New Chompers!!!

Gonna Be Buff!

Ryan takes his nightly exercises very seriously :)

Ry Sad...

I call this his "Whaddaya mean Dada gone?" face. Deployment stinks, but at least he'll be home the end of August instead of the typical seven month deployment :) There's always a bright side... hehe sometimes you just have to dig a little to find it!

 

Lovin' Him Some Popcorn!

Watching the Goonies and eating popcorn... what else could we have done on a rainy Sunday?!

Ry's New Big Boy Seat!

He loves it! It's no longer a struggle to get him in and out of the car and he can see out the window now!

Ry's New Hideout!

We had some fun playing under the dining room table tonight! Check out that upper tooth coming in!

Ry and Daddy

Chuhi! (chew - high)

Here is a picture of Ryan living it up here in Japan! No, he wasn't really drinking the chuhi (kinda like a really mild wine cooler in a can :) But he did have a fun time playing in the grass!

Daddy's Cover!

Daddy's home!

And Ryan has discovered the world of patches! He could spend hours ripping them off and attempting to put them back on Daddy's flightsuit :)

1st Mother's Day!

Ryan and I had a lovely brunch with the other Diamondback Mommies!

Almost there!

It seems as though Ryan is a little confused as to which comes first: the eating, or the prayer!

Ry

mmm hmm...there's just something about black and white!

Like Mother Like Son

If I recall correctly, I believe there are some pictures of me as a youngster destroying a package of diapers too!

A New Tooth!!!

Nothing to see yet, but I felt a new tooth today that has broken through the gums. Must have happened in the last day or so - no wonder he's been such a pain...he was IN pain!! Poor kid :( Nothing to see yet but if you are looking at him it is the upper right tooth! Hopefully the other one will show up soon or he might be kinda funny looking!

Suuuuper Ryan!

Well at least with Daddy gone I can feel safe knowing I have a super-hero living with me! Never fear, his cape was just at the drycleaners :)

Ah, That Face!

He looks so much bigger in pictures too!

Time to Play

Seriously now...do all kids wake up this happy? Honestly, 9 times out of 10 this is what I see in the mornings or after naps when I go into his room and say "Do I hear monkeys in here?"

Kid's shirts say the darnedest things!
