Pacers vs Lakers

So this was from a month ago but who cares :) Tony had mentioned to my parents that his two favorite NBA teams were the Pacers and Lakers and he really wanted to go see them play. Well of course they had to take him! It just so happened to be Indianapolis Motor Speedway night so I got really good tickets for super cheap for them. Well he had to have a Kobe Bryant jersey so I found one for a great deal and off they went :) He had a blast until the last couple of seconds with the Pacers scored and won by just a couple of points. My Mom still laughs when she talks about how angry he got. I guess he took his jersey off and threw it in the chair and didn't say a word the rest of the night. Tony wasn't to happy that my Mom was cheering for the Pacer's :) He can laugh about it now, we were actually talking about it tonight, but boy was he mad. We are trying to help teach him life doesn't always go the way you want it but you can't get so angry about it! Sometime I need to take my own advice :)

She sure is growing fast!

I now eat my toes along with my hands!

What have you done to my hair!?!

Yummy!

Laughing at her brother!

Riley sure is growing up fast. At times I can't wait for her first words or even the first real belly laugh. Then I realize that it will all come soon enough and I should just enjoy she now as she is. She is such a happy baby and most of the time is either talking or smiling at you. She loves the dog and her big brother, they are the most amazing things to her right now. Tony can walk into a room and she starts smiling. She is happiest with only a diaper on :) She is getting so big and I look forward to what life will bring us but we cherish each day with not only Riley but Tony as well. He is going to be driving before we know it and is becoming such a great kid right before our eyes. Where does time go?

What a messy eater!

On New Year's Eve we started Riley on cereal! It was quite the experiment to see how she would do. Her doctor told us to take it slow at first and just let her get use to new things in her mouth. Well, I laughed the entire time because what went in the mouth came right back out. She is getting a little better with cereal but we won't be introducing any more foods anytime soon :)

9 Years OLD!!!

Anthony is the big 9 years old day! Since we had already had his birthday party we celebrated just the four of us at home with crab legs, cake, and homemade ice cream. Sounds yummy right? Crab legs are Tony's favorite so that is what we had! Ron and I decorated the house last night, a tradition, and of course Anthony was surprised like usual this morning. Anthony made out like a bandit like he always does :) Pokemon cards, Skin it's for his Ipod, sea monkeys, Pokemon books, a big book of boys stuff, a backyard football target, a cool basketball, and Mario kart for the Wii! I think the kid had a pretty good day.

Not to take away from Anthony's day but we had a great friend leave us today to go serve our country. If you all could keep Danny Weaks in your prayers we would greatly appreciate it!!! We all miss hims already and he just left today. Ron and I were talking last night about him and his wife and how hard it must be. I can't imagine what all his family is going through and the sacrifices they have all made for us and our country.

Colts = Major Let down

We were all ready for the Colt's wild card game last night. We took our showers early got in our Colt's pajamas my Mom and Dad got us for Christmas and was ready to go! Too bad the team forgot to show up and played horrible. I thought Tony was going to cry when the game was over. Well, there is always next year! What do we do on Sundays now?!? No racing or football, hum.....it sure is going to be boring around here!

Anthony's 9th Birthday Party!

Today we had Anthony's 9th birthday party at Rock N Rollers in Avon. This was Anthony's first "real" birthday party that wasn't at our house. We all had a blast. We all might be really sore tomorrow but we had fun skating. We had to pull Anthony away from the video games to skate but he eventually ran out of money. He said this was the coolest birthday ever :) Ron and I are both exhausted, but we know Anthony had fun and that is all that matters!

Look who is 4 months old!

Riley turned 4 months old today!! She had her 4 month checkup appointment today as well. She weighs 11 pounds and is 24 inches long. She is still a very small baby but growing consistently so that is all that matters! We get to start solids this week! She got her second round of shots and did not like them, she is fine now, what a trooper :)
