She has a Sense of Humor

The other day at dinner, Riley looked at Grandpa with this expression on her face. He, of course, burst out laughing. She, in return, laughed too. This went on for a few minutes. She often does this when she wants to make us smile. If that's not enough, she also does Zirberts. She started doing them on my arm to make Eli laugh. Now she does it on my cheek, Daddy's chest and any other surface to make a noise. My favorite part is when she laughs in return because she knows she is cute.

Miss Patient

I was feeding Riley bananas and she sat there, patiently folding her hands as I was helping her brother. When I came back, she had no complaint for more food. She was hungry, but she was just mellow.

Playdate from Arizona

Corwin, Sophie and Sherstin came to visit on Labor Day. Eli and Corwin had a great time, eventhough Corwin didn't fight with a lightsaber. They mostly played with Cars Cars and trucks. Here are some photos of their visit.
Corwin had sand in his eye.
All of them rearranged Grandpa's chess board.
Sophie was just plain cute. She really liked the fruit from Grandpa's trees. She called them peaches, even though they were nectarines.

Grandma Sibyl's Temple

I blogged this yesterday: Grandma Sibyl's Temple.

Summer Time Popsicles

Summer time is great, especially with popsicles for kids. Riley and Eli are no exception. Eli was so sweet to share with his sister and to help her with her popsicle.

Before Eli came along, I gave it to Riley and had to keep cutting the end of the wrapper in order for her to get to any of the sweet treat.

While Eli was helping her, she spilled some and it landed on her tray. Good thing Eli was there to lick it up. Riley repaid the nice gesture by playing with his hair with sticky fingers. We had a bath afterwords. Grandma and Grandpa just enjoyed their tenants with sore sides from laughing.

Crash 1.5

Eli was playing with the fan, seen below him and all of the sudden, he just laid down and fell asleep.  It was so unlike him, that I had to take a picture.

Drag Racing

Eli, Jared and I went to a truck drag racing. We were given tickets by our neighbors.   Eli fell asleep in the car just before, so he was a little cranky when it came time to watch the race. After a while, he started to have a great time, until his attention span ran out.
