Ella is here!

One of my good friends from my online buddy group (July '05 Moms) just moved out here to Kansas from the D.C. area!

Jess, her husband, Bob, and their daughter, Ella now live about 10 minutes away.

Ella, as you would expect is also a July 2005 baby, born on July 5.

Ella and Ryan get along great - in fact Ella calls Ryan "Rhine"

Ryan vs. bike

and the bike won.

note the road rash on the forehead and the knee....

Ready for school pictures!

Ryan had pictures at school today, so here he is waiting for Mommy and Daddy to finish getting ready.

Birds Part 2

Here are the rest of the "bird" pictures ~ as you can see we have a unique bird that has a very fuzzy tail....

Birds

We love watching birds, so I thought I would post some pictures of our latest visitors. Too bad it was a cloudy day, but we did get a few good ones.

all my pictures didn't upload, so I will post the second half tonight

Grammy and Papa

Grammy and Papa watched Ryan on Saturday so we could go see Dave Ramsey live! Here is a picture Grammy sent us of Ryan in his new fort.

Ryan's New Playset

the playset is almost complete, and from the look on Ryan's face, I think we have found where we will be spending most of our spring/summer/fall weekends!

Grandma Jean came out to visit, we had beautiful weather and we all went to Deanna Rose Farmstead in Olathe, KS

Ryan REALLY enjoyed feeding the goats, he laughed every time the goat would take the food. If I can figure out how to post a video, I will put one up of him feeding the goats.
