Where does the time go??

Ryan turned 6 this week!!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone. He is such a joy in our family and a great little boy! I won't be able to call him my little boy much longer, he sure is growing up fast!

He had a great birthday. Last Sunday we had a family party and he got some really neat Star Wars toys. Then on Thursday we took doughnuts to his class, took him to dinner and he opened some more cool star wars presents. Matt and I decided that the best $15 we ever spent was for a huge Millennium Falcon that we got at Costco and was then marked down to half price! Ryan loves it and plays with it all the time!

We weren't going to do a friends party this year, since Ian is still so little and we are adjusting to his lack of schedule still, but Ryan really wanted one. He even told some of his friends at school that they were invited. Luckily for him we were able to figure out a date that Matt would be home to help and decided he could have one. Of course it had to be a Star Wars party. The party was yesterday and he had a lot of fun. It think his friends did too.

Ryan is a great big brother and loves to help out with Ian. He is an excellent student! He loves going to school and he and two other kids are the top readers in his class! We are very proud of him and love him very much!
