Family Pictures

We had our family pictures taken by my wonderful cousin Jeannie a few weeks ago while we were up at Clemson. I am so happy with them... she did a great job. When I'm not so tired, I am going to play around with them and change the colors and make them fun. Not sure where all these pictures are going to go because I LOVE so many of them. Here's a preview of some.... many of you may just be getting some others as cards or gifts :)

Yoga Class

Everyday after school I always ask Riley what she did in school. Some days I get some answers and then other days I don't, but I do have to ask her specific things like "did you paint, did you read books?" Also, I have to ask her what she did in music class and gym class which she normally tells me more about because she absolutely loves going to both of those classes. For the past couple days when I ask her about gym class she just tells me that they run laps. That seemed kinda odd to me so tonight I did some digging and found out exactly what they have been doing. It wasn't until she was half way through demonstrating things that I really knew what she was doing. She had mentioned to me that they acted like a monkey and a bird so I asked her to show me how to be a monkey and this is what she ended up doing for me.....

She told me they have their "squat box" which I thought was really weird so I asked her to do a squat thinking she would do one like I do, but no she did this weird plea thing. I was still confused so she went on and showed me how then act like different animals.....

The Monkey

The Bird

The Dragonfly

The Dog

The Cat

The Mouse

I was so shocked to see her doing yoga!!! Once she was done with the mouse she jumped up and said "now we run laps"! They have a little workout session in the gym... how cute is that.

And then of course after we got done taking all the pictures I looked over and saw the "monkey see monkey do move" :)

Cinderella

These pictures were taken awhile ago and I just came across them. Riley loves to dress up but normally just throws half of a dress on or just her shoes. This day she really wanted to become Cinderella and she walking around like a little princess... it was too cute.

Halloween

Nana and Papa came to visit for Halloween. They were here in time to help carve the pumpkin... Riley wanted a "happy pumpkin". The girls weren't too sure about the "gooey" stuff inside the pumpkin, LOL.

Nonnie and Gumpy came over after lunch on Halloween to see the girls.... Nonnie brought some goodies and gave Reagan a lollipop.... now her favorite thing:)

Halloween night was fun. It was hot, but that was ok. We just went down the street and back. Riley pooped quicker than we thought and Reagan wanted to keep going... she was funny. When we got back Jason and I dressed up and headed to our party.. WE WON!!!! Not really... actually don't know b/c we didn't stay long enough:)

Cookies and Pumpkins

I must have been in a crafty mood this day. We made cookies and painted pumpkins.... and made a huge mess in the kitchen :)

Girls helping me make Halloween cookies.

When we went to get a pumpkin, I let the girls pick out their own pumpkin. Both of them chose a white pumpkin so when we got home Riley instantly wanted to paint them. It was actually a very good idea because they turned out really cute. Riley had a blast... she is going to be our artist. Reagan had fun too, but she really liked eating the paint and painting herself!
