Rylan's 2nd Birthday Party!

We had an extra fun birthday party for Rylan last night. He had a blast. He really enjoyed his new climbing/slide toy from Grandmas, Grandpa and Mommy & Daddy! He even ate some of the frosting off his cake! The theme was frogs as you can see!!

(the girl with Rylan on the chaise is our neighbor Amy Mae, and the girl with a big grin is her sister Catherine-she is Rylan's Babysitter!)

The Official Happy Birthday Day!

Today is Rylan's "Official 2nd Birthday"!! We went to the pool this morning and Rylan had a blast. He feels more and more comfortable each time I take him.

Tomorrow we are having his party and will add pictures of that then. But to hold you over here is an extra cute pix of him from yesterday. He loves playing with Mommy's Beanies and he was carrying one around for a long time just like this. I guess it's his own baby carrier! HA. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR RYLAN!!!

4th of July

Rylan was being so silly on the 4th of July with his 2 hats on. He also was enjoying his pix being taken and kept say 'more picture' and grinning like below. Too funny!

Here is Rylan watching fireworks in downtown Denver, he really liked them alot. If you ask him what sound does a firework make he says, 'boom-boom'!

Grandma Visiting

While Grandma and Cousin Kara were here we all went to the Museum of Nature & Science, which is one of Rylan's favorite places to go! Here are some fun shots Kara took!

Cousins Pt II

When Paige and Zach were here we all went to Gymboree and played! Here are some fun pictures that Kara took.

Fun with Cousins!

Rylan's cousins Paige and Zach came to visit on their way back from AZ. They got to play for a couple of days and had a blast. Grandma Castigliano and Maria were here too and enjoyed the fun as well!

Lunch with Grandma

This week we went and had lunch with Grandma Ball at the hospital. Here are some pictures of Rylan playing in the courtyard and with the big bear from the gift shop! The first two pictures are at Grandma's House...aren't her flowers pretty?

Mt Evans - Colorado

This past weekend we drove up to Mt Evans to see the Mountain Goats. Rylan really liked the Mamma Goat and Baby Goat! We also saw a few Big Horn Sheep, some Deer, and some Marmots. It was 45 degrees at the top and started snowing while we were there. The first picture is our attempt of getting a cliff hanging picutre of Rylan!!

Sierra, Mike and Sydney Visiting!

We had a nice visit with Sierra, Mike, and Sydney this past weekend. They came up to Denver on Thursday and stayed through Sunday. The kids had plenty of playtime and really enjoyed each other!

Arizona Trip

Here are some pix from our AZ Trip this past week. Whew, it was exhausting and a lot of work. We worked 3 days straight on our condo that was wrecked from renters. Grandma C babysat Rylan and had a great time! We did make it up to my parents house for a day and a half and headed back to Colorado. Not an enjoyable vacation but at least some of it we enjoyed! Thanks for all your hardwork....to Dad, Mom, Kade, Matt and Colin!!! (Oh yea, Rylan is a McDonalds Crazed Boy)

Just Playing

A couple of shots of Rylan playing a week or so ago. The first picture reminds me of 'the great cornholio'! And the other picture he is trying to blow into the box of raisins to make it squeek like mama does. The last picture is in his ball pit that he likes to play in.

Dog Poop

Ok, so I saw this cute outfit and had to buy it for Rylan for summer. I have tried 3 times to put it on him and he spits on it and calls it 'dog poop' (dot poop). He even threw it down the stairway one time. My mom also tried to get him to wear it without success. Finally I had Greg try to get the outfit on him and it worked! So, this is his 'Dog Poop' Outfit....(Toddlers!!)....maybe it's too Cleveland Brown's looking for him?????
