community policing

our neighbor randy works for the hillsboro police department and we saw tonight that he had his squad car at the house. So after dinner we headed next door to let riley check it out...since the little guy loves cars! Randy turned the lights on for him...and he even got to talk over the cars PA system!he had a great time checking it out as you can tell by the big smile on his face! thanks randy for letting us play in your car!

a morning at the zoo!

I know I already have a post about us at the zoo.but we had such a great time this morning and got some great pictures..I just had to share. the polar bears were giving us quite a show the lorakeets were very hungery..riley wanted so bad to pet them! the giraffe was looking out the window at all of us...so here are some fun pictures..enjoy

my little cheese ball!

Ducks!

this morning was beautiful! so we ventured over to dawsons creek..which is over by davids work..to feed the ducks! it was so much fun. Riley would laugh everytime the ducks chased each other. we walked around the pond and checked out the water fall and the pretty flowers. It felt so good to be outside in the sunshine! riley loved going over and under in the bike rack!

beach weekend!

Last weekend we headed down to manzanita with our good friends Karin, dave and their daughter linnea ( we missed lars, but hope he had a great time on his weekend adventure with a freind!) . It was soo nice to get out of town. We left friday and came home on sunday. On saturday we celebrated Dave's (karin's dave :0) ) 40th birthday! On sunday we woke up to some very stormy weather. this was rileys 3rd trip to the beach, and the first time he touched the sand. he didnt like very much. but he wasnt in the best of moods at th time either. here are a few pictures:
thanks dave and karin for a great relaxing weekend and inviting us to go!

Riley's favorite thing!

One of riley's most favorite things to do these days is to go to grandmas and play with her doggies jade and hannah. He likes to use the "chuck it" to throw the ball for the dogs and the laughs and giggles. he thinks it is soo funny!

easter bunny!

On tuesday I decided to take riley to see the easter bunny over at the all. I was a little worried..just because of our experience with santa. But I was soo suprised! he loved him! he had a hard time waiting for his tuen...he wanted to go right over!

It amazes me everytime we do things like this how expensive they are now! whatever happened to the 5.00 poloroid we got when we were little? While we were at the mall I decided to walk in an effort to wear out my little man. everytime we would walk by a store that was playing loud music he had to stop right outside and dance.
