Summer Fun!

I can't believe its been a month already since I last posted.  Summer is going by so fast, we are busy with so many fun things!!

Rylan is nearing his first birthday and we can hardly believe it!  He is now walking all over the place and exploring EVERYTHING at an even faster pace!  He sure keeps us busy and on our toes.  He is still a very happy little boy which makes everything so fun.  His giggles are abundant and so contagious!  He absolutely loves the water....swimming in it, sitting in it, splashing in it and even just playing with the running water in the kitchen sink!  He likes his little pool for the back yard, but really loves the big pools and both his grandma and grandpa's houses!  He even had a great time at the lake and beach by our house.  The nickname "Monkey" we gave him the day he was born sure fits.....He's a climber.  The other day he pulled out Jason's sock drawer in the bedroom and then was hanging on it with his feet off the ground pulling himself up to see like pull ups....He can officially do more pull ups than his Mommy these days!! :)

We spent a long weekend in the Dells last week playing at the theme park and water parks of Kalahari. Exhausting, but a blast!  Can't wait to go back for the annual trip next year!

We are looking forward to his first birthday party this weekend and taking him away for a long weekend with just mom and dad over his actual birthday :)

Here are some photos from the past month's adventures.

Fell asleep right on grandma's shoulder after dinner, it was a long day of playing outside!!
