Ryann LOVES to color, and many times she would show me a picture, and ask me what it was.  I would take a really good guess, always be wrong, and then with disappointment she would tell me what it was.  Well you can imagine the excitement that went on while I was cleaning the bathroom and she was playing with bath crayons (so no worries  that this picture was done on the counter), and Ry asks me to look at her picture.  

Ryann:  What is it?

Mom: Its a beautiful flower?

Ryann:  Yes, good job mom.

However, the next day she knowing how proud I was of her flower,  she decided to take a pencil, thank heavens it was only a pencil, and drew lots of flowers and a robot on the wall.  Got to LOVE her.

Easter 2011

This year Ryann was understanding Easter a lot more than last year.  She was pumped to "dig for eggs", as she called it, days before the big Easter egg hunt.  When it came time for the egg hunt, Ry would run looking for eggs, and when she saw one she would yell, "I found one, I found one."  She enjoyed the hunt soooo much when it was all finished she would take eggs out of her basket run set them in the grass, run back to the porch, and then run and find the eggs she had just hid.  She also participated in the egg throwing in the garden, I'm sure she thought that was just awesome.  It was a great weekend, with people we love being around.

 

 

Zion

We decided to drive to Zion and take Ry on a hike.  She loved it!! We did about a mile, and she walked the entire way.  It was a long mile, for we had to stop and take pictures, walk on some of the walls, and let Ry dig for dinosaur bones, not sure where she came up with that one. 

I had a very hard time getting her to look at me so I could take her pictures.  She is a very busy, energetic, I will do what I want, fun loving girl.

Ry and Anthony.  She insisted on following him when he stepped off the path to take a picture, and if he got to far ahead, she was quick to catch up.
