Finally Halloween Night...

Rylan proudly wore his bear costume for Halloween. He also wore it MANY times before Halloween and really enjoyed playing in it around the house. Silly Boy...we had a fun night!

(the first 2 pix are of him before Halloween playing in the house with the full bear outfit on)

Halloween Madness

We had so much going on the week of Halloween. Rylan had a small party here at our house, he had a school party, and a Trunk-or-Treat at church and then finally we did the Pumpkin Patch, and went out for Halloween Night in our neighborhood (where Rylan got many special treats)! Grandma 'DoDo' came from Arizona for the week too, she dressed up as well and celebrated with us. Also Grandma Peggy game Halloween night and through the weekend. The 2 Grandma's did some serious shopping the Saturday after Halloween!!! :)

Silver Dollar City

So the last time I was in Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO was in 8th Grade with my good friend Amy. Wow, it's changed alot-well Branson has SDC is about the same. We had a nice time and spent from 10am-5pm at the park. Rylan liked riding the rides in the kiddie area and we enjoyed walking around on a cool fall day with lots of colors. We were bummed that Rylan could not play in Huck's Tree House (Tom Sawyer's friend).

More Fun Vacation Shots

Here are some final shots from our MO Trip. The first picture is one with Mommy's Friends and Kids. Then comes Rylan and Izzy hugging and Rylan on the quad with Uncle Terry (who he said he wan't to go visit this am). And lastly Rylan on the big frog at the Conservation Museum in Jefferson City. There was 3 frogs total like this and boy he was SO excited to see them! He loves frogs...

More Missouri Pictures

Rylan had so many new adventures while we were in Missouri. Here he is on a horse named 'Packin', it's the neighbors horse (Greg's Dads neighbor) that came over to eat Pears and Apples. Also, Rylan really liked playing with all the cats at Grandpa Ball's house-this little kitty still had no name. And NO, we did not let Rylan jump into the cover of the pool....

Missouri Trip, PT II - Farm Pictures

Rylan had quite a time at the farm while we were in Missouri. He got to ride in a Gator and see the cows in the fields (we rode right into the pack), ride a tractor, ride a HUGE combine, sit in a Semi-Truck and pull the horn, and play in the corn silos! What a day! He also saw a real snake slithering around the property. He had so much fun! He even got a John Deere Sweatshirt and several John Deere Toys from Grandpa Ball!

Missouri Trip - Oct. 2008

The several next postings will be from our Missouri Trip in October. We had a great time and saw lots of our friends. Here you will see Rylan and Grandpa Ball & Rylan and friend Izzy DeSchepper. This was taken at a neat pumpkin patch in Liberty, MO.

1st School Field Trip!

Rylan and Mommy went on their first school field trip last week. We went to Miller's Farm and Pumpkin Patch. We got to ride a big tracker/hayride out to the fields and pick corn, potatoes, onions, beets, carrots, pumpkins, and squash. It was really fun!! Mommy would of taken more pictures but it was 48 degrees that day so it wasn't the best picture moment kind of day!

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....
