Rachel came for dinner and games tonight, was fun to hang out after we hadn't seen her in a while! - Riley had a lot of fun with her aunt, despite the totally bored look in this picture!

I found GREAT deals at Old Navy yesterday and today Riley enjoyed 'trying on' all the clothes. - Basically she would put each item on her head and grin at me!

Chris and I had a long needed date night tonight, we went for dinner and then to a WONDERFUL frozen yogurt shop. - Of course we forgot to take a picture and so we took one while watching Survivor last night!

Enjoyed the beautiful rainbow outside while I was cleaning this evening!

This was my day, from 8 AM to 10 PM I was an officer in the election. - LONG day and it made me so thankful for a husband who works hard so I can stay home with my precious girl, I missed her today!

Ri FINALLY got to wear an outfit that I've been waiting for her to grow into! - LOVE it.

This is how Riley likes to relax on a Saturday morning at home! :-)

Chris and I voted tonight and then we decided to spend some time at the park with Ri, she loved it and I thought this was a fun shadow family picture!

Went to the zoo today with friends! We had a great time but Riley was tuckered out by the end of it. - I enjoyed all the walking, 37 weeks now so I'm doing all the walking I can! :-)

Today I got to see my wonderful friend Chelsea after months of her being away! It was so great. I also had another thing that made me excited today, so I'm doing two pictures. 

 

I have been thinking about getting new shoes for about 6 months now and I decided to get them and they came in the mail today! VERY excited!

Riley decided today she wanted to wear her hat, frilly dress and socks pulled up to her knees... Already having a HUGE opinions!

Today I went to our new catalogue launch event. - Won a prize and got to escape an evening with an apparently VERY cranky little girl... I won on both fronts! :-)

April 15th, 2012

 

Sunday's always throw off Riley's schedule, but today seemed to bug her particularly much. - This is her eating her first food since breakfast, exhausted from no nap, at 9:00 at night. Poor girl, hope she sleeps in!

April 14th, 2012

 

This girl sure loves her Daddy, and her Daddy sure loves her! - So thankful to have these two in my life, I'm so blessed. 

April 13th, 2012

 

Today is a tiny cheat as I didn't take this picture, but today we went and watched Rachel's choir perform and I was so proud of her! - She shared her testimony AND sang a solo without crying! (For a Thorne that is QUITE the feat!) She did such a great job and I think my tears made up for her strength! :-)

April 12th, 2012

We have been hit by a spring snowstorm! - Riley LOVED the snowflakes the size of loonies falling on her head when we went out this evening.

April 11th, 2012

 

This was Ri's activity for the day, she LOVED using the chalk and then erasing it again! 

April 10th, 2012

This picture represents a first for Riley. - She has not been a climber thus far and I've not been sad about that. Today I turned around and she was on the chair. She proceeded to climb up and down for about 45 minutes.

April 9th, 2012

 

After being out all weekend Riley had a pretty tough day! - This glassy expression is what I got for most of the day, when she wasn't crying... Good thing she's so cute!

April 8th, 2012

Our Family Easter Celebration Breakfast this morning. - Spent time reading Luke and praying as a family, so thankful for Riley, Chris and most of all the miracle of the Resurrection!

April 7th, 2012

Spent the morning baking and icing cupcakes for our family Easter dinner tomorrow! - So glad the image in my head turned out cute in reality too! :-)

Daddy got to enjoy a rare Riley cuddle while she drank her milk tonight! -He loved it!

April 5th, 2012

My friend Serenity came over to show me the fabric of a blanket she is making for our baby... - Riley had TOO much fun playing in a pile of fabric!

April 4th, 2012

Daddy brought a new ball home for Ri after she was in bed last night... - She loves it so much that she wouldn't eat breakfast without it.

April 3rd, 2012

This little woman decided that 5:30 was her morning today... So her quiet and cute moments were not too plentiful, but I did manage to catch one! :-)

April 2nd, 2012

Chopped off my perm today! - Now I get to have my straight hair back thanks to my wonderful friend Michelle!

April 1st, 2012

Spent some family time before bed reflecting on the significance of Palm Sunday. - Well, as much reflecting as you can do with a 1-year-old on your lap!
