A Vision in Pink

We've been busy getting ready for the holidays, but thought we should pause for a moment to share some of our favorite pics from the past couple weeks. Hope everyone is getting into the holiday spirit and doing well!

What is this stuff?

It looks pretty cool.

It IS cool! Riley was too little last year to enjoy the snow, so today was her first real interaction with the white stuff. Needless to say, she loved it!

On the Move

"Helping" to put away groceries. (She managed to empty the contents of the diaper bag and my wallet plus get into the soda in under 20 seconds.)

Little Half Pint wearing daddy's credentials from the Big 12 Championship game. We had to wait until she fell asleep to take them off of her.

Oh no! Shoe Hand!

Riley loves to share!

Giving her dolly its binky.

"Performing" on the Fireplace

Double Fisting the Cheese Sticks (we stole mommy's)

Preparing Thanksgiving Dinner

Checking Out the Plate

There goes dinner!

Aunt Sarah's Engaged!!! Welcome B. Nich!!

There's going to be another Brad in the family! My middle sister Sarah got engaged to another great Brad this past weekend. Our Brad's have really bonded over the past few years over SEC football (Sarah's Brad played for Ole Miss) and their love for the New England Patriots and PBR. We're SO excited that he's OFFICIALLY going to become Uncle Brad.

We also want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy all the tryptophan and football!

Aunt Sarah and Uncle Brad last New Year

Aunt Sarah and Riley last Thanksgiving.

Hangin' with Aunt Sarah in July. According to Grandma Watkins, Riley has the exact same temperament that Aunt Sarah had when she was little--no wonder they get along so great!!

Eatting Mor Chikin

The last couple weeks have been pretty low key for us. We do have a big Watkins family announcement that we'll save for another post. Until then, here are some of our favorite pics:

What a little stinker!

We brought Riley to Chick-fil-A for lunch as a reward for being a very good girl while getting her flu shot. She loves to people watch and even met the Chick-fil-A cow.

S-T-R-E-T-C-H

Already mocking Mommy.

Ta Da!

Up to no good!

Telling her monkey it is time to wake up.

Juggling two animals at once!

Trying to sneak into the pantry.

Already a master of manipulation! It is SO hard to say no to anything with a face like that staring back at me.

Playing peek-a-boo with Daddy.

Little Mommy

We love to steal drinks.

Our new trick is balancing various objects on our head.

Still Crazy!!

Go, Go Riley!

Over the last week or so Riley has really started to take off with her walking. Here is a video of Riley showing off her skills (this is from a few days ago, she's moving at a "trot" now). We also have a few pics of the new ride Riley got from our friends Tom and Erin.

It's Official. Nothing is safe anymore!

Riley LOVES this thing!

Vroom, Vroom!

WHAT is THAT!?!

On the Move

Bouncing on the Couch

Our Little Squirrel Nutkin

Brad decided that Riley had to be a squirrel this year for Halloween. After some searching I opted to modify a skunk pattern to make her squirrel costume and I think it turned out pretty well. Of course, we had to choose a head to toe fur outfit for the year it was nearly 80 degrees on Halloween, but Riley was a good sport and we didn't keep her in the costume for too long. Hope you enjoy the pics of Riley Nutkin and some of her other fun Halloween outfits.

More Birthday Week Fun!

Riley's birthday week was packed full of fun times! Here are a few of them:

We all went to the Chiefs' game against the Titans on Sunday and had a great time dispite the game not going our way.

Riley loves Arrowhead

Check out my new kitty. She meows!

Waiting out the traffic in Daddy's office.

Heading home after the Titans game.

Riley, Grandma W. and I went to the Deanna Rose Farmstead on Monday and had a blast meeting new animals and picking out a pumpkin at Pumpkin Hollow.

On our hayride to "Pumpkin Hollow."

Picking a perfect pumpkin.

What a beautiful butterfly!

Checking out the farmstead with Grandma W.

Weeeeeee!

Riley loved this turtle rocker.

Uncle Bobby would be proud!

We're not too sure about this moo cow.

We love to clap our hands!

Tuesday we went shopping for the perfect wagon. Grandma & Grandpa W and Uncle Bobby hooked Riley up with a sweet ride!

What a cutie pie!

Taking our new wagon out for a test ride.

What's so interesting guys?
