Snuggle Up Close!!

This could be the reason why my child are struggling with sleeping in their own beds through the night. They are both love to be snuggled. All three of us fit on the love seat and find it comfortable.

Daddy has helped Brenden fall asleep like this since he has returned home. Now he wants to sleep in our bed all the time.

The days before the rain!

The last few nights before we received all of our rain, we BBQ and have a small fire in our new fire pit. We had lots of wood next to the house so Riley and Ben worked together to move the wood from side of the yard to the other. It was great to see everyone working together. Notice that Riley is wearing mittens. She started to help her dad and stopped because she needed her "gloves" so her hands would not get dirty. Brenden would follow along and met Riley at the loading and un-loading zone and help. He just liked to run and run to keep up with his sister. We had some wonderful nights and evenings. Can't wait for it to happen again.

Brenden flying off to find Riley.

Little Miss Diva

Brenden loves Riley so much that he wants to do EVERYTHING she does!

This is not all bad until it comes to being a DIVA. He wanted to wear "lipstick" (aka lipgloss) just like his sister so Riley helped him out with this task.

Adding rosie colored "lipstick".
Now that Brenden was finished Riley put on her own "lipstick."

So beautiful!! She loves her "lipstick."

Meeting Baby AJ

Riley holding little AJ. It took her a day to warm up to him. She did not want anything to do with him or want mommy to hold the new baby. But after that this is what you would find.

Hugs and kisses.

She loves baby AJ, but did not want to bring him home.

Brenden loved him from the time we walked in the door. He wanted to give AJ his binky all the time. Brenden trying to give AJ his binky.

When Aunt Meme was holding AJ, Brenden would walk up to Meme and say, "Kiss it, kiss it, kiss it" until he was able to place a kiss on AJ. So his name was "IT". Riley noticed this too and asked if we could call AJ "Baby IT". We all laughed and said that we should call him AJ.

Riley holding little AJ.

She was a huge help to Aunt Meme. She helped her with anything and everything.

I asked if we could take him home and it was still a big NO!!

"We already have one named Brenden. I want a girl one."
