Ryan's 3rd Birthday

I can't believe I am writing about Ryan's 3rd Birthday.  He is growing up so fast!  We had a great day and he was so excited about having a party. Ryan loves to play and one of his favorite things to do is to play outside.  We put some pools, toys and a slip and slide out in our backyard and let the kids just run around.  It was really a perfect day surrounded by friends and family.

Nikki saved me by helping then finishing the Diego cake.  

Making Diego paper bag vests.  Ryan was working hard on his.

Ryan got a BBQ from his Nana.  He really enjoyed the chef's costume that came with the grill. 

Camp Out

Scott finally got an opportunity to take the boys camping.  They were joined by Daniel's friend Jace and his stepdad Mike.  They all had a really great time and were extremely filthy by the time they came home.

This is the face Ryan will make if he doesn't want to look at you.

First Smiles

These pictures were taken on May 18th.  Kyle has been smiling for awhile now, but it is so hard to actually get those smiles on camera.

Busch Gardens

We finally bought our season's passes to Busch Gardens and spent the day there with some friends.  We didn't get passes last year and Ryan doesn't remember going the summer before that.  It was fun watching Ryan experience the park for the "first" time.

A group picture after riding the teacups: Mike, Jadyn, Jace, Jace, Daniel and Jackie.  Ryan refused to get in the picture.

Ryan then decided he did want his picture taken.  

This was the first ride that Ryan did without an adult.  I was worried that he was going to try and stand up during the middle of the ride.  But he did great and held on the entire ride.  His Aunt Jenny would have been so proud.

Kyle was ready to leave after a long day at Busch.

Ryan was exhausted and fell asleep after 5 minutes in the car.

My Gym

Ryan has been going to My Gym for almost two years now.  He really loves it.  He asks to go to "nastics" pretty much everyday and several times during the day.
