Big Shoes to Fill

Here is Rylan with his shoe obsession. He is now trying to put our shoes on and he thinks it's super funny!!

Zoo Days...

Mommy & Rylan went to the zoo this past week. We haven't been for quite a long time. It's just been so hot here and Rylan is taking 2 naps a day still.

Here he is enjoying his day. And what a cute outfit Grandma Peggy got for him...

Rylan Walking!!

Rylan started walking on Aug 14! He is very happy about his new found skill. He is really walking quite well now.

Daddy's Garden Goods

"Here is a picture of my Daddy and I with his grapes that he grew. He tried for 2 years to get grapes and we finally got two bunches this year. I really like shaking the heck out of them and watching them fall on the ground. I definitely don't like the taste..."

My new Shoes

Rylan has this thing for Crocs shoes. Several times a day he gets my Crocs and insists on playing with them and making me put them on my feet. So, I broke down and bought him a pair. He was laughing and screaming at them the whole way home in the car. Here they are...

Swimming and Pudding Pops!!

This past week I bought Rylan a small blow up pool and he was enjoying it a whole lot!! Also I was glad to see that he liked Jello Pudding Pops as much as I did as a kid and still do!!

Birthday Boy!!

We celebrated Rylan's 1st Birthday this past weekend with friends and family! Here are some pix..enjoying his cake, sharing his cake, being done with his cake, and of course opening presents! HA. More to come...

Swimming with Corrine

Our good friend Corrine has a new cute blow up pool! Rylan and Corrine got to play for awhile in it last Friday. They both had fun. Rylan thought the parts that were long and yellow on the pool were bananas...

The Aquarium - Denver, CO

I took Rylan to the aquarium in Denver the day before the fourth. I'll remember next time not to take him the day before a holiday! He had a great time at the big shark tank at the end. He was at that area for about 45 minutes screaming, laughing and talking to the sharks! It was funny!

My first 4th!!!!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Daddy and his Friends

Here is a picture of Daddy and his friends at his 20th year reunion. They have all been friends since Grade School!! (Steve Z, Troy G, Matt H, Daddy, and Joe M)

11 months

We went to Glenwood Springs, CO for Greg's 20th High School Reunion. Here are some cute shots of Rylan at the park. The third picture is with our good friends Sandy and Steve Zanella. We all had a nice time!

Newport Beach, CA

This past week Rylan and Mommy went to visit our friends Sierra and Sydney in Newport Beach, CA. We had so much fun!! We went to the beach two days and both Rylan and Sydney had their first taste of sand. I think Rylan liked it if you look at his picture! They really had fun together playing all week.

June Pictures

One day I was in the living room and Rylan was in the Kitchen so I looked over at him (he was being real quiet) and he was up walking with his walker....he hasn't done it since...(see the picture)

Botanical Gardens - Denver

We recently took a trip to the Botanical Gardens in Denver with our friends Cheryl, her daughter Corinne and Cheryl's Mother. We had a great time. Here are some pictures of Rylan and Corinne. Rylan actually slept through the whole thing (after our picnic) and woke up at the end.

10 months

Rylan passed out in his stroller on a recent zoo trip. Below is a picture of Rylan with his first nose bleed. He has learned to stick his finger in his nose and thinks it's funny...but he went too far and it started bleeding!
