RILEY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY FUN

Riley was the "Super Fun Hero" at his birthday party - with lots of fun pool action for everyone! The rides were high, the pool was like Big Surf, the company was great and I can't remember what we ate - but I do remember that Cheesecake is his favorite, and that's what we ate!

We celebrated a day early because he and Ashley (and the papoose that she is packing inside and front of her) were going backpacking and camping for the next few days. Ryan and Cam were in Hawaii so we had their kids staying with us and it was quite a party! Jacob and Jonique had just moved in also, so the house was full again and full of life!
Riley is such a great blessing to our family! He brought with him from Heaven an incredible peace that permeated our family. When he was little his tummy got upset if we were ever angry at one another or stressed. I am grateful for his "thermometer" of our behaviors! Riley has always been the one to take in any stray or hurting animal - and he does that with people too! I know that he is one of Heavenly Father's special sons and that his kindness will be rewarded in heaven!

I want to thank Heavenly Father for this magestic son - who has so much good in him - and who I am so privileged to be his mother! Riley, I love you so much and am so happy for you and Ashley - that in this (your 32nd year of life) you will be blessed with a baby daughter to love, protect and to teach. This is going to be the greatest year in Riley's life - with his wife to love and a daughter to nurture.
