Happy Birthday Ryan!!!


3 YEARS OLD!!!


Ryan wanted a race car cake like Isaac's last year. The best part was him getting to help me make it! I like the ice cream truck and semi-truck trailer on the race track.






We started a tradition a little while ago of having the kids make gifts for each other. Isaac chose this swimming noodle marble race track. It's a hit!!

Isaac snapped this one--and it's one of my favorites!



I liked the kids faces



under the influence of his older brother--fighter jet fever



Nicole made Ryan an yarn octupus

Kind of excited about the guitar

Not initially too excited (do you think he suspected I got it at a garage sale?) but once we pulled it out and showed him how it worked, he loved it. Letters, animals and sounds hurray!!

Ryan strummin' the strings with Dad

Nicole getting in on some guitar action . . . Isaac kept saying "Ryan you're so lucky."

Happy Birthday Ryan! Good work on the cake too (while talking on the phone, wow... you're amazing :) And I think the Ice Cream Truck looks perfect on the racetrack! And! Sweet Guitar! Scott was telling me the other day that I need to keep up with the guitar so I can teach our kids someday :) That little guitar is AWESOME :) Love You Guys!
