Trip to Texas - Day 5 - Riley's first haircut(trim)

Today was going to be a fun day! We were going to meet Nana, and my Aunt Sharon from Big Spring at the mall and go SHOPPING!!! WOOHOO!!! We are going to try and find Riley and beautiful dress to where when we get her pictures made tomorrow, and then we are going to go and get her hair trimmed for the first time!!! Oh my goodness....my baby is big enough for a hair cut! OMG she is growing up so fast!!! Sigh!! I know she does not have a lot of hair, and she did not NEED a hair cut, but we just wanted to trim off all of the fuzzy baby hair that was on the ends! And now it looks so much better!! I even got some of her little curls that they cut off for her baby book! She was such a big girl, and did a GREAT job!! She was very cooperative and had fun! After shopping we went back to my parents for the night!!

Trip to Texas - Day 4 - Children's Museum

Today we went to the Children's Museum in Houston with Aubree, Jayda, Aunt Holly, Kenadie, Tatum, and my mom! We had not been there since they had remodeled the whole place, and so we thought we should go and check it out, and it was so much fun! Riley was so excited to see her cousins, and they were happy to see how big she had gotten, and they enjoyed showing her around the museum and helping her with everything they could! They had a lot of fun playing together! We only got to stay a couple of hours, because Riley had a doctor's appointment that afternoon, and so Aubree, Jayda, my mom and us went to eat lunch at Panera Bread! That is when all the fun started!! Some how when we were walking into Panera Bread, they key to my mom's suburban came off of the key ring! GREAT!! So we called on star and they were going to bring us another key for the car within the hour! Ok good, but we were going to miss Riley's doctor's appointment, but oh well, we will deal with that later. Then about 2 hours later the guy finally shows up. Yeah, we can go home, because the girls are fading fast being 3pm with NO NAPS!! AHHHHH!!! Oh but wait, it is going to take and hour for the guy to cut the key! Fine, so we had to entertain the girls for another hour and woohoo we made it...let's go home! Oh but wait, it is going to take another hour to program the key!!! AARRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!! We are going CRAZY!!! So finally at 5pm we got a replacement key to the suburban, and we all headed home! It was a CRAZY day! So that evening Aubree invited us over for dinner, and then we put the girls in the bath together, and got them ready for bed! After a long and exhausting day, we both needed each others support to get through the night! Thanks Aubree for being there! Could not have made it without you! The girls had a great time playing in the bath together! They were too cute!!

Trip to Texas - Day 3 - Visiting friends in Sugar Land

Today was a little relaxing! I had a doctor's appointment first thing this morning, and so Riley went next door and played with her BFF Jayda! They had a great time catching up and playing together! After my doctor's appointment I went back and met the girls, and we decided to go and have lunch at Chick-fila and then let the girls play! They had a great time playing together! This was the first time that Riley explored the jungle gym play area at Chick-fila, and she just followed Jayda around, and did whatever she did and went where even she did! Good friends! Then it was nap time! After nap Riley and I went and visited with the Sterns for a little while and the kids played, and then we went and had dinner at the LaFleur's! It was a busy put fun filled day!! It was great to see everyone and catch up, and Riley enjoyed playing with all of her friends!
