Virginia Beach

Riley loves the ocean, she has already told us she wants to surf.

One happy little girl to share the beach with Grandma and Grandpa!

It was a great time at the beach, the rain and gloom cleared up enough to get in the ocean before we left. Always a good time when family can come to town and visit.

Vrginia Aquarium

No way can you walk out without taking these photos home with you.

Loving the fish

Erupting the volcano

Look no hands!

Ahhhh!!!

Happy 4th Birthday!!!

Barbie seemed to be the theme for this years birthday.

Everyone was up early to celebrate Riley's birthday. Is their a better way to start the day than coffee and a delighted 4 year old. Now off to the beach for the weekend!

Riley's Birthday Party

We had a very small birthday celebration for miss Riley, she had a couple friends and Grandma & Grandpa, she loved every second of it.

Apple Picking

We had a wonderful day at Carter mountain orchard with Grandma. We came home with 13 lbs of apples, had a wonderful picnic, and got some great photos!

Riley LOVED using the apple picker with Daddy, she was so excited to show me the apple they caught.

Just like Daddy

Taking a little brake

Even Mommy got a turn

The pros, with apple picking anyway

The last perfect apple

Showing off our spoils from the orchard

It was cool outside, but Riley still wanted some ice cream after our picnic lunch.

birthday celebration with Grandma!

Before blowing out her candle Riley made the sweetest wish, "I wish to have the best time ever with Grandma!"

Pretty excited to open her gifts from Grandma!!

Cinderella Barbie!!!!!!

Our very own Princess Tiana

Let the wild rumpus begin! Riley is a very lucky girl, and will get to celebrate her birthday all week before she even gets to 4. It was a very Disney Princess birthday with Grandma Sherri, thank you!!
