Riley-Rotten-Roo is 4! She is my best friend and is all kinds of sweet and sassy! Riley loves preschool. Her favorite foods are: spaghetti, oatmeal, and ice-cream. She sings all the time. She loves doing whatever her brothers are doing. She loves to cut up, draw on, and glue anything she get her hands on. She will only go to bed if I read to her. Usually I read the scriptures to her and she talks to herself while I read and eventually falls asleep. She doesn't like sleeping in her own room. Instead she has a little bed made up on mommy and daddy's floor. We are starting the transition of putting her in her bed to fall asleep but she is usually in our room by midnight. Riley is very loving, always giving my lots of hugs and kisses throughout the day, but she is also a spit fire and dishes out lots of attitude. She definitely knows what she wants and is very determined. She's also a daddy's girl. She loves to be near him and likes to watch and help him work on the car or truck, or anything he's doing.
For Riley's birthday this year she wanted to have a Minnie Mouse Party. She invited all of her favorite friends from church. At the party we colored pictures, played Disney Bingo and pin the bow on Minnie, decorated Minnie Mouse shaped sugar cookies, ate hot dogs and fruit and cake. My camera lens was acting up (I ended up having to send it in to get fixed) so I didn't get very many pictures of the party, but I did get a few.
As she was unwrapping this present, she saw the cracker box and threw it aside saying, "I hate this!" Carter helped her to see that the present in the box was not crackers but something she has been wanting for a long time, a puppy purse!

| She blew her candles out so quickly that I missed getting a picture. She was pouting because we re-lit the candles to sing to her. |
Happy Birthday Riley-Roo!
