August 25, 2012 - Football at Fairborn

I love the pictures of Ryan getting his team pumped up before the game!  Unfortunately, we didn't win and the weather was extremely hot, but Ryan didn't give up!  He fought until the end!

August 23, 2012 - Stella at practice

Stella did not want to get in the car to go to practice but as soon as we pulled into the parking lot and she saw the huge field, she became so excited!  She thought she could run and run...turned into disappointment when she found out that we can't run and run! 

August 21, 2012 - First Day of School

Ryan went camera crazy!  He loved taking pictures!!  He was trying to get the lightening but our camera wasn't fast enough!  He had fun!

August 12 - 20, 2012 - Grandma and Grandpa's Visit

Grandma and Grandpa came to Ohio to spend time with Ryan while I prepared for the new school year.  That was such a HUGE help!  They gave Ryan a Camero model - a car that Ryan absolutely loves!!  They helped out at football practice, watched Ryan's first game, made a sign for Jeremy's homecoming, built a huge Nemo flying fish, went to the Sweet Corn Festival, spoiled Ryan with cheesballs, and took us out to Flemings for Grandma's Birthday dinner!  We stayed busy but had a great time!  Thank you soo much for the help!!  We love you!

August 12, 2012 - Happy 70th Birthday, Grandma!

Happy 70th Birthday, Grandma!  You are such a wonderful Mom and Grandma!  We love you!!

August 12, 2012 - Ryan at Baseball Tryouts

Ryan decided in May he wanted to play a new sport - baseball.  He tried out for the Gem City Throwbacks in August.  He did really well!  Jeremy can't wait to come home and work with Ryan! 

August 6, 2012 - Diane

Ryan took a Kids Home Alone class at a park in Beavercreek.  I waited around the first day, so decided to go for a walk.  The park was beautiful! 

August 5, 2012 - Raspberry Picking

Ryan and I went to the batting cages at Youngs.  We didn't stay long at the cages because Ryan's knee was still bothering him.  So we ate lunch at Youngs and stopped at a Farm on the way home.  We figured out we can go raspberry picking - so we did!  It was a lot of fun...except for the bees.  Anyone who knows Ryan knows he has a huge fear of bees!  He did pretty good but we only picked one basket!

August 4, 2012 - Ryan and Stella

Ryan loves loves loves snuggling with Stella!  He has such a love for dogs and is crazy over everyone he sees...well except for the little yelping dogs! :)  He loves his Stella and she loves him!

August 3, 2012 - Eager Beaver Night at BHS

Ryan had a great time at Beavercreek High School.  On August 3rd they hosted a community night where anyone can come and do some of the football drills.  He had a great time hanging out with his friends!

 

August 1 and 2, 2012 - More Football Practice

Ryan had some knee pain the first week or so of football.  On the field, you would never know!  He did a great job of working through pain.  So glad the pain didn't last but this was what Ryan did every night when he got home! Looking like a real athlete now!

July 30 and 31st, 2012

Ryan during the first few days of football practice!  He loves it!  We are so proud of how hard he is working this year!!
