Happy First Birthday Michael!!!

Michael is turning 1! I cannot believe it! It has been so amazing watching my little baby boy grow in to a big toddler (Even though he isn't toddling much yet!). We celebrated his birthday at home with family and friends. He had some of his old friends from Clovis visit and family travel to see him celebrate his big day! We even had our new friends in Paso join in on the fun!

He celebrated in style with a baby Micky theme with balloons, banners, cake, ice cream, hot dogs and hamburgers, bubble machine, and lots and lots of toys! With help from his Mama and some friends he figured out how to tear the paper of his gifts too! I would have to say his favorite gift of the day was his tool station from his Mimi. He was also given a sandbox and sand toys and a bead maze from his Mama and Dada. Kiddie tools, a NASCAR toy car to ride, a airplane he can pull around that plays music, books, and much much more!

Chop Chop!

We took Michael to get his first haircut because he was looking kind of shaggy! He did so good when he was getting his hair cut, even when they used the clippers! Anthony shook a it puppy for him when he started to wiggle around, but other than that he was perfect! The best part is he still looked like a baby with his big boy hair cut!

Lake Time!

We met up with the Kootstras for some fun at Lake Naciamento. The weather was so nice and Michael had fun playing in the sand and the water!

Mid-State Fair

Paso Robles is home to the California Mid-State Fair! We took Michael two times and Anthony and I even went to a Kid Rock concert! We had fair food, took Michael to see the animals, and he even went on his first fair ride!

And baby makes.....four!!!!

We're so excited to announce....there will be a new addition to the Riso family soon! Yes, we're expecting and couldn't be happier! Our little boy or girl will be here sometime in January. Michael is going to be a big brother! Yay!

Champions

He did it! Anthony coached his team all the way to winning the league championship! I couldn't be more proud of him! I love you Anthony!

Happy 4th of July!

This is the first holiday we have spent in Paso, our new home. I have met a really nice girl named Laurel who has a daughter around the same age as Michael. We met up with her family at Barney park for the 4th of July celebration and fireworks. Michael was not excited about the fireworks, he just wanted me to hold him tight and he literally forced himself to sleep. I think it was a fake sleep to sort of escape the loud noise and bright lights he didn't understand. Whatever the reason, I didn't mind at all holding my little guy all night! :)
