Riley's 2nd Birthday!

I can't believe my "baby" is now 2 years old. Josh and i are so proud of her. She is such a smart, cute, sweet and crazy little girl. I don't know what life would be like without her anymore. She truely is loved by Josh, me, and the rest of her enormous family. I can make a list a few miles long of all the things she can do and that we are so proud to show off, but being a mom of two now has completely exhuasted me, i hate to admit, so instead of a super long list i'm going to share just a few things that she's done lately that has impressed and cracked us up!
this morning she came in to wake me up-after letting me sleep in an extra 30 min :) and i sat up in bed to feed braden. She said "don't take a nap mommy" aww-i must sleep too much for her likeing.
I drew a picture of a pumpkin and she kept saying "apple" and i kept politely correcting her and she finally said "say apple mommy" so i did and she said "yes, you are right" haha!
too bad, my brain is fried right now! she says so much funny stuff and i can't think of a darn thing.

Awesome chalk board, dry erase on the opposit side, from my dad and his wife. What a great gift!
Josh made this incredible cake! We asked riley what kind of cake she wanted the day of her party and she came up with a "cinderella cake" somehow, so daddy built one!

My brother absolutely SPOILS riley every chance he gets-past presents: barbie quad and jump and spin horse thing...he really does keep setting the bar higher and higher for himself. This year he got her a BOUNCE HOUSE! ya like the ones people rent out for parties, but smaller. i can just barely fit it in our front entry way, so it's perfect for days i don't want to take it outisde.

This is my brother, the spoiler, Matt, first time holding Braden :)

Close up of the amazing cake!
