Riley's Birthday

Well, after many delays...we finally had Riley's Birthday Party.  Even though I think we did it some time in April (when his birthday's at the end of Feb!) it will sit in the right order in the scrapbook...if I ever can get to that point!

Ivy's Art Work

Talent in the fine arts must run in this family...Bridget's a fantastic artist, I'm a pretty good author and Dad's great on both ends of the artistic spectrum!  Well, add another artist to the list...

Ivy's in love with drawing lately.  Everything from 'Toothless' the dragon from "How to Train Your Dragon" to bikes, flowers, birthday cakes...and the list is always expanding.  Now she's learned to write 'love you' from memory and is busy making love posters for everybody.  Here's a few...

After drawing this one, Ivy runs up to me and asks "How write Kim?"

                                 

I asked her for which Grandma this was for and Ivy said both!

I love the 'corrections'  on this one...This was for her Grandpas, but she used the wrong word example and re-wrote Grandma.  I wrote out 'Grandpa' and she looks at me and says, "I got an idea!"  Ivy added the 'p' in front of the first 'a' and then said, "There, all better!"

Don't feel left out if you didn't get one named to you...I'm sure there's more to come!
