HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYLAND

I still can't believe my little boy turned 5 yesterday. I know that once they start school, time really begins to fly. I've been cherishing every moment this spring and summer knowing my little boy is about to really grow up. :)

Yesterday was a good day. Ryland had his Lunchable for lunch and then Leland and Ryland played outside for quite awhile. After I got home from work, we made the cake and just hung out. One of Ryland's birthday to-do list items was a date with Mom (I just love that kid). We made a Walmart run that date. We had purchased a pinata for the party so we needed stuffing supplies. Supper was McDonald's chicken nuggets (with honey of course). Several of Ryland's friends came over for some cake in the evening. Ryland's best buddy Nathaniel was of course Ryland's highlight. The 2 of them finally got that pinata busted open and then cake all around. They both were so excited over every present Ryland received. It was a very nice party and we thank everyone for coming. It was a great day for my Ryland. Here are some pictures from the party.

Ryland wanted to use all the candles. Leland told him he was only 5 so he only got 5. Ryland quickly responded with "it's my birthday and I want all the candles." We couldn't argue. :)

Pinata Time!
