January adventures

Here are some of our adventures after we got home in January from our trip to Florida!

Since we leave for Florida before Christmas, we often get to enjoy opening presents after we get back! :)  Jason and Ry are putting together a Catapult from Granmommy and Big Dad (from his wish list, since thought it'd be fun for them to do together :))

First launch!  He's had fun with it!  Thank you Granmommy and Big Dad for the wonderful gifts!

We went on a field trip to KidsQuest Children's Museum with Ry's preschool.  This is a special little wind tunnel they got out for his class (the kids could put those little pointy cups in to see how they moved).

Maylee came along as she loves it there also!

Rylan and his friend Megan from preschool

They have face paint available, and Rylan used the mirror to paint this on himself!  He called it his lion mask. :)

Building long tracks using some new tracks he got for Christmas

And Maylee built her own track too :)

Practice using scissors :)

Umbrellas from Uncle Jon, Aunt Joanie and the cousins for Christmas... they are so fun! Thank you guys!!

Maylee likes to grow her flower gardens straight up :)

She also loves to color!  Thank you to Grandpa and Grandma Deb for the markers -- they are a big hit!

More amazing structures

 

Maylee continues to enjoy stickers... these got a little off target while I was away and Jason was working in the kitchen :)

Cutest smile ever??!! :)

A sweet Zoob car Rylan made with Jason :)

Some of Ry's art from preschool

Rylan with his color by number book (uses makers) that he likes to do every once in a while :)... he still doesn't prefer to color often and would much rather be outside playing :).

Working together to build a tower!!!  Just loved seeing this!!  Though it's still a bit of a rare event :) (More often we see Maylee knocking Rylan's things down... Still working on getting her to understand how badly that makes him feel, and giving him time to make things upstairs where she can't get to them.)

On a basket ride!

Cousin Brian came from California for a quick visit at the end of January to work on his project with Jason... so wonderful to see him!  He was great with the kids and they loved having him visit.

Maylee is getting more into lining up cars...

and trains!  She created this long one herself.

More fun lego creations!
