Happy 1st Birthday to Riley!

Riley Elizabeth celebrated her first birthday on April 21, 2012.  It's hard to believe that its been a year already!  She has been such a blessing.  We had many visitors for her big day.  Both Grandma's and Grandpa's came as well as Aunt Cathy.  The festivities began on Friday when we all went to the San Diego Safari Park in Escondido.  It was so wonderful to see the animals run free. 

Then to quench our thirst and appetite we went to Stone Brewing.  That place is unbelievable.  What a great set up.  We ate outside and had some great beer plus we got a growler filled with some awesome beer!

For her birthday we had everyone over to our place along with Ann Dew and her Nanny Joanna and her boyfriend Johnny.  Riley got her first taste of sweets with a cupcake.  She didn't disappoint either...she ate the ENTIRE cupcake.  That's our girl!

For Sunday, we got to go to our first Padres game.  And Matt got hooked up with the owner's seats so we sat in Section 8, Row 1, Seat 1-8!  It was incredible.  Riley was on the big screen three times and Johnny got a foul ball for Riley to commemorate the moment.  She was awesome and enjoyed the entire game.  The Padres won the game (doesn't happen too often) against the Phillies! 

On Monday Riley had her pediatrician appointment and she did great even through the three shots she had to get in her thighs.  She's such a trooper. 

All in all it was a fabulous weekend with family and friends.  Thanks to all who came to celebrate and we cannot WAIT for what the future holds!
