Happy 27th Birthday RyRy

The littles helped me make Ryan a birthday cake today for his 27th birthday. Once Kevin got home from work, we headed over to Miles Sand and Gravel to give Ryan his gift and his cake.

Happy Birthday Ryan, we love you!

Ryan and his heart!

Ryan went to the cardiologist after not being seen by one for the past 8 years (since his momma took him when he was 18 and once a year prior to that) He is going to need his heart valves replaced at some point. He has to go back in 6 months. That's all I know. Except if he dies before me, I will kill him!

The Puyallup Fair/Parade

Our State Fair starts today and to kick it off they have a parade with a cattle run. hehe, I wouldn't call "them" cattle but yearlings. hehe. Here are my kids, with each of their personalities shining threw. Kimber....its too early to be out and about. Bridger....I love parades and I'm happy to be here. Kenna.....hey whats going on, I need to watch and and see everything. Ryan.....its the parade and the fair, I have to bring my daughter to see everything, we are having fun! Kyler....why did I get out of bed for this, this is stupid
The cattle run (haha)

Its so funny, they all ran single file from the beginning of the parade down to the fair grounds

We love spongebob

She is always in the parades and at the fair. Love her hair

Because I bank at wells fargo

This was so weird...the presidential turkey (at our 30 minute parade) with.....

Secret Service? what the heck? Really? Really!

close up

Ryan trying to get Amber in the pool.

The pool was so cold. Some got in. Others didn't. I'm such an over protective mother. I would never have done this but Ryan did. He put Libby in the pool. She has never swam before but did great. Ryan and Bridger having a sword fight

I think this means Ryan won. (brotherly fun)

Who says the blow up toys are for the little kids?

Or that blow up basket ball hoops are for balls. Cousin Micheal with the hoop on him for a floaty toy.

Kevin and Kimber

I think this was the first year she got in the pool

Kyler playing ball

hoopfest 2010

This years Bomb Squad team was Ryan, Kyler, Michael and John. Yes thats Kyler looking like Mr T. With spray hair dye

There first game they won.....

There 2nd game they won

I think this was their third game, and they lost it. I guess I didn't have a picture of the 4th game. They ended up taking 2nd in their division. (which last year they got first so they were a big bummmed)

Finalist tshirts! way to go team!

the road trip to hoopfest 2010

On the way to Hoopfest 2010, we had to make a quick stop in Ellensburg, so that Ryan could eat some chicken wing that all his friends had been telling him about, that he had been "training" for. This post could pretty much tell the story just by looking at the pictures.
(1 wing for $1.50), see that you must sign a waiver...

signing his life away (litERally)

YES, it does even say death can occur and I had to sign as a witness (a witness that my oldest son could die right before my eyes)

what a cute boy, Look at his face, nice completion and all, the whites of his eyes are white!

(cute little Kenna smiling for the camera in the back ground)

getting hot

My son has done many dumb things in his life, this he admitted was the dumbest! (the white of his eyes are no longer white)

it took him a good 24 hours to feel totally back to normal after ONE chicken wing
