Havin' a Party!

Since Ryan's birthday is in June and we will be in Arkansas on his actual birthday with no family/friends around, we decided to throw him an early birthday party. It worked out great because Zach's mom was in town and my mom was here too. You can't miss an opportunity to party when you have BOTH your grandmas here! And party we did.


We got to celebrate with seven of the cutest boys I know (we never got a picture of Calvin- Tucker's little brother). We got things started with a yummy Costco pizza lunch.

Logan, Brady and Ryan
Tucker, Nathan and Isaac
After lunch the boys went fishing for prizes. They loved it. It kept them busy for quite some time. 

Next came presents and then it was time for cake. Pam found this perfect Thomas the Train cake for Ryan. Thanks Pam! 

 I think he liked it... just a little bit. :)


Blowing out the candles. He is such a big kid now! 

Ryan got a lot of really great presents. One of his most exciting ones was a big kid Lightning McQueen bike from Grammy Pam. After opening it, everyone got on their shoes and headed outside to take it for a spin.


Each boy got a turn and I loved to watch the other two follow right along as the other one rode the bike. They look like little ducklings.


We were so happy that Ryan's cousin, Logan, came all the way from Ogden to come to the party. Ryan and Logan don't see nearly enough of each other and when they get together they can just play and play for hours on end. I think if you asked either of them they would tell you that they are best friends. I love that.

 Ryan's other best friend is Tucker. They have become the best little buddies this year and it would not have been a party without Tucker! We sure will miss him this summer while we are gone!


Happy early birthday Ryan dear! I can't believe you are (will be) four!

Hooray for birthdays! Again, in my alternate reality, we'd have been there celebrating with you. When do we get the cruise report?
