Where We've Been

Almost a whole year has gone by without updating anything on my blog so I thought I would do a recap about what each of us in the Riley house has been up to.

CARTER

Soon after we returned home from Hawaii Carter started walking, pretty soon after that he started running. He is a super active little boy.

Carter loves everything about mowing the lawn and if someone will let him he is eager to help.

Carter had his first visit to the zoo.

He realized how much he loves being naked.

Carter loved the 4th of July, the parade with the fire trucks, swimming and fire works.

Before

After

Kade and Brooklin were married in May.

Easter was a new adventure for Carter. He loved opening the eggs and of course eating candy.

Halloween was so fun this year. Brock was a pumpkin, I was a geisha and carter was a gorilla. He loved his costume......


This is pretty much what he did all night.

We went up to Logan for a few football games.

Carter was very sceptical of Santa although he loves pointing to any picture of him and saying "anta".

Another new thing for Carter this past year was Time Out. This is his regular face when he's in time out and you have to control yourself from hugging him or laughing.

Did I mention that he likes lawn mowers? Pam and Jim got him a toy lawn mower for Christmas and he won't go anywhere without it. In this picture I'm reading him a bed time story and he has to have it on his lap the whole time.

BONNIE

In June my sister Katie talked me into going out to Denver to train for a new exercise class. Torie, my parents, me and Carter went out for a weekend. My parents watched Miles, Ava and Carter while me, Torie and Katie trained all weekend. Below are pictures of us posing like we're the professionals when really we could hardly move we were so sore and tired.


These are two of the instructors I teach with at Gold's Gym. We took this picture after our big launch where we did the whole class in the dark.


This past fall I coached the Sophomore volleyball team at Layton High. My girls were so great and loved playing with Carter.

BROCK

Brock is still working on his MBA but will be done this summer, thankfully. He has been working crazy hours and still doing really well with school.

In November, Brock turned the big 30 so we decided paint balling would be a good way to celebrate. Both of our families came and it was a lot of fun...well besides my dad getting hit in the jaw and bleeding. Besides that there were few injuries but it was pretty exciting.

Brock, Pam, Jim, Liza, Tad and Kamden. McCall, Brady, my dad, me and Brady Bodily also played. My mom, Jenn and Reagan went and played with the kids.
