Birthday Boy

Here's the birthday boy with his cool birthday hat they made for him at school.Ryan got to open his presents from Mommy and Daddy on his birthday - he had to wait for all his other gifts until his party on Saturday

Happy Birthday Ryan!

My boy is THREE today!

Thought I would post a few pictures from the past:

Here is Daddy and Ryan in the hospital

This is one of our most favorite infant pictures of Ryan

First Birthday!

Second Birthday - note this is the same hat that is in the following posts!

4th of July parade

Every 4th of July our neighborhood has a parade down our street. We have missed it every year so far because we are usually at the cabin. Here are some pictures of Ryan's bike and the parade.











The ladies of the neighborhood even had a snack table all setup at the end with refreshments for the kids (and some of the parents snuck a few for themselves).

Little Fireman

Ryan was putting on his fireman's gear in excitement of his upcoming birthday. He knows that the theme for his party is firetrucks.









He even has a pack that contains about a gallon of water and a hose that sprays it.

Dock-a-doo-doo?!?!?!?

I got Ryan a new book today - it had a picture of a rooster in it. Figuring he didn't know what that I was I said: "Look a bird". To which I was corrected... "That's not a bird, that's a dock-a-doo-doo".

Needless to say I was in hysterics after that. So we recorded it for all to enjoy.

Day Out with Thomas!!!

The first thing we do is park at the high school and climb aboard a school bus. This day just keeps getting better and better and we haven't even gotten there yet. :)


Look at me Mommy!



Sir Topham Hat.

As if the school bus wasn't enough now we get to climb into a fire truck. We even got to blow the horn.



They had these train tables all setup under a big tent so the kiddos could play with them.


Not sure he liked the slide but I made him go at least once.


Finally!!!! We got aboard Thomas!!!!

I don't know how much more realistic they can make this.






After a long day with Thomas we are finally heading back to the car. Ryan was asleep about 3 minutes after this picture and slept the whole way home.

Pool Fun~~~

Relay for Life

Every year the Relay for Life comes to our high school - which is about 1/2 mile from our house - and invariably, Ryan is sick. This year, he was in fine Ryan form, so we went to the track to lend our support to all of our friends.

This is Ryan and Rita - Rita and her family are just good people - they took us under their wing when we joined the church and have been such a wonderful support system for us.
