Riley made this hat at day care and loved it so much she would put it on whenever she got home.
Sunday morning we decided to go to our favorite breakfast restaurant. Of course, Riley had a complete meltdown as she was wanting to wear her "Purple" boots, not the brown ones I had put on her. It was a huge fight to get her out the door, but luckily we did. On the drive, Jason is feeling proud as his little girl is wearing her Seahawks (he calls it Seagals) dress, he is wearing his jersey, and all is well in the world.Then we get to the restaurant. Unbeknownst to us, Riley had confiscated a purple marker from home and had been busy the whole drive to the restaurant making her nice new brown boots the color -- you guessed it -- purple! Yep, that's right. While waiting for our table, Riley said, "Look mama, purple boots."

1. Boil pasta until el dente
2. Add one purple crayola crayon
3. Attempt to retrieve before crayola melts.
(Yes, Riley Roo loves throwing things and tossed the crayon in the pasta! Funny now, however, not so funny at the time as I have a very small window to do dinner before Jason has to leave for class!)
We had a great time over Jason's birthday! We went to Leavenworth and met Jason's parents, Uncle Jermy (as riley calls him) and Aunt Val. What a great fun town. The fish hatchery had "Salmon Fest days" and Jason ran in a small marathon there. Wow - the hatchery there put on a very impressive festival. I hope my dad can go next year as I think he would really enjoy seeing it.
We also went to this pumpkin patch where there was a petting zoo, play area, and a great farm with many yummy things!
Leavenworth is a pretty impressive little town with tons of character! There is something to see and do at every corner - literally
What a great game!! Riley did "okay" during the first and second quarter, started to get very difficult in the third quarter, and luckily went to sleep in the last quarter. Yeah! The Quest Stadium is really amazing and we had a great time. We had a tailgate party before the game started which was also pretty fun. I think all in all Riley enjoyed her first football game. When she watches football with Jason, she looks at him, looks back at the television screen, then starts yelling at the TV, just like her daddy is.
Riley cracked us up on the plane. We were on our way home from New York and had just gotten on the plane. Riley wanted to breast feed so bad and I kept telling her, "As soon as everyone sits down." Riley stood up on my lap, faced the back of the plane and yelled several times, "Siiiit dooooown!"
Riley absolutely loved the airplane. When we were at the airport she insisted on standing by the glass windows so she could watch the planes. When she saw one she would get so excited and start yelling, "Airmane, Airmane, Airmane," and it's continued since we have been home. She will all of a sudden yell it in the car and Jason and I are, like, "There's no plane, honey." And then, what do you know, there really is a plane. She can spot a plane like you wouldn't believe!
Unfortunately, most of the pics of the family reunion were taken with my parents camera. It's a Z612 Kodak and I fell in love with it! It's amazing. Anyway, I was taking pics like mad with this camera and realized, "Hey, I hardly have any pics" when I got home! Ugh! So I will have to blog the reunion later.
Yes, Riley is a Jamba Juice Junkie! She absolutely loves Jamba juice, particularly the Berry-fulfilling! It's rare to find a food that Riley really enjoys, so it's pretty funny to us to see her actually enjoying a food item sooo much. Yesterday I ordered a 16 oz. for me. Jamba Juice does something so cool, and that is they take some of mine from the 16 oz. and put it in a little cup with a little straw for the kids. This makes Riley feel like such a big girl and I don't have to listen to her saying, "Mine, mine, mine!" (Her favorite new word) Riley wraps her lips around the straw and drinks it down. It reminds me of the old Nestle Quick commercials where they drink the glass of chocolate milk down with one suck of the straw! I actually had to give her the rest of mine because she finished hers and was very persistent in saying more. Oh, well, it's a good way to cut down on calories for me!
This was Riley's "first" Halloween evening. We ended up going to the Everett Mall where she trick-or-treated. It was interesting to watch her. She didn't understand why people were putting candy in her bucket at first, but when she did, she didn't want to eat any of the candy and wanted to keep going to the different people to get more. She loved it! Even now, in January, she asks me to put the Supergirl costume on her and she races through the house yelling "Soop-girl!" 
Riley was no too impressed with pumpkin carving, but was a great observer.

This is a pic of Riley as we are all getting dinner ready! Boy, she has it rough, huh?
Riley loves papa's boat and requested that Jason bring her to it, as then I took these pics. We had no idea what she was trying to do and then she took Jason's hand and this is where she lead him.
Riley loved the sprinkler at grandma and grandpa's house. She was running through their yard at top speed.

This was so much fun! Thanks to grandma for taking us here! Thanks to Tim for not being afraid to be a big goofball with Riley. It was so cute and Riley loved Tim, especially by the end of the trip!
Riley's favorite part - the slide! Jason is getting ready to catch her and Tim is getting ready to send her down! 
On Saturday we took the boat to the San Juan Island. We had a great lunch there and then got some ice cream for the trip back. So good! Jason and I would have loved to hit the little shops here but it was already getting pretty late and we needed to head back. It will give us something fun to do later! 
Pic of Danielle and Brent's boat. It was pretty cool and the girls ended up taking a nap below. Lauren actually has her own little playroom down below! You wouldn't believe all the room.
Isn't this a beautiful sail boat? 
Riley and I, yet again, went to Jamba Juice today. We put in our order then I turned around and headed towards the door as the place was fairly busy and I wanted to get out of the way while we waited for our drink. Riley had a meltdown at this moment. I finally realized it was due to the fact she thought we were leaving without her drink. I made my way to where they were preparing the drinks and showed her how they were making the drinks. She immediately calmed down and began very anxiously waiting for her drink.
