New season of soccer starts

Once again, Ryan is playing soccer.  This is his last year in this age group, so next fall will be interesting.  They are playing at a different park in DeSoto this season.

My two waifs

Ryan and Eric's Daycare had a photographer come in and take pictures.  We lucked out that it was the week before Ryan started school so he was still at the daycare.  Here are some of the high-lights, I think they turned out very cute

This one of Eric is my favorite - he looks like he was plucked off the streets during the Depression.

First Day of Kindergarten!!!!

Ryan's First day of Kindergarten!  Can you tell that he is really excited?

Grammy and Papa got this cool outfit for Ryan for his first day.

Here's his Phineas and Ferb backpack.  He also has a Phineas and Ferb lunchbox.

Grandma and Grandpa were here for the send-off.

My Boys!

Kindergarten Open House

Ryan had Kindergarten Open House on Monday to help him get ready for school the next day.  Grandma and I went with Ryan to drop off his school supplies and meet his teacher, Mrs. Paris.  She had a scavenger hunt set up to help Ryan get used to the classroom.  Ryan got to do his favorite thing: puzzles :)

Here's Ryan and Mrs. Paris

Poor Ryan had no idea what "Open House" meant; he thought we were going to be able to play in the "house" that is located in the library and was quite disappointed to find out there was no "house" in "Open House"

Good thing he had lots of fun in Mrs. Paris' room!

Colton's Bowling Birthday Party

Ryan's buddy Colton invited Ryan to his birthday party at the bowling alley. Pictures or bowling can't capture the excitement of the boys.





Max was the ringer. :)

Grandma Jean, Grandpa Leroy and the giant RV

Grandma Jean and Grandpa Leroy drove out for a visit with their new RV.  They invited Ryan to spend the night with them and he had such a GREAT time.  He got to sleep on a fold down couch and help Grandpa Leroy get the RV hooked up and check to make sure everything was working well.  Grandma Jean and Grandpa Leroy took Ryan swimming and they had so much fun!  Ryan can't wait to do it again (hopefully for longer next time haha)

Jen B comes for a visit

So the infamous Jen B came to visit us (well, and to see Manchester United play the Wizards, but I am sure it was mostly to see us....).  I work with Jen B so Ryan has heard all about her.  Ryan has been looking forward to this visit for weeks as he is fascinated by Jen B since she plays soccer :)  He made sure to have me remind Jen B to bring her soccer shoes.  Well, she didn't  disappoint; she even had Sambas, or as Ryan says "flat shoes".

It was REALLY hot and humid out, but Jen B was a trooper and went outside to play soccer with Ryan :)  I think he has a new girlfriend.

I don't think Eric was as impressed with Jen B - as long as she didn't get in the way he was fine :)

Birthday bike

Grandma and Grandpa got Ryan a new bigger bike for his birthday.  Not the best picture but it is the only one I have.
