Happy Birthday Ryan!

The Batman birthday party in Conroe with Jeremy's family.

"Prince Caspian"...

Birthday candles in his breakfast cereal bar :-)

I can't believe I am so behind on posting the fun stuff! My baby turned 4 and only the facebook world was informed! I like facebook, but I miss the longer, detailed posts that people get to put on a blog. So here's to my sweetie Ryan. Happy Birthday! Ryan has brought so much joy to our lives. I am so glad that he is a lover. He loves to hug and kiss me and I can't get enough of it. I love it when he jumps in my arms and lets me hold squeeze him. I keep telling him he can't grow up too fast because I have to get my hugs! I am getting a little sentimental as my baby gets older though. Something that didn't really happen when Austin turned 4. Here's a few snapshots of Ryan. My Ryan James...

Mothers

MOTHERS

Real Mothers don't eat quiche;
They don't have time to make it.

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils
Are probably in the sandbox.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors,
Filthy ovens and happy kids.

Real Mothers know that dried play dough
Doesn't come out of carpets.

Real Mothers don't want to know what
The vacuum just sucked up.

Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?'
And get their answer when a little voice says, 'Because I love you best..'

Real Mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or years or grade...
It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother...

16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.

18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!

35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.
