Hart Park

It has been a long while since the last time I posted anything. So I decided to post some fun photos of us at Hart Park. We went a few weeks ago and had a great time. Ryan loved being able to run around in a place so open. The parks and recreation department has made some nice improvements on it as well. The play grounds are really nice now, and all the equipment is updated.

Ryan was very interested to see where his pine cones went after dropping them in the burrows. I'm sure the squirrels didn't mind...

Knotts Berry Farm 2010

The week of Christmas Sean and I took some vacation time. On one of the days we went to Knotts Berry Farm with my brother and his family.

This was Ryan's first time meeting a character. He did very well. He wasn't scared at all, just very interested

All Play and No Work

This is some of what Ryan does to entertain himself while I am getting ready for work in the mornings. He's a perfect fit!

Happy Halloween

This year for Halloween we decided to dress Ryan up. Last year he was still pretty little. We went with a Skeleton theme. Ryan looked too cute. Sean and I also dressed for the theme, but much more toned down. I just wore a t-shirt with a skull and cross bones and Sean had on a Goonies logo shirt. We forgot to get a photo with all of us in it, but you get the idea. We started off at Sean's parents house to visit and have dinner and then caught up with my brother and his family for some trick or treating.

Aren't they all so cute?

Ryan is still too little to really understand the concept of strangers giving him things. But after a while he got used to the rhythm of things...and then he started trying to go into everyone's homes.

Our jack o lanterns.

Pumpkin Time

We headed out to the Banducci Pumpkin Patch again this year. It was a lot of fun. Ryan had a blast playing with all of the pumpkins. We even did the corn maze!

Ryan's 1st Birthday!

We had family and close friends over to celebrate Ryan's first birthday. It turned out just perfect. I cannot believe it has been a year since he was born. He was so tiny at first but now he's growing up into such a handsome little boy. He will always be my little baby though.

The cake I made. I'm quite proud of it.
He was in such a happy mood.

Totally posing for the camera's.

He was very interested in the texture and feel of the frosting. It's not everyday he gets to play with his food.

Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate, and for the wonderful gifts you brought.

Disneyland!

We were invited to go to Disneyland by my brother and his family and since Sean and I were on vacation we decided to go. It turned out to be pretty fun even though it was hot. My brother and his family go all the time and they really know their way around, that helped out a lot. We didn't get to go on too many rides, having to work around Ryan's schedule, but we did hit most of the good ones. Indiana Jones is still my favorite =).

Zoo Day

We took a trip to the Fresno Chaffe Zoo on Monday. It was a great day. The weather was good, hot, but most of the zoo is shaded. And there were maybe 20 other people there besides us. It's the perfect sized zoo for a one year old.

We went to the Winged Wonder Show and I volunteered to go up to see the demonstration on how quietly owls fly. They put the landing post directly behind me so the owl would fly right over my head. It was very cool.

That's where he landed, and I was sitting on the tree stump with the little green pillow on it.

Ryan's 1st Beach Day

This was the first trip to the beach for Ryan. We had taken him to Morro Bay a few months ago, but this was the first time on the actual sand and in the water. He loved it! I thought that the water might be a little too cold for him, but as soon as he touched it with his toes he wanted to be down in it. And the sand, oh the sand. He couldn't get enough.rabbing the sand, playing in the sand, eating the sand...
