HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

today's the big day!
you've been counting down for a long, long time :)

happy 5 years old ry ry!!
when did you get so big????

and just so you know what you were like when you turned 5 -
here's a little bit about you this past year.

you...

love super heroes and know lots of fun facts about them

could play your DS for hours and hours

can work the netflix remote better than your older brother & sister :)

have a super hero costume on at radom times during the day

always ask "how was work today?" when dad gets home

love a big hug in the morning & lots of cuddling at night

love oatmeal for breakfast {and sometimes a cup of coffee}

are super excited to go to school with Olivia & Garrett in the fall

accidentally wear your underwear or shorts backwards most days {and don't bother to change}

say "i'm gonna come in and 'nuggle you tonight mom" at bedtime {and you usually do}

...

but my most favorite thing about you is...
you are ALWAYS so stinking happy!

we love you ryan!

it's time for strawberry pie...

...because it's your birthday, Tim!
{definitely a yummy tradition}

we hope you had a fun birthday!

love you!!!

a fun day in pictures...

celebrating family

today we celebrated mother's & father's day with the entire family -an annual tradition that has come to be known as "ma/pa day" :)
it doesn't happen very often that ALL the cousins are together.so a group shot was taken immediatelybefore feedings, naps & meltdowns occurred.
isn't this a cute well behaved bunch?

we spent the afternoon eating, relaxing, getting wet
and making mark glad he has just one child :)

definitely a fun day celebrating family!

oh and we might have gotten a little crazy too...

dream big?

ryan: mom, can i be ANYTHING i want to be when i grow up?

me: sure

ryan: ok, then i'm going to be a bad guy.

no more pencils, no more books

woo hoo
last day of school!!!!

congratuations on a great year!
we are so proud of you :)

you made lots of awesome friends this year
AND
you learned lots!!
