Update with pictures.

So here are some newer pictures of the kids, I know bad mommy they are from last month. This was the first day of school for both of the girls. Yes the outfits match but that was them not me and at least they are different colors:) Thalan just waking up was the cutest Sean put him to bed with no shirt and when I went in to get him I was like um can you say Sean JR. HAHA. My little big man.

The girls are doing great in school.
Faith at the moment is working on a big project about the Moon. Is excelling in Math and reading chapter books almost quicker then I can supply them. She's funny because she knows mommy will never say no too buying books, I am truley amazed by how far she has come.
Kenzie amazes me by what she knows and gets to show off in school. They give the kids pictuers and do things like tell them to circle objects that start with a certain letter or color everything with a certain letter this color. She does them all perfectly and we are so proud.
Thalan, as I call him my little big man is just that. Sence birth he has always been right on target for clothes, that is until a week ago ans nothing 9 months fit him anymore. He now is in 12 months at 10 months which is fine by me, but holy cow I swear he was in 9 months for only a week. His second top tooth is just pushing itself through and my boy loves to eat, I already am scared of my grocery bill in years to come. lol.
Sean and I are good. They recently opened the walkway in Highland. Click here to learn more about it. If it doesn't rain this weeken hopefully I will get to walk it with the kids.www.walkway.org and his store is busier then ever. I on the other hand am beiong promoted to assistant manager in my store.
So as usually we are busy. Life is good though really good.







I am not sure why this pictures are a little fuzy sorry.

The Riley Gang!

Having my own children makes me not only appreciate my mom more but all mothers. Its a never ending job, always rewarding in some way but tiring regardless.

Faith is going to be 8 in two months and I look at her every day and wonder where that little girl went. She really is growing up to fast. She has made it to level 5 in swimming lessons and absolulty loves it. She has already told me that when she is old enough she wants to do the training that they offer to become a lifeguard. I think she would be great at it, she is so good at teaching things and explaining things to other people.
*** Faithism*** Faith is a infomercial queen and always has been. When she was 4 she drew on her tv with markers and told me if I had Kaboom it would come right off! Then of course there is ever toy possible that ou get all this stuff mom for less then $20! Right before we moved I got out of the shower and she told me about the hangers that create more space and oh how it is such a good deal if you order now (then she rattled the number off) you get a set free. Here is the phone. I couldn't help but laugh. Then yesterday I came home from work and she handed me a napkin and said Please please. I looked at the napkin to find a 1 800 number for bendaroos. Then she went on a 5 minute repeat of the commercial on everything you can do with them and how much fun they would be! So I told her I would talk to daddy and she came back with oh I already did and he said to talk to you! I laughed and I am now looking into buying them but they sell them at the store so maybe I will go that route. She cracks me up, one day she will be running an AS seen on TV store!
****Kenzisms****My little one has had a hard time adjusting to everything that has gone on the past 6 months and is regressing in certain aspects. She has become very whiny and only wants mommy and really only mommy, which is cute when I am not trying to get anything accomplished. She has started talking like a baby sometimes when she is upset which is like nails on a chalkboard to me, sometimes she won't even speak she will just whine and piont. I am sure it is just a phase but I am worried about her. She still asks to go back to our old home, to live. Last time I passed the street we did live on she cried for 10 minutes. So sad.
She is doing ok in swimming she is in level 2 but has a hard time keeping her face under to swim which I understand . I almost think that they should have a easier program for the little ones. But hey she is learning alot and I am grateful.
So last night Kenzie told Thalan she was going to tell him a bedtime story. I almost peed laughing. This is it:
One day there was a magical princess and her dog Tobi they were playing in the yard lalalalala. Tobi chased a cat into the forest where it was dark and spooky, the princess was scared. Next thing you now there was monsters and dragons with sharp teeth and a hot mouth and a growl like this roooaaarrrr! The princess said please be quiet and then the monsters brought her and tobi home!
I recieve so many compliments on how polite Kenzie is and always has been sense she could talk, its always please or thank you. So to hear her put it in a story was great.
*** My little big guy*** Thalan James is getting to big for mommies comfort. I know, I know they all grow up but being that he is my last I really want to hang on to this baby time. He has started to crawl or what looks like crawling but really is scooting I have to get it on camera. He is trying to pull himself up, next thing you know he will be running. He will always be my baby though.
I think Thalan is allergic to Strawberries! The other day I gave him Apple,stawberry and banana baby food for breakfast along with his cereal. Next thing you know my poor boy has the worst diaper rash ever and is pooping 6 + times for two days straight! I can't think of anything else it could be. So for now no more strawberries.
I have been thinking that he has been teething sense he was 4months old (kenzie got her first two teeth then) he drools, runny nose, chews on everything. But nothing yet. Well, the other day I felt in there and there is a bump, you can see that it is white but its not through yet. The funny part about it is he wants nothing to do with anyone checking his mouth. He pushes your hand away, will clamp his mouth shut, get squirmy, and makes a sport out of not letting you in. Little poop head!.
Even though all of this going on he has still been a super sleeper and has only been a little cranky.
Oh I almost forgot: So Thalan is on the floor playing and the girls are watching Tv. I went into the Kitchen to make lunch. I hear them Laughing and saying no to Thalan. The little buger was sitting up withthe wipes box imbetween his legs ripping them out and laughing like crazy. They shouls make the boxes childproof! And no I couldn't fiund the camera so no pics I know bad mommy.

Well until next time. Take it One day at a time. Enjoy life,and as I tell Faith be a duck.
