Random

Sooo...it's been a while since we (I) have posted an update. Matt pointed this out the other day which is interesting because I thought he had zero interest in our blog. It's been about a month since I promised my Grandma in Canada that I would update with some photos of Ryan and I think its been about 3 weeks since my friend commented that my blog needed to be updated. I have another post I'm working on...actually that implies I have done more than thought of it in my head...so I'm not working on it, I just know that I have other pictures that I need to post. I'm the proud owner of two cameras. I have them for separate purposes but funny, I can't seem to find my camera with Ryan's birthday pictures on it. I could look harder, or I could post from the camera that I have sitting on my desk!! Since it could take up the rest of nap time to find the other camera and then you would all have to wait three more months for a new post...I'm opting to post with these random photos that I have accessible now!!


A long time ago Matt and I went to the Braves game (it would have to be over a week ago since they didn't even make it to the playoffs) Matt and I usually go to several games during the season and this year was no exception. But the game I have pictures of is from when we went to the Braves v. Yankees and got to stand on the field for batting practice. We were thisclose to the players and Matt was in heaven. He states it was totally "worth it" and would do it again.

If you follow baseball you know how old these pictures are as Francouer was traded to the Mets mid-season.

Matt kept making sure I was taking all these pictures of players...so these few are a representation of the over 50 that I have!!

Ryan went to his first movie with some of his friends from the ward....it was the free morning movie, good thing since he lasted about 30 minutes then wanted to get up and run around!

And this picture represents the over 100 (no joke) self portraits that I found of this camera. Ryan loves to take pictures (I also have a ton of random pictures of our computer and the carpet) but his favorite thing to snap a photo of is himself.

Here is what he looks like (since it seriously has been that long since I posted a picture) while he dances behind the desk to "his music." (Usually the Four Seasons).

Ryan has a very strange personality quirk. We used to think it was funny but now we find it kind of annoying. As far as I know it's not some two-year-old behavior so much as Ryan is just weird. But he likes to stack things. EVERYTHING. But only things that shouldn't be stacked. Stacking legos is not a challenge because they are meant to go together. He only likes to stack things that shouldn't be on top of each other. And when he can't, he gets pretty upset (that's the annoying part). So whenever he stacks something, he wants to show us. So he will come and get us to show us his latest accomplishment.

When he showed me this one I was kind shocked, he usually stacks his cars or other toys, I couldn't believe he didn't spill anything so I got the camera so I could show Matt later....well since then, he wants me to take a picture of all of his "creations" For your sake I only posted a few (actually its a lot but I have WAY more as this is really his favorite activity!)

This is one his early works, only two cars!

As you can see, he is starting to get more stacked together.

He loved this arrangement and did it over and over in different places all day.


On the couch is challenging because it isn't a hard surface, but don't try to tell him he can't do it.

His greatest accomplishment, four cars, on his racetrack. So excited.



I made him get in the picture, you can see he had raspberry crystal light with his lunch.
