying around and Riley started freaking out, I meaning literally freaking out. He was running all around screaming ducking down as the fly flew around, layed on the ground and was kicking and screaming for me to get the fly. Then he wanted me to kill the fly and of course I can't find the fly swatter. Finally it landed and I was able to pick it up and I just threw it outside. Anyways for the rest of the day he was just terrified, even if he saw a piece of black fuzz he thought it was a fly and he would start his screaming terrifying fit again. I had to show him that it was fuzz and that there were not any flies. It was ridiculous, it got to the point where he was too afraid to walk on the carpet (cuz that is where the fly was when he first saw it). Our kichen has half tile floor and half carpet (I know, that sucks) and he would stay on the tile, he would want one of us to carry him across the carpet if he needed to go there and once he was at the couch he thought he was safe. We also have this rug that is colorful and we put it under his chair when he eats because where out table is has carpet. The rug has some black in it and he thought the black spots were flies and he was screaming wanting me to kill the flies and he wanted the carpet moved and oh my goodness it was frustrating but hilarious at the same time. This went on for about 8 hours (that was too long). So finally I had a talk with him and told him that flies are nice, that they are our friends lol! I told him he can say hi to the flies and they won't hurt him. I told him they like to fly around like birds or butterflies and those don't hurt us either. Anyways today, as I am busy doing some housework he starts thinking he sees flies again and is screaming and crying "Mommy kill the flies!" I kind of ignored him then I heard him say, "Hi fly!" "Happy Fly." "Nice fly." "Follow the prophet fly!" LOL, not sure why he told the fly to follow the prophet but it was funny. Then he starts singing ABC's, Follow the Prophet, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star etc. I don't know if he actually saw any flies at all but I thought this was cute and funny. Yes he is still afraid of flies when he sees one or if he sees fluff or fuzz that is black. You think he would be afraid of bees or wasps cuz they could actually sting you but no he is afraid of flies. I hope he gets over this quick otherwise we will not be going out much all summer. Jesse was going to take him to a basketball game tonight but we thought maybe Riley should stay home, I am sure Jesse would be quite embarassed if Riley started a screaming fit if he saw a fly. Anyways just thought you would all like to hear about this funny fear of his as it is fun to keep record of these funny things before I forget them.robynatwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05017460681329814173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217073730135771448.post-35583483456905202842011-02-16T23:37:00.001-08:002011-03-29T22:13:58.476-07:00The second move!!So for those of you that don't know we have moved again. This is our second move in 5 1/2 months. We moved from Sherwood Park to Stirling (hoping we could live there for longer than 4 1/2 months) and then we moved from Stirling to Lethbridge. We moved January 29. It was a rough week because both of my kids were sick with fevers and colds. Poor Lexie had such a bad cold and wasn't wanting to eat anything. She also didn't ever want to be put down, she wanted me to hold her every second. She would just cry and cry which made it hard to get everything packed. We managed with the help of some ward members and family. My mom took the kids Fri-Sun. Jesse and I with the help of his parents were able to get the whole house packed up in a day and a half. They packed the whole kitchen which I was dreading (that is always the worst thing to pack and unpack). Jesse went to the house in Lethbridge with the truck full of our stuff and I stayed to clean everything with some relief society sisters. When Jesse came back everything as out of the house we just did one final walk thru to make sure we had everything. We packed up the cleaning stuff and as he backed the van out it started leaking transmission fluid AGAIN!! (this is the 3rd time in two months). So we couldn't go anywhere!!! We were stranded in Stirling in an empty house!! I was soooo not impressed!!! I was already not impressed that it was -30 degrees and snowing on and off and to have this happen on top of that just made me angry. We were finally able to reach my dad to came and took us to Lethbridge. That night we went out to Earls to eat, and enjoyed a nice night out without kids which we don't get that often and I think that was the first time getting out without either kid since before Lexie was born (I know sad considering she is 6 1/2 months). We are happy to be in Lethbridge instead of Stirling, it is more convenient and now we will save money on gas. Jesse is so happy to not have to do that drive on the highway in bad weather and I feel better knowing that he doesn't have to. Hopefully we will live in this house longer than a year (Riley has celebrated his birth and each of his birthday's in a different house), unless we magically have enough money to buy a house before then which would be nice but I doubt it. Thanks for reading my rambling, hope you enjoy!robynatwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05017460681329814173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217073730135771448.post-79448033780004273432011-01-01T22:59:00.001-08:002011-02-16T23:36:06.031-08:00Happy New Year!!!!!<div align="left">I know this is a bit late but better late than never. I always like to do a recap of the year around Christmas and New Years just to let all my friends and family that I don't see very often to know how we are doing and what is going on in our lives.</div><br />This was kind of a crazy year for us. It was busy with Jesse being in school for his last semester, me being pregnant and having lots of doctors appointments, me having gestational diabetes, being blessed with the birth of Lexie, Riley becoming a big brother, and having to deal with him not having all the attention all the time, Jesse getting a new job, moving to Stirling, and then hearing that we have to move again after only living there for 4 1/2 months. There was lots and lots of stress this year so we are very glad to have this year over and to see what exciting things 2011 has in store for us.<br /><br />Jesse finished his last semester of school at Nait in the Landscape Architecture program. He graduated in May. He worked for Classic Landscapes at the tree farm during the spring and summer while trying to find a job. He wanted to find a job in Edmonton or Sherwood Park because we had just moved to Sherwood Park in the summer of 2009 and we really really loved it there, but things don't always go as planned. Jesse had done a work week in Lethbridge for school in the fall of 2009 at Stantec. Well, the boss there contacted Jesse in June and asked if he was still looking for a job. Jesse went for an interview at Stantec in Lethbridge in July. They offered him a job during the interview. It had full benefits and paid more than any job in his field in Edmonton or Calgary. He took the job and we ended up moving to Stirling in September. We lived with Tammy and Craig for 3 weeks until we found a place since we weren't able to find something earlier (I was very pregnant and ready to have Lexie anyday). We moved into a beautiful house in Stirling only to learn 2 months later that they sold the house and now we have to be out the end of January:( So we are busy now preparing for yet another move. Good thing it is only to Lethbridge and we were able to find a place very quickly. Jesse is happy to be closer to work and not have to make the 25 minute drive or more (in winter) anymore.<br /><br />I spent half of the year pregnant. It was a good pregnancy. I wasn't sick this time around at all. Riley kept me on my toes!! I had gestational diabetes again but managed it well and had a very good labor and delivery. I had been worried all year about being huge in the hot summer and how uncomfortable that would be but wasn't even really hot all summer. It was probably the coldest summer I can remember with lots of rain. We did do some fun things with Riley before Lexie was born like going to spray parks, taking him swimming, taking him to WestEd on the rides, and to the Edmonton Zoo. On July 26 we were blessed with the birth of our beautiful baby girl Lexie Kaye. We love her sooo much. She is such a good baby!!<br /><br />Riley has grown us so much this last year. He has had kind of a hard year, becoming a big brother for the first time, moving (and we will be moving again this month). He enjoys playing at the park, swimming, playing with trains, going to Stay and Play and playing with other kids, helping me cook and prepare food, going for walks (he misses our old house for that, there were so many trails around to go for walks and he loved walking around our townhouse complex), reading stories, eating treats, singing songs, giving Lexie hugs and kisses, doing puzzles, and playing Baseball on the Wii! When Lexie was born he was really upset for a few months, having numerous tantrums, and trying to get us to get rid of Lexie (he kept taking her diapers, blankets and carrier seat by the front door). Then we moved so it got even worse. He didn't get to see any of his little friends anymore, or go to any of his favorite places. He is doing MUCH better now and really really loves his little sister. He likes to play with her and make her laugh. He is always giving her kisses and likes to help me pick out her socks and shoes everyday. One awesome thing that has happened at the end of 2010 to Riley is he finally started talking!!! Wahoo!! He said nothing except 'mommy' and 'daddy' until Lexie was born and then he started saying 'baby." He made a few animal sounds when he would see certain animals at the zoo but he never said anything ever until then. I was kind of worried. Then around the middle of October just before Halloween he started saying a few words. Then in November he was saying more and more words and telling us what shapes and colors things were (don't remember teaching him those), then in December he started counting to 10, telling us the name of animals what color they were and what sound they made, as well as naming cars, trucks, etc. So he is doing really well, so I can stop worrying lol!! It makes life a lot easier when he can tell me what he wants to eat and drink and what things are etc.<br /><br />Lexie is such a sweet little baby. We love her. She has changed so much already in such a short time. She is 5 months old now. She now sleeps 10-12 hours at night. She smiles like crazy and loves to watch her big brother play. He comes and lays beside her while she lays and plays on her playmat, it's so sweet. She takes a bottle no problem which makes life a lot easier (Riley wouldn't take a bottle at all until he was 9 months old). She is just starting to laugh and grab toys to play with and of course everything she grabs goes in the mouth.<br /><br />We had a good Christmas, we went to my parents house for a yummy steak dinner on Christmas Eve. We spent Christmas at our house with our kids and nobody else. For the first time since we have been married, we haven't had to pack up the van full of Christmas gifts and other luggage. Riley was really excited for Santa to come. He had been asking for about 10 days everyday if Santa was coming that night!! He got a kitchen from Santa and he was also very excited about his train set!! He loves trains and was so exited when he open it. He had a big smile on his face and was jumping up and down. Lexie got a few baby toys, teething rings, baby food (time to start solids soon), and a play table with lots of fun toys on it.<br /><br />We spent the rest of Christmas at Jesse's sister Tammy's house for Christmas dinner and then headed to Bow Island to see his parents who just got home from their mission (Vancouver Canada Mission). They reported their mission on the 26th and so we went to hear them speak. We also had a little dinner at the church after and they had a little fireside with just the family to tell us all experiences from their mission. It was fun for the whole family (48 of us now) to all get together. It doesn't happen very often. We had a good time and then that night 32 of us stayed at his parents house. It was a little crazy but we all had fun playing games and visiting. We went home to Stirling and then to my parents house for New Years. That pretty much sums up our year!!<br /><br />Thanks for reading!! Sorry it was soooooo long winded!! It is more for me so I can have it for a record. All the best to you all in 2011!!!!<br /><br /><div align="center">Here are some fun photos of the year!!</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCDIIMRLRazOE9FZuLL5VFmOW9zITMUXPXDQhrf3_3vKLUHSMTHOhoFRQmzS-uPG2LTY9cfjrwASkrFmaPg1NnPvBYXrOPTeOPvn0pu23Gi_myEEEdpKaO9GxyR3lxsBasBugX6BSx32yE/s1600/IMG_0953.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

It was a good day and lots of family came. My parents were there as well as my sister Becky and brother Jon. Jesse's brother Doug and family were there as well as Tammy, Leon, Nancy and their families. We didn't have a big dinner with the family to celebrate which I still feel bad for but we couldn't because we just moved down here from Sherwood Park and didn't have a place of our own yet (we are living with Tammy) and couldn't really afford to feed that many people or have a place to feed that many people. We wanted to wait until we found a house and knew what ward we were in before we blessed her but we didn't know how long that would be.

We moved almost a month ago and so many things happened all summer long before and after Lexie was born and I just haven't had the time or energy due to lack of sleep to keep writing frequent updates. So here is the update of the month.<br />Way back in July on the 12th, Jesse had a job interview in Lethbridge at Stantec. He did his work week there for school last year. Anyways he went and I was freaking out the whole time in my mind thinking "oh no, now we are going to have to move." I had that feeling over and over in my head before he even had his interview that we were going to have to move and if we did I was hoping it would be in the new future like November or sometime next year like April. Well my feelings were right about him getting offered the job and us eventally moving. I was wrong about when we would move. So Jesse calls me up from Lethbridge and tells me that he was offered the job and that they wanted him to start on August 3. So I was kind freaking out because our baby was due on July 30 and at that point we didn't know what day we would have her. Anyways they sent him the offer and they wanted him to reply and accept the offer my Thurs, they gave him the offer on Monday. Of course my stress level went way up, I was relieved that he would have a job and that we would be closer to family but at the same time I was upset because I didn't want to move and leave all my good friends and community of Sherwood Park, also I didn't want to move that soon after having a baby. Jesse took the job and because of our situation with the baby, they were willing to move his start date back to Sept 7. We were so grateful for that. We really miss our neighborhood and friends in Sherwood Park but are happy to finally have the move over with.<br />Moving day was great!!! We had lots and lots of people from our ward help load all the stuff into a trailer and a truck (ya we have lots of crap). People also helped us clean, which I am so grateful for, I was wondering how I would get everything done being that I just had Lexie and was still feeding her every 1-2 hours.<br />Also for those of you that don't know, the move gets even more interesting in that when we gave our notice to move out in Sherwood Park, we didn't know where we were moving to (which house or what area of Lethbridge). We couldn't even go down and look because I was due to have Lexie soon. So we moved all our stuff down and stored some of it in an empty house my my aunt Wendy Nish's house. We stayed with Tammy (Jesse's sister and her family) while we looked for something. There was nothing in Lethbridge. Everything was soooo small, or run down, had no yard, was soooo expensive or was in a scary neighborhood. We didn't know what we were going to do and were getting so annoyed of not having all of our stuff and all 4 of us being squished in one room. We finally found someone renting out their new house in Stirling. At first Jesse and I did not want to be in Stirling. Let me tell you, it is a slower pace of life as compared to the city. I am having a hard time with the change and I am not sure why, maybe just because I lived in Edmonton for 7 years and just appreciated all the conveniences of living in the city, and there is more stuff to do. I also miss my mom and tots group I went to and all the kids for Riley to play with. With time I am sure I will eventually like it out here.<br /><br />Here are some pictures of our summer before Lexie was born. Time has gone by soo fast!!<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAuY1iPRP5iZ2gCxYu3wfl3FYfHcEInU2aGm6x9yP1GR-9BoR2jV2eS1nDmcfNZ-Sjxu3X1QdBV1RJl7qyEhjnTkPBpH9Fa-1bS9rT2-vmSvppvB5eBKilvQwjz-Iqr-CCwLFhvrL8v7Vc/s1600/IMG_0071.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527627469144780194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAuY1iPRP5iZ2gCxYu3wfl3FYfHcEInU2aGm6x9yP1GR-9BoR2jV2eS1nDmcfNZ-Sjxu3X1QdBV1RJl7qyEhjnTkPBpH9Fa-1bS9rT2-vmSvppvB5eBKilvQwjz-Iqr-CCwLFhvrL8v7Vc/s320/IMG_0071.JPG" /></a> Riley and I the day before Lexie was born!</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK04OHn7WuQ_UFLJCGMFr3nwxnQ00A8XxHSf-lOX4legDCsaDHuRKiScYKRwP8MILtgEIa7vElKWTeTRnKdTH8LWmbdevBX2IfPdMEpktFtGCXGDLY92UqfL2czaZv0YiEzcvFXlpcOIEU/s1600/IMG_0063.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527627097341463474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK04OHn7WuQ_UFLJCGMFr3nwxnQ00A8XxHSf-lOX4legDCsaDHuRKiScYKRwP8MILtgEIa7vElKWTeTRnKdTH8LWmbdevBX2IfPdMEpktFtGCXGDLY92UqfL2czaZv0YiEzcvFXlpcOIEU/s320/IMG_0063.JPG" /></a>Trying to get a picture of Riley and I at the Spray Park in St. Albert.

We have just been so busy preparing to move and adjusting to having 2 kids. I have just been sooo busy I haven't gotten around to blogging.</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">Lexie Kaye Atwood joined our little family on July 26, 2010 at 8:50pm. She was 7lbs 6oz and 21.5 inches. She is such a beautiful little girl with wild hair. We love her soo much!</div><br /><div align="center">The delivery went really really good. I wasn't as big this time. I was induced again because I once again had gestational diabetes. </div><br /><div align="center">My parents came up to stay with Riley. I was induced at 8:30am that day with a cervidil insert. After about 45 minutes I started feeling cramps which they called tightenings. They got stronger by the time my two hours were up (I had to stay at the hospital for 2 hours after they put the cervidil in so they could monitor me). The nurses told me to go to the mall and walk around for awhile to see if the cramps would feel better and by walking that would help my contractions to start. Also we needed to go to the pharmacy so I could get a new insulin pen which was kind of a waste because I only needed it for one more meal. So Jesse and I walked around the Millwoods Mall. My butt started hurting so bad. I felt this cramping in my right butt cheek which was weird! I never felt that kind of pain when I was having Riley. I didn't feel any contractions or anything so after we got my insulin pen and had lunch we went home at around 1pm. From about 1-3pm I felt contractions on and off but they weren't regular. I wasn't even sure if they were contractions or not because last time my labor pain was all in my back but the pain got strong enough that we finally decided to time my contractions. They were coming every 2-3 minutes. That was closer together than last time so I was a little worried. We headed back to the hospital around 3:30pm. I was only 3cm dilated when we got there so I just had to lay on a bed and wait for things to get moving. A few hours later I had dilated to 4cm and I got my epidural (blessed invention). I actually had a little nap this time and so did Jesse I was still only 4cm even a few hours later. I woke up at around 8:30 pm and I had a strong pain in my butt cheeks. It hurt sooooooooo bad. Then it felt like I peed my pants which the nurse checked and told me my water broke. She wasn't sure why I was in so much pain so Dr. McCubbin came and checked me and said it was because I was 10cm and ready to push. It went crazy fast. Jesse and I couldn't believe it. We both just woke up and then 15 minutes later Lexie was born. I felt more of it this time and it hurt way worse than last time but I was happy to experience it and it was totally worth it. </div><br /><div align="center">I named Riley so Jesse had said he wanted to name her. We both didn't know what to name her when she was born. When the nurse handed her to Jesse she said he thought we should name her Malea. I kept asking him if he was sure that he wanted that to be her name and he said he thought so. When they moved us into another room and after she was cleaned off, Jesse looked at her a little more and decided she looked more like a Lexie. To make it even more special is that Lexie is my Grandma McMurray's name. Her middle name is Kaye which is my mom's middle name and Jesse had a lady from his ward that was like a Grandma to him and her name was Kay as well.</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHdBOO-UgD6CvwXvXFgrH7XLlmPT5Xof0TIhxazxLFwORQL5BU5ZwO3wrKILOFEZsXYDS7tvnw1tLzPrv2qshyphenhyphenB8RzTxgrnTwDW8LuyxKds2ofMdtV09bW7rwdaryFDsMK2ASu2q-tVsIJ/s1600/IMG_1434.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508435429198713202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHdBOO-UgD6CvwXvXFgrH7XLlmPT5Xof0TIhxazxLFwORQL5BU5ZwO3wrKILOFEZsXYDS7tvnw1tLzPrv2qshyphenhyphenB8RzTxgrnTwDW8LuyxKds2ofMdtV09bW7rwdaryFDsMK2ASu2q-tVsIJ/s320/IMG_1434.JPG" /></a> Right before I was induced<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixTNu432SeQE_y1nhOAxCak4yrgg_cWs2oY2e63JvwfPGKGvOQ6Y1Icm9j2Bf0loe_b58wH8286d2oqDzjuxdp12hf_M6AM5v-OOm4K2lL3cc339Ogt17u9uD8tCb8M2VrTHz5zXUInnyE/s1600/IMG_1442.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508434721465143538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixTNu432SeQE_y1nhOAxCak4yrgg_cWs2oY2e63JvwfPGKGvOQ6Y1Icm9j2Bf0loe_b58wH8286d2oqDzjuxdp12hf_M6AM5v-OOm4K2lL3cc339Ogt17u9uD8tCb8M2VrTHz5zXUInnyE/s320/IMG_1442.JPG" /></a>Lexie minutes after she was born!

I will be 36 weeks pregnant this Friday!!! Time has gone by insanely fast. It seems like just yesterday I went for my 20 week ultrasound and then it also feels like yesterday I took a test to find out I was pregnant which was actually on my birthday that I found out (Nov 26). This baby will be here before we know it. We are very excited and a little nervous about how the 2 kid thing will be (sometimes I have a hard enough time keeping track of 1 kid). It will be so nice for Riley to have a little playmate. We have told him about the baby and that he will be a big brother but I don't think he really understands what that is all about yet. He is starting to say baby whenever he sees a picture of a baby in one of his books so I am sure he knows what a baby is he is just not sure how it will be living with a baby but will find out soon.</div><br /><div align="center">This month it finally stopped raining!! Jesse is finally getting some hours at work. It was so annoying when he would work like 3-4 hours a day and sometimes he wouldn't even work because it was so wet. He has been trying to find a job as a landscape technologist (what he went to school for) not as a landscaper, there is a big difference. Some people think all he does is landscaping which he does now but a technologist make more money and they don't have to be out in the hot sun doing all the hard manual labour. They do the designs and then other people are hired to do all the hard work.</div><br /><div align="center">I am in my final month of pregnancy with just over 4 weeks left. I feel great!!

He always gets these same things out every day and pretends he is making something. He stirs his pretend food in the measuring cups and pots and pretends to pour food from the cans.

He has finally started saying some animal sounds. He knows what the sounds a horse, monkey, snake, lion, sheep, cow, duck, and tiger make. For a cow he thinks it says booo instead of mooo! A horse to him says Kneee instead of neigh. For the longest time when he would say a cow or horse sound we had no idea he was trying to make the same sound they make. It's so cute. Now if we could just get him to talk. He doesn't say much at all except for those animal sounds, mum, dad, no, he can kind of say baby. That is pretty much all though so I hope he talks soon. I am not sure if I should be worried that he isn't really talking or not. Anyone have any suggestions????</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div><p align="center">Riley also loves going for walks, he could walk all night all over the Co-op (our housing complex) if we let him. He loves to walk, he will hardly go in a stroller or wagon when we go for walks. He loves blowing bubbles which can last for hours some days ( need to get a bubble machine), he loves sidewalk chalk and playing with his climber and water table. He loves the outdoors so much that it makes me wonder what we did all winter lol!! I will try and get some good pictures of him playing in the yard before I have this baby as not much will get taken for awhile after that. That is my update, I have more to update about the first part of July but will once I can upload pictures!!</p>robynatwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05017460681329814173noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217073730135771448.post-10434494851434313922010-06-13T21:48:00.000-07:002010-06-13T22:43:58.834-07:00Catching up March!!<div align="center">I feel like I am always catching up on things especially my blogs. Life just gets so busy as I am sure you all know. I realized I hadn't posted any pictures of Riley in March. He was 23 months old so almost 2. The terrible twos had already started by this month and had been going on for a few months. This month I had just started my 5th month of pregnancy. I finally started showing a little bit. It took me forever to show this time. When I was pregnant with Riley I started showing right away at like barely 4 months. I wasn't really big but I am starting to get that way now. I feel good, not sick this time which is great!! Riley kind of wears me out though but I love him.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">This month Riley:</div><div align="center">-Started showing interest in helping with the dishes. Jesse started having him help unload the dishwasher. I have mixed feelings about this, it is good that he is learning how to empty the dishwasher but not good at the same time because now he always wants to empty the dishwasher even when the dishes in it are not clean yet. He doesn't understand that the dishes are dirty and need to be clean first, he just thinks we can put them in there and then take them out right after to put them away LOL!!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">-I had never really been brave enough to let him make cookies with me until around this time. Jesse and I did this with him for family home evening one night. He absolutely loved it!! We would fill the measuring cups or spoons full of the ingredients and would have him dump them. He kept wanting to do it again and again and was rather disappointed when there was nothing else for him to dump into the bowl. His wasn't disappointed for long though because we showed him how to turn on the kitchen aid so that it would mix everything up and he thought that was the coolest thing ever, he kept turning it off and on over and over again.

Today is Riley's Birthday!! I can't believe he is 2 years old already!! I feel like I was just in the delivery room waiting for him to be born. He had a good birthday. My parents were able to come up to celebrate with us. He knows them as Nana and Papa. Uncle Lloyd came as well, the rest of his family couldn't make it. We had a BBQ with burgers and hotdogs, chips and strawberry lemonade. My favorite was his cake.<br />He is really into sports especially basketball lately so we made him a basketball cake. The sad thing is he didn't want to eat any of it, ever. He was not interested! He was very facinated with the candles and the sparkly candle but did not care for the cake. Now I am thinking we should have made him cupcakes and made them basketball cupcakes then he probably would have eaten them. We had kind of a sports theme for his birthday party. He got a jungle gym climber with a slide, basketball hoop and some sports balls (basketball, soccerball, and football), he got a T-ball set that can also be used to play golf with. He loves it! Nana and Papa got him some clothes, lots of clothes for summer (PJ's, t-shirts and shorts). Uncle Lloyd and Family got him a Mr. potato head which he really loves playing with. I thought this birthday would be different than his last in that he would really enjoy opening his presents. He did not!! He screamed and cried the whole time!! He kept wanting to go climb on the table that had a nice colorful birthday table cloth, and as most 2 year olds, he didn't like to sit still for a minute to open a gift. He half opened one and then was done with it. We tried holding him there to open the rest of his gifts and this is what we got!!</p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470250439998660434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih-nD794JhTcmoVqvHeIOjflmwYDzX_9O-LamE_DprwiqbMBE1m-6MicIqLvznUoGXLb-6x5oQ8vcljIqr5RiSh_67bS7nSIlFAjLl2WMivB0-ekXqjE8ysgX24dxrHCJ7psOBnCO211de/s320/IMG_1189.JPG" /> <p align="center">He was so mad, not sure why, most kids love opening presents, hopefully one day he will!!<br /></p><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqJ22IbEm0iowCdRjB_UiRGFdKOYaF6PQaF7Aub2Wx7IUlRvQzmW6IdrBmtf7fzad9datHBAdrm5wJ6MpB3essHK8zhugTy5VaLI0oJRXciUstYrz4KDMLvRE_u2RRTd4IEK_-TuBkOTt1/s1600/IMG_1191.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

I know this is late but this is what happens when you are gone for 2 1/2 weeks and then have a week before your husband goes back to school. I just thought I would write a little New Year letter letting you all know what we have been up too for the past year. We are so happy that the year 2010 is here, 2009 was a stressful year, we were very happy to see it go and are happy to start fresh again. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><strong>An update on 2009:</strong></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Just before the New Year our basement suite flooded right before Christmas. So we spent the New Year (2009) frantically trying to move into another place, another basement suite. I was not too impressed about this because I hate basement suites but we had 3 days to be completely out of our flooded basement and that was the only thing we could find in that short amont of time. It was smaller than what we lived in before but just temporary until we could find something else. It was -30 degrees when we moved to and Jesse and I did most of it all ourselves cuz everyone was too busy with Christmas and New Years plans to help. We managed and moved in, we had stayed with Jesse's brother Lloyd while we were moving. Even though it sucked at the time it was a blessing in disguise. We were able to get a sweet King size bed as well as some other things with the money we claimed from insurance.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">In February Jesse had surgery on a hernia. He was not able to lift anything over 10 pounds for 6 weeks. It took him a few weeks before he could walk normally. Riley also decided at that time that he was going to learn how to crawl, pull himself to a standing postition, climb things and get into things at that time. So I was very busy and very happy when Jesse was able to pick him up and play with him again.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Riley also turned one in April. He had a good brithday. Both his grandparents and some friends were able to be there. We went swimming, made pizza, and had a wonderful cupcake cake which is the first cake Jesse and I had ever cooked and icinged. It was a teddy bear holding balloons.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">In May my sister Julie got married. She got married in Utah and we were able to go down for her wedding. Riley wasn't walking yet so that was kind of a relief because it was a super long ride for him. Baby Einstein saved us and he was happy the whole trip.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">In June we moved again, this time to Sherwood Park into the Brittany Lane Housing Co-op. We had applied for this almost a year back and were so happy to get in. We have some good neighbours. We have more space. Riley finally graduated from having to bath in the sink to having a bathtub which we were super excited about. We bought him some tub toys to celebrate. We also have a basement to store stuff which is awesome. There is also subsidy here so we will be able to save lots of money while Jesse is a student.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">We had a good summer, many trips to the spray parks and millenium place (pool in Sherwood Park). Riley took a tiny tots swimming class. We also went to Capital Ex and Riley had his first experience riding some rides. His favorite was the Merry Go Round and it still is. We were also able to go to the Zoo both in Edmonton and Calgary, Riley rode a pony at the zoo in Edmonton,as well as go on a 4 day camping trip to Aspen Beach, which was so fun. Riley loved the beach and playing in the sand. There were also countless walks and daily trips to the park, and playing in the yard. We also had a huge tornado like storm that broke our canopy in our yard and left our poor babysitter whithout power for a few hours. We didn't think to show here where some candles or a flashlight was.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">We had a nice fall. It was as warm as summer some days. We went to the park many times. Jesse started school again. Riley dressed up as a pumpkin for Halloween, Jesse a vampire, and me a witch. The weather was perfect. We got a lot of candy and still have some of the candy. Riley really enjoyed opening the lid of the pumpkin and looking inside.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">We had a warm November and this month kind of sucked. Jesse got the good old H1N1 flu. It sucked. He felt normal the day it hit. Around the afternoon he started feeling aches and pains, a few hours later, he had a nasty cough, bye evening he had a high fever and could hardly move, and had no appetite whatsoever. It just got worse from there. The next night he had a fever of 106.3 and had to go to the flu assessment clinic and hospital where they confirmed he had H1N1. To top that off a week later he had pnemonia added to the H1N1. He had to miss over a week of school. Got so behind. We are just lucky that Riley and I did not get it. It could be because I was a germ freak and used lysol around the house all day long wiping everything down constantly. I also made Jesse sleep downstairs in the guestbed. We were so lucky though that he recovered well and that the rest if us did not get it. I hope it never comes back!!!</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">December was busy, Jesse had all final projects for school due, we had Christmas shopping, organizing our house, packing for Christmas holidays, Christmas, many parties and dinners, New Years Eve, 2 basketball tournaments to go to where my brother played. We went to my parents house for Christmas. It was fun but Julie could not be there, her papers did not come so she couldn't leave the country (she got married in May and is in Utah), Jon's team won both the Cougar Classic, and Raymond Sugar Bowl High School basketball tournaments!! Go Cougars!!! We had our annual family fondue party, we usually do that Christmas eve but this year we celebrated my Grandma McMurray's 80th birthday!! We did a nativity, and opened gifts. The whole family got basketball jerseys from Grandma and Grandpa. </div><div align="left">For New Years we went to Tammy's house (Jesse's sister) almost everyone from the family was there except for Jesse's parents (they are on a mission) and 2 of his brothers.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Despite how crazy the year was: Moving 2 times, Jesse's Hernia, Jesse getting H1N1, having to go to Utah, we still did have some good times.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Right now Jesse is in his last year of school at Nait in the Landscape Architecture program. He will be done in April and then we have to see where we end up living and doing with the rest of our lives I guess. School keeps him really busy but we are happy to see the end in site soon.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#ffffff;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#ffffff;"></span></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#cc0000;">I am busy being a stay at home mom. I play with Riley all day long and try and get a nap every now and then because he is so busy and really wears me out some days. I also try and find some time to read, scrapbook, go on facebook to stay connected with friends, and clean my house.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#cc0000;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#cc0000;"></span></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#3333ff;">Riley is a very busy boy. We love him so much. He has changed so much in a year. Last year he learned how to crawl, walk, say a few words, eat real food, and play with big boy toys. It is crazy how fast he is growing up. He is 21 months old now. He goes to nursery and loves it. He still likes watching his Baby Einstein shows, doing puzzles, looking at books, playing with my oven mits, emptying cupboards and book shelves, playing with shape shorter toys and his recent favorite is playing basketball with his dad with Rileys basketball hoop.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div align="left"><span style="color:#3333ff;">Happy New Year Everyone!!!

He is in a wild stage right now always running everywhere, getting into everything and climbing things. This will be an interesting summer!! I feel great, it has been soooooo different compared to my last pregnancy. I have felt a bit nautious but haven't puked 6-7 times a day like last time. I feel more tired though probably because Riley wears me out but it has been good so far. I am hoping this time I won't have gestational diabetes, but we'll see. </span></div></div></div></div>robynatwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05017460681329814173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217073730135771448.post-4039223047428126662010-01-10T21:08:00.000-08:002010-01-10T22:08:35.009-08:00The rest of 2009<div align="center">Riley's haircut</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI4mw1e7PfThdIMxtZE857koZDV1-jGwGdS81ntxUs8dPpzLiTPHgre5eMxg1uBDxPtjGGAwWP_VtQDw2H4o-D8Ogtcy62pioDR7kDjRdst4lOMFj-c19w6GI_GAiyRtz2i5SOHEF2yU1X/s1600-h/IMG_0911.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425355283651688274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI4mw1e7PfThdIMxtZE857koZDV1-jGwGdS81ntxUs8dPpzLiTPHgre5eMxg1uBDxPtjGGAwWP_VtQDw2H4o-D8Ogtcy62pioDR7kDjRdst4lOMFj-c19w6GI_GAiyRtz2i5SOHEF2yU1X/s320/IMG_0911.JPG" /></a> Riley was growing a mullet, as some people were telling us. He has some funny hockey hair going on so we decided it was time for a haircut. We hadn't cut it since July. He was really not impressed during the whole procedure. I wish we could have gotten some pictures or a video recording of the struggle it was but I had to hold him down and Jesse was cutting his hair with the haircutting clippers so we didn't have anyone available for to take pictures. Too bad though, it was a classic fit let me tell ya!

Well I would have posted them earlier but November was just a crazy crazy month!!! Plus my computer has been extremely slow lately at uploading pictures and I was busy and just didn't have the patience to wait for them. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">This Halloween Riley was 18 months old. He was a cute little pumpkin. He didn't like us holding him still to put his costume on but once it was on he was ok with it. The hat was a little big and he didn't like it that much. We thought he would only last for a couple of houses but he started getting excited and loved seeing people drop candies in his bag. He got lots of candy and we only went out for about 45 minutes. Jesse dressed up as a vampire. We found that costume last minute at Walmart for only $6. I was a witch!! I seem to be that every year, maybe next year I will be something else otherwise a witch is all anyone will ever see me as lol! We had a good time though and the weather really cooperated well. Every Halloween it is usually cold and snowy but we were lucky for once this year.</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyx_ZHVjQBT_-ynXbmOGAZ0F9kbpF4rXOr0cGIsjfrGQFveHQBCNoYRuA1kULSh5r_i7OgGviPQyrl0VRgRPZ0zhUwaQI6jYKieJvQygqsP8mlfTMT5UGg0eY07PHKGHPfMPQQ6tQwea-U/s1600-h/IMG_0790.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412735471853256946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyx_ZHVjQBT_-ynXbmOGAZ0F9kbpF4rXOr0cGIsjfrGQFveHQBCNoYRuA1kULSh5r_i7OgGviPQyrl0VRgRPZ0zhUwaQI6jYKieJvQygqsP8mlfTMT5UGg0eY07PHKGHPfMPQQ6tQwea-U/s320/IMG_0790.JPG" /></a> My cute pumpkin</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi16zUdp8vkb3EW6GZIBJ06LnK6yrO386Z6yHeRfQlyvRToKrkvW1-ZzZkksB_ARaDeODMOGs-dT6St_iMKzZ170Fk_vO7DkfDZJCgTCpXO6Fp0_tm_nRl4HGt16ZT81L29D7Fd3qk9sJ5X/s1600-h/IMG_0788.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412735268545146146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi16zUdp8vkb3EW6GZIBJ06LnK6yrO386Z6yHeRfQlyvRToKrkvW1-ZzZkksB_ARaDeODMOGs-dT6St_iMKzZ170Fk_vO7DkfDZJCgTCpXO6Fp0_tm_nRl4HGt16ZT81L29D7Fd3qk9sJ5X/s320/IMG_0788.JPG" /></a>Riley and Daddy<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcwjo1CHBL_zHOwPhzblzkb2sSB-ouORMzmnjGGa-O9Ybk7_LKfT_nKrBb9zdv5wLRPgivBxH-7TXwaNis4uRKk-jrndOzb9sgj3xqMkz9C-NTR7X_C75WMOInkz0hQJvKLIjIG8Oygp-0/s1600-h/IMG_0793.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412734909977941138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcwjo1CHBL_zHOwPhzblzkb2sSB-ouORMzmnjGGa-O9Ybk7_LKfT_nKrBb9zdv5wLRPgivBxH-7TXwaNis4uRKk-jrndOzb9sgj3xqMkz9C-NTR7X_C75WMOInkz0hQJvKLIjIG8Oygp-0/s320/IMG_0793.JPG" /></a>Riley and Mommy<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVssJQUt3DNsm-M2uJwTL02oeGBkuRsUt-jcHLtu1JvTkZml9HKyBxh6SEhweNOaTjbyYsN8wEBcra8i7Hf8iAUi63Bt4vEZ5yUEdQXkh8eYmerdGIlk0PiAUsEkRG4oQozt9PrsKx1zlw/s1600-h/IMG_0794.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412734659543854098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVssJQUt3DNsm-M2uJwTL02oeGBkuRsUt-jcHLtu1JvTkZml9HKyBxh6SEhweNOaTjbyYsN8wEBcra8i7Hf8iAUi63Bt4vEZ5yUEdQXkh8eYmerdGIlk0PiAUsEkRG4oQozt9PrsKx1zlw/s320/IMG_0794.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgps6C1n34Fo_rRJo1PbvE0j4Kc8yTBQQBSjo_qZgy0XWbiuRzpN2v1LiIm7Vq-zLhgPst3bchugIK8F_cuR23O1jpdUzBq4epJ5aGjaEzfgGnmAai_diAmC_VCzr6n_Omoj9BQkW4AmsTq/s1600-h/IMG_0799.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412734360550206978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgps6C1n34Fo_rRJo1PbvE0j4Kc8yTBQQBSjo_qZgy0XWbiuRzpN2v1LiIm7Vq-zLhgPst3bchugIK8F_cuR23O1jpdUzBq4epJ5aGjaEzfgGnmAai_diAmC_VCzr6n_Omoj9BQkW4AmsTq/s320/IMG_0799.JPG" /></a>Checking out the pumpkin<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx4lwwX2Xoat83v4LRMNihfw-WEANF4tugM3oy1B8EYeY4cST-Ne_wIiLjDZbDO3nI-zqUybksOcvngK62sqcWtc1h68gVwYX51xLgWL2k332CGk7kfaMRyz_dSiY4W2TfX0V_J9p68QUW/s1600-h/IMG_0802.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412734159533381794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx4lwwX2Xoat83v4LRMNihfw-WEANF4tugM3oy1B8EYeY4cST-Ne_wIiLjDZbDO3nI-zqUybksOcvngK62sqcWtc1h68gVwYX51xLgWL2k332CGk7kfaMRyz_dSiY4W2TfX0V_J9p68QUW/s320/IMG_0802.JPG" /></a></div></div></div><br /></div>robynatwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05017460681329814173noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217073730135771448.post-37757702158027476082009-12-06T21:45:00.001-08:002009-12-06T22:40:15.622-08:00Catching up on my October blogs<div align="center"> </div><div align="center">So I have been really slacking on my blogs lately.

He would be fine playing in there and as soon as we would start washing him or rinsing his hair he would look like this. He would stand up and keep wanting to get out and it took Jesse and I both to wash him and hold him down so he wouldn't get out. We are not quite sure what that was all about. About 2 weeks ago he started liking his bath again and now he gets mad when we take him out. It is weird how one minutes toddlers hate something and then they love it.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnMEMWHJZSLEPFKIWUUq8eyFy9Ylkxvl_EQv7lZMVcuCRGbBRpBIutvzHIRMGxSLMdEHGQRmgFTr-nSfk6am6KN_bNcbtVXM1jFfUk1TiNh6TYh5iGj_lJ2tPNLUEzHAuUN3_7tkpeiHi9/s1600-h/IMG_0781.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412373918902186242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnMEMWHJZSLEPFKIWUUq8eyFy9Ylkxvl_EQv7lZMVcuCRGbBRpBIutvzHIRMGxSLMdEHGQRmgFTr-nSfk6am6KN_bNcbtVXM1jFfUk1TiNh6TYh5iGj_lJ2tPNLUEzHAuUN3_7tkpeiHi9/s320/IMG_0781.JPG" /></a> Making a mess as usual<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0GeMjw8P8UGHpoo42hRmro-vzo9kWjcuy78-h_DARidFyI7rHhe2gtnZl5tfeRy-3G83RZzR9cCgCn_NwAmwTJIpVWgQSaKR0HjJfBQ4PMqPoRGigV4F8NgW27nOLmhBWmKBq23RcgcPt/s1600-h/IMG_0777.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412373601142242450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0GeMjw8P8UGHpoo42hRmro-vzo9kWjcuy78-h_DARidFyI7rHhe2gtnZl5tfeRy-3G83RZzR9cCgCn_NwAmwTJIpVWgQSaKR0HjJfBQ4PMqPoRGigV4F8NgW27nOLmhBWmKBq23RcgcPt/s320/IMG_0777.JPG" /></a>Making a funny face<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrdvAkfsTv1jpBIlkqZbXtwRkKyS7M95SLBXdp7dLJJItSvldnBtSjcuBX5AevSd8H89uY-YM74xo8Dd0xe6Au_c0zizKhYKVR_NW6ZvXj7s0V4xQaclno-ZMngG2kbsoouFM-ioEWMbo1/s1600-h/IMG_0769.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412373200987249410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrdvAkfsTv1jpBIlkqZbXtwRkKyS7M95SLBXdp7dLJJItSvldnBtSjcuBX5AevSd8H89uY-YM74xo8Dd0xe6Au_c0zizKhYKVR_NW6ZvXj7s0V4xQaclno-ZMngG2kbsoouFM-ioEWMbo1/s320/IMG_0769.JPG" /></a> He loves reading books on the stairs, not sure why!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzjL1Z4wG97AjKiPtS3grOxopopSTqiUo8AacJhV70cFhLl8-pN177IIWqmh1aExBsfG6NGSuG4RnioW-sNppWWhNZ9J0PpwaWj9AV1Z14EvuGGP_S80LKOkBiBM3wg0bzPP2j15kbgDKQ/s1600-h/IMG_0764.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412372277154617650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzjL1Z4wG97AjKiPtS3grOxopopSTqiUo8AacJhV70cFhLl8-pN177IIWqmh1aExBsfG6NGSuG4RnioW-sNppWWhNZ9J0PpwaWj9AV1Z14EvuGGP_S80LKOkBiBM3wg0bzPP2j15kbgDKQ/s320/IMG_0764.JPG" /></a>He started opening the dishwasher just over a month ago and would climb in it, start pulling out the cups and dishes and the sharp knives.

He would take a few steps and then around the end of June he was walking but fell alot. Now he runs all over the place, climbs on top of chairs, couches toys, whatever he can.<br />-At the beginning of the summer we used to have to lift him up to go down the slides at the playground. Ever since around the end of August/beginning of September (sometime in there), he has started climbing playground equipment and can go down the slide all by himself. We still have to remind him to hit down sometimes as he gets so excited and then trips. Once forgot to sit down and went headfirst down the slide. He went so fast I didn't have time to catch him. He got a mouth and nose full of sand. He was crunchin on sand for a few hours it was so gross. It didn't help that he had his mouth open when he fell as well.<br />-He loves waterslides, a few months ago he was scared of them.<br />-He doesn't take much, he says Mum, Mama, Dad, Go, Caca (which means cookie), the C sound (which means car).<br />-He loves making sounds with his lips, and tongue and voice. He likes people to copy him when he does this. He thinks it's funny.<br />-He likes to scribble on paper. He has finally learned not to eat the crayons.<br />-He still loves Baby Einstein and has since he was 9 months old.<br />-He thinks it is hilarious when Jesse twirls a couch pillow on his finger!<br />-He loves turning the TV on and off and loves to pack the remotes around the house.<br />-He loves to sweep the floor (I hope he still does when he is a teenager)<br />-He is the most affectionate little boy, he loves to give hugs and kisses and he will kiss anyone who will let him even if he doesn't know that person! It's cute!<br />-He loves swimming<br />-He loves playing with his cars, shape sorter, and basketball hoop.<br />-He loves books, mostly ones that have flaps, or pieces he can take out, or feel.<br />-He loves playing with Mommy's hair.<br />-He no longer takes a bottle and hasn't for almost a month!!<br />-He loves it when Jesse or I sing songs with him. He likes to do the actions to "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, Bringing Home My Baby Bumble Bee, Popcorn Popping, and Zoom Zoom Zoom!"<br /><br />I am sure there are more things that Riley likes or how he has changed but for now that is enough. We love Riley and are having so much fun with him.robynatwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05017460681329814173noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217073730135771448.post-4103532805565937852009-10-16T21:19:00.000-07:002009-10-16T22:23:03.329-07:00Warm September<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibVxpzRIj3hoohWATBzsqhmDNGbXj8vhe-rysxdwoaiqJKzeWWtSH9NZVegizbGgJQjiSWQmVPTyDoHRx1H91OD2NaUEqMmfOoizvF7WtX1i5ke2mV7EMWJB77KIAfD1Qu8InlZhijur-2/s1600-h/IMG_0685.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393432838015893426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibVxpzRIj3hoohWATBzsqhmDNGbXj8vhe-rysxdwoaiqJKzeWWtSH9NZVegizbGgJQjiSWQmVPTyDoHRx1H91OD2NaUEqMmfOoizvF7WtX1i5ke2mV7EMWJB77KIAfD1Qu8InlZhijur-2/s320/IMG_0685.JPG" /></a> Jesse and Daddy at West Edmonton Mall</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br /><div align="center">Well this post is a bit late but oh well, better late than never right? We had an amazing September here in the Edmonton/Sherwood Park area. It was so warm almost everyday of the month with temperatures reaching as high as 34 degrees celcius. It got that hot the first day of fall and a few days after, which is amazing. The warm temperatures even broke some records for this time of year. This month definately wins the prize for nicest month of the year, too bad it took so long and couldn't be like this for the whole summer. Riley and I did some fun things during the day. Who would have ever thought of going to a Spray Park in the middle of September? (I forgot my camera though so I didn't get any pictures).<br /></div><div align="center">Jesse and I also took Riley to the Waterpark at West Edmonton Mall. There is a new splash/spray park that was built for kids. The water was a little cold though. Riley loved going doing the waterslides in that area though with either Jesse or me. He also really likes the kiddie pool and the wave pool.</div><br /><div align="center">Jesse also started school again in September. He has been extremely busy. He did more work the first 2 weeks of school than he did all last Semester. He has been busy with group projects and such. Riley and I hardly see him. Many times he comes home visits with us until after supper and then down to the basement to get his homework done. We can't wait until April when he will be done.

Well we were wrong. When we let him sit up to the table with us he did this!! He thinks his feet need to be on the table. He then pushes off and almost knocks himself over backward in the chair. So I guess he will use his tray a bit longer for safety reasons lol!!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGTgzmFSmyLhqnP0E9PFhfNUtP4FNDloC4Weox_b3YGX8FjhSlTO_aI9OenzsZ1XMVkSWmjEuJ6LA9uAibuu3R9V28HY5p5JKXgCU8YOvKmZwCJ2BUG1fmJ36hEFDGgjLjznI22QujoSNN/s1600-h/IMG_0654.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393426477981967394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGTgzmFSmyLhqnP0E9PFhfNUtP4FNDloC4Weox_b3YGX8FjhSlTO_aI9OenzsZ1XMVkSWmjEuJ6LA9uAibuu3R9V28HY5p5JKXgCU8YOvKmZwCJ2BUG1fmJ36hEFDGgjLjznI22QujoSNN/s320/IMG_0654.JPG" /></a>Playing in the sand, he does this for a few minutes after each time he goes down the slide.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm2grLlHkTPdVrmLP6vOQvZyd3A9_ZtdGyJsH8nqMNeIQJXstidl7AoseMV8HcyRM5xXxyXeWcBFHPTMalZKIG2sYxJqgSQgBGK3wfnqBR-qMuzOY5dJs_bX20McP_q3tqS-MyniT8mdj6/s1600-h/IMG_0655.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393426122670641186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm2grLlHkTPdVrmLP6vOQvZyd3A9_ZtdGyJsH8nqMNeIQJXstidl7AoseMV8HcyRM5xXxyXeWcBFHPTMalZKIG2sYxJqgSQgBGK3wfnqBR-qMuzOY5dJs_bX20McP_q3tqS-MyniT8mdj6/s320/IMG_0655.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0fkRwAObg_68XRGJeLhGdsH8YzlaWe673tMW7NggTolqAdmxPzF-cYH5OD0EIBA8Y183yJyGOH7Ufau77u7HU67bhUUeRv7sBMWFz67YLBYhvg0s3JjcCEYf7U2kbwmfYsvHmTb7i-8DH/s1600-h/IMG_0656.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393425806090368130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0fkRwAObg_68XRGJeLhGdsH8YzlaWe673tMW7NggTolqAdmxPzF-cYH5OD0EIBA8Y183yJyGOH7Ufau77u7HU67bhUUeRv7sBMWFz67YLBYhvg0s3JjcCEYf7U2kbwmfYsvHmTb7i-8DH/s320/IMG_0656.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdlz3uR0g_05NoRh3NOuz8Pfp4W7qFKKmKodaoCFe0IYmGDGdNLTe6Qi6xNp-HscVrVeVOthm9lUwdGEDPWT6y7hd7mh4O6swJoxhAIjgFriiURcbK5QLi2p-xOkwp70RLkhxKww2XLY6e/s1600-h/IMG_0667.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393425340294166258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdlz3uR0g_05NoRh3NOuz8Pfp4W7qFKKmKodaoCFe0IYmGDGdNLTe6Qi6xNp-HscVrVeVOthm9lUwdGEDPWT6y7hd7mh4O6swJoxhAIjgFriiURcbK5QLi2p-xOkwp70RLkhxKww2XLY6e/s320/IMG_0667.JPG" /></a>Loves to swing<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM2r6nBF7imv7jp0UTeuaMuV1sQPoM9mMACbVqidlAczMIF3Trut0388DzJiMsKZBCtYgUtSfHJI1aXWpkdNJgv9Dpm0BmYRuA_UggGWhFl86zOoWxFc8OGdIG6SBAmEsFH2aJwUCsFQVe/s1600-h/IMG_0677.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393424893480993186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM2r6nBF7imv7jp0UTeuaMuV1sQPoM9mMACbVqidlAczMIF3Trut0388DzJiMsKZBCtYgUtSfHJI1aXWpkdNJgv9Dpm0BmYRuA_UggGWhFl86zOoWxFc8OGdIG6SBAmEsFH2aJwUCsFQVe/s320/IMG_0677.JPG" /></a>Close up shot of my handsome boy and his gorgeous brown eyes.

We took Riley to the Edmonton Zoo. We were watching a bird show and Riley wasn't too interested. He kept trying to get down and walked so we walked away from the birds. For some reason Riley wasn't too happy about that and he started screaming and crying. We walked for a bit and saw some cute little ponies. We walked over to them, Riley was still crying. The lady said he was big enough to ride one as long as one of us walked beside him. As we walked into where the ponies were Riley was instantly happy. I don't think I have ever seen his face light us and a smile so big as I had when I put him on that pony. He loved it. He loved it so much that when it was time to get off he wasn't too happy again. He got over in a few seconds later when he saw the elephant so it was all good. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">We also went to the ledge one hot evening. For those of you that don't know what the ledge is, it is some pools, fountains and sprinkler like things. There is a place to swim, there are places to wade in. It is lots of fun. It is by the Legislature building. Riley had a blast and again didn't want to leave when it was time. We would have stayed longer but it gets dark earlier now.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioe1kG_y7XTA4Wt1-3VmEu0ZbS3K8AnFo7GKy3wRKzY3vFUXz7EVnRE4jUxtHKbA5Qj6DDlTxZmfLW0L6Yv0WwSWCv_TACuPVZk0O5kQ_LMjy4QVdmbXxLeoeM7fyZONVpFTgeRYdxo9re/s1600-h/IMG_0590.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384765085291139266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioe1kG_y7XTA4Wt1-3VmEu0ZbS3K8AnFo7GKy3wRKzY3vFUXz7EVnRE4jUxtHKbA5Qj6DDlTxZmfLW0L6Yv0WwSWCv_TACuPVZk0O5kQ_LMjy4QVdmbXxLeoeM7fyZONVpFTgeRYdxo9re/s320/IMG_0590.JPG" /></a> Riley riding a pony at the Edmonton Zoo.

We went to Aspen Beach which is on Gull Lake. It is close to Lacombe and Sylvan Lake. We camped at Brewers Campground. We went with Mark and Lindsey Still and there girls Abby and Sariah. We got there on Friday August 21. We set up camp and spent the rest of the day at the beach. There is a playground right on the beach. The Lake is shallow and warm and there is a lovely beach. We spent a lot of time at the beach the first 2 days. We had a good time. Riley loved playing with his beach toys and going in the water. He was a really good camper. He slept good however the first night we had a wicked Thunderstorm and he didn't fall asleep until after it stopped which was 11pm. Oh well he slept good and even slept in. We were kinda bummed because we were supposed to stay until Monday but ended up leaving Sunday. It was cloudy and overcast and was supposed to get down to 4 degrees that night. We decided we didn't want to be cold or wet. Riley was ready to go home, he played too hard at the beach. We had a good time and kind of wish we would have waited to go for another week because of course it was hot the next 2 weekends after. What are the chances of that in late August and September??</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9eUprKnpIr9owd2imxenx_r7T5bjNu7fe2aM8QUQBEX0v52ZW2xjGHK4ENMUkNsWFEiKMTONta_d907L-chxUx-hdSg1l6a7a6oGM0kEYabkzdTs6OCpEI5Et9T5iN-3_WDRIfBOtLlZE/s1600-h/IMG_0539.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382174160040114434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9eUprKnpIr9owd2imxenx_r7T5bjNu7fe2aM8QUQBEX0v52ZW2xjGHK4ENMUkNsWFEiKMTONta_d907L-chxUx-hdSg1l6a7a6oGM0kEYabkzdTs6OCpEI5Et9T5iN-3_WDRIfBOtLlZE/s320/IMG_0539.JPG" /></a> A cute close-up of Riley with the beach in the background.

He was very determined to get that purple thing on top. He has another one at home where there is a little bucket that goes on top and then the water goes through the little hole in the bucket and makes the wheel spin.

He would just push down on one side and half sit down and stand up.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJUOCc_3rAYnnObncj9T0g6dTovF9EnVrZTuGAnBsIMWTHgR7jjKCRrbP4cIXJ1_xEQ_ksw1tas4UxY8BwWC27Db69l5ktbPQTvLJ769F7ea38B0akrAE0yTKLzz_VAvZSY3VdxnZQBffs/s1600-h/IMG_0478.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379319015041978322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJUOCc_3rAYnnObncj9T0g6dTovF9EnVrZTuGAnBsIMWTHgR7jjKCRrbP4cIXJ1_xEQ_ksw1tas4UxY8BwWC27Db69l5ktbPQTvLJ769F7ea38B0akrAE0yTKLzz_VAvZSY3VdxnZQBffs/s320/IMG_0478.JPG" /></a> Riley finally sitting the right way in his chair.<br /></div></div></div></div>robynatwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05017460681329814173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217073730135771448.post-13921447706782322192009-08-18T13:44:00.000-07:002009-08-18T22:16:43.213-07:00A Week in Cardston<div align="left">Riley and I went to Cardston to spend the week August 2-9. Jesse had to work so he stayed home and came on the Friday evening. We had a good time visiting with family and friends. We did a lot of indoor visiting. It rained and was cold almost everyday we were there except for Friday and Saturday. I did get to see some friends that I have not seen in a very long time such as Jill Williams and Leslie Redford Anderson. Riley had fun playing with his Papa and going for walks when it wasn't raining in the wagon.</div><div align="left">I had a good visit with my grandparents and aunts and uncles. We didn't take many pictures due to the rain. Riley fell asleep during the whole parade on Saturday so I am sad we didn't get any pictures of that cuz it was a good parade. Oh well next year I am sure he will enjoy it more.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd6OdlZA1qRduJJ_EbP9tH3R06H5bKo1ZyO0uDQNfF64KY41CkxcQlRy2GhjNibeEOnxU_itwtS6k8y42EEd3LV9fi5buAYDiash31bRzTrY-LhLcdKJSw7aGl1sBSkQKNV-nAn_wIR-e9/s1600-h/IMG_0452.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371535301745421090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd6OdlZA1qRduJJ_EbP9tH3R06H5bKo1ZyO0uDQNfF64KY41CkxcQlRy2GhjNibeEOnxU_itwtS6k8y42EEd3LV9fi5buAYDiash31bRzTrY-LhLcdKJSw7aGl1sBSkQKNV-nAn_wIR-e9/s320/IMG_0452.JPG" /></a>Riding in the wagon that was given to Julie for her 1st birthday.

We had no idea why he was crying and he kept crying everytime one of us would shoot the ball through the hoop. By Saturday (our last day there) he deicided he liked it and always wanted to play with it. That cry eventually turned to a laugh and big smile. He thought he was pretty clever for putting the ball through the hoop again and again.

My uncles were always the main ones playing when I was younger but now they are getting old so some of the grandkids play now as well as some of the uncles. We have to have at least 2 over 40 playing, 2 girls and 1 kid 15 years old or under but at least 12 years old. We always have such a good time. This picture is all of the family that were there to play and to cheer on the team this year. We made it to the final game winning all of our other games but lost in the final by 1 run. Too bad!! We had fun though and the weather was really nice considering it rained all week.<br /></div><div align="center"><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_s4wiT-rckqmHAOZgI7EGj7VRH6UxrTgHtr_zcYqMVj8FUKvW4sycH8QNQEV9Wn1Dr1id-R-A0SCSqdT-DucLpBHDqwEeUjStOKMiVBedTVF7gp77ATBe829qYG0rl9YFhxPJD2uDkEpv/s1600-h/IMG_0465.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371413426576912162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_s4wiT-rckqmHAOZgI7EGj7VRH6UxrTgHtr_zcYqMVj8FUKvW4sycH8QNQEV9Wn1Dr1id-R-A0SCSqdT-DucLpBHDqwEeUjStOKMiVBedTVF7gp77ATBe829qYG0rl9YFhxPJD2uDkEpv/s320/IMG_0465.JPG" /></a> Riley was so tired after spending all day outide at the park, parade, and softball games.

He had so much fun with Papa this weekend. Riley has this barn with all the aminals and inside the barn there is this little button that you can press and it plays 2 different songs one at a time and then you have to press it again to hear the next one. Anyways, the songs are Old MacDonald Had A Farm and The Farmer in the Dell. Riley would press it Papa would start singing the song. It got to the point that Riley would press the button and then turn and look at Papa expecting him to sing. It was so cute. Riley actually started doing this when they came to visit us in Sherwood Park. Then if Riley and I were reading a story and Papa walked in the room, Riley would immediately want down off my lap and he would run over to his barn press the button to play the song so Papa would start singing. It is way too cute and funny. I am wishing I would have had my video camera. I guess I will next time if he still does that next times we see Papa.</div><div align="center"><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW2P2sp2dSuJ-Ld10QGfJndylSrt6XFOzCREl0vRMcDXs-QgbyHfbNeqTl5vzcf3_9YxUfXaPDVaAaarREw3Pke1Lw9dyaZhLUwPL5DaeQiXrLRr7MXceA7_zFJViSnkgvXwUifyPo1pZ3/s1600-h/IMG_0473.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371410692176320626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW2P2sp2dSuJ-Ld10QGfJndylSrt6XFOzCREl0vRMcDXs-QgbyHfbNeqTl5vzcf3_9YxUfXaPDVaAaarREw3Pke1Lw9dyaZhLUwPL5DaeQiXrLRr7MXceA7_zFJViSnkgvXwUifyPo1pZ3/s320/IMG_0473.JPG" /></a> Riley with Nana and Papa McMurray<br /></div></div><div align="center"><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">We were just getting ready to head back to Sherwood Park and we thought we better capture some pictures before it started raining again (it had been all week).

He hasn't gone in his pool since because it has been so cold. Like seriously WHAT HAPPENED TO SUMMER???? It didn't stop snowing until the end or May and then it rained the first half of July, then was really really hot for almost 2 weeks and now it has rained for half of August and to top that all off we got frost here this morning. I was talking to a friend today and she told me it seems like we have had only 2 seasons this year, WINTER, JULY (for 2 weeks) and now we are starting on the third which feels like fall. We skipped spring and most of summer this year. Thanks for reading my venting about this cold summer. I just had to get it out.
