Gianna's 1st Birthday

On August 13th Riley's cousin Gianna turned 1!  She had a party at her house in her HUGE yard.  Riley loved the bin of balls and playing in the water!  She had a great time wishing her sweet cousin a happy first birthday!


Make a wish!


Gianna is learning from her mom how to blow out the candle.


Yum!


Kid Pools




They had the biggest bounce/water slide that I have ever seen.  So big that man and his son went down together!


Aunt Bec let Riley play in the water at the bottom of the water slide.






Riley's classic smile!

I had my friend Tiffany take some pictures of Riley while Kenten was in India.  She did a GREAT job capturing her as she moved around all over the park!  Thank you, Tiffany!

Riley's 1st Birthday

A year went by so fast!  Just this time last year Kenten and I were coming home from the hospital with a precious little girl who slept a lot and needed to eat a lot.  Now we still have a precious little girl who still likes to eat, but she also like to move around all over the place.  She loves to get into things and be where all the people are.  It has been so much fun to watch her grow these past 12 months.  Riley Grace is full of life and joy - we give all the thanks to Jesus for giving us a beautiful little girl! 


kenten worked hard on these adorable party favors



I hand stitched this whole banner for Riley.  I call it my labor of love.  Too bad the details go unnoticed because it's so windy, and I used yellow thread on the letters and border. :)
