Riley's First Birthday Party


The Mills' residence was transformed into a Fall Wonderland for Riley's party

























Riley with her betrothed, Jude





Ricky, Jude & Corinne Sawkopf


The usual September day: sweating in the afternoon, freezing in the evening.

Careful... you are about to witness incredible amounts of glitter.









Obviously, Wes was doing something cute... like always


Ricky to Tammy: "Get off Tammy! This ride is only for kids" "You first Ricky" "No way, I'm not missing this!!"








no caption necessary here.. we all know what REALLY happened
