Lemonade Anyone?

When Ryan gets an itch, you'd better get out of her way!!...
For Easter she had Cory put up a sign and hang it on the mantle for all to see: "Easter is coming and we need more Easter decorations!" She then commenced to have him braid some pastel material and hang it from the stairs. Next she got an 18 holder egg carton, colored it and displayed it on the mantle. Finally she found some wrapping paper, cut a huge piece, turned it to the white side and drew a gigantic easter bunny complete with basket and eggs in hand--colored, made me write "hoppy easter" on it and taped it to the wall...you get the picture.

For Graf and Dad's birthday she decided there were not enough decorations that morning. She demanded we go get more or they would not have a good birthday. We promptly went to Party City where she picked out some balloons, party hats, noise makers, and dangly Happy Birthday signs. Done!

LEMONADE ANYONE? Want a VHS tape to go with it? With a permanent wave, smile, and pointing gesture toward the table, she was able to make $15.00 in one hour...what a girl!

Ryan turns 5!!

Ryan turns 5!!

Ryan is 5!!! Lorin woke up first on Ryan's birthday and had a special breakfast prepared for the birthday girl complete with her favorite bowl of cereal and a happy b-day note...so sweet!

We partied like there was no tomorrow. Queen Ryan got to hide eggs for her guests. They found them and then had to do what the note said--basically entertain the queen in some really funny ways. It was a good 'ol time. By the end of the day (after Chuck E Cheese) she was exhausted!



Some fun tidbits about Ryan: She says things like "Yes, Izzy is a little more distracted than I am" when I asked why she was the only one with her pj's on like I requested. She also catches lizards and HUGE spiders and tells them how cute they are while petting and manipulating. She's a one of a kind. We love her!!
