Happy Birthday Riley!!

Riley turned 8 years old yesterday!! He picked Steak 'n Shake for his birthday dinner then we headed to The Incredible Pizza to play laser tag, ride go carts and play arcade games. Riley was finally tall enough to drive the go carts by himself and he was so excited! I raced with him and he beat me! :) He liked that part too. :)

What Riley is up to these days.... Riley is a lover of video games on the Wii and his DS, Legos, Bionicles, and reading about any and all kinds of animals. Bionicles have kind of been on the back burner lately....he's been loving the Lego sets since Christmas and asked for more for his birthday. He's doing great in school and is the star reader in his class. He was at the highest level of reading in his class this past semester was the only one at that level. He flies through chapter books and really enjoys reading them. He loves to spend time with his sister and they usually play together very well. The definitely each have their moments of trying to annoy each other....but he's a great big brother!!
