RYAN

Taylor & Peyton's adorable friend Ryan came over for some fun in the sun (and some slop in the mud, too) today. Taylor studied Ryan's approach to sliding. . .

They even enjoyed the sandbox:

Peyton hopped the fence and spent some time in Miss Louise's hammock. . .

. . . they even made room for Taylor!

Great Granny stopped by for a visit and delivered a FINE piece of Arizona Cardinals serving ware. My challenge is to ensure Kia does not "accidentally" break it :-) This picture means so much to me....a short while ago when Peyton was about 8 months old, as soon as she'd see Granny she would cry hysterically. Check out the happiness in their eyes and grins:
