Birthday King!

More presents!

All of his birthday party friends. This is the best one we got--I guess that's what happens when you have a group of 4 year olds!

Obviously I'm a little late in posting this, but on July 1 Ryan celebrated his 4th birthday! He actually had an entire birthday week celebration that included a special shopping trip and dinner with his grandparents, lunch with Daddy, multiple nights that included ice cream and of course a big party with all of his friends at Bounce U.

I say this every year, but I can't believe my baby boy is four! He is an amazing little boy and we feel so blessed to have him as part of our family. Here are a few things about Ryan;

~He is extremely kind. When his sister is upset about something (which is often) he always tries to figure out what she wants or tries to comfort her.

~He has a great vocabulary of big words, all of which he uses correctly.

~He loves school and homework. Each month his preschool teacher sends home an optional homework packet and he insists on doing the whole thing the very first day. Every time.

~He loves video games--Super Mario Brothers is a favorite on Wii and his DS.

~He loves mint & chip ice cream, In & Out cheeseburgers, broccoli and rootbeer.

~He is a wonderful helper around the house.

~He is very thoughtful.

~He loves to laugh.

Happy Birthday, Ryan Taft! We love you so, so much!!!
