Riley is 6!

Happy birthday Riley Isabel! It is hard to believe that she arrived 6 years ago today and blessed our family. She is funny, smart, confident and creative. Riley has the ability to lift up those around her, find ways to keep the peace, and also will always stand her ground! My favorite Riley quote this year was a conversation we had one day in the car:
Riley: "God sure has blessed us."
Mom: "Yes He sure has."
Riley: "What?! God is a he?!"
It's pretty clear that she takes after her mother! Girl power! :)

Our beautiful Riley at 2 weeks old and now.

I was the mystery reader in Riley's class and added an extra surprise by dressing like a pirate to read a few pirate books. I wasn't sure which way it would go and am happy to report that she loved it.
We celebrated with a pirate themed party at the bounce house with Riley's Kindergarten class and a few of her good friends from outside of school. It was crazy and fun! (Yes, Ben had this same party when he turned 3. Pirates are popular in our house. For a long time Riley had a sign on her door that said "Pirates Only Please.")

These are some really good guys!
The three amigas: Hook, Eye Patch, and Hat. :)
