National Western Stock Show 2010

Mommy, Kara, Rylan and Matthew went to the Stock Show in January. We had a wonderful time. Rylan couldn't wait to ride the pony's again (like last year - see NWSS 2009 for those photos)! He also enjoyed playing in the indoor Rainbow System and the live animals (especially the big cows)!! He got to sit on a longhorn too!!

Maxwell the Monkey

Rylan had his first big school project a couple of weeks ago. He got to take home Maxwell the Monkey for several days and play with him. We had to take pictures and write a story about what they did together. They had picnics, went to Lil Monkey Biz, the Stock Show, and the Oatmeal Festival in Lafayette, CO. The picture on the bed with all the animals protrays his 'picnics' with his animals. Can you find the monkey??

Holiday Fun...

Rylan's Christmas Program

This program was the cutest thing ever!! Rylan sang his heart out, they sang Jingle Bells, Ring Those Bells, and We Wish You A Merry Christmas. His BFF Sydney beside him in striped dress sang her heart out too and loved shaking her bells..he has his hand on his head so he doesn't get hit! They were sooooo silly....

Family....

Here are some fun pictures from recent times. My parents came out for 10 days in early December and we all had a great time...lots of baby holding. The weather was horrible for us but we managed. Kara, my neice came out too, to visit with Grandma and Grandpa...Rylan just LOVES having her here and would love for her to be here all the time (we need to work on that). The picture of Rylan and Sydney was just too cute not to post - they are playing doctor, there recent fav pasttime...see Syd with the shot? HAHAHA...
