Rylan always has a great time playing in the leaves every year! This year mommy had to do the raking...although my Dr. doesn't think I should be doing it! HA, I was just hoping maybe it would throw me into labor! Because of the cold weather early this year our leaves fell early and we didn't get much color. But we had fun playing anyway....

Miller Farms Preschool Field Trip

Rylan had his first field trip with school at the beginning of October. We went to Miller Farms on a beautiful sunny day! We ended up going a day early with another class which was a wonderful idea because the next day it snowed! We took my neighbor Terri with us because Daddy had his foot surgery the day before. We ended up picking: pie pumpkins, red potatoes, yellow onions, carrots, cabbage, and some corn (it was frozen though). I made some homemade vegi soup with our loot. If you look back a year ago in October we went to the same place...but it was much colder!!

1st Circus...for Daddy and Rylan!!

HOORAY for cotton candy!! That is what Rylan and Mommy say. Mommy loves cotton candy, but only in pink! We went to the circus at the beginning of Oct and had a wonderful time. We got a great deal on the tickets and sat really close...the cotton candy/hat combo was $10 and the light was $20 (HA). We saw the new Ringling Bros Zing, Zang, Zoom Circus! Rylan actually fell asleep during the middles of it...to much sugar and excitment for him. We all had a blast!

Backyard Pumpkins...

Every year we grow our own pumpkins, this year we grew Cinderella Red Pumpkins and White. The White Ones didn't make it through the dog tramples and the frost. We had to pick ours early this year due to frost and snow. But they turned out pretty good. (Paige and Zach-check them out)!

September Gone By...

Just some left over September Pictures to share. Yes, I know I look tired in the picture with my Mom and Rylan...and it's because I probably was!! HAHA...

Swimming Lessons

Rylan and his BFF Sydney have been going to swim lessons for several weeks now and both love it. It was hard at first but they are doing great. We've had 3 different teachers but now have a male teacher named Shane, who they adore. Rylan is quite the swimmer he even goes under the water on his own! He did it 6 times yesterday, it about give mommy a heart attack but I am thankful he is comfortable.

Mr Turtle

Uncle Terry came to town from Missouri and brought a turtle for his friend's kid. Rylan got to watch the turtle for a couple of days. "Hey Mr Turtle, I love you" - quoting Rylan. He even tried to kiss it.

Rylan's 1st Day of 3-year Old Preschool

Today was Rylan's 1st day back to school! He woke up and said, 'no school' this morning but ended up having a fun day. He has 15 kids in his classroom, which is alot more than last year. He has several returning friends too! He was being pretty silly this morning for pictures, as you can see!

Rylan's 1st Soccer Practice and Game

Rylan had his first soccer practice and game this morning. They do a 30 min practice and 30 min game. It was quite cute seeing 3-4 year olds running all over the place after the ball. They really do stick together in a bunch too. Rylan enjoyed kicking the ball and made the first goal of the game (not sure he knew what he was doing but ok)! After that he started getting tired and the last 15 min or so was needing to 'rest' and 'drink water'! We have 5 more games to go...next weekend we get a break. He looked soo cute in his soccer gear! :)

Playing the backyard and being silly....

Childrens Museum - Denver

This past week we went to the Children's Museum in Denver with Sierra/Sydney and had a blast! The kids really did their own things, Sydney really liked the grocery store and kitchen part and Rylan didn't even want to go in there. Rylan loved the assembly plant, firetruck, job site area, and vet hospital (and of course Train Tables). He has such a great time!!
