"that's the beba!"

on fathers day weekend we made the long trek to spokane where we spent a week at tyler's moms house. tyler worked all week at his office in coeur d'alene - so riley and i visited with friends and family and funny enough, riley decided to take 3 hour naps for 4 days straight, so i enjoyed lots of reading and nap time myself! unfortunately, i took very few pictures, so i have only a few photos to share.

~some highlights from the trip ~

rainy fathers day gondola ride through riverfront park after a yummy family brunch, 3 hour nap for riley and i and an early dinner out to this fab spot:




out too late on several evenings visiting friends/family:


played in the park while tyler & his buddies practiced for hoopfest:



other fun things we did (with no pictures!) were: a date night for tyler and i, bbq's, catching up with old friends, visiting grandparents, golf for tyler, playing in a few south hill parks and lots of time with the beba.

who is the beba you ask? well the beba (pronounced "bee ba") is tyler's mom and our little riley came up with that clever name. on our drive to spokane i was trying to come up with the perfect name for tyler's mom. we had always referred to her as grandma, but she was not too keen on that name, so i thought abuela (grandma in spanish) would be fitting since melinda has a condo in mexico and loves to spend time down there. every time i asked riley to say abuela, she would say beba. so it stuck and as soon as she saw melinda, she started calling her beba. the funniest part, was riley then turned it into "the beba". then when melinda would walk into a room, riley would shout, "that's the beba!". so beba it is and ALL are happy about it.
