The first set of pics are his birthday. I can not believe he is 2, and he even tells me he is 2. Where has he time gone?!? I try to hold and rock him like a baby and he just screams no, and then runs away when I set him down! This is his Mickey blanket...that he just loved...even though looking back at the pic, I can't tell if he is laughing or crying.
Matt being the cool parent, got Ryan a cinnamon roll donut for breakfast and put 2 candles in it. I would have been boring and given him his regular yogurt/oats/fruit for breakfast. But I must add, he did throw up about an hour later.
He is still obsessed with his sidewalk chalk. So this was his birthday greeting when we went outside. There was also a big happy birthday with balloons right next to it!
That day was also kite day at his playgroup, so Matt took a vacation day so we could have a family day.
Later that day, we met the families at the cheesiest place on Earth, Chuck E. Cheese. We had a small party for him. And his Uncle Andrew was nice (not to mention the skinniest) enough to take Ryan up in the huge tunnel in the sky!
Then on April 24, my friend Janette and her husband Ryan had a baby boy, they named Braden. They are such a beautiful family. Isn't she just beautiful. This is 12 hours after having her baby. My jaw dropped when she came out of the bathroom....she looked better and more put together than I did. Braden was born on Arbor Day, and Ryan was born on Earth day.
Then that weekend was Breonna's 2nd birthday. She is a little girl that Ryan met in playgroup. He just fell in love with her
Then came Ryan's big birthday party in the park. This is the best thing to do. It is so cheap and kids of all ages have fun. It was obviously a Shrek theme. He loves his animated characters...but not so much in person! Tiffany bought a Shrek mask, and this my mom wearing it, and instantly came the "no no no nooooooooo".
The night before the party we build Ryan a fort out of our table and chair boxes. Wow, I forget how much I loved forts as a kid. We even ate dinner in there Friday night after it was built. We all three fit in there. It was very cool! Then with the chance of rain on Saturday, we took it to the park for the kids to play in it...once again a huge hit. We had markers for them so they could all put there graffiti on it.
Then it was cake time. We have the same woman make everything for every event. She does such a good job. And for Ryan's piece of cake we cut out Shrek's face just for him. This is very important to me, because when I was little and at my birthday party, my mom gave the face to some spoiled little brat girl named Sarah, and I was devastated. I didn't even really care for the girl, she was only invited because of obligation since she was in my class!
One of Ryan's favorite toy was a Mickey Mouse firetruck from Jason and Loni...lets just say I think every kid loved it, even baby Chloe (who will be one next week, time is going by WAY to fast).
Then it was play time, well it was play time the whole time, I kept forgetting I was in charge of a party, I kept playing and of course talking. Uncle Adam took some of the kids on a tire swing ride over a huge mud puddle, and we got no mud on us till the end of the day...we were very lucky!
Then Maw-Maw and Matt took him riding down the big hill in the pool, then some how they ended up rolling down the hill. And this would be how we got muddy!
We can't forget them dancing, it happens every where we go, and we all MUST join in!
A few weeks later St. Andrew's was having there May Fest. I had to work that day, so I told Matt that would be a fun event for him to take Ry too. It was in walking distance so make an afternoon out of it. Well, he said it was pretty much just a plant and book sale. Which is not appealing to him at all! He did purchase a few books, and he even HAD to buy a book for Ry. Matt was so embarrassed. It was either buy it or have him screaming forever. Here was the book. Ryan grabbed it himself and WOULD NOT put it down. I so wish I was there for that moment.

The boys being careless on the equipment. I was so hoping he was going to fly off
Andrew catching Jason after he comes off the BIG slide
Ryan and Dawson finally getting to play together again. They played so well, but the good bye was a little hard to say the least. Dawson was just ready to go, and Ryan being the lover boy that he is wanted to give Dawson a hug and kiss goodbye, we finally got them to hug, then Ryan went for the kiss. Poor Ryan got shoved to the ground, and Dawson took off running rubbing his face. But I think they will remain friends.
The next set of pics is our camping trip. Which is alot of pics, and we went to the Zoo, so there is alot of pictures again. I will blog later today or this weekend. I know have a baby climbing all over me, oh I mean a two year old. And he is screaming with excitement over every pic. The family is up and in my face, so I must finish this. How I made it so far this morning I will never know. Thank God for the over cast so it still looked dark outside. So we had some late sleepers. Mommy had some much needed mommy time! So if there is any of this not making sense it is because I have him in one ear demanding to look at all the pics and a husband just walking around talking nonsense at me!
