Our Family

Well we have decided to create a blog. We hope this helps our loved ones keep in touch, and not lose out to much on our kids growing up.
Just to update you on what is going on right now with our family.
Riley has had a few big milestones this past month.

He started preschool.

He is going to school Monday through Friday in the mornings. He loves school. Every time we ask him what he did at school that day, his first response is that he played with the lego motorcycle. If you can't guess from that, his favorite thing to do his play with his legos.

Riley also lost his first tooth.

He was pretty nervous about it, but once it came out he was excited. His Grandma Carlsen gave him a container to put his teeth in for the Tooth Fairy. He was excited to put the tooth in there. Unfortunately, Abbie was a little to curious about the tooth and wouldn't leave it alone. I had the tooth in Riley's container on the kitchen table. When I came into the kitchen later the tooth was missing. We look every where for the tooth, but couldn't find it. When I asked Abbie if she took the tooth she said she put it in her mouth. Later she told us it would come out in her poopie. Don't ask me were she learned that.
We are really proud of Riley. He has worked very heard all summer learning his numbers, so he could earn Lego Star Wars II video game. He finally was able to earn the game.

Abbie is growing up way to fast. She is like a sponge and soaks up everything. Because Riley has been working on his numbers so much, Abbie has pick up on counting and loves to count everything.

Abbie graduated to a toddler bed.

She thinks she is such a big girl now. We went and bought her a pillow and princess pillow case and sheet.

I finally finished the quilt I have been working on for Riley. It has taken me over a year to sew. Riley was excited to finally get the blanket on his bed.

Terry has started school again. This year has been less stressful, due to the fact he is no longer coaching. He misses the kids and the kids miss him, but it was the right move to make for our family. Every time he runs into one of the kids on the swim team the beg him to come back.
