Ryan Turns One!!!

Here it is the much anticipated birthday post. Complete with cake smashing photos.


The cake pre-legs

Bug or turtle?

Turtle that has met nuclear waste? or has tar balls stuck to him?


Wrong! It's a firefly! The center of his head really looks like that.

These cake eating photos may be out of order

At first Ryan picked at the icing, note the left pincher fingers. Then I fed him a bite of cake and Ryan went to town.


Mmm bug... complete with a little piece of frass (upper left corner of the pan) that cousin Lucas ate.



more cake!


Ashton enjoyed the cake smashing as much as Ryan did.

Crawling provides a better angle at which to reach the cake.


What is better than cousins to help open present? Thanks Grandma for the toy toolbox.

Mom I really want to be in that floaty thing! Ryan loved to be in the floaty toy in his Aunt's pond. He smiled and smiled and kicked his little feet and drank some pond water.

Crawfish sand sifter and cousin Emma's hair pretties that Ryan adopted.


And just for fun

On the Road Again

Probably the last cross country drive we will make, at least for awhile. Here are our adventures from driving through exciting places, like Nebraska.

We saw an Indiana license plate and Jesse got excited and wanted to take a picture then we saw another and another. Five Indiana license plates total.

Will we make it to the pot of gold?


You may need to enlarge this photo. It says Buford population 1


We are where? (sign from Ogallala Nebraska)

King Ryan about to enjoy some chicken nuggets and fries.

"Ryan's" king sized bed, he eventually got transfered to the crib until some crazy high school kids started yelling and opening and closing their door.

Madison Botanical Gardens

Huh?


What is that?!


Here birdie, birdie, birdie


The "okay you can touch this stuff" area.


Photography practice. There are 20 more not good photos of these fish. Photos into water with glare, not my strong point.

Big red flower

Scene from The Halfing's Gem? Or some other sci-fi book?
