Mothers Day




When I got home from Clifton, Ryne had lunch waiting for me! He made Cordon Bleu (chicken stuffed with ham and cheese) and scalloped potatoes. On top of that, he got us a new table from the free bins here on campus and for mothers day he bought us some new lawn chairs. I was SO excited! And as if that wasn't enough, he totally took me by surprise when he gave me a package of pictures. He had asked Maryanne to take pictures of him and Riley for me! So here are a few pictures of my two favorite people...










Thanks babe, I love you both!

Tamera's Shower









This weekend My mom and I through my friend Tamera a shower. She is getting married next weekend and Ryne and I are both in the wedding. I wanted to do something different so we headed to Practically Pikaso in Waco. We had some snacks, played a game, and painted some plates. The personalities are all so different! Tamera really enjoyed herself and so did I. Thanks Mrs. Dowdy for bringing some snacks and thanks to Jennifer and Donna for the cake! It was great!
I love you Tamera! I can't wait to see how they will turn out.
-Thanks for watching Riley Bergren Family!

Our trip to Arizona


Us on the shuttle headed to Arizona for our first family vacation!

This was our very first trip on an airplane! It was so exciting.

I thought that the airport in Arizona was so pretty. I loved the plane and the stained glass.

Grandma Scott fed Riley so we could all go swimming.

There was a great mall nearby and we all had a great time hanging out and shopping.

We had the very first Bergren Family Olympics.
It was so much fun. This is us playing shuffle board. Ryne and I came in 1st and 2nd!

Four Generations

She just looked so cute!

While we were down we got to see Uncle Ed and Aunt Shirley. My camera died and I didn't get a picture of Riley and Uncle Ed :(
It was so good to see you both. Hopefully we can see you in South Dakota this summer.

Another generation pic

Grandma and Grandpa Scott bought Riley an adorable hat. Thanks so much; it has sure been handy here in the Texas heat. Not to mention it is MUCH cuter than a bow :)

Grandpa and Riley

I just LOVE palm trees. I think they are so spunky and happy. They make me smile. I was super excited to see that the neighbors had some mini one's so of course I got a picture.



Riley looked so cute with the KU bear

Were on our way back home!

Wow! What a great Vacation. Ryne and I had just finished up our finals and then we headed off to Arizona. All of Ryne's family was able to be there and it was wonderful. Riley did pretty good on her first flight, however, the time change was pretty hard to get used to. We did all sorts of things, but one of my favorites was the Bergren Family Olympics. I think we should do it every year (especially because I really need to redeem myself in horseshoes!!) We got to stay two extra nights. We really enjoyed the extra time we had all to ourselves.
I loved Arizona and can't wait to go again.
Grandma and Grandpa Scott, we love you both so much. Thanks for letting us stay in your home. We'll see you soon!

Ryne's New Bike!



It was a little out of our price range but it was definately well worth it. Ok, obviously I'm joking. This is not my bike. Our neighbor Josh Gobble went out and got him a bike and allowed me to hop on for a ride. Well finals are almost over. Summer is fixen to be here.

Surprise Visit!


This is Riley in her ADORABLE new outfit from Grandma and Grandpa at the lake. The polka-dots for me and the cherries are for my mom.

She was so tired tonight. She slept through the last part of the meal. That was after she fussed to be held. She dosen't like to not be part of the group.

Us a Posados. Thanks again for taking us out. We had such a good time and we sure did miss yall.

Riley liked to just lay with grandaddy and listen to his deep voice.


After a long week of school, it was very exciting that G-G and G-G-P (Great Grandma, and Great Grandpa at the Lake) came for a surprise visit. They hadn't seen Riley since Christmas. She has definitely grown since then! It was good for us to get out and to visit. We love hearing all of Grandpa's story's and enjoying good 
conversation. Thanks again and we love you.

Riley's new toy


Riley got a new toy this week. I was so excited because I put it together all by myself! At first she wasn't to sure about whether or not she liked it, but has gotten used to it and loves to chew on all the little toys.

Riley Anne - 4 months old!









Today Riley is 4 months old!
She has so much personality and has brought so much joy to our lives.
She LOVES to play with her daddy.
She has learned to make spit bubbles and babbles.
She is very strong; she can hold her head up and kicks around her legs. This morning we found her scooting around because she moves her legs so quickly while holding her head up.
She likes baths and water in general.
We tried on her new bathing suit from Janie, Eric, Carly, and Hannah. Thank you all so much. She looked so cute and had a good time in the water!
She is starting to not like laying back in her blue chair. She tries to to sit up. She will grab hold of the toys and try to pull herself up. It is so much fun to watch.
She is growing so fast, but we are enjoying every minute of it.
