Riley's bike

Riley got a bike for Easter and was so excited to use it that she drove it around the kitchen for days until it was nice outside. We finally got to go outside and Riley was a little bit scared. Every time that was a SLIGHT inclination she would start screaming. Then there is this small hill on the walking path that she was terrified to go down and so I told her that she could just get off the bike and walk down it. Well, she stopped almost 3 blocks before the hill and started walking because she was nervous about the upcoming hill. Nothing I could say could convince her to get back on the bike and ride it until we actually got to the hill. So, we walked for 3 blocks and then she got back on. After the bike ride we decided that the seat needed to be lowered and now she is doing much better.

Easter

Riley was a little bit confused at first because she thought that she could only find the eggs that we brought to the hunt. After Ryan told her that she could just get any egg then she started doing better.

Shelby couldn't decided if she wanted to eat it now or look for more eggs.

Fun with the cousins

All the kids decided to go outside and play. It didn't last too long though since the temperature was in the 40s. This was so funny. I just got done feeding Shelby and I looked over and Brad was feeding Shelby off of his tray. She, of course, was all for it because she was getting food.

This is everyone dying Easter eggs. We also did it this year with ties and they turned out pretty cool thanks to Rachel B.

Riley and Mac got to ride with Travis on the way to Grandma McAllister's house. They were so excited. Rachel said that she looked back one time and they were holding hands. Cute!

All the kids with their birds nest.

This is chinese noodles and marshmellows with chocolate and butterscotch
chips. Then jelly beans for the eggs and peeps for the bird. Very creative and yummy!

The kids played dress up and Riley decided to try on my out dance custom. It was pretty funny.

Riley and Avie. They are almost exactly one year apart. It is amazing what happens in one year!

Riley's hair

This is Riley after she decided to cut her own hair. I don't know if you can tell but the entire side is a lot shorter. THere are some parts that are less than an inch short. My idea of leaving it long enough to fit in a pony tail is over. We asked her why she cut her hair and she said, "to make my hair pretty."

This is Riley's hair after her haircut. I cut about 7 inches off. I thought that it looked so cute. I didn't want to cut it too short because then I couldn't put it in a ponytail. Well, that idea didn't work. I am thinking of cutting it even shorter.
