The Last Birthday!

Ryan finally had his birthday!  It is hard to be the last (he's not the youngest, just the last birthday of the kids).  But it was worth the wait.  We were in Denver for that part of our month long vacation (that is another post!) and were able to spend his birthday with Dustin's family.

The whole country is in a drought, and somehow we keep bringing rain with us everywhere we travel!

 That tongue!

He requested a batman cake.  I don't know if he's ever actually seen a batman show, but he loves him anyway.

Dustin's sister set up a fun dinner at the (rainy) park with Dustin's family.  It was a little cold, but a lot of fun. The kids didn't mind the rain.  The world was their swimming pool!

Ryan is five.  He'll be starting kindergarten in the Fall.  He has grown up so much in the last year.  He has become much more independent.  Ryan is such a boy.  He loves all things super hero, makes great sound effects, can drive little cars around for hours and loves to play ball.  He loves his dad and will give up any playtime to help him with chores around the house and yard.  It is really sweet to see him idolize Dustin.  Ryan loves to laugh and he has a really great laugh to listen to.  He has a happy personality and he is a sweet son!  We love him!
