Ryan's 9th Birthday

We never do big parties for our kids on all their birthday's. Just on the big ones,
you know, one, five , eight, ten, twelve, sixteen, ect... Ryan thought he had to
have a big friend party, even told all these kids at school about it. Liz warned me
after she had picked him up at school telling her kids all about it. I quickly
threw together a "friends" party. Now of course they are mostly my friends
but they do have kids around his age who are also his friends, just not the ones
at school. It turned out we were both happy and he got his party.

blanket I had Kelly
make him. He loved it!

He saw this cake and had to have it.

Ryan's Party - Take Two

Yes, I know it looks like we have a bunch of boozers in the jacuzzi, but it's kids
with ice cream in cool margarita cups. All above board, I swear!












I decided to get 120 snowball for his party for a great snowball fight. As I predicted, there was some tears.

















MJ decided to make a appearance. All of us girls loved the attention from him.

Father and Sons

Cole decided that this year he would actually go to father and sons.
He has ditched it for 2 years citing "too much trouble for only 1/2
a day of camping". He took Friday off and went with the Mabb, Linford,
and Dennison males. They went fishing first and I think Chad, Nick, and
Tyler were the only ones who caught a fish. They then camped with the
rest of the ward at the Tom's Creek area. I heard they had a blast and no
major injuries, so that's always a plus.
On the girls end, I went out with my
friends in the ward for Liz's birthday. We visited her baby Jake's grave, went
to Red Robin's, and went to see "17 Again". I was never a Zac Efron fan, but
man, he looks good in that movie! All in all a great 2 days for the whole family!
