Rileys first Race

Nascar is in town this weekend, which is my hubby's favorite hobby!
He decided Friday about noon that it would be fun to take Riley for the qualifying and truck races! So Pop Pop, Mike and Riley were off to the Races!
Mike said Riley did great! He listened, and they had to walk 3 miles!


Michael said at first Riley was upset because it was cold and to loud! But once he got the noisefree headset he was good to go! He does look pretty cute in them!
They had to walk 3 miles back to the car, and he slept over an hour in the truck on the way home, I was at work, but bright and early in the morning he was so excited to tell me all about his first race. :)

I wonder what he is thinking in this picture! what a dorky face lol, But I am so glad he had such a great time!

Chew chew cookies

Riley and I made Train cookies tonight!
We were at walmart and I saw the Train set of cookie cutters, and since my entire cookie cutter collection entales a star, a snowman, and a weird shape I really dont know what its suppose to be... I thought this is one we would use allot with my little train fanatic!


Can you see all the crap on my counter!! Pregnancy has made me lazy and tired.. easier to scoot things, wipe it down and hope I get to it tomorrow :)

Riley was sooo excited! He didnt even argue when I asked him to pick up his toys first! He did a good job! Although I was running short on patience today, it was fun :) and he looked pretty cute with flower all over him.



He was proud of himself and enjoyed sprinkling sugar on the cookies..

Hmmm. not sure why they all look like blobs after they bake.. or riley said most of them looked like Hippo's They were quite tastey!


& Amy I NEED those baking pans! Mine are horrible!!! Maybe I will put some on my Christmas list :) to bad mike doesnt read my blog.

Oragano's, then grounded!

We went to Oragano's last week for Emily and Gene's birthday :)

We had a party of 10, and I hate when they cant seat us all together , so we had to be at 2 different booths, back to back. right next to the kitchen! ,... loud kitchen,

We got to seat right when we got there! which is a first for me. The food took over an hour though. sooooooo there was waiting, it was good though :)

& all the portions are HUGE!

Riley didnt listen the whole time, he was bouncing around, climbing over the seats, being loud, not eating his dinner, Mike wasnt feeling good, by about 30 mins in I had a horrible headache and was ready to leave.

The "child" would not listen to us at all. & that is nor normal for him, usually he is such a great kid!

You can even see in this picture.. he is being... difficult.. and sneaky..

So when we got in the truck to come home, we had a long time.. and this was the first time.. He is officially GROUNDED.. No computer games for the rest of the night! and he was only allowed to play in one room. No snacks, and no soda of anykind for he rest of the night.

he was so upset! and I know he really felt bad about it because he kept saying "im so so sorry for not listening to you" I'll never get grounded again" he fell asleep on the way home, and when michael picked him up to bring him inside he woke up all sad, and said "fadder im so sorry i didnt listen" :( It made us sad, but he did so good the rest of the night, and in the morning he jumped out of bed, and asked if he could play computer games today! :) So we made it, he has been pretty good ever sense, and I hope we dont have to ground him again for a very long time!

I cant imagine when he gets older, and the punishments get worse. how hard that will be..
