Ryan and Ella

We all went over to Bob, Jess, Ella, and Gabriel's house for dinner and hair cuts

it was a beautiful day so Ryan and Ella had fun playing on her cool playset.

Ella is deathly afraid of ladybugs - and her slide is covered in them. We either had to shoo them all away for her - or she would send Ryan down first to clear a path.

Notice she is not convinced they are all gone.

Big Boy Bed!

We are in the process of converting Ryan's room - so the first step was to bring in the big boy bed. (with train sheets, of course)

Hippie Ryan

Ryan got a set of Blue's Clues stickers from Jackson's birthday party - he thought they would look cool on his pants... what do you think?

Jackson's Birthday Party

Jackson had a Blue's Clues party for his 3rd birthday - it was a lot of fun

Here is Ryan and Jackson writing down the clues in their notebooks

Adrien and little Gabriel

Trever and Rocket - this was a big hit at the party

Ella holding all the balloons...

Here's the boys searching for clues

Ella

Jackson finding a clue!

Ryan and Rocket

Looks like everyone found the last clue

Boo!

Opening all the presents

Transportation Museum with Grandma and Grandpa

We went to St. Louis to see Grandma and Grandpa - and on Saturday we all went to the Transporation Museum. WOW There are tracks upon tracks of trains - engines, cabooses, dining cars, you name it. There are some that are so old that you cannot go into them, but we found so many for Ryan to run through and look at.

Here is Ryan after running through a tank

This engine was really cool - Ryan got to sit in the engineer seat

and then Grandma and Ryan pulled the rope to ring the bell

There was a whole row of cars pulled up to a platform that you couldn't go in, but you could look in the windows

Ryan thought this hand car would be fun.... a little difficult by yourself

Ryan then thought he could move this trailer (it needed to be on the tracks)...unfortunately his super power is not strength

Ah...back to the hand car - this time with Daddy to help!

This was really cool - it was only able to go about 5-10 feet due to a chain, but Ryan had a lot of fun
