House Updates

The house is really moving along! It is fun going to see it frequently and see how quick it changes. It sure makes us ready to move in now! Here is the front of the house. All the brick and siding is on it.
The fireplace is installed.


When we went today the cabinets, countertops, and appliances were installed. There is our kitchen!
Here's the office. Yesterday they had the french doors up, but they took them down to paint them. If you look hard, you'll notice the trim is up all over the house.

We now have our stair rails.

The cabinets in the bathrooms are in as well.


Riley just wanted in one of the shots, so here she is standing in the spare bedroom.

I'm Going to be a Flower Girl

I am going to be the flower girl in my Uncle Bryan's and Jenny's wedding in June. My dress just came in so I decided to try it on. Don't mind the hair I will try to make it a little more manageable for the big day, but isn't the dress pretty?
I liked it so much I thought I'd wear it while playing. Don't worry Jenny, it's just a water marker it won't draw on anything but the pad on the floor.
Grammy and mommy finally convinced me to take it off.


My Own Style

I have really started to develop my own sense of style. The other day I just wanted to wear this vest. I also got a pair of froggy rain boots that I like to wear even on sunny days. I will get a picture of those soon.

Running Out of Room

After Riley was born, we started to run out of room in our house - now that Tucker is on the way, I'm not the only thing that is busting at the seams. We decided it was time to find a bigger house. We put ours on the market and it sold a lot quicker than expected - which left us in a pickle! Our realtor, whom we love, said it was time to start looking. We have to be out of our house by March 23rd, but unfortunately the house we fell in love with (pictured below) is a work in progress. It will not be done until the first of May (ironic - my due date being May 6th). We decided to make it work. Since I have such a wonderful brother who is in Atlanta for a year, he is letting us borrow his condo for about a month while we await the house and the newest Marvel. A lot of changes for our family, but all exciting! Here are some pics of the new house in Westfield. Enjoy!
The spare bedroom - I won't bore you with the pictures of all the bedrooms. They are all upstairs though.

Here's the loft when you first walk up the stairs. (AKA the future play room)

Here is the kitchen. Can't you picture me cooking in it already? Oh, nevermind I don't cook!

Here is the family room. We are standing in the kitchen taking the picture.

Here's the entry way into the kitchen. To the right of the stairs is the office and the dining room.

This is looking down from the loft onto the entry way. Riley already loves the stairs.

This is looking out the door from the breakfast area to the backyard. Try to picture Riley and Tucker's swingset.

I hope you enjoyed the tour! We'll try to keep you updated as much as possible.


Cousins Visit

My cousins all came up to visit last weekend. We had a great time. Conner and Isaac came up with Uncle Ryan and Aunt Kim and stayed a night at my house. Adam showed up too with Uncle Josh and Aunt Amy. We were really wound up.


Here is Adam playing with my makeup. I think he needs some of his own to play with.

Conner got curious and had to check it out too. Those boys. Don't they have their own trucks or something to play with?

We went bowling on Saturday night. That was my first time. It was fun. Daddy let me bowl a couple of times for him but I really didn't help his score.


Look at the concentration!




Dad's Trip to Miami

Ok, these next 1,000 pictures that my Dad put on here have nothing to do with me. They just show off how good a time he had at the Super Bowl. Hope you enjoy these "non-Riley" pictures.


Ocean drive, day before the Super Bowl.


My Dad's friend, Darren, got them into a Jamie Foxx/Usher party on Saturday night. I don't know who Usher is, but he looks like he has moves. Almost as good as the Imagination Movers!!

Super Bowl Sunday. Sunny day and great people walking Ocean Drive. Like this Colts fan wearing a horse mask.


Creepy!!!




Darren and some funny old guy doing his best Pope impersonation.



My Daddy's seats.




My daddy would have had more fun if I was there.


Here come the Colts!!




Opening Kickoff




My Dad's favorite player, Peyton Manning.



The really cool stage they set up for the halftime show. As you can see, there aren't any more pictures after halftime. I wonder why?





















My February

Here is what happened in February. As you notice, there aren't very many pictures taken of me during this month. Mommy said it's a short month, so there weren't many opportunities. Yeah, right! Looks like my Dad had time to take plenty of pictures in February. He went to the Super Bowl with Darren and unfortunately the Colts lost. That's ok, we'll win it next year.


Sometimes I like to have an audience when I read my books. It must have been a good book because they look very enthralled.


This definitely isn't as comfortable as my bed.



Usual Day at Home

Here I am enjoying a relaxing day at home. I like to play with my kitchen where I can cook, read books, play on my 'puter, take care of my babies, or watch Dad play the Wii.


You like my pigtails!!

I have to do everything my Dad does. If he's on the couch playing Wii, I have to be on the couch. If he's on his knees playing, I'm right there with him.

I love sitting in my pink chair, especially when I have my babies in there with me. Don't we look comfortable?

Working from home today.



Gotta get this report done by end of business today.






Time with the Watson family

Well, it's been a while since my parents have updated my blog. My mommy has been busy with work and being pregnant, so it's hard for her to get on and show me off. But here I am!!! These pictures go all the way back to January.



I had to show Uncle Josh how my laptop works. I love playing on my "puter".

Here is my cousin Adam. He wasn't used to taking care of babies like I am so I had to show him how. He doesn't look too interested does he?

It's hard to imagine he's around 8 months in this picture. He's sooo big!!

Here is Adam playing on the floor. I was probably off playing with Uncle Josh or Aunt Amy.
