Ryan is 5! Errr.... technically 3, but he thinks he is 5.

So in the middle of our Easter celebration, we celebrated Ryan James' 3rd birthday.  MeMa made him an angel food cake. Aunt Julee decorated it.  His Mama got some balloons for him at our local easy shop (can't find tractors, o-state, and camo at just any store).  We gathered together to sing him happy birthday and open presents.  It was so much fun because HE is so much fun.  So appreciative of his presents. So happy.  So big.  He thinks he is 5. He tells everyone that. We had 5 candles for him too.  He talks and acts like a 5 year old, so why not?!?  Love this little man.

This face

Bren and her new pose and sweet Carter. Good Friends.

I mean. There are no words. Missing the other girls, but these boys.  And Carter.  LOVE his pose.  

Reading his new book to Daddy.

I loved how he would say binoculars.

Makayla reading him his "note" aka birthday card.

  Had to line up his presents in order.

oh yeah.

New worker bee

Carter brought his dress up clothes too so they could do some work.

I mean. There are no words for this level of cuteness. No words.

Even in his jammies....he is sporting his hi-vis vest and going through his new tackle box.

What a fun time we had with this precious busy almost 3 year old!  He speaks so amazingly well.  He knows exactly what he wants.  He is just as big as the other kids and do not tell him any differently. He might growl at you if you do.  Case in point.....  that was directed at me for wanting to take his picture. Yep. He's got spirit.
