Riley is saying “Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeee” and blowing kisses! She just yesterday picked up on “Jackie” and is calling EVERYONE “Jackie” ;o) … her vocabulary is just exploding! She’s communicating as well as the other girls (maybe not with all words but plainly enough there is no need for interpretation!).

Love, Mommy

1 cup of water 1 tsp baking soda 1 cup of sugar 1 tsp salt 1 cup of brown sugar 4 large eggs 1 cup nuts 2 cups of dried fruit 1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila Sample the Cuervo to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo again, to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one peastoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it’s best to make sure the Cuervo is still ok, try another cup just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the frigging fruit off the floor. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaters just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Who geeves a sheet. Check the Jose Cuervo. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven.. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don’t forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the wishdasher. Cherry Mistmas !

I have always loved this photo.

Riley is sick this week with a nasty, nasty bug. She was pretty fussy so Jackie asked for a banana and held it up to her ear. Then she looked at Riley and said, “Hello? Is anybody there? I can hear you!” Then she looked at us and said, “It’s working! She likes it!”.

We thought she was just being her silly self, but she was trying to make Riley feel better. So cute!!

Katie & Jackie love dressing Riley up as a princess. You can’t see the bouquet of flowers in her hand. She is perfectly content wearing the princess crown for hours.

Evidently, when you’re kid #3, you have to learn to fend for yourself.

I held up my iPhone to take a picture of Riley, said her name, and when she turned to look at me she gave me a toothy grin and said, “Cheeeeeeese!” Unfortunately, I was too shocked to actually take the picture.

Most Sundays, after church, you’ll find us sitting in this booth at Antonio’s. http://www.yelp.com/biz/antonios-tex-mex-austin-2

The staff is awesome, the food is tasty, and the memories are rich.
