Father's Day 2011

Father's Day 2011 was pretty much perfect! We stayed in all day and watched movies, while the sun scorched outside.


Riley really loves his Daddy...and he likes to be close to him.

We had taken my dad out for a Father's Day Dinner the previous day...

So, instead of taking his Daddy to dinner...Riley wanted to surprise his Dad with a gift...

As Riley helped unwrap the gift, Jon was excited to see a Keurig Coffee Maker. That thing makes the best coffee....it's as good as Starbucks, and I'm normally not a coffee drinker.


Riley gave Jon a card he had made for him, which was pretty adorable...


We finished Father's Day by watching Disney Pixar's 'Cars'. Jon and Riley both loved the movie, and they had so much fun watching it.


My little boy loves his Daddy. :)

I hope you all had a wonderful Father's Day!

A Birthday Party & Cousin Love...



Last weekend, my sister and two adorable nieces came back to Oklahoma City for a little visit. We all attended Liam's First Birthday on Saturday, and the kids had lots of fun splashing around in the baby pools.






It was so hot outside! I'm hating the fact that it's been around 100 degrees consistently for about two weeks. It's miserable!


We all enjoyed Liam's Party! The decorations were adorable, and he really dove right into his smash cake...






Poor Riley....he was totally jealous the whole time Liam was eating his cake....so Jon was nice enough to give little Ry a piece...He loved it!




After the birthday party, we journeyed to my dad's house and then on to Eischen's in Okarche for a Pre-Father's Day celebration.



They have the best fried chicken...it was delicious!!

After we all filled up on chicken, it was time to head back to dad's house to relax and give the cousins a little playtime.

Sweet Sisters

The infamous "biting incident"

Riley just adored Caroline's toy phone...

Caroline and Riley were being sort of photogenic for me...




But all the sweet behavior changed once Caroline yanked the toy phone away from Riley...

Why are they so cute when they're mad? :)



Once things calmed down, Caroline and Riley enjoyed a piggy-back ride from Allie...





It was a fun weekend, and we hope to see them all again soon!

Riley Blaine...


Behind those blue eyes is a very curious toddler...


 The vacuum cleaner is one of Riley's favorite things to "play with", no matter how many times he gets told NO.


He's also discovered Daddy's video game controllers...


He loves pulling Mommy's sunglasses out of her purse and trying them on...


He still has a love for any and every remote control...


Yep, he's a toddler...so we're learning to pick our battles!



Stormin' Norman...



This is what happened to our fence Tuesday night after a major thunderstorm wiped through Norman. We experienced dime-sized hail and 100mph winds.

We are all okay, but unfortunately, my flowers were completely destroyed. :(

Our air-conditioner is going to need to be replaced from all the hail damage it suffered. An insurance adjustor is supposed to come out and survey the damage....I'm hoping our roof is okay.





Oklahoma weather is so crazy...One minute it's sunny, and the next it's a hurricane. Nearly every fence in our neighborhood was knocked down. Here's to hoping we don't have to endure anymore storms this year. :(
