Four Year Old Ryan

Coming back from UT with the kids, we ended up driving home on Ryan's birthday. Since we only had to drive from Flagstaff that day we got into town around 4, I dropped the kids off at the movie theater with Curt to see "Toy Story 3" then rushed home, put Heidi down for a nap and tried to pull together a cake and a few decorations for Ryan's family birthday party. Curt had pre-wrapped the presents. I think we just barely managed to pull it off. I was leaving again on Thursday (His birthday was on a Tuesday) for Traci's baby's blessing, so it was now or never. He looks happy right? Didn't I just have him? I wish time weren't going by so fast. He's such a wonderful part of our family. (Especially now that he's potty trained!!--THAT was an epic story!j/k)

If you're wondering what in the world is that cake supposed to be--please use your imagination--here is a better picture, it is supposed to be a tiger. Had we the time and correct decorating supplies, it might have looked like one!
