Superbowl fun

Uncle Damon and our sweet little cousin Sierra were in town superbowl weekend. They came over with Gaga for some football fun! It took Sierra a little bit to warm up the the madness of the Riggs house, but soon, she fit right in!







We made cupcakes and then put them together in the shape of a football!

Jackson was an excellent "icer".

It is starting to look like a football.....

Jackson was so proud of our creation. This goes back to me needing to take a cake decorating class!!!!

Gaga with Cooper, Ainsleigh and Sierra. Sierra is about 5 months younger than the babes.

Sierra didn't let Jackson get away with anything. She loved to "wrestle" so she fit right in with my crew.

Sierra taking a picture of me taking a picture of her!

Ahhhh, the three little angels at the top of the stairs.

And then the sliding began. You can see Ainsleigh's hand in the background. It looks like she may have given Sierra a little nudge down the steps.

Watch out...here they come!

Poor Sierra is finally used to the "death hugs" from Ainsleigh and Cooper.

Dora and Diego and Nail Painting

I am not sure where they got this Dora and Diego bit since we don't watch that show much, but today they were pretending to be looking for spiders. They each had sunglasses on and would run up to me and the conversation would go something like this....

Dora: "I don't see any spiders Diego" as she pulled up my pant legs.
Diego: "Are you sure Dora? They are tiny" as he pulled up my other pant leg.
Dora: "Nope, let's go Diego" as they both run off laughing....










Diego with his sunglasses on upside down.

Partners in crime...Dora and Diego

Just a random picture mixed in. Daddy painting Ainsleigh's nails bright pink. She loved it and daddy did a pretty good job!

Random crazy Riggs house fun

These are just some random funny pictures. Remember, we have had lots of snow and cold weather lately and have been stuck inside ALOT. We tend to go stir crazy after a while.







Cooper and one of his many puzzles. He absolutely LOVES to work any kind of puzzle. am going to have to get more. He has mastered all of the ones we have!

Movie and popcorn night while Daddy was working the late shift. Ainsleigh got her pj's on by herself. She likes to mix and match clothes!

This started out as Jackson chasing the babes around in the circle, but they quickly grew bored and went to the toy room. Jackson kept running and ran 100 times through the living room, down the hall, through the dining room then kitchen. Bless his heart, he was really tired when he finally stopped.

Daddy kept laughing every time Jackson ran around the corner.

Ainsleigh all dressed up and dancing which is quite hilarious if you have never seen her. You can't tell, but she has two different princess heels on that make a cool noise when you dance!
















Posing with her hip out...don't know why!

What a move sparkle girl!

I can't figure out how to turn this video and it isn't the best quality...sorry! It is worth a look though:)

Jackson's Basketball Game

Jackson's basketball season is coming to an end. He played his last regular season game last Saturday as we will be out of town on the 12th. I think we may have a tournament after the regular season, but I am not sure about the dates. I do feel bad for him because about the time he was finding his groove, the season ended. I think he enjoyed playing and learning. I am betting you will find a baskeball goal in our driveway in the spring time.






Ainsleigh was Jackson's personal cheerleader. She liked to yell, but not really watch the game. She was too busy watching the cheerleaders. Yes, we have cheerleaders at 7/8 year old basketball games!

Cooper had his own jersey like Jackson's!

Ainsleigh got Jackson to play cheerleader with her!

My basketball boys!

The kids love to run around saying "Go Racers" no matter what teams are playing.

Ahhh, the cheerleaders getting ready for their halftime show.

More moves by the cheerleaders.

Ainsleigh loved the "circle time" at the end of their routine.

This is how Ainsleigh sat (the most still of the entire game!) during the half time show. She really did love the cheerleaders. And they wore her favorite color...purple.

Our little superstar...number 5!

Jackson in action.

Getting ready to find out who he would be guarding. Since he is kind of tall for his age, he got stuck with some pretty big boys!

Guarding his man (sorry about the devil eyes, I couldn't get the red eye to fix it).

Snow Day in Franklin!

We have snow! About 4 inches of it. We headed outside around 9:30. The babes lasted about an hour and Jackson was out almost an hour and a half.

A view from our front porch.

Cooper and Ainsleigh ready to play!

Ainsleigh helping Elli build her snowman.

Ainsleigh making a snow angel. She had fun falling down.

Cooper making a snow angel too.

Ainsleigh and Cooper sledding. Look at the bottom of Cooper's boot. The snow kept sticking and making them have platforms!

Bella giving the babes a boost down the hill.

Ainsleigh and Cooper with the Riggs snowman.

The Cove kids with their snowman!!

Addy throwing a snowball at her daddy.

Sweet Ava ready to play.

Happy New Year!!

We celebrated New Year's Eve at our house with our friends, the Mitchells and the Codlings. It was very low key but the kids had fun running around playing with each other.

The festive night!

The A girls.....Ava, Ainsleigh and Addy "chalking" as we call it on our new easel.

Handsome Jackson drinking sparkling grape juice.

Brendan being silly!

Ava showing off her hat that wouldn't stay on her head.

Addy in her fancy pink shirt. Her blower was the perfectly matched accessory!

Ainsleigh had already changed in to her jammies. We aren't sure why....

My kids were attached to Tim for the night. They ran and would jump into his lap and wanted him to hold them. We decided he needs twins:)

Addy and Jackson toasting the new year.

Ava was all about Jackson. She chased and chased him all night....

....and finally caught him. She gave him lots of hugs!









The boys were still up at 11pm looking at Jackson's scrapbooks. No, I don't have the twins baby books done, but one day I may get to scrapbook again!

Ainsleigh was already in bed which was a shocker!

They did it!!!!! The boys stayed up until midnight to see the ball drop. The next morning Cooper was fussing at Jackson and I asked him why. He wanted Jackson to turn on that "ball dropping again".

We all survived New Year's Eve. The babes took their new car out for a spin on January 1st! Cooper is a pretty good driver. Ainsleigh not so much. She actually would rather ride with Cooper which works out pretty well for the moment...wonder how long that will last??!!
