Happy Halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

2011

Landon being my little walking skeleton.

Me and the kids just before we went Trick or Treating.

The had a blast and received more candy then they really need.

Landon ready go. He thought it was funny that daddy was taking our picture.

Me and my boys!!!

(Riley hates having her picture taken 2 was her limit)

We had a wonderful Halloween.

OH MY, OH MY.....

I found that I have a blog page that moves way faster then ever changing facebook. I will be trying to keep up with blogging more and taking more pictures of the kids and family. I really need a new camera at this point but am waiting for Santa so I can put in my request. With us PCSing soon I need to do something so everyone can stay up to date with the Washington Ringmans.

My sweet little Riley has started the first grade and is loving it. She is coming out of her shy shell and really starting to show her independance. Watching her grow is wonderful and sad all at the same time. She is my baby girl and I want her to stay little forever (not going to happen).

My rough and tough little boy is going to be a great little athlete. He loves playing ball with dad and anyone who will play with him. He is a Michigan fan from the Tigers, to the Lions, to the Wolverines. He loves wearing his Michigan sports clothing. He is very proud of his accomplishment to write and spell his first name. Between learning with Riley and his babysitter he is going to be ready for Kindergarten next fall.

My sweet baby boy, Landon is growing up way too fast for being my last baby. He did not stay little long enough for me. He is 10 months old and walking/running all over the place. He loves playing with his brother and sister. His favorite thing to do right now is to play cars. He pushes them around on his hands and knees and makes some great noises to go along with his play.

We are still here!!!

Wow lots of changes have taken place since my last post. We have moved into a new house still here in Tacoma, WA. Riley has finished her first year of school with flying colors. Brenden is loving being a BIG brother to Landon who has now grown into a 6 month old infant. Landon is sitting up by himself and trying to crawl. He loves to play cars with Brenden and dump all his toys out of his toy basket. Just in the past week Ben and I have decided that we would like to see if we can get orders to the Netherlands sometime next year. Yes that's right The Netherlands. We decided that we could not pass up an opportunity like this and that this would be the time to go when our children are still young. Not sure when we will receive orders but the choice has been made to try. I will post pictures soon of the kids and the house. It's been crazy around the house since we moved and working full time. Until next time enjoy your day/week.

Just a very pictures!

Landon and Daddy!

They have a very special bond.

Happy St. Pattie's Day!

Our beautiful children.

Landon was not happy about all the pictures.

The men in my life.

Landon using his Bumboo seat. He loves to sit up and watch what is going on around him.

Playing with his toys.

At 3 months old his has learned to laugh/giggle, smile, talk/babble, he loves to splash in the bath, he has learned to grab his toys/blanket and put them to/in his mouth, he enjoys being with his older siblings and his friends Lucas and Nataleigh. He is growing up way too fast.

Happy New Year 2011!!!

The Ringman Family

2011

This is a common face for Riley when we are trying to have our picture taken as a family. She sstrongly dislikes having her picture taken unless it's on her terms. But this is still one of my favorite pictures.

Brenden and Landon having a little bonding time too.

This is one of the many battles that will accure between two brothers.
