I Splurged on Myself!

I got a haircut and color finally!! I'm allowed to have two a year, right? Honestly, just being able to make time between work, school, wedding planning and Riley is difficult, but I love my busy life!

Recent Happenings...

Last weekend, Jon went on to College Station, Texas, for his annual boy's trip. He and three other guys went to see OU play Texas A&M...We all know how that game went. Although the game was awful, Jon said he really enjoyed College Station and that the A&M fans were cordial.

While Jon was on his trip, Riley and I stayed in Norman and went to my dad's house to visit with family. Poor Riley had a rough weekend...he is getting a couple of molars in, and is suffering from a sinus infection. The weekend pretty much went as follows:

 

Riley didn't care for his pizza lunch...

                               Riley's tuxedo for the wedding arrived, but he didn't like trying it on...


I hate seeing my sweet boy so upset...but even when he's upset, he still makes the cutest faces. :)

I hope everyone is enjoying their week.



Halloween 2010 - Riley's First Trick-Or-Treat

Happy Halloween! Riley sure did have a blast trick-or-treating for the first time! My mom and I took him to "Haunt The Zoo" on Friday night, where he got to walk through a very decorated Halloween trail and get lots of attention and candy. Here are a few pictures from his adventure:

Waiting to get into the zoo...

 Trying to open the treasure chest...

 Riley's terrified face...

 Riley and I...

 Riley and Grandma Peggy...

 Sitting with the pumpkin...

 Headed home...and not tired a bit!

Riley even got to go trick-or-treating on our street...he absolutely loved running around. He ran his grandma and I ragged. He really enjoyed seeing all the kids come up to the door. He got so excited and would try to escape to go with them...then he'd cry once they left. He thinks he's about 4 years old. Here are some shots from that adventure:

Heading out to the neighbor's house...

 He can't say trick-or-treat...but he knows how to hold his bag up for candy...

 Getting some goodies...

 Riley with Grandma Peggy...

 This was his sad face...he cried every time the trick-or-treaters walked away...

I hope everyone had as much fun celebrating Halloween as Riley did! He's zonked out after so much fun!

Pre-Halloween Party

Last weekend, Jon and I had the opportunity to attend a Halloween/Birthday Party for some friends in Norman. We had so much fun, and I thought I'd share a couple of pictures to show you our costumes. I was 'Little Red Riding Hood', and Jon was a 'Pimp'.

Riley stayed the night with Grandpa Jeff and Grandma BJ. He really enjoyed his time with them, and I don't think it hurt that they spoiled him rotten, and got him a 'Happy Meal' for dinner. It's always nice to get out of the house for a night out, but Jon and I both missed Riley so much, and agreed that things were just weird without him around. We love our little guy.

I was fumbling through pictures on my phone, and came across what has to be one of the most hilarious pictures I've ever taken of Riley. So, I thought I'd share it with all of you.

I'm guessing the thought going through his head was. " WHOA! What is this thing?! This has got to be the best food ever!! How do I get more?!" ;)

Fall Is Finally Here!

Jon, Riley and I are so happy that the Fall weather has finally decided to reveal itself here in Oklahoma! The nights are getting cooler...and it's almost sweater weather! Here are a few of my favorite things from Fall 2010 so far...

Making fun Fall decorations...

 Baking carrot cake or pumpkin spice bread...

And last, but not least....

Seeing my little boy dressed up in his Halloween costume! (Sorry this picture is blurry....Superman holds still for no one!)

I'll be sure to post pictures from Riley's first trick-or-treat experience in a few weeks. Jon and I are heading to a Halloween party on Saturday, which should be a blast! I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!
