Happy Birthday Ryan!

Ryan is two handfuls TODAY!!!! I can't believe it! It seems like it was just yesterday he was born, and in other ways it amazes me that he is only TEN! I can't get over it is ten. . .

A few things about Ryan. He is either hot or cold. Never is he just warm, always one or the other. He is either crazy or very quiet. He is noisy or quiet. He is almost always a peacemaker -- except when he isn't. . .see a trend?

 

Here are ten facts about Ryan --
Ryan is a reader, but hates to AR test. He is always reading something, he will read anything that Jacob has read, and has read many of the classic children's stories that are around our house. He enjoys them more if he doesn't have to test.

 

He is Spencer's best friend, he is Jacob's best friend. He almost always tries hard to make everyone happy and has a natural draw for younger kids.
Ryan still isn't a morning kid -- every teacher he has had notices that.

 

Ryan loves to play baseball. he loves it almost as much as reading (his parents are nerds, they taught him the joy of reading)
Ryan is a friend kid. Almost everyone that meets Ryan loves him and wants to spend time with him.
Ryan has a testimony, and really tries to do what is right.

 

Ryan figures out how to make things happen. If he wants something he figures out how to get what he wants.
Ryan is a hardworker.
Ryan loves his mom. Still. He has always loved his mom. I am glad he still loves me.

 

Ryan has the best imagination. He really should be a writer.

We love our Ry-Ry and we are so glad that he is a member of our family!
