365 DAYS

Well, Ryan is a year old now. It seems that time has past so quickly but at the same time, he seems to have become such a part of our lives that he has been around for much longer. He also seems to act much older at times, exerting such a huge personality for such a tiny body! We are so happy to have little Ryan in our family. On his birthday we had a party with family and friends to celebrate the occasion. It was really fun and even though I am certain Ryan had no idea what was going on, he seemed to have a great time. We were so excited to have so many of his friends celebrate with us.

Funny, the entire time, Ryan had a baseball balloon tied to his belt loop because he kept getting frustrated when the balloon would get away from him. If you look in the pictures, in some of them you can see the balloon floating above his head. And we still have all of the balloons at home, he has been playing with them while they slowly deflate!




This picture is for Sara. This is the banner that I found online. The party was a baseball theme.



Ryan opening his presents with Mom and Dad. It was a little challenging to keep him interested....he wanted to look at everything except the presents!


Ryan in his cutie baseball shirt!



The cake! I made it with my friend Tami, when she went with me to order it and they said it would be over $200, we decided we could make it ourselves...I mean hello, I have seen like a million Ace of Cakes episodes. It turned out pretty good. The balls and the bat are made of chocolate!




Ryan enjoying a chocolate baseball....it was his birthday after all.


I can't believe he is already a year. Time has flown by too fast. We love you Ryan!!
