Oh yes we did!

So much has been happening lately and I don't update nearly enough!  Where to start?  Sheesh.  Guess I'll go based on a timeline.  John's 32nd birthday was in May. I made sure to put 32 candles on that cake! I may have burnt my hands a few times. lol








Victoria graduated preschool (again)!  Of course my kid is the one making sure everyone is looking at her.  :)  She'll finally be off to Kindergarten this September and she's really excited about it. 

Mikayla just tested for her 2nd degree Orange belt in Tae Kwon doe.  I must explain this here:  the place is called "Karate for Kids" so I thought I was putting Mikayla into karate.  Well, they actually teach Tae Kwon doe and the belts for Tae Kwon doe are a little different than Karate.  They start with a white belt and then go to orange belt, then it is yellow belt.  In Karate the yellow belt is before the orange belt.  Confusing I know.  So if I say Mikayla has an orange belt in karate I actually mean she has it in Tae Kwon Doe.  :)  She's really proud of herself (me too). 

Which brings me to my birthday...which isn't until Tuesday but I got a present I'm really excited about.  I finally got a dog I've been wanting forever.  He's a Silver Terrier Yorkie mix and his name is Jasper!  He's smaller than Trinity!  He's the cutest thing ever!  The kids love him.  He's six months old, potty trained, and loves to cuddle.  Yay for Jasper...my birthday present to me...I'm so happy!

Angry Birds

As many of you already know our third daughter was born recently. Her name is Trinity Kali Riley and she's awesome! This I know because she's spawn of me. :) Just like my other two girls she was born to drink milk. I feel for the cows that must sacrifice so much for my children. In fact, we might save money by buying a cow of our own.

Since her birth the kids have mostly been left to entertain themselves although it's proved to actually be very entertaining for me as well. Victoria loves to steal my ipad and play angry birds (which she's quite good at actually) ...and well, this video explains it all.


As for Mikayla, she is now an orange belt in karate! She's been doing awesome and she's only 3! Watch out because she can throw a good punch. It's adorable to watch but lethal if you get in the way. So there's a quick update from the Rileys... love you all. :)
