2012 - A Year in Review

Life goes so fast and seems to go warp speed when you add a toddler.  I wanted to spend some time this holiday going back through pictures and capturing the small moments we had this last year.  Ryder was almost 2 last Christmas and it seems he has grown be leaps and bounds this year.  Here is December 2011 - May 2012:


Christmas 2011:

Ryder loved santa and we got lots of great pictures of him admiring all that facial hair.


Christmas at the Taylor's homes in southern California meant lots of cousin time and a very tired family after running after all those kids!


 Enjoying the amazing Christmas weather in san Diego with the Olsens on the beach.


January 2012:

Birthday festivities with the Taylors just moments before the frosting got in the eyes and the moment was over.

Ryder's actual birthday required a few great shots to capture the day



February 2012:

Chunky baby cheeks are just the best ! 


A great smile and giggle from the most happy child I know.  I get comments daily from friends and strangers about just how happy Ryder is.  What a blessing :)


March 2012:

We spend a lot of our time at the park, so these two are fitting.  Ryder loves to swing and now picks the swing he wants. 

A little cold, but still at the park.  Getting our energy takes precedent to weather conditions.



April 2012:

Easter in San Francisco enjoying the Cable Cars.  He was glued to the window the whole ride! 


Playing in the backyard with the cats and toys


May 2012:

Hanging at the beach before work and enjoying that view!



Graduation - enough said!
