*Note: Sorry about the pictures loading sideways. They were fine on my hard drive, but flipped automatically when I posted them on here. Just consider it free neck exercises.
October:
 |
| Halloween costumes. Bella used last year's black cat dress, and Ryan went as Superman (his hoodie has a cape). |
|
|
|
|
 |
| Not sure the face. Just one of Bella's many expressions! |
 | |
| Ryan playing in the sand at the Children's Museum. We love that place! |
The kids and I found a new park to explore:
And Ryan got to do one of his favorite things-go bowling! Love the shoes!
 |
| Ryan and his hero, Uncle Jeff. |
The kids made bird feeders for our feathered friends:
December:
 |
| Ringing the bells for the Salvation Army. |
 |
| Riding the horse at Meijer. I think I've spent $5 over the years on horsey rides (they're a penny a ride). |
 |
| A kind lady took a picture of me and Ryan at the Children's Museum. |
 |
| The first snow deep enough for a snowball fight. |
 |
| Bella in a jacket she made all by herself! |
 |
| The Children's Museum has an indoor snowball fight and to get the kids to stop they say, "Snowballs down! Antlers up!" It's hilarious. |
 |
| Russian Ryan and his big furry hat. |
 |
| Grammy took Bella downtown to see a show featuring the grandchildren of the original VonTrapp family. |
 |
| Decorating cookies at the downtown Carmel festival. |
 |
| And making our own at home! |
 |
| Ryan and his "ice cream." There is a fantastic lady at the Meijer Starbucks who gives the kids a cup of whipped cream and every time I took Ryan grocery shopping, we had to stop and see Miss Amy! |
The Polar Express Pajama Party. The Indiana State Museum plays this movie every year in 3-D, but this year they told the kids to come in their jammies. They thought it was SO FUN to go downtown and watch the movies like this!
And then it was Christmas!
 |
| Cookies and milk for Santa. |
 |
| Ryan opening up his stocking. |
 |
| Bella digging through her loot. |
Off to Missouri!
 |
| Bass Pro Shops had all sorts of activities for the kids. LOVE the intensity on Ryan's face! |
 |
| Ryan in his Colts uniform from Uncle Jeff. And apparently also wearing a chocolate milk mustache! |
 |
| Annual trek to SDC! The kids were so excited to ride all the rides-even Ryan did a lot this time! |
 |
| Bella being too cool in her 'do rag. |
 |
| I don't even know where to begin. |
 |
| Ditto previous caption. |
 |
| Now here's a cute little thing! And Bella. :o) |
 |
| Staring contest! Only time Ryan was ever still or quiet. |
|
January:
Our bunny! We donated Jellybean to the pet store and a few weeks later come home with Cappuccino. She's a much better bunny!
An action sequence (at Ryan's request) of him playing football. Notice that a game is on in the background.
Snow! I think Ryan ate his weight in snow every time we were outside-which was a LOT!
February:
My little sleepy heads:
Some funny faces:
And Easter craziness in the Target Dollar Spot!
March:
Brickworld
came to Indy and we visited. We were amazed at all the things people build with Legos! I will spare you the 1,382 pictures Bella took with my phone (a slight exaggeration), but here are a few.
A few more random events:
 |
| Ryan's first hair cut at a "real" hair place. He looked adorable! The ladies were shocked at how many cowlicks he has. |
 |
| Random Sunday afternoon craziness. |
Bella's sleepover! Who would have thought that ALL eleven girls would RSVP yes? Certainly not us! We survived (barely!), and it was a good picture into Bella's friendships.
 |
| Making necklaces out of washers as a memento of the party. |
 |
| Fashion show! |
April:
 |
| Bella and I painted a plate. |
 |
| This is a picture Bella made of Ryan and herself while he was gone in Missouri. She really missed the little guy! |
In Missouri for spring break and to pick up Ryan.
 |
| Riding the free trolley through Branson. |
 |
| Ice cream. Always ice cream. |
At The Butterfly Palace (which the kids were enthralled with).
The rest of our Missouri fun:
 |
| Giant rocking chair! |
 |
| Krispy Kreme-to heck with the gluten-free diet! |
 |
| Glow in the dark min golf. |
 |
| Photo op with a Transformer. |
 |
| "Rapunzel's Tower" (I know the lighting is bad-sorry.) |
And another trip to Silver Dollar City!
 |
| Bella was part of a magic show. |
Other April stuff:
 |
| Swim class! Loved Ryan in his goggles. The kids is a fish. |
Dinner at Chili's:
Easter Egg decorating. When your condo is on the market, you've got to be very clean about it! We did okay!
Easter morning:
Outside fun:
May:
Apparently I wasn't very shutter-happy in May! Probably because I was packing!!
 |
| Bella at her American Heritage Girls camp out. It was great except for the ticks... |
 |
| S'mores. Gotta love 'em! |
Home! 17259 Meggs Street. We've been in it for two weeks a
