Valentine's and a Rodeo...

I love Valentines... what isn't to love? It's a day to tell people how much you care and love them. With that being said, I am having so much more fun with it than I thought I would ....Riley had a cute party at her mother's day out program... so "we" just had to make some yummy goodies to send. I took pictures of the goodies that Riley took to all her classmates, but forgetful me didn't think to bring the camera to take some snap shoots of her having fun at the party.

TaDa! The finished V-Day Happy!


That evening we were in Hattiesburg spending time with our families, we took Riley to the Forrest County Rodeo(?) I think that's what it was called... anyways. We had such a blast, this was Riley's second time to go, however last year she was a sick baby that did not enjoy it at all. Well, this year was different, she was feeling just fine and she had a great time!!! Joel's mom pulled out an outfit Joel wore alot when he was younger and it was perfect for our rodeo outing... a pair of suede chaps and vest! SOOOO CUTE!!! Riley wore them with pride! We had such a great time we can't wait till next year. We just might have to go to the Dixie Nationals- I mean since we live in Jackson and all.... hahaha!

I'm Back!!!

Yes, I'm out of hibernation!! I am so sorry for the long break...it's been a combination of a few things that has kept me from blogging, but I won't go into that now. So much to talk about... 

First things first- RILEY'S POTTY TRAINED !!!!! Yippie! We are so proud of our little girl, and it happened so quickly. We started around Thanksgiving and now Riley's going on trips to Hattiesburg without pull-ups! It is such a financial relief not to have to buy $40 dollars worth of diapers every other week!! (Off to the make-up counters for me!!) 

We now are embarking on the world of colors! Riley has learned alot from her toys here and there, but now we have flash cards and it won't be too long and she'll know them all. Her fav. right now are green and pink, she can point them out really well, and with Valentines day coming up she's loving all the PINK.

So, I have you up to date for 2009, now the future!!! Valentines day is coming up...(like in 4 days) and I still don't have anything for the hubby. Any suggestions? I've always done something handmade, but I am totally out of ideas!!! Now for Riley I have some really cute ideas that have become my ongoing projects for the last few days... I'll post some picks as soon as I have them done!! 

Speaking of pictures, here are some from the last few weeks.... Enjoy!! And I'll blog soon:) Promise!
