Weekend Trip

This weekend we headed to NC to visit everyone! We were celebrating Mommy's Birthday, since it is in the middle of the week! On our trip down I slept for the first 3 hours which made mommy and daddy very happy. When I woke up though, I was ready to move and be free...so we made a pitstop in Chapel Hill. Daddy kept telling me that this is where I was going to school when I was old enough, and that he was going to have to move there with me. My Daddy is a funny man! So while we were there we went to one of Mommy's favorite places called the Yogurt Pump, and let me tell you it was so yummy. Then we walked around for a few minutes and we went to buy a Carolina T-Shirt for Daddy and Mommy and myself. Don't I look cute...


Then it was time to get back in the car...not a happy thing for me. We managed to make it in time for dinner, but needless to say, I was ready to be out of that car!
We did all kinds of fun things while we were visiting my MawMaw and PawPaw (these names are yet to be determined!!!) On Saturday, we went to Emily's softball game. I hope one day she can show me how to play.




While Emily was playing, I was discovering the pavement! Mommy and Daddy were trying to help me so I would not end up with hurt knees. I did a pretty good job!



After the game, we went to MawMaw and PawPaw's house and I took a nice long nap! I felt so refreshed afterwards and that was a good thing because we were having a party on Saturday night for my Mommy! More to come later!

Baby Stellan

For all of those who are blog stalkers like we ourselves have become...Please keep Baby Stellan in your prayers today! He is undergoing heart surgery as I type this! We plan to wear orange today to show the world that we will continue to pray for Stellan and for the doctors involved!

Happy Easter 2009

Easter was such a fun and exciting day. First we got dressed to go to Church (Nana bought me this special Easter outfit). Here I am on the front porch.





And then I wanted to give my Mommy a special Easter kiss



After Church it was time to go join family and friends at my Nana & Pop Pop's house.

It was a beautiful day so we wanted to get some pictures on the front porch.





And more pictures inside



Then it was time to open up my special Easter Basket and play Peek-a-Boo with my new book.

Where's Peyton????


There he is



Here is one of Daddy's favorite pictures. The funny story behind this picture is that Daddy used to sit just like this when he was young.



As the day went on, smiling was harder and harder. Here I was with my cousins Cole and Bailey, but without a smile.



And then it was time to go Easter Egg Hunting. Carlee, Cole & I had such a fun time finding the eggs.







I hope you had a great Easter also

Happy Birthday to Cole!!

Happy Birthday to my best buddy Cole!

Today is Cole's 3rd Birthday and we are going over to help him celebrate tonight! We love you!

Peyton Walking

Peyton started walking last Sunday. This weekend he started taking multiple steps. Here is some video of him showing Nana what he can do! You can also hear him saying "Dog" or what we believe is him saying dog! Enjoy!

Big News!!!

Yesterday was a very exciting day for the Riley household! My mommy and daddy actually made it out of bed and decided that we needed to go to church! So, off we went to the church in Ghent where mommy and daddy have gone a few times...and even fewer since I have been here! I was a very good boy during the service. I just sat and looked at all of the new people and ate some cheerios...and they were yummy! Mommy decided to give me something new last week so we have been having cheerios and I LOVE THOSE THINGS!! But, back to our day. We got home and I decided that I was not going to take a nap, which did not make my mommy and daddy very happy, seeing that my daddy had some work he needed to get done! We played most of the afternoon, like normal and daddy did his work...then went out and enjoyed the weather!!! It was beautiful here and now we seriously have spring fever!!! So, on to the BIG NEWS...after dinner we were hanging out in the living room and I was wanting to sit with my mommy because I was so darn tired. My daddy was trying to distract me by playing ball with me, so I turned around let go of the couch and.....I TOOK MY FIRST STEP!!!!

Mommy and Daddy could hardly believe it, but it happened, so now I am just trying to master taking steps! Look out world...here I come!!!

URGENT REQUEST: Pray for Stellan

Stellan, MckMama's youngest baby, is back in the hospital and needs our Prayers more than ever.
