Ryan's 4th Birthday

Our little Ryan is very much like his Uncle Ryan and has been looking forward to his birthday for months.  Every day he would ask, "How much longer until my birthday?".  And following any toy  commercial he would shout, "I want that for my birthday!".  We are all glad his birthday has come and gone. 

He helped make his own birthday cake.

 The cake is lit and on it's way.
 He likes strawberry frosting, thus the pink cake.  And he loved that #4 candle.
 Showing off some of his birthday loot.
Dreams coming true.

The rest of the pictures we took of his birthday were super blurry because he couldn't hold still. He was constantly jumping around with excitement.

Where Did The Month Go?

Evie had a birthday.

 She wanted donuts again this year instead of a cake. 
 Making their sand art  in a bottle.


We re-stuffed puppy dog since he was looking pretty thin.



 He's a bit of a fatty now and loved more than ever.

Stewart had his annual work BBQ in Green River.

Do you like the big red stain on Ryan's shirt?  There was Hawaiian Punch at the BBQ and the kid was in heaven.



TOP 5

1. We made it through the summer. School starts tomorrow. Hooray!
2. I'm done teaching Sharing Time for the month of August and won't have to teach again until the  December. Seriously this calling is a breeze.
3. Taking the kids to thepark andit was almost too chilly in the shade with the wind blowing.  I loved it!
4. Ice from Sonic.  Life is good.
5.  Two of my friends had their babies.  It gets me excited.

BOTTOM 5

1. Heartburn has been fierce.
2.  Trying to keep Ryan entertained at the movies.  He has a hard time sitting through a show without doing something else at the same time.  Even at home, he has Legos or some toy that he's playing with when he watches tv.
3. Kids staying up way too late several nights in a row.  Oh, the meltdowns that occurred the following days.
4.  I don't have any good books to read. 
5.  Taking Evie to the Mall so she could spend her money on new earrings.  We got there at 6:50 pm and apparently the Mall closes at 7:00 on Saturday nights.  Crazy right.  Luckily she was able to shop fast.
