Fall Fun!!

Daddy raked up the leaves out front for Rylan and Millie (Millie really, really loves to play in the leaves) to play in earlier this week! They had a blast...if you look back a year ago at the jumping in leaves post you'll see that Rylan DID NOT like playing in them! This year he loves it! He is sooo much fun...

Estes Park

A couple of weekends ago we headed up to Estes Park to listen to the Elk Bugle. Here are some pix from our trip. We saw Moose, Deer, and Elk. Rylan really enjoyed all the animals!!

More Park Time!

Just a couple of cute Park Pictures from our adentures lately....

Weekend in Vail, PT II

I've had a heck of a time posting pix lately, sorry for the delay on Part II of the Vail Weekend!! Anyway, here are some fun shots of Rylan playing in the Donovan Park in Vail. We played for 2 hours, I'm not sure who was more tired Mommy and Daddy or Rylan!! He loves going to parks so we've been checking out many of them. You'll see more park pix soon...

Weekend in Vail, Pt I

For Mommy's Birthday we went to Vail for the weekend and stayed in Vail Village at the Marriott. It was really nice to get away and play in the mountains. The colors were just starting to show some gold and red. We took a fun trip up the Gondola and enjoyed time playing at parks.

Never lean to far over to look in the tub...

Rylan learned a valuable lesson eariler this month. Never lean to far over the tub or you will fall in with your clothes on! Boy, was he mad...

School Days!

Rylan's 1st day of Pre-PreSchool!! Rylan started a Preschool Program at the beginning of September. He loves going to school. He goes on Tuesday and Thursday for 3 hours in the mornings. The school is inside of a Christian Church about 4 minutes from our house. They are very loving there and Rylan sure enjoys that. Here are some pictures from his first day (yes it was cold that day)!

Fun Times!

Some fun pictures of Rylan recently. The first picture is of him licking a cupcake (he doesn't eat bread so that's a first). Then there is a pix of Rylan, Katie and Sean, his cousins while they visited in August. And finally some pics of Rylan and our grapes from out back that we grew.

This is how tall I am!

Rylan found my new rug extra fun to lay on. He fits right on it! And yes, that is really where the rug is because our carpet is coming apart there...bummer, I guess we'll be getting new carpet soon! Shouldn't that be fun with a 2 year old?

Rocky Mountain National Park

This past weekend we headed up to Rocky Mountain National Park about 1.5 hours from our house. We were so lucky to see a Bear. This is the first Bear we've ever seen there before!! Here are some funny pictures of Rylan enjoying the trip. He also got to see Elk and Deer too. He's pointing the Elk out to Daddy in the car.

Colorado Peaches!

The Colorado Peach Crop is in and boy are they good! We thought we might rub that in to you all that have had them in the past. Rylan had his first one today and loved it. Here are some cute shots of Rylan playing with the dogs too!!

Silly Shorts

Rylan got this silly shorts from his cousin Zach, he used to wear them too. They are a size 2T but have a small waist and they are extremely long. He enjoyed wearing them and going down the slide real fast though! He looks so grown up here!!

Nap Time

Rylan has been sleeping in his big boy bed for a month or more now. He is doing well there. He really likes it. On most afternoons and mornings I find his bed looking like this picture. He's enjoying getting books to look at while in bed. This particular day he was sleeping hanging off his bed and had 12 books in it. He also had my socks on, which he likes to wear (bear prints). Once I snapped the picture he woke up!! I had to post it though....

2 Year Check Up

Just a quick note to update you on Rylan's growth! We had his 2 year check up yesterday and he did great. He weighed in at 24.9 lbs and is 34.5 inches tall! And yes he is still wearing his 'Birthday Party Hat'!

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!)
