Just about impossible to get pictures of this guy! Just wanted to get a quick memory of him leaving for an away game. Instead he accused me of non stop taking pictures of him. I reminded him it was Friday and that was the first picture I had taken of him ALL week!!! He said, Ohhhhhh.

Ryan's Root Beer Party Keg

Anyone who KNOWS Ryan knows that he LOVES root beer! Root beer and cheeseburgers are his two favorite foods. Soooo, when Uncle Rick said he had a Keg of Root Beer that needed to be finished before we left Ryan's eyes got SUPER big and he had a grin to match those eyes! He and Ed got busy getting it opened up and everyone had fun drinking root beer! Of course Ryan had the first glass to give us his review and he said it was awesome!  And for some reason while Ed and Ryan were getting the can ready to open Ed picks up the keg and shakes it. I asked, "Ed, why are you shaking a giant can of soda?" He looked at me with that grin he has and said, "I don't know....I don't know why I do lots of things...." We all started laughing. Ryan did LOTS of tapping on the top of the giant can of root beer!!!!! Ed took the keg and held it over his sisters head and pretended to open it. Brothers and sisters never stop tormenting each other!!!! But the root beer was REALLY good!!!! I think there might be a keg of root beer under the Christmas tree!!!   

Checkers On Route 66

Our family is just plain ole suckers for a checker or chess table....checkers were always out at our last duty station in NC and we got used to just stopping wherever we were and playing a quick or long game or two. There was a checker board set up in the Route 66 Mother Road Museum, so we stopped and played a few rounds. I lost as usual.....i remember when i used to win..... 

It's A Hypothesis....

Ryan and i went out for a frozen yogurt. While he was eating i noticed the shirt he was wearing was getting small on him. It is one of his favorite shirts and i remembered when it was actually too big on him! Now i could see the bones of his shoulders at the seams, the seams that no longer were lower than his shoulders!!
I said, "Ryan you have been growing! That shirt is getting too small on you. What have you been doing to grow?!!!
Ryan continued shoveling in his frozen yogurt and just kind of looked over at me. In between bites he nonchalantly said this...."If you scream at grass it will grow. Vicki is always yelling at me, so I'm growing.....(long pause) It's a hypothesis Mom. And he just continued eating his frozen yogurt while i almost choked on mine cracking up! He is sooo funny! I love these times just chit chatting with him.  

Hot Day Cool Night Treat

He's such a cute kid!!! Just love him! He always has the funniest things to say! Ryan has this crazy mind that just takes things in and than sends them back out in just the funniest of ways.
