MOAB

Last weekend Case and of a couple of his work friends ran a half marathon in Moab.
It was a nice weekend getway. We left Riley with my parents for the weekend (they were pretty brave for doing this for us, knowing they wouldn't get much sleep and that Riley is all over the place, But they said it would be fine.)
The race wasn't until Sunday morning, so while we were down there we decided to go camping for a few nights and explore the town.
Friday night we just set up camp and hung out with our friends. Saturday mornnig we had to go get the runner's packet with everything they needed and what to do the day of the race and then we went to go hike Arches. It was so nice down there, the weather was perfect
.

Sunday morning the runners got up bright and early and headed up to the race so they could be ready by 8:30 AM and the rest of us slept in and met them up there.
There were so many people up in the canyon, we were hoping we would be able to see everyone cross the finsih line. As our shuttle bus was driving up to the race, I could see Case running, we rolled down the windows of the shuttle and cheered Case on to the finish line. As soon as the bus stopped, I ran so I could get some pictures and see him cross the finish line. He finished the race in 1 hour and 50 mins. I was so excited for him. I couldn't do that. 13.1 miles. That is crazy, but he loves to run. Good Job Case!


It was a fun weekend with Case's friends.

Riley Boy is 8 Months!

Riley is growing so fast! Just with in a month he has learned so much.

He has learned how to climb up stairs at grandma's house, pull him self up on furniture, and making all kind of new noises. He loves to play in the tub and tries to grab the water when it is coming out of the faucet. His new favorite toy is behind the door, he plays with the door stopper. He likes the noise it makes when you move it. He likes to play peek-a-boo. He has a new face he makes, whenever he is being shy he puts his face down or if he has his blanket he will put his face in the blanket. He loves to have the attention on him.

Also, he likes to pull your hair. Today my hair was down and he used my hair to pull himself up. OUCH! It hurt. I always tell myself to pull it up, but I never do.

He doesn't like his diaper changed at all, he squirms all over and throws a fit, it is the same way when I try to dress him, he would just rather run around naked.
Just recently he has discovered his "boy part" whenever I change his diaper he always reaches down and grabs "it." He thinks its pretty funny. When he takes a bath, he plays with "it" and gets the biggest smile.

He is learning to eat more "real food". Whenever we eat, he opens his mouth to see if we will give him some food. (Just like a little bird) His favorite is ice cream. Ever since his grandpa gave him a taste, he has loved it since. The other day I gave him a taste of some ice cream, and he took the whole thing and started eating the ice cream cone.

Riley is such a sweet boy! He is starting to cuddle with you, when you hold him. We love him so much. He brings such joy in our family. He makes us laugh all the time.
