1st Field Trip @ School- Walden Farm Pumpkin Patch 2010

Rileigh was so excited that she got to go on a field trip at school today (okay so was mommy!!!!) We got to start off our special day with us eating lunch with them at school! I decided since it was such a special day that I would surprise Rileigh with a special lunch....Happy Meal from McDonald's instead of her boring PBJ!!!!! She loved it, I really think she loved the Strawberry Short Cake toy more than anything!!!!

After lunch we all piled in our cars and headed out to Walden Farm Pumpkin Patch in Smyrna! We started off going through a hay maze, the kids loved it they got to go through it on their own. They all thought they were big stuff!!!! Then we got to go on a hay ride, on our hay ride we saw some really cute pony's of course Rileigh LOVED that!!!! They had a couple animals to see....baby cows (they were so cute), pigs, and chickens. Then our group leader read them a book about how Pumpkins are grown and they got to go pick out any pumpkin they wanted! Rileigh grab the 1st one she came across!!!!! She wasn't interested in "searching" for the perfect one! She was very proud of her pumpkin, in her eyes it was the perfect one!!!! After all the kids got their pumpkins they got to go through a corn maze! Now this one the adults did go through it with them! Us mom's were joking around saying wonder what the kids would do if they got to go through this on their own...we would probably still be looking for them!!!!

It was such a fun day!!! We couldn't of asked for better weather! Usually at this point I am posting some pictures of the day....well....I got to the pumpkin patch took the camera out to start clicking away..... and I forgot my camera card at home :-( Thank goodness all of us mom's get along so well and they all said they would take plenty of pictures of Rileigh for me and send them to me so as soon as I get them I will post them!!!! Hopefully someone got a cute group shot of the class, they all looked so cute with there matching shirts they made!!!!

Thanks Miss Jennifer and Miss Heather for putting this together for us!!!! We love our teachers this year- they are the best!!!!

3 year check up...

Weight: 33lbs
Height: 39 inches


Her biggest milestones so far is learning how to spell her name! I thought she would have a hard time since it's not an easy name to spell, but we made a song out of it and within no time she had it down!!!!

She has learn to count to 10 in Spanish (thank you Dora)! Of course she amazes us everyday with her vocabulary!

Downsides to 3: Thinks she knows it all!!! She is a very independent girl who thinks she's always right! One day I will be thankful she is a very strong will, independent girl who can hold her own but right now I wish I could have my sweet Rileigh!!!! She is very sassy when talking, let's hope this stage goes by quick!!!!!

No matter what we love and cherish every minute we get with her!!! Her smiles, the "I love you" melts our hearts every time!!!! I can't get enough kisses and hugs from her! Love you baby girl!!!!

3 Year Pictures!

Here they are....Rileigh's 3 year pictures! This year we took them at a park on the lake! Love, Love, Love the way the turned out(Thank you Shannan)!!! Rileigh was so good, she would actually pose & smile this year!!!!!! (unlike last year when poor Shannan just chased her around and snapped!!!!) These are just a few of the many wonderful shots we captured of her!!!!!

Samson came with his mommy so of course we had to snap a few of them together!!! They love each other so much it's unreal! We always joke around saying when they get married will have all these photo's of them when they were young!!!hehehe






And here are some fun shots of her being silly!

Im in my Big Girl Bed!!!!

Right after Rileigh's 3yr birthday we started talking to her about her big girl bed. At 1st she was totally against it, she said monsters could get her in that bed she wanted to stay in her crib!!! Then I decided one day to ask her if she wanted me to move her toddler bed into her bedroom and take naps on it, she was ALL for this! She wanted it in the middle of the room! When she woke up from her nap that day she said "mommy, I don't ever want to sleep in my crib again, it's for babies"! Ever since then she's been sleeping in her bed all night long :-)!! I did talk her into moving it from the middle of the room next to a wall!
We thought we would be smart and just move her crib to the side just in case the bed thing didn't work out. Once we knew it was going to be okay we thought we would try and take it out...OH NO that wasn't happening!!! She started crying saying "I need my little girl bed back" we figured out she doesn't want to sleep in it, she just wants it in her room!!!! So for now it will stay in there until she tells us she wants it out!!!!! Baby steps right?!?!?!?!
