Toothless wonder

Sweet Abigail, all her teeth are falling out! You should've seen her eating corn on the cob over the summer!

Movies in the park!

Each summer they show free movies in the park every Sunday and Wednesday. Some movies are family friendly, but some are not. We take advantage of all those that we can. And we sure do have a blast! We bring some snacks, some blankets and just sit back and enjoy. Here is a beautiful sky above Schenley Park in Oakland where we went for our movie fun.

Dancing moves

Before the movie started they had live music playing. Here is Samuel fist pumping to the music. He's quite the dancer.

Ready for the show

Josiah loves dinosaurs and was very ready to watch Jurassic Park in the park.

Climbing like a big boy

One Sunday after church we packed a lunch and headed to the park nearby for a picnic and some playground fun. Here are a few pics we got of the time we spent there.

Our library is THE best library ever! During the summer, the kids read books, earn points, and buy prizes. Here they are on a rainy day enjoying one of their prizes, magnetic fishing rods. Good times!

Ready to donate!

Our sweet punkin. She is growing up so fast. And a few weeks ago she did a really big kid thing. She donated her hair to Locks of Love, to make wigs for kids who don't have hair due to sickness or chemo. She was so excited!

And... the back

In order to donate her hair to Locks of Love Abigail needed to have 10inches of hair. Here her stylist is making sure she has enough.

All clipped and ready to snip

She was such a good customer. And darn cute too!

Laughing and loving it!

Even though she had been looking forward to donating her hair for a long time I wasn't quite sure how Abigail would react once she saw all of her hair was gone. But, as you can tell, she was super excited still!

All done!

Abigail was so pleased with her hair. And of course she was just the belle of the salon.

Hopping to help


101_5616 a video by TheReillys on Flickr.

This week at Josiah's preschool the kids had a ton of fun. They hunted easter eggs, ate some treats, read some fun stories, played games, and did some crafts. But they also did something with a purpose. They had a Ho-A-Thon to raise money for the MDA and kids that can't use their muscles well. All week they learned about different disabilities and how these kids are like them in every way except how their muscles work. What a fun time! Enjoy the video.

Treat time!

Josiah is excited to dig into his Easter treat at his school party!

It was so cute how Samuel went and sat with Josiah and his class to wait for directions on the egg hunt. While all the mommys hid the eggs the kids went into the hall and read a story, Samuel lined right up and went out with them too. The party had to be inside because of the rain, but it was still a blast!

I found one!

This was such a cute decoration that one of the moms from Josiah's preschool made. It's an easter egg tree. The eggs are real eggs painted, and slightly cracked and filled with candy. Samuel likes it!

I made this!

During craft time at his party, Josiah made this super cool bunny hat. He's proud!

Samuel was so proud to be sitting in Josiah's teacher's chair while waiting for the party to get started.

Happy Birthday Mommy!

The best gift of all is having great kiddos like this. But a great new grill isn't too shabby either! They worked so hard on all the construction paper food and flames and the clicky thing that lights it. What a fun gift!

Fun with Isaac

The last couple of weeks we had the great privilege of watching a friend's little boy. His name is Isaac and he is 22 months old. He is so fun. We had a ton of fun. Playing dress up, dancing, jumping around, tickle fights, reading stories, and we even managed to make it outside a few times even though it was crazy cold. I didn't get a ton of pics, but here's a few.

Fireman Isaac

I am pretty sure Abigail was Isaac's favorite Reilly. He just lit up anytime she came into the room. Here he is after they were wrestling and he sat on her.

Pirate Isaac

And he gets you! Imagine him saying "shing shing" as he does this. Because he probably is.

He dares you to mess with him.

Samuel thought the dice from the Yahtzee game Abigail and I were playing were so cool. He's showing you!

Lunchtime fun
