Baby Jesus and the GORILLA

I asked Dylan to go and find the sheep that went with his manger.
He came back and said,"I couldn't find the sheep, but this monkey wants in."
I'm not sure what version you've read, but our stable has a monkey!

PiCkEd!

I came in to the bathroom tonight to find Dyl "Picking" his hair!
He had to get up on the tub and have a good look at it each time he combed through it.
I think it's time for a haircut?!

Natural Instinct

Here is exactly how I found him while we were camping.
Serious son?

Sound asleep in the great outdoors!

So Happy Birthday to you Berta, cheetah, Alex(from Madagascar), bolt, and Prince Caspian.
Dad and I love you very much and cannot believe how many years have already passed!
Thank you for ALWAYS being the highlight of our day!

Yep... I'm a SoCceR MOM!!!

So, it's official. I'm a soccer mom, and I LOVE IT!
Seriously, it's been one of my favoritest sports since I played it in elementary with Mr. Ferguson. Fillmore was to small for a real league so I just got a small taste, but it was oh so tasty!!
Here is his debut, Dylan James Ryan with the blue tigers(not sure where the blue comes in, but they ALL voted on it)!
A little story goes like this...
Dylan went to practice on Thursday and all was good. He practiced hard, loved his new friends(mostly talks about Luke the first boy he met) and participated the entire practice time. Then Saturday morning game time rolls around.
All is good til someone gets aggressive and gives our little precious an elbow, and the drama breaks loose. Crocodile tears all over the place. I wish SO BAD I would have taken a picture of him crying because the blue team shoved him (in his words) and of the rest of the drama to follow.
It's 10:50 in the morning, probably 100 degrees outside and I am playing soccer with my 3 year old. I held his hand and ran up and down the field. I helped him kick and I gave him fruit snacks for "soccer energy".
Talk about living out the glory days...
Don't worry, if I have to I will do it EVERY single game til November 7th just to say my son was involved and part of the team!!!!

Just Dylan

Here's how we found him... Tiger, Necklace, Poo Tana Blanket. All snuggly on the floor:)

Family Ties

That's right it was the 5th (couldn't believe that much time has gone by) annual Brown, Skinner, Ryan family reunion!
As usual we had a blast and this years theme(cuz mom always comes up with one) was "Family Ties". We all wore "tie- dye" t-shirts and had a scavenger hunt hiding things that "tied" each individual family together and then all of us as a whole.
We decided to take it back to our roots and head to Fillmore for a long dirty weekend in the canyon. We stayed at one of our favorite childhood spots, Pistol Rock!
The men were totally unsure of the woman's choice in camping and fishing spots, but we proved them wrong(as usual):}

Dylan helping dad drive up the canyon like mom used to do!

Justin with his first fishy;[ Poor thing. Nice arms babe:}
The first attempt at the "timed" family pic! Look what we got
Second attempt...look at my bad bad habit
Ta da!!! If your wondering why my shirt doesn't match-it was the ONLY one that faded. I'm always taking one for the team

Making crafts. Don't look at my posture. That is sick and wrong
