Today we celebrate the eighth birthday of our youngest "baby" Ryan!!! Happy Birthday sweet boy!!

Ryan's fourth birthday (how little he was!!)
Ryan celebrated his 5th at Magic Kingdom!!
Ryan turns six with a Curious George party!
Ryan's 7th birthday (a very "magical" time)
and finally, Ryan turns eight!! Here he is receiving a hug from his biggest brother Matt.
Ryan's cousin Zack flew out from Minnesota to help celebrate his special day. What fun it was - we went to Dave and Busters, had campfires in the back yard, and had cake and ice cream. The Vigil's (Mrs. Vigil and Cassidy and Abigail) showed up this morning with donuts to help bless Ryan on his special day. Tonight we are going to Ryan's favorite restaurant for dinner and them coming home for some special family time.
Ryan has been a very wonderful addition to our family from the start. He is full of life, love and humor. He fills our family with lots of joy and laughter. We cannot thank the Lord enough for bringing him into our life. Ryan is always the first to tell a joke or play a trick, but he is also quick to be encouraging and loving and sensitive. He has a deep sense of compassion and caring for those whom he loves. His favorite things at eight are whatever Jacob is doing - and doing it with him, like airsoft guns or legos. He loves to collect coins and he loves to play with spy gear, walkie talkies, anything that has some kind of "secret" component to it. He loves to surprise and bless everyone, and is an extremely generous young man. We are so proud of our cute little "dude", or as I have called him since he was little, our "teeny little super guy!!"

Thank you Ryan, for always being so loving to me and Dad. We LOVE to read to you at night and snuggle with you in your bed. I love to scratch your back and make you giggle. I love to spend time doing school with you, listening to you read, and working on your lapbooks. You are a joy to teach. I love the way you protect me and encourage me. I love the affection you shower on me, especially at bedtime. That is my favorite time of the day with you! I hope you had a wonderful birthday, my sweet little man. I love you.
