Hanging out in "MAN TOWN"


It may look like a pool house...but it is actually a man cave!! Today the Riordan boys were hanging out in "Man Town", enjoying some golf on TV and a little Hershey's chocolate. (We were celebrating their "18-month" birthday.) It was the perfect place to unwind after a day playing ball in the yard with dad. Mom was allowed in for the special occasion. ;)
It is so rare to get a shot of these two lately. They are so fast that I barely have time to click! The fact that they are both looking at the camera here - and sitting still - is a miracle. :)

Favorite foods...

Tommy is fearless when it comes to trying new foods. Cole will watch Tommy intently. If Tommy likes it...Cole will give it a try. Otherwise, his lips are sealed. Luckily, Tommy pretty much likes everything, so therefore the kids have a pretty varied diet. Here are some of their favorites:

Mango, Blueberries, Strawberries (chocolate covered ones too), Bananas, grapes, cantaloupe, watermelon, oranges, apples, pears, lemons, raspberries -- Broccoli, asparagus, spinach, green beans, carrots, red peppers, celery, tomatoes (tomato sauce), olives, beans (black beans, baked beans) -- Mashed potatoes, french fries, sweet potatoes, potato chips -- Chicken, fish, hamburgers, hot dogs, meatballs, American chop suey, turkey burger, cheese -- Pasta, rice, couscous, mac & cheese -- toast (whole wheat and raisin toast), pancakes, waffles (plain, blueberry and strawberry) -- Ice cream, yogurt, apple sauce -- Peanut butter, jelly (new) -- Babyccinos (steamed milk), milk, chocolate milk, juice (orange, cranberry, bluberry, pomegranate, apple) -- Crackers

This is getting too hard! When they were little it was so easy to list things out. Now they are just growing up so fast and learning and trying new things everyday. My sweet, curious little boys.

Marco Island Adventures

We spent last week in Marco Island with the boys visiting Grandma. Auntie Meredith joined us, too. The boys had a really tough time adjusting. It was tough on everyone. We thought that this trip was going to be a piece of cake considering how well they did in Fiji! I guess there is a big difference between being 12 months old and 17 months old. Anyway, amidst all the tears, there were some cute moments...here are a few:

Big Boys at the Park



With temperatures in the 50's yesterday, we brought the boys to the park to enjoy the warm weather. It was the first time that they had been to the park since they started walking! It was a WHOLE new world for these guys. Look at the picture of Tommy at the top! That attitude and swagger pretty much sums up the day. They were the big men on campus - checking out all the kids, hanging in the sandbox, going down the slide and loving their independence.
We played so hard that when we got home in the afternoon we ALL went down for a great two-hour nap. :)
