It's OCTOBER!!!! A few new things...

It's finally October! :)

Yesterday we went to a birthday party for Riker's friend Hunter at Pump it Up. Riker had a lot of fun. After that we had some time to kill in Round Rock since Sean didn't have to be at work for 2 more hours. So at Rike's request we went to PetsMart. We looked at the fish, the reptiles, the kitties, and the birds. A typical stop at PetsMart. But then Riker wanted to look at the Guinea Pigs. So we asked to hold one. The first one he didn't like, he wanted to hold the black one. He immediately lit up and asked to take him home. Sean and I both looked at each other, we had never seen Riker so excited about a pet. We had to. I owned a guinea pig and several hamters and a kid so I am used to these kind of pets. Riker had some money so he got the guinea pig. He named him Piggy. Within minutes of touching him I began sneezing, my eyes were itchy, and I developed a rash. I never been allergic to Guinea Pigs or any other animal before but I am allergic to Piggy. We think it may just be stuff on his fur so we bathed him. I haven't toucheed him yet to see if that worked but we will see. If so, I will just have to tuff it out. Riker is way to happy for me to take this away from him.

Today we went to see Thomas the Train in Burnet. It was just us and Riker. Rien Rae stayed behind with my Mom and brother. Riker had a blast! We will have to take him back next year if he still loves Thomas!!! :)

On the way home we started talked girl names randomly and I told Sean the name I wanted from day one but disregarded because it wasn't an R name. Kaedence Hope. After my Uncle Kay "Doc" Crabtree and my Aunt Hope Crabtree. He said he loved it but he really wishes we could use something for his Grandma Laura "Rosey" Rosendahl. So we suddenly decided, Kaedence Rose Hope Armstrong. Now I have never been a fan of double middle names but it's really important to us that we both get the names that matter to us. Uncle Doc died of cancer a few years back. I hope nothing but wonderful memories of my great uncle and aunt. They are/were beautiful people. Uncle Doc was a great man and Aunt Hope is an amazing woman. Grandma Rosey is one of my favorite people in the world so this has to be done. We have never been so wishy washy on names but this name was the first name I thought of and I guess that was why. But now we just have to be sure to have a 4th so we can have 2 R's and 2 K's. :)

***Spelling of Kaedence is not yet confirmed.
