Pool ... Would we make it home w/ it????

OK, I gotta tell this story. I wanted to put this pool in the back seat of the car. Chris said it would not fit. He proceeds to buy some twine and tie it to the top of the car. We were at the garden center at Walmart. I pulled around to the stop sign that leads up to Winkler Mill Rd. Well, the pool started sliding. Chris added more twine. I started up the road, turned onto Winkler Mill Rd. and barely made it less than 1/4 of a mile before it flew off the top of the car {at 20 miles per hour I might add}. Chris decides to tie it back up w/ double twine. I told him just to follow me home because I didn't think I would make it home. I even took back roads to go slower. Well, I made it, 20 miles an hour, approx. 1/2 of a mile up Pads Rd. before it blew off again ... right in the road in front of Chris's car. We had traffic backed up because we were going so slow. I got out and just stood there laughing at him as he got it out of the road and the cars passed him. Finally, he decides to try to get it IN the car {remember, that was my idea to begin w/}. He had to fold it; but, it did fit. I made it home after that. The things we do for our kids! LOL

The Slide







As you can see, Rylie LOVES the slide.

SPLASH!!

We had to add a shirt when Rylie started to shiver a little




Rylie LOVES splashing!!

My Water Bug

I think we picked the perfect pool. Not too big; but, it's big enough to make our little guy happy!

Look at that Smile!!!

That smile makes it all worth while. That's the best feeling in the world to see him so happy!

Rylie's New Pool

Rylie got a new pool today. We decided to get a hard plastic one w/ a slide. Turns out it was a perfect fit. Rylie absolutely loves it.

More Bubbles!!

"Bubbles" is another new word of Rylie's!

Rylie's Bubble Machine

Rylie loves bubbles. We got him an awesome bubble machine. He just loves it. If you get the grape scented bubbles at Dollar Tree. They smell good!!

Daddy & Rye

Rylie's preschool teachers taught him to say "cheese" when taking a picture. I was so tickled to hear him say this. He's saying it here now. He's really making tons of progress!!

Tree Didn't Taste Very Good

Daddy had to help get the leaves from the tree out of my mouth. It didn't taste as good as it looked.

Father's Day 2

Rylie wanted to pull the leaves off the tree and eat them.

Father's Day

Rylie and Daddy dressed alike for Father's Day. Aren't they cute??

Rylie and Daddy

Rylie also got a balloon at the party. He loves balloons

Crashing the Birthday Party

We went over to the park at WCC last night. Rylie crashed the birthday party they were having. He sat down at the table and made himself right at home. They were so nice. They fixed Rylie a plate of cake and chips and gave him a cup of punch.

Jana & Rylie

Rylie is so rotten. He just wanted to act silly this morning.

Rylie & Jana

This is Rylie with his CBRS worker Jana. She is the best! She has helped Rylie to learn so much and has great patients with him. He really looks forward to all of his visits with Jana.

Yes Mommy???

What do you mean I can't rock and ride at the same time???

Put it Back?

What do you mean I have to put it back? Millie won't mind if I just borrow it!

Visiting Millie

I like to go visit Millie next door. When she's not home I try to steal her shovel.

Swingin' w/ Bailey


Rylie loves swinging w/ his sissie Bailey!

Rylie w/ Cousin Tracie


Cousin Tracie took me outside to play on the playground. My Mommy used to babysit Tracie when she was a baby. She sure has grown up to be a beautiful young lady!!! I loved playing w/ Tracie!!






Rylie w/ Uncle Edward & Aunt Mary


Uncle Edward and Aunt Mary took turns holding me. I was a bit of a handful. In this photo I was watching Matt and Monica open presents for baby Mia. I 've never seen so many presents!

Rylie w/ Aunt Mary & Cousin Tonya

Rylie got to sit w/ Aunt Mary and Cousin Tonya while Mommy took photos at cousin Monica's baby shower. Very soon Rylie will have a new baby cousin named MIA!!!

Rylie's Laptop

Rylie had his own laptop for a short while. He loved it and learned a lot w/ his learning software. Until, he decided to throw a tantrum and push it off the table. He busted the screen. Now he has to do without.

Hokey Pokey Elmo


Rylie and Kaedin love to dance the Hokey Pokey w/ Elmo. Granny Kay has taught them to dance along w/ Elmo.

Rylie Sledding

We barely got enough snow this year for Rylie to try out sledding. He LOVED it!!! Hopefully, we will get more next year. Rylie was so sad to see it melt away.

Mommy & Rye

Here are some photos Daddy took of Mommy and Rye at Moravian Falls. Rylie LOVES his Mommy!!!



BUBBLES!!!

Rylie and Kaedin LOVE BUBBLES!!! They have bubble machines that they just love. Mommy and Daddy have realized that the bubble machines are OUTSIDE TOYS! They make the floors slippery!

Rylie & Kaedin's Sleep Over

When Kaedin sleeps over he and Rylie have to wear matching jammies. These 2 are so mischievious ... can't you just see it in their eyes??!!

We Love The Swing!

Rylie and Kaedin made new friends at the wedding. They all loved the swing!!! And Big Cuz Brooke had fun pushing the boys.

Rylie's New Diet

Rylie has been diagnosed w/ Autism. We currently have Rylie on a special diet {Gluten Free and Casein Free}. He has made great improvement since we started this diet. This photo was taken at Uncle Jackie and Aunt Mary Lou's wedding. We packed Rylie's lunch and took it w/ us. He sat there like a big boy eating his food.

Rylie's Preschool Photo

Isn't he so handsome!!! I'm a very proud Mommy!!


Rylie attended Wilkesboro Baptist Church Preschool this year. He had the BEST teachers. They have made a world of difference in Rylie and will always have a special place in our hearts. We are all sad to see the year end. That's Mrs. Terri holding Rylie and Mrs. Tammy on the other end. They were the best and most patient teachers!


Deep In Thought

I just love this photo. Rylie looks so serious!!

I Got Caught

I got caught!
Oh well, you know my mommy can't resist my smile!! How could she get mad at this face????

Measuring The TV



Well, mommy can't even wash the dishes w/o little Rye getting into something. He WAS watching Alvin and the Chipmunks. He took his little chair, climbed up into the top drawer of the entertainment center, took the DVD out of the DVD player, and reached up on top of the TV for a small measuring tape. When I no longer heard the TV playing I walked into the living room to see little Rye measuring the TV!!! His daddy said it's his way of telling us he needs a bigger TV.


Hi To All

I know I have not added any new photos of my dear Rylie in a very long time. Upon request, I have decided to start adding new photos again. My little guy is growing up so fast!!! He's no longer the little "budha boy" that he was when I first started this blog.

Rylie is now 2.5 years old. He will turn 3 on September 10th!!! Where has the time gone??? Anyway, I'll add as often as I can. Hope you all enjoy!

All Our Love,
Tammy, Chris and Rylie Love
