Oh Man, I have happy feet!

NO pictures please Mom!

The last few days of warm weather.





Okay, so these were from back in early November when we had some warmth. It's currently snowing hard as I upload these pics.

What else could he be for Halloween?




Considering all the Detroit Tigers options in Ryan's wardrobe what else could he have dressed up like for Halloween? Grrr...baby, very ggrrrr! Go Tigers!

Hey check out my pumpkin!

Ryan carved his first pumpkin! Okay, okay, he didn't exactly touch the knife, but he DID get to scoop out the goop and seeds. Fun stuff I tell ya!

Extreme closeup!

Any of you 80's SNL lovers remember "Extreme Closeup!" from Wayne's World? Anyway, this is what Ryan does when his paparazzi just get too close!

I got the bus!

Ryan was so excited about his new school bus, that he cried in the store when it had to leave his hands for 2 SECONDS so the cashier could scan it - geez! Then it was time to zoom zoom it around the house and crash into everything in it's path!

Cider Mill









Ryan's first trip to the cider mill last weekend. He enjoyed the petting zoo area... from a safe distance ... then helped Mommy & Daddy pick out pumpkins!

Playing with the boys.

That's Logan and Brayden in the background. Ryan is oblivious to what's going on behind him as he seems to be content just riding on the car hauler.

Just hanging around the house...

... with Ryan and watching him seat-dance and sing to himself.

Family picture time!






Getting the Vredeveld clan all together for family pictures wasn't easy but we did it! Here are some side shots of the Ryan-ator that we took at Mike & Lisa's property. The professional pics will come later....

Disney or Dreamworks?


Hmmm... good question! If you ask Ryan he'll say both of them, as he is being allowed to watch animated movies on occasion now. Anyway, as you can see, he gets really engrossed in the movie for a while before he starts to get squirmy and moves on to something else like his cars, books, coloring on the carpet, etc.

Riding the toy circuit

This is a short but cute video showing how fast Ryan plays with toys and then he is "all done!". (Sorry about the background wind noise.)

Fun at the playground



A new type of bouncy seat?

Ryan's cousin Paige is teaching him a new trampoline routine. :-)

On the road again!





Last weekend Ryan and I traveled to mid-Indiana to stay with his cousins Erika and Paige. He had a great time playing and especially loved their mini trampoline! Whoo hoo! Once he tried it, it was tough to break him away from it!

Boating rocks!





Ryan went to visit his Aunt Lisa, Uncle Mike, and cousins and spent a great day boating on Lake Michigan with Logan. Are you missing any toy cars Logan? :-)

Hi Landon!



Ryan finally got to play with Landon! Or should I say, Ryan got to take all the toys away from Landon. He better watch out, Landon will be able to keep up with him one day and will remember!
