Gig 'Em Aggies!

We went to the opening game of the season today and watched our Aggies beat the Rice Owls.  It was baby Lexi's first game, too, and I think the cheering and excitement was a bit overwhelming for her.  She had plenty of people willing to hold and love on her, though.  JP went with us and we had the best time together.

Sweet Temptation

I went to get my nails done with mommy today and I love picking out different colors for my toes and feet.  The fun thing I've recently learned is that the nail polishes have fun names so I had narrowed down my choices and then had mommy tell me the names.  I chose a beautiful blue for my toes, "Blue Rhapsody", and a fun spunky pink for my fingers.  When I asked mommy the name, I literally jumped and quickly chose another color.  "Sweet Temptation" was the name and I told mommy that I didn't like temptation.

A new first!

Lexi Jane slept 8 hours last night!  It could be because she was throwing a fit for about an hour and wore herself out, but we'll take it.

First day of 2nd Grade

Today is Tripp's first day of second grade and he is beyond excited because he has his favorite teacher E.V.E.R!  He promised to study hard since he has Mr. Gay and in a few weeks, he'll start switching classes for math and language arts.  He's a very good student, although he likes to give mommy grief from time to time, and really enjoys math over reading.  His reading is getting better every day and we enjoy listening to him read us stories.  He's such a good big brother.

Meet the Teacher

Today was my 'Meet the Teacher' day.  I'll be going 5 days a week and am in the green room with Mrs. Menke and Mrs. Phillips.  Tripp also had them but was in the blue room when he attended.  I think it'll be a great year, especially because I'm in the same class as my best buddy in the whole wide world!  MILLER!

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's......????

Just as much as we're sweet, we're big goofballs, too.  Mommy and Lexi Jane were quietly minding their own business when out of no where they were surrounded by not 1 but 3 masked superheros.  Good to know things are safe around the Riley household!

6 weeks

Lexi is already 6 weeks old and growing like a weed!  She smiles sometimes and last night, she slept 7 hours straight for mommy.  Yeah Lexi!  Mommy kept waking up and checking on her but she was perfectly fine.  I think we need to re-enact the evening everything from clothing mommy and Lexi wore to temperature in the house.  Maybe there can be more 7 hour nights in the near future!
