His Uncle Tyler will be Proud!

Last night Ryland pulled his step stool into the living room and wanted Leland and I to watch him direct the band and see how good he was at it. He was so precious! He had two toothbrush containers and went at it. He then instructed Leland and I to get out our trumpet and flute to be the band. We had to watch him for the cues. :) Ryland then wanted to play the trumpet. He was pretty good. I think we have a budding trumpet player on our hands! I just love the world of a 4 year old.

We had a great weekend. At the last minute we decided to head to Lubbock on Thursday evening and have some family time. We stayed at the new LaQuinta and it had a swimming pool! The kids loved it. We stopped by LCU Friday morning before everyone left for the day and took a long nap after lunch. My parents arrived in town in time for supper and Master Follies. We all enjoyed Follies again. Without even coaching him, Ryland's favorites were the Bananas (Kyodai) and the Pirates (LOA). He loved it! Saturday we did the club breakfast and alumni chapel. My mom hadn't been to homecoming in many years so she enjoyed getting to see so many friends. Lunch was at Orlando's like every year with several club friends (although we are becoming the old ones at that party). After a quick visit with my grandparents we headed home. Sunday was a good day at church services and a wonderful afternoon at home. We all feel much more rested and really enjoyed our family time. Leland doesn't have school today either so he and the kids get one more day of playing (I'm jealous). :) It was good to see several of our LCU friends this weekend along with my parents and grandparents. Those visits just aren't close enough sometimes. I hope everyone else had a great weekend also.
