BBQ and S'mores

Today was such a fun day, we spent the day up in OC since {Great} Uncle Wendy and Aunt Debbie were visiting from Fresno and they hadn't met Riley or Cash yet.  So we met up at Grandma Nancy's house for a quick visit and then headed over to the Whiteley house for a little BBQ!
 
 
Madison loves reading with Grandma

You know us, we had to take pics of the cousins together.
They looked so cute, but they weren't to pleased with us mommas, who were snapping picture after picture after picture of them.
 
 why do they keep taking pictures?
 Cash, come closer...
Shhh!
 I have a secret...
Apparently Uncle John loves s'mores, so the Whiteley house is always stocked with the essentials.  So Auntie Candice made Madison her very 1st s'more and needless to say, she LOVED it!

mmmmmm....... s'more please?
 I'm not sure about this
 OMG
 "I wuv s'mores"

We had a great time visiting with the family and enjoying a relaxing BBQ.  Every time the cousins are all together I just get so excited thinking about them growing up and being the best of friends.  Thanks Whiteley's for hosting just a great BBQ, we can't wait until the next one :)

Family Photos!!

I was soooo excited to get family photos.  
I was even more excited to see how amazing they all turned out!
I thought all I wanted was a really great family pic
 
 but I fell in love with the pics of my girls

Damn, they are CUTE!
 
 
Where did my little baby go?
 she looks so grown up
 my heart is melting
 
 
 
 
  
They are definitely Daddy's girls
{unless Momma is around}
 FAVORITE.PICTURE.EVER

What is better of pictures of Riley and Madison alone?
THEM TOGETHER!
love, love, love, love, love!!!
I know that we all love each other, but these pictures truly captured that love.  Madison is obsessed with her little sister {and it shows} and we are obsessed with our girls {and it shows}.  I married the best man and he gave me the best little girls <3

4 months

I can't get over how cute she is!
She's officially 4 months and she gets cuter as each day passes
   It was time to take our monthly pics
which started off well
 
 
 
 then ended with tears
 she was so fed up with pics
 that she decided to leave! 
hahahaha

 Over the past 4 months Riley has gotten sooo big!  
She can do so many new things!

* She laughs!  
{It's the sweetest sound ever}
* She can push herself up with her arms
* She can roll over from belly to back
{and from back to belly}
* She's learning to scoot around like a caterpillar
and of course

She still has those HUGE owl eyes
  and makes the funniest expressions with them!
AHHHH!!!
 
 WHAT!?!?!?!
 
 YOU'RE KIDDING, RIGHT!?!
 
 PEEK-A-BOO!!!
 
 
and of course she still LOVES being held!
 
She also sleeps
ALOT
 
 she even fell asleep in her ExerSaucer
 I think {correction} I know her favorite thing is when Momma is holding her.  If I could sit with her, hold her or carry her ALL DAY LONG she would be the happiest little baby ever!
 love that adorable smile!
When she's not sleeping, being cuddled or making funny faces, she's being tormented by her big sister.  Madison is a "big helper" and fills Riley's swing with every toy she can find... until it's almost impossible to find Riley amongst the toys! hahaha

Riley has such a sweet soul, she makes me a better mom and we are lucky to be her parents.  I can't wait until she can sit up {without toppling over} and I want to hear that little giggle turn into full blown laughter!  I keep saying I can't wait to watch her grow, but I also want her to stay little forever.........
