Who's more generous than Santa? Nanta!
What an active chin rest this turned out to be.
Ryan loves him some baseball - he is remarkably skilled at hitting the ball for a 2 year old.
If dinosaurs were this cute, they wouldn't be extinct.
I can't put my finger on why I love this photo so much - it could be the fact that Ryan can not even pause for a milisecond for a photo or Kyle is so bored with the whole trip to the park.
Kyle doing a bow!
Papa heated the pool, which the boys loved. I thought it was much like torture. He claimed the water was 86 degrees, but it felt more like 33.
Ryan riding a pony. What a beautiful setting... dump trucks, cinderblock walls, a big pile of poop. What do you expect when you get a Groupon for horseback rides?
Tired and plotting his next mischief.
On the longest/shortest hike ever - long because it took forever and felt like we were hiking for 8 hours, short because we went such a short distance! These boys love to explore, which is great, but it takes FOREVER.
Oh, and did I mention they get tired just about half way through the hike so that Doug has to carry them both for awhile?
At the environmental center, we were fascinated with this abnormally still snake. I continue to suspect that it was in fact a fake snake.
Back to Ryan on a pony.
The only Kyle smile during the whole ride. He was somewhat overwhelmed with the whole experience.
But he looked adorable and that's all that you can ask for.
Snuggles in Papa's "old car"
These brothers love to snuggle... for about 2 minutes and then they are off to other activities.
Ryan is getting so grown up.
Ryan in Papa's 1931 Chevy. Ryan loved it - to Papa's delight!
Off for a ride in the oldie.
Yipeee!
Back in the pool - the wetsuit was a must.
Uncle "Good Cooker" is pushing his luck with Kyle around.
My mom made these outfits for Kyle and Ryan. How cute are they? Uncle Matt wore this headdress later and referred to himself as Chief Hulk Hogan.
Typical Ryan... swinging while also trying to kick someone who is taking his picture.
When do you know you have failed as a parent/caretaker? When you have to put in a movie to occupy the children while you take a nap.
Crazy Cute. Matching jammies.
He's up to something.
He's also up to something.
Kyle and Ryan got to decorate a small Christmas tree on Nana and Papa's porch.
More backyard baseball.
Like I said... the kid's got game.
Christmas morning - check out the cool glasses. Papa's are so old man it cracks me up.
Christmas grins.
Christmas snuggles
Biker dudes!
Riden around on my tricycle.
What someone decided to do with a couple of the stockings...
Ryan wearing sunglass on Christmas morning and destroying a new book.
The gift of choice this year was definintely Transformers. To say both boys are obsessed would be an understatatement.
Ryan loves to be sans-pants.
Picking oranges from the neighbor's tree.
Having fun while stealing.
SANTA! aka (the local trailer park guy)
OK, OK, we have enough for juice!
At the Science center, Kyle loved having his Uncle Matt there to help him learn about weather.
One of the boys' favorite pastimes: 1970's leather bean bag sleighing!
Kyle!
Ryan in a tent
Ryan on an RV - we love to go to Bass Pro shops for fun.
