Slip 'N Sliding

Summer finally showed up for a couple of days last week - Riley, Bailey, and their cousin Brody took full advantage and pulled out the slip n' slide. They had a blast!

PIG

Last weekend Cory's boss gave us a basketball hoop for the driveway. We have been wanting one for awhile, but had put off getting one...good thing! Riley was really excited - she has been wanting to practice her dribbling and shooting ever since her basketball season got over back in February. Cory and Ry were out "shooting hoops" (that is what Riley calls it) the other night, and Cory introduced her to the game PIG. Ry is hooked! She loves it and wants to play every night...it doesn't hurt that she has "beat" her dad at every game they have played!

The Belly Roll

Bailey has discovered a new talent...she does the best belly rolls in the world! We aren't exactly sure how and where this started, but every chance she gets she pulls up her shirt and makes her cute, chubby belly roll in waves. Take a look at the video...it is classic Bailey, and we love it!

Ry's Talent Show

Last week Riley had a talent show at school. Her teacher kindly requested that ALL kids participate, which Ry wasn't too happy about at first. Ry doesn't love being in front of crowds, so this was a little nerve-racking for her. She ended up doing some artwork that we displayed on a poster. We were proud of her for getting up and doing her part even though she was kind of nervous. Way to go, RILEY!

I'm Hooked...

My friend recently introduced me to digital scrapbooking and I am hooked! Here are a few of the layouts I (and I use the term "I" loosely...I had A LOT of help) have done over the last week. I still have a lot to learn, but I am loving it!

Cheap Entertainment

We have a park near our house that has the BEST hills. Whenever we go the girls ignore the play equipment and just want to run down the hills. Riley is big enough to tackle the hills on her own, but Bailey can't quite make it all the way down without wiping out. We always ask her if she wants help running down, but most of the time she insists on doing it herself. You would think that bouncing down the hill on her chin would make her change her mind - but she is a stubborn one! The "Hill Park" has become one of our favorite family activities - and you can't beat the price of admission!!!!

The Triplets

Last weekend Cory's sister and her family came to visit. Kip and Clarissa have triplets, and Riley and Bailey had a great time playing with their cousins. Thanks for coming you guys!
