Sunny days and lots of fun

In the Riedel home we have been very busy as usual, but outside of the Riedel home we have been able to enjoy some of this nice weather lately. Cody and I have been taking the kids for rides on the bicycle in the evenings when given the chance and the last few days I have been able to take the kids outside to play while Maddie takes her morning nap. Today we had snack outside. This was their beautiful faces right after everyone had a full belly. I love pics in pj's.

Maddie spends the day getting kisses from her siblings. Poor thing is soaked with slobber by the time Lizzie and Wesley are done with her.

Madelyn really loves to have her big sister talk to her. Something about her voice just lights up Maddie's face. She does love her big sis.

I took this picture earlier in the week. Wesley loves to walk around with his lips puckered up.

Lizzie just loves to pose for the camera...if she is in the mood.

Wesley has an obsession with shoes and feet. I am constantly taking shoes away from him because lately he wants to put them in his mouth. I just thought that this picture was funny since my shoe is as long as his whole body.

Yesterday I had to give Lizzie a spanking for hitting her brother. She proceeded to go to time out...on her own. I never told her to go. Well...Wesley followed her and he too went to time out. The boy is one year old and has never been made to go there, but he loves to follow Lizzie. So, here they are both crying and in time out when I never put either of them there. It made for a great picture at least.

Over the weekend we celebrated 3 family birthdays. My mom turned 51, Dad turned 52, and my baby brother turned 15. Wow, how time flies. It was great getting to spend some time with them this weekend to celebrate many years of life.
