Ryan's Pikachu Birthday

Ryan is six years old tomorrow morning, April 21. He had a Pikachu birthday -- Poke Ball "dirt" cakes with gummy worms! Yummmm.

Fun gifts ...

Ryan's a Gem

Ryan has turned the corner of being a "little" boy to just a boy.

He is a great big brother to Mason and Gavin; so much that we need to remind him that Mason is learning to be an independent thinker. Ryan has a kind and giving heart to everyone, but especially to his brothers. Today, he shared almost half his candy from a spring school party with Mason.

One of Ryan's talents is his creativity - he thoroughly enjoys drawing and other art projects.

Although he is a bit timid participating in sports he has come along way and is beginning to build confidence in this area. We enrolled Ryan in a class at the YMCA this spring called "Sports of All Sorts" and he told me, "It's like taste testing. But not food, it's trying different sports."

Ryan has a gift with his winning smile to make friends easily.

I'm amazed at Ryan's memory - he has already memorized the first 3 Articles of Faith and is quickly learning the 4th.

Ryan is his own unique person.
