Sledding with the Ryles

The four kids huffin it up the hill. Ady, Josh, Gabe and Luke had such a great time sledding on Saturday!

He's intense

He has a complete disregard for his body and his safety. He figured out a winning technique for the races with Gabe. Josh would either run a few steps then jump head first onto the sled, or just flip down on it --similar to how I imagine the first step of bungee jumping would be -- and haul butt down the hill.

But look how much fun he had.

Luke LOVED sledding. He told me over and over again that Sledding is Awesome!  (or more accurately, thledding ith othome.)

He makes me happy.

This is a three-way race. In this race, Gabe was either spinning out of control or chose to ride backward.  Both are likely.  A big fat thanks to the Ryles family for going sledding on a fun Saturday, and for bringing a camera!

Halloween

In a rookie Montana Mom move, the costumes did not incorporate their winter gear.  Luke had shorts and his tiny camo moon boots on. :)

Here are my little pirates heading off to find their loot.

Look at the booty!  The next door neighbors gave out full sized candy bars. wow

Pirate Preview

Ahoy!  We got to go to a costume party Saturday.  Our costumes thesWe were the Jake and the Neverland Pirates cast (for those of you who don't know, it's a Disney Jr show...)  Luke is Cubby, I'm Izzy, Josh is Jake and of course Mike is Captain Hook.  In drag.

Last football game of the season

Can  you hear him yelling Go Patriots?

I loved how much fun he was having on the bench with his little team mates.

He's so silly!

Gearing up for Halloween

My little chefs.  We made english muffin mummy mia pizzas on Friday night.  They were part of a Halloween themed dinner with two kinds of eyeballs and goblin mouths (can you see them in the background). 
I can't help but wonder what Josh is doing in this picture...

He looks so proud (or possessed...) of his mummy

Luke liked to eat his cheese slices more than he liked to place them on his mummies.

The final product -- mummy mia pizzas!

Daycare Candid Shots

Our daycare has a professional photographer working their part time, and we got to have these great candid shots from her.  Aren't they fun?

He is such a funny boy.  Why? Why put a bucket on your head?

Bucket Head

Batmanning. It's the new planking.

Just a happy boy, king of the world.

Josh's first school picture

We couldn't ask for a better school picture!  Doesn't he look so grown up?  This picture melts my heart...
