hello again

Checking him out. comparing hand sizes.

Visiting Uncle Erik he wanted someone to come spend the night in his fort Daddy Tim made so he asked Mandy. She said maybe later. He asked whens later. Then when getting in the car he said Grammy when is later. I asked why and he said Aunt Mandy is going to come spend the night with me in my fort isn't that cool. Dress warm Mandy it might be cold out there :-)

Aunt Mandy

Aunt Bev (ed's sister) with Riley while Caiden shows him one of his toys. Riley thought it was cool. Some day when Riley is Human he might be able to play with it.

Just a few Fathers day pictures.
Also wanted to mention that Kailtyn is a Freshman now. She said I can't believe I hadn't mentioned it. So I did.

2 1/2 weeks

Check out his new chins. He's gaining!!

My chins aren't so cute.

All the other babies in the nursery started screaming and he put his hands up like he was going to cover his ears.

He doesn't nurse but he likes the bottle and as of yesterday mostly bottles only 2 tube feedings and today all bottles no tube feeding so if he keeps it up he might be able to go home soon. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hair cut

Kaitlyn had babysittiing money and wanted to go get a hair cut. Panic. But we went to Katy's (Nephew's wife) new solon. Katy was very good at keeping the length and adding bangs down the side. Then Kaitlyn said can you go shorter. I didn't say anything and Katy went about two more inches shorter with lots of layers. She still has long hair just about 5 inches shorter.

Looking Good

Lunch time

Playing with color on the camera

More color changes

Getting ready to say goodbye. Look how good Amanda looks today.

going to the dogs

Looking for phot subects when I have the time. SO it just happen to be the dogs. Kaitlyn was trying to teach Kiwi "fetch" and Kiwi was trying to teach Kaitlyn "keep away". Kiwi won. Kaitlyn learned to chase Kiwi better then Kiwi learned to bring it back. (she never did) The one of Dakota is just cause that is his intelligent look and it's the only look he has. Tim said the other day he sometimes wonders how he remembers to breath. Well he's happy anyway. He does fetch and is very competive about it, he just has a hard time figuring out which way to run and it takes him a while to find the ball.

Same flower different camera. Liking this camera so far.

New Camera

I got a new camera Sat. night but havent' had much time to play with it yet. I did go in and see Riley yesterday but it's hard to get pictures through the plastic and he was sleeping. So I went to Dee's to pick up Kaitlyn and Caiden (left him with them while went to go see Riley) So I worked on getting a good picture of Caiden. It's easy to get pictures of Kaitlyn because she has had YEARS of training. Any way can't wait to go somewhere and take pictures. I want to try out the zoom it has 20X optical zoom with 80X Total zoom. That will be so much different then my 4x zoom I had on the Nikon.

A picture with just the green.

A cute pic of Caiden

Kaitlyn and Kam in Dee's swing

Getting ready to throw his pop it to the cement.

I didn't take this picture but thought it was cute. Daddy's little marine.

Everyday brings something new.

Everday another type of flower blooms through all my weeds. I am so far behind on my flower beds this year.

A picture Amanda sent from her phone today. She got to nurse him for the first time and then she headed home. I know tonight she will be tired and sore but at least she is getting better and soon Little Riley will be coming home. They said last night that anyday before his due date will be a bonus hopefully he doesn't have to stay another 5 weeks.

Caiden

Today Caiden built a lego castle for Pumbaa his guinea pig so he could get outside and eat grass.

This is Sat. before Amanda went into the hospital. I forgot about these pics and just came accross them. Caiden is attempting to get his jeep over a dirt pile left over fromt he holes daddy Tim dug to put in the posts for the new play structure.

Caiden and Kiwi riding in the jeep. Kiwi loved it but hates riding in our car.

This is my dad waving at me. Sharron stepmom looks shocked but she is used to it. Just pretends to be prim and proper.

Big brother

Grandma and grandpa got Caiden a Super Soaker as a big brother present. Boy is grandma super soaked.
