Last but not least... Thomas!

These are the tracks that Mommy and Daddy have a love/HATE relationship with. As you can see he started making his own track. We tell him they need to stay this way (well finished) and that he can't take them apart. It lasts about 30 minutes and then he builds them himself. Which most of the time the trains find themselves UNDER the couch. Real fun! He thinks it's the best thing but for us it's rather annoying. He can sit there for an hour playing but then when he takes them apart is when we start hating them. :( Good entertainment for him... for the most part!

As I write he sees this and he's like THOMAS... I wanna play with Thomas. Nope, he's not listening so he can't play with him. Then he just said I'll be good in church Mommy! The first and both times that Thomas was taken away for a weekwas because he's not good in church. So, we will see how tomorrow ends up. No Thomas until after Church....maybe!

Christmas Tree 2010

I'm not for fake trees but this year we just don't have room for a big tree or real tree so a little decorative tree will just have to do. Rylan LOVES it! Not in that location now but it was the best place for that time and for the picture! :) Cheese!

This is our little Chirstmas tree this year. :(

1st Day of 'School' 2010

Before going to school! Mommy & Rylan....

Daddy & Rylan...

and No picture in front of the school because he won't allow it! :( It would be a really cute picture too because there are penguins... whatever kids will be kids!

Going thru pictures

I found this picture tonight that I forgot I had. this is a great picture of my Great Grandpa's family. We miss you Grandpa!

Going to Build a Snowman... with GrandMA!

Getting ready to go build a snowman with Grandma. She didn't have the clothes but Rylan did so off they went. Yes, those pants are Mommy's old pants. Fit him and they work so why buy new?...don't look too close! They show their age. Two Best Friends going to head out and build a snowman!

This is funny because I didn't ever realize that all the outdoor stuff we did with my dad. Not everything but snowman building.. definately NOT my Mother! She asked me... Andrea how do you start a snowman. I think my look on my face was priceless. Are you serious... start rolling. Well they did it their own way and just packed it on.

Not the most porportional but it's being made.

Finished product! Rylan was so proud. Just until the other day the snowman was still there. When it melted away he was very sad!

No, we didn't have any buttons so why won't cucumbers work? I told my Mom the he looked like Snoopy. He did have arms I just didn't get the picture of it. They couldn't go in without putting RYLAN's hat on the snowman.

Making it perfect.

Now looking at it.. it was the same size as Rylan. :) Fun times!!!

Even though my Mom didn't say it but I think she even had a fun time making the snowman! :)

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, CARS, Toy Story,... now THOMAS!

We went shopping one day when my Mom was here and he was decent(NOT great but ok)....so we found these pj's and he was all over them. He thought this was the best thing EVER!!!! He would wear them every night if he could. I like them because they have the feet in them so he doesn't have to wear socks. AND his room I think is freezing so these are pretty warm. :) We also have been having some listening troubles lately. My mom graciously bought him a Thomas track at Kohl's (yes, and everytime we go by the Kohl's, which is everyday, he makes sure to let me know that's where he got his Thomas!) So, when he doesn't listen he doesn't get to play with them. (Thomas and Bash.. another engine) This is not fun for Rylan or I but how else am I going to teach him? I'm not sure if any of you have watched Thomas on tv before but please do and then take a shot of vodka because it's horrible! I can handle a lot of children's shows but this is bad. Sorry but it is. He loves it and I always think of my Grandpa Jim putting the trains on the tracks. :)

Ready, Set, HIKE!

Well this was one of the MANY times he hiked but I think everyone would agree (well my mom, Jeremy, and I) that his main thing he liked to do is just plain out tackle. Most of the time the football was no where in site. Might have to stop playing it because he's being a little rough with his friends at school. He has another buddy Braden that I think with the both of them cause a little bit of trouble. The teacher told me she just has to keep an eye out for them because he like to tease their friends and play a little rough. :( Eek! Where's my sweet little boy?!

and he's OFF!
