Buddies!

Such good buddies - Ry had a good time pushing Madison around in the stroller....until he got bored / distracted, walked away, and left her in the grass! We'll have to work on his gentleman skills!

Fall Pictures!

We had to improvise our "Pumpkin Patch" pictures this year!

Even if we had found a patch here in Japan, Japanese pumpkins are green on the outside and it just wouldn't be the same!

Since everything in Japan is crammed so close together, it was challenging to find a shot that wasn't full of buildings, or fences in the background!

But we did it, and they turned out great! And Ry had fun with his little pumpkins!

This little booger will be running in no time!

Artsie Fartsie :)

A couple cool shots I took today!

I love the weather coming in behind him!

Flip Flops! He still has the cutest lil feet!

What a Difference a Year Makes!

I can't believe it was a year ago when I took these pictures of Ry with the laundry!

He's almost too big for the basket now!

Gotta love 'em!

Yea Baby!

Another Sweet Moment...

Such a happy boy!

I was actually trying to get another video of him giggling when I captured this instead! Another first and I'm sure DaDa will be thrilled! I told Guy through email not to take the sneezing on his picture personally!

First Hug!

We were at the park the other morning when Ry decided to give his buddy Madison a great big hug! Madison's mom was quick enough to capture it with her camera! What a sweetie!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like...Autumn!

Ry and I took some time today to just hang out at the park, soak up some sunshine, and of course...play in the leaves!

Creepy, or Cool...

I can't decide! It's been a wicked awful day and to try and cheer myself up I dove into iPhoto and Photoshop to mess around with one of Ry's pictures...what do you think...creepy, or cool? I think my vote is for creepy, but the eyes are kinda cool...

Chit Chatting!

This is one of Ry's new favorite things to do besides rolling his truck up and down the hallway! He will take the phone in our bedroom and chat on it for a while, put it back on the phone base, and then pick it back up and chat some more! Over and over and over! I apologize for the shakiness of the capture - he was walking around me but I didn't want to stop filming the chatter! You can see him try and put the phone in the base - only there isn't one on the coffee table, and then in true Ryan fashion....he takes it down the hall and throws it over the baby gate!

Almost Fall!

Believe it or not, it is only now cooling off enough to drag out the comfy Autumn clothes!

Who can resist a studly lil dude in overalls!?!

Ry likes to cruise up and down the street whenever Mommy will let him!

As you can see, he is very happy to leave the front yard!

Wheeeee!!!!

Look at me, I can slide all by myself! And yes, Mommy was laughing when I almost wiped out!

Cutie Patootie!

What a cutie! This picture reminds me of the cheezy posed school pictures!

Boo! Caught you!

Such a sweet boy!

I love this one.

Can't Decide...

Black and White or Color??? :)

At The Park...Where Else???

Such a big boy!

Fun With Shadows!

At The Park!

Goodness, those eyes get me every time!

Loving the park, but where do I start?!?

Such a boy..already playing in the dirt!

Almost running!

Getting a lift from Mommy!

Just Like Daddy

ABC Soup

I was in the kitchen making lunch on the stove and Ryan wanted to cook too!

I gave him a pot and we filled it with his alphabet magnets!

He had a great time stirring them around and even tasting his yummy cooking!

Ry Loves to Play Wii

Check out my score!!!

Pictures From The Park!

Ugh, I love me some black and white!

Ryan had a great time running around in the grass!

And crawling up the hill!

...And then walking around some more!
