First Days of school 2014

Sean was NOT happy

about starting school....

Best sort-of smile I got!

He hid....

Maybe...if I don't see him....

there will be no school!

Zee-Zee makes everything better!

Trent was a great helper,

trying to ease his worries.

The funny thing was,

he knew about half his class already!

Once it was pick-up time though....

I got my 

silly, happy boy back.

We went to his favorite restaurant 

(the Tiger Restaurant!)

Then had a

Celebration bike-riding afternoon!

Corrected info...

with smiles!

Trent returned

to Shining Stars

for the third year.

So, he knew what to expect.

And was very happy about

his upcoming year!

I love that he ruuunnnnnnssss

out to me!!

More summer time!

We finally 

took the boys to their 

first Movie!

They loved it

and

did pretty good

sitting still 

that long!

They completed

their summer reading program.

I was soooo proud of them!

They ended up not 

winning the big prizes,

but got lots of

coupons for free stuff!

So,

we immediately used one!

Great job Ryan boys!

20 years later....

I can not believe

it was time for my

20 year class reunion!!

I wasn't too sure about going,

but sooo glad I did!

We had a fun time

checking out my 

High School.

Then Jake and I

had a great time

with old (and new)

friends

at a night out!

Hey, I think we look pretty good! :)

Then we got to

meet the newest little

Jabara!

And hang with some

very special ladies!

what a great weekend!

Summer Time!

The J-Ryan Band

played at the

Ness County Fair!!

He was happy....

until the ride moved!

Trent loved the rides....

And Sean loved

the games!

Release the froggies!

Our little green thumbs!

The boys love

playing ABC mouse

and slowly,

Trent made it through the 1st level. Yeah!

love, the rockinryans

Wild Animals!

The farm flooded

with rain water, 

sending hundreds of these

little guys into the pond/land 

where Jake works.

He scooped up a bunch

and brought them home for the boys.

Froggies~

We had tons of fun

with these little guys!

They grew VERY fast.

After giving many to friends,

the rest were

set free at Big Creek 

when they could Hop away!

Calm Cat~

So proud of this guy!

And very happy I don't 

have to write Thank You's anymore!

Deer~

Our little entrepreneur

decided to sell

some of his antlers. 

Long story short,

he made out very well!

Hot 

~Dog!

Cook out time!

We had a fire pit

put in

and every time

we planned to use it,

the wind came up or it rained!

This time we got the dogs cooked,

then it poured rain!

love, the rockinryans
