Blessed!

Also, this past weekend we were blessed to be able to have many family and friends attend Riley's baptism.  It was such a beautiful morning!  Thanks to everyone who took time to come be a part of Riley's special day!

Allison & Kenny's Wedding

This past weekend was Allison (Kyle's cousin) and Kenny's wedding.  Riley was the ring bearer and Kyle was an usher.  It was such a beautiful day for a beautiful bride! 

  

CONGRATS TO THE NEW MARRIED COUPLE!

Choo Choo Johnny's

Amber and Colt were just here for 2 weeks and we had so much fun!!  We got to celebrate Colt's 3rd Birthday.  Kyle and I had talked about taking Riley to Choo Choo Johnny's, but had not made it.  It was the perfect place to take these two little ones!!  They had such a great time and we will probably be back in the near future!

HIVES!

As most of you know, we have been dealing with hives since mid December.  We have seen Riley's pediatrician, a dermatologist, and an allergist at the Children's hospital in Chicago.  In the end.....it is just something that we hope he grows out of.  He is on medicine in the morning and night to keep the hives manageable and Riley happy.  But before we could get up to the Children's hospital to figure this out, we had to have him off his medicine for 5 days.....we didn't make it without some benadryl.  It was a long weekend and we felt so bad for the little man!  Here are some pictures of what he went through that weekend.

He may look happy, but BELIEVE me.....he was NOT!

Cool Dude!

Riley wanted to go outside and play in the sand and he said it was sunny and he needed his sun glasses.  And I told him he needed to wear his hat too!

I love how I can finally get him to smile....all I have to say is "show me your teeth!"

Tara

Yup....he had a good time!

Every year we head to Bloomington for golf weekend.  Riley gets to go with for the fun weekend and gets to spend Saturday at the pool.  We spent the morning with my good friend Amy and then headed to the pool to visit.  Riley was in and out of the pool at least 4 different times!!  And with no nap he couldn't make it back to the hotel without falling asleep.

On Sunday Riley got to spend the morning with Colleen and her two kids who just loved playing with Riley!!  It was his first time at their house and he didn't even hesitate to walk right in and help himself to their toys!  Can't wait until next year!
