July

We had a picnic in the park with Friends and Family for the 4th of July. We all dressed up in our Red White and Blue.

Triston Loved the fireworks and just running and playing in the park with his cousins.

Cute matching brothers.

The mine hosts Family Days every 2 years. This year Jack's Dad, his Brother Judd, and two friends Jared and Wayne were able to come and see where he works. They had a lot of fun.

Triston in his Aligator pool. He loves to go swimming in his "cool" as he calls it.

Beautiful Weston.

I think he's looking at Angels, but that's just me.

Grandparents

When I posted last time I didn't know we had these pictures on Jack's phone. Roger and Sue stopped on their way through town coming back from California and got to see Weston in the hospital.

He's Here!

Weston Jack Riley was born on Thursday June 18th at 2:58 pm. He was 7 pounds 6 ounces and 20 inches long.

He has beautiful hair that is dark at the root and blond at the tip. It looks like it was professionally frosted.

Beautiful Boy!

Triston LOVES his baby!

Weston had fluid in his lungs when he was born. They were afraid it would turn to pneumonia so he was started on an IV antibiotic and kept in the nursery to monitor his oxygen. He had to stay there for two days. He couldn't come to our room, so we had to go to the nursery to visit him and feed him my milk through a bottle because his oxygen would drop if he tried too hard to eat. By Sunday he was able to come to our room with his IV in tow. His x-rays and blood tests were good except he was showing signs of an infection, thank heaven it wasn't pneumonia!!! We would have had to go to Primary Children's in Salt Lake if he had. So they continued the antibiotic for 7 days and he had to be at the hospital for it because of the IV. He kept pulling the IV out, so they had to put it in his left arm twice, once in his right and finally, they day before we were to go home, they had to put it in his head because all his other veins were too tired from daily blood draws. So the above picture is our little fighter pilot. That's what we thought he looked like with his little hat made of gauze.

Finally on Thursday the 24th at 9:00 pm we were able to go home!!! And we were so excited!! It was hard to be at the hospital when everyone else was taking home their babies. But our nurses were AWESOME!!! They took such good care of Weston and the rest of us. We are so glad to be home though!!

Going Home!!!

After a long week in the hospital, we got to go home on Thursday night.

Getting dressed to go home.

All ready to go.

Triston was so excited to have his brother AND both parents home.

Proud big brother!

Wedding Weekend!

These pictures uploaded funny becuase I had to do them individually to even get them to load on here. So we'll start from the end and go to the beginning.

Lisa Wilde Made these cute towels with the kids' names on them. Triston loves having his very own towel.
At the Wedding reception the boys had a blast playing with the fish decorations.

Triston loves playing Ring-Around-the-Rosie and he kept trying to get all his cousins to play with him. They liked it at first but then they got tired of it.

The boys in their cute suits. They were so handsom!

The cousins had tons of fun playing in the sand box at Grandma and Grandpa Riley's house in Lewiston.

And the highlight and reason for the trip was the beautiful wedding of Juston and Nicole!! They are wonderful together and look so happy!! It was awesome to be at the temple with them and then to go to the reception the next night.

I tried!

I've tried to post pictures three times!! It uploads for 30 minutes then says it can't be completed. So I'll try again when I have more time and patience!!

Update

Triston is learning how to go pee on the potty. So he tells me all day long that he needs to. But he pretty much just sits there and then jumps up and says he's done.

Family picture at my Grandmother's funeral in Susanville.

Triston got to play with some tiny puppies at my sister's house.
He was so careful with them.

Jack found a dragon costume and wore it and danced around for a while.

He's such a dork, but I'll keep him.

We're having a......

BOY!!! Yes, we are having another boy and we are so excited!!! We wanted brothers together and we got them!!! So our new baby boy will be here sometime around June 23rd.

We went to Susanville to visit my Grandma who is very sick and all my beautiful sisters were there. Me, Jalene, Julie Ann, Jeina, and Jessa.

Triston likes to do everything his dad does. He followed Jack all around the house with his arms behind his back just like dad. It was so cute!

We like bubble baths.

Our Christmas Adventures

These pictures are way out of order. So I'll just go for it.

Titan, Triston, Porter, and Jackson at the Riley Grandparent's house in Lewiston after Porter's blessing.

Saturday night while we were making dinner, Jack had all the boys plaing in a fort and then he put all the couch cushions in a pile and tossed the boys on there. They had a blast. They all came in sweating after about 50 min of tough playing.
In Idaho we visited my sister Jessa and her family and we went bowling. We had a lot of fun. But I'm pretty sure all the little boys ages 1-5 beat the pants off all the adults.

The day we got home from Susanville after Christmsa our apt flooded. We were really lucky that we were home when it happened. But it still sucked royally!! So this is my kitchen (the only dry spot) with all the valuable furniture in it.

You can see the water mark on the carpet there, the water came under the wall and through a closet to get to the living room. Nice huh?

Me and Triston on Christmas morning.

We never got a picture together, but I made matching John Deere pajama pants for all three of us. Triston loved openning presents, but he wanted to play more with the stuff instead of openning more, which I guess is a good thing, but we wanted him to keep openning.

Oh, and Grandma Shelley bought him a John Deere socking!!!

This is Triston when we first woke him up at 5:00 AM!!! My Dad had to go to work early so we all got up early. Poor kid couldn't even walk strait when I first showed him what Santa brought him.

Jack and Triston playing.

Triston helped Jack open his birthday presents.

We tought him how to pop the bubbles paper that stuff comes in, in the mail. He koved it!
