GRANDMA'S NAIL SALON

WHAT A GREAT DAY!

The day isn't over...but, I am exhausted from watching all the action so I came inside to rest. The computer says its 84*. Yes, 84*! It is at least warm enough to warrant the girls finding their swim suits and playing in water. At least that is what they told us!

Riggs thought this water bug was great fun until...

Brooklyn turned it and sprayed him in the face. He was very much NOT a fan of that!

Alex tried counting rocks with him so he didn't have to play in the water...

but, he talked Grandma into walking back down to the 'bug'.

With another round of water to his face, Riggs sat down to talk with Scott about how hard it is being ONE.

And after discussing all of his options, he decided the rocks were the safest spot to play.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIGGS!

I don't know how it happened but a whole year has gone by?!?!...

Riggs is ONE!

Brooklyn and Alex worked hard on his birthday sign

and said 'Happy Birthday' with Backyardigan masks

He invited a couple of his buddies over

Family time at the park to start the celebration

Sisters and their brother...love, love, love!

Alex, being the good sister she is, explained to Riggs that this is NOT the way to go down the slide!

He took his sister's advice to be safe.

Presents after bath time

Riggs got a new blue car...Alex went and found her old pink car to join in for a ride

D I Y , MR. RIGGS

This is what I am normally watching from 'my chair'...mom bonding with Riggs over a bottle several times a day.

But, sometimes...Grandma is called in 3 different directions and this little guy is left to DIY. He loves the attention from Grandma but all is good as long as he has his bottle.

JUST LIKE DADDY

ITS SPRING ALREADY!

Brooklyn keeps reminding me that it is already spring. But, around these parts, it is hard to remember that detail. So, the girls came down from their room with 'spring flowers' for me.

If that doesn't help me remember 'spring'....nothing will!
