18 Months!

Just try and get a picture of an 18 month old while he's laying down and holding still!

We did lots of tickling on the bed today.




RIGHT: Ryan at 18 months old.










BELOW: Ryan at 1 month. Wow! He's changed.



I can't believe that Ryan is 18 months old! Time has flown with this little guy. And we sure love him. He's talking lots now and loves helping in the kitchen and going down the "big" slide.

Beautiful Day

Today was so beautiful outside. Ryan could have been without the hat, but since he was willing to wear it...we kept it on.



Recently Ryan has discovered the joy of going down the big slide! He pretty much shoots off the bottom! it is so much fun to watch. The picture doesn't show the end result of Ryan shooting into the "wood chips" (rubber).

We went to Zion's this last week. (We as in, me, Ryan, my Dad(Edpa), and Ashlyn.) Here's a few pictures from our adventure.


This one was just taken yesterday and I am just posting it because I like it.

Busy Week

This past week has been busy. First, we had our Trunk or Treat last Friday. Ryan wouldn't get down for the treat or tricking but when it came time for chili he got down. Mike was a black ninja, Ryan a cowboy...he would only wear a vest (and even that was difficult!).
I was nothing....It's not like me not to dress up but I couldn't think of anything.
Next, Halloween Night! Ryan is excited because he gets a bag. He actually started to get down at some houses and was knocking and so excited to pick a candy out and put it in his bag. Then, we came to a house with a man dressed as a leprechaun who was dancing around yelling, "Happy Halloween!" Ryan tried to climb up me! It took several houses and a few dogs later to get back down again.
Sunday afternoon shake. Ryan really knows how to cheese it up now.
Sunday afternoon walk with Daddy. It was such a perfect day and we hardly saw anyone out.

Picture of Ryan and Mike on a bridge...I know you can't actually see them.

Mike teaching Ryan to stick fight.
On Wednesday, Ryan & I went to the zoo with Constance and Jade. Isn't Jade such a doll?
Ryan was excited to get on this Lion and ride. He's never wanted to do that before.
This isn't new though. Ryan likes to climb on everything. He was really enjoying the fences around the zoo to climb on. The kids had a good time at the zoo. Both came home and took 3 hour naps after!
