Seth's Bday and Babies' First Trip Down Lover's Lane...

Now, most of our blog entries are firmly rooted in the "G-rating" category. This one spices it up a little bit and might be too hot for a few of you to handle, so we'll start it off nice and slow...

Dylan rockin' his new lion walker.

Again on the lion. (Can you tell this was taken a few weeks ago? The peach trees in the background are now in full bloom...)

Now is that a contemplative stare or what?

Argyle makes me go GRRRRRRRR!

Dylan, from the director's chair, at Jamie's soccer game.

Seth's party started out with lots of playing and some great food...

...But got out of hand pretty quickly with Zach "Quick Draw" Gallego emptying the box of blocks and wearing it as a helmet.

Dylan followed suit, hastily metabolizing his bottle of formula and turning on his inner rock star.

Here, it appears all is quite on the toddler front, with Mia, Zach and Sofi (from left) all playing nicely together.

Now, grandmas and granpas, aunts and uncles, get ready for some scandal.

Little did anyone know, Mia and Zach were stealthily planning their first ambitious kiss. (Dare I say, with tongue???)

Dylan was a little shocked he was left out of the action and took the party outside, borrowing Seth's trucker hat and go-mobile for a cruise around the block.

Tune in next week as we go deep into the hearts and minds of these reality-show wannabes on Meet The Rifs!

Kite Festival, etc.

Dylan and Renee chilling at the Kite Festival. Arrrghhhh!

Dylan adds a little Bobby Brown to the timeless favorite, "I Got You Babe." Sofi doesn't mind, Mike and Renee having been teaching her UFC grappling skills since month 1.

Crusty, lotion-y Dylan supporting Jamie at her soccer game.

Love that suntan lotion hair gel... and the drool.

Gorgeous Sofi.

Dylan testing out his new bike helmet... and drooling.

Not a bad tower for a 9-month old!

Not the clearest of photos, but it does illustrate Dylan's penchant for speed racing.

Sleepy guy.

Cuddling the lion.

Multi-tasking - lion cuddling AND bottle drinking. Big Time!

Dylan's Sour Face

We've been trying for weeks, maybe even months, to capture Dylan's "I'm not sure I like what you're feeding me face." Here are the fruits of our labor...

And away he goes...

Measuring cups are a kid's best friend.

Happy Guy! (How many times have we used that caption?)

After a long week of exploring the Utah mountains, Dylan drove home while Ben and Jamie took a nap. Hey, with a GPS unit it doesn't take too much effort to navigate the roads.
