Happy 4th of July, 2009

We had a great 4th of July! We actually watched fireworks the night before downtown at the Rockies Game! On the 4th we watched Troy G play baseball up in Loveland and let Rylan and Keeghan (they are hard to tell apart in the pix above-Rylan is in the back) play at the fields. They had a wonderful time! In the evening Rylan set off his first fireworks (flowers with Daddy), held his first sparkler, lit off a rocket, and got a lantern (Daddy held that one). He loved lighting off the rocket and wanted to do more (it landed on the roof, which was even neater in his eyes). Hope everyone had a great weekend!

More Rain = More Puddles = More Fun

Splashing in the puddles with friends and neighbors!

Visit with Paige & Zach (cousins)

We had a really fun visit with Paige and Zach late last week. We went to Pump It Up (Bounce House Place), to the park in the rain and just played at home. Rylan was soo excited to play with them both!

No New Pictures...but...

I signed Rylan up for Soccer today! He is soo excited, he thought we were going to start today (good thing we didn't it was like 90). He starts Aug 31 and it goes until Oct 31. It should be fun. I hope I can make it to all his games, they are on Saturdays (which I currently work for 1 hr on Saturdays). With Baby #2 coming around Nov 12...I also hope I'm up to making all of them! :) Can't wait to see how it goes...3 year old - can't get any better than that!

Roller Skating!

Today we went to 'Pixie Skate' Roller Skating for the first time and he was a natural! It was soo fun. They had several teachers that help them out there, no mom's on the floor! They learned all about falling down and getting up, did hokie pokey, red light/green light, limbo, and lots of other fun skating games! We had a blast! :)

Father's Day!

We had a really fun Father's Day!! We went up to a lake in Lafayette, CO which was awesome. They had fun paddle boats, a great walking trail and a big playground! We meet our good friends Mike, Sierra, and Sydney up there and played T-Ball and the kids had a blast! The paddle boats were definitely the tops!!

More June Fun....

Today, we played in the sprinkler with our friend Sydney! They had a blast...then the storms came in!!

The first couple of pictures are of Papa and Rylan playing Baseball when Papa and DoeDoe were here visiting. We only took those pictures...which is to bad. But we had a great time!

Fun Times in June

I can't believe June is on it's way out and it will be July soon! That also means Rylan will be turning 3 on July 18. That is amazing! Lucky for us he is completely potty trained now, he did this back in May. We had a fun June...lots of storms in Denver so we got to play in the gutters. Also, Rylan found out he likes to help Mommy with the laundry...which makes it a very long process!

Painting the Dogs...

Today Rylan had a great time playing outside while Mommy did chores around the house. When Mommy looked outside Rylan was painting the dogs with his foamie paint brushes and water. Funny stuff...Raven loved it but Millie wasn't much on it!!!

Missouri Trip - May 2009

Got back from our Missouri Trip last Sunday Evening. It was a quick and whirlwind of a trip. We went that way for our neice's (Brianna) graduation. We made it for that, headed to Branson, spent some time in Silver Dollar City, back to a graduation BBQ, and then back to KC to leave the next morning for CO. Here are some cute pix. Rylan road his first rollercoaster in Silver Dollar City and loved it-he and Daddy also road the Teacups. Mommy is limited to riding because she is 16 weeks pregnant. Rylan enjoyed playing with his cousins and spending time helping Grandma Peggy too. It was a fun trip!! Rylan also did great in his big boy undies, with no accidents in the car or anywhere else...Daddy taught him to pee on the side of the road standing up!

Baseball Season...

Yes...so I am updating because I felt the pressure after my sis-n-law Maria updated her blog and hadn't for a year! (ha, I had to put that in there). Here is Rylan hitting some balls off his T. He always wants to play baseball. He says, 'I practice, I practice, I practice' and then hits it. So cute...

Field Day at School

Yes, at Rylan's School they have 2-year old Field Day. I have to say I was a little nervous as to what exactly they would do!!! But he had a blast, even if the day was a little cool for late April. They did tons of fun activites: parachute, egg carry, kicking the ball between cones, potato sacks, and more. Mommy didn't get to attend but Daddy did and from what he said Rylan and Sydney really watch out for each other....that's good considering they are always picking on each other! HA!
