Ryan's haircut!!

I decided that I didn't want to argue with Ryan anymore to comb his bead head in the morning. So I buzzed it off. Here is the damage. I think he looks very handsome.



All of his hair on the ground.


A view from the back.

Here is my handsome man with extremely short hair.

Horse Riding

The other day Rustin sold a load of wood to the Bryson's, when he went to deliver it they asked where the kids were so that they could have a horse ride. So we went to their house and let the kids have a ride. At first we tried it bareback and they were a little nervous. When we put on the saddle, they were much more at ease. Annalynn was still a little scared. Afterwards they showed us their greenhouse and let us pick a few veggies. Oh, how fresh veggies taste so good. Yummy. Thanks so much Brysons for the fun Monday morning. The kids loved it.


Here the kids are waiting for Brother Bryson to get the horse for them.

Here is Annalynn riding the horse. She wasn't as sure about it as Ryan.

Here is Ryan riding he absolutly loved riding the horses.

Jazz Bear

This week the JAZZ Bear came to Brackens, the hardware store in Enterprise. He was nominated Mascot of the year, so I think he was touring around the state for that. Annalynn was very excited. Ryan wasn't so sure about it. While I was taking these pictures the Bear put his arm around grandma's neck and patted Ryan on the head. He totally freaked out, screaming blodly murder, his body was shaking, plus lot of tears. The bear gave them both a signed poster.

So here are the pictures of the kids with the Jazz Bear. Ryan wouldn't go with Annalynn to stand by him so Grandma Barlow held him.

Now Ryan takes his signed poster and points at it says "Bear" points to his head and says "Head"
It is quite cute. I am going to try to get a video of it for you all.

New Baby!

Here are some pictures of Rustin's new pet project. He spent one whole week staying up until 1 am doing the sanding, priming, and painting.


All sanded and taped off and ready to be primed.

After priming and before painting. I told Rustin that he should keep it this color because I love yellow, but he told me NO WAY, because it is an ugly mustard yellow color.


Here is the finnished product. This picture doesn't due it justice. In the sun it has a great shiny metallic look to it.

Ryan turns 2

Here is my baby just after he came home from the hospital. He was so small!!

Blowing out the candles. Amazingly enough he could blow them out with his mouth just like this.

Here Ryan is with his T-ball set. He loves it!!!


Here is Ryan's birthday cake. He turned 2 this last week unbelievable to me that my baby is 2.

Ryan's finger.

I haven't posted for awhile so I thought I would post some things that have happened. Here is Ry guy with his bandaged finger. He got his pinky finger smashed in the screendoor. It was very tramatic for mom. He was in an underwear and t-shirt for potty training and we rushed to the doctor in these clothes because his finger looked so horrible. He didn't break it just sprained and bruised it really bad.

Disaster!?!

So Wednesday morning I woke up to a huge puddle of water on my bathroom floor. I had a pile of dirty clothes ready to put in the washer, when I woke up that was halfway soaked through with water. My first thought was holy crap Rustin is out of town. My second thought what time is it, who can I get to come help me figure out where this is coming from. Thanks loads to my brother-in-law Kirby he came and saved me. We got the water to the house turned off and pretty much figured out that it was a leak in the wall. So I was running late to get to my new patient Dr. appointment for Ryan, when I got there I realized that the children had gotten into my purse and taken my wallet out, so I had no money, no insurance cards, and no dirvers license. Totally insane. These pictures are the aftermath of trying to locate the leak. We found it after 5 holes to patch in the sheet rock. At least it wasnt' to bad. You can see the white patch on the gray pipes. The picture that is behind the fridge didn't turn out. The patch is behind my bathroom cabniet. Luckily we didn't have to take the cabinets off.
