i can't believe it, but yeah, you are turning 8 today!
right now:
*you have this wonderful gift of paying attention to detail, and with that, the gift of knowing when someone needs a hug or a compliment. you've done this for me many many times. ;)
*you are super smart and LOVE to read books.
*your wit makes the whole family laugh. (i'd like to say that comes from me, your dad insists he's the funnier one between the two of us, but i have the blog audience to back me up...what does he have? ahem, i digress.)
*you STILL love anything clone troopers.
*you are shy and don't say much the minute we step out of our house.
*you love your brothers , and especially your little sister. they are your best friends.
*we finally convinced you to try a sport, you are going to do basketball for the first time this school year.
*you love traditions and so you have started the continuation of the love of the infamous ice cream cake for your birthday.
*you will get baptized this january and are super excited. :)
*you are a joy and a wonderful son. we are so lucky to be your parents, and we hope the best for you this wonderful and VERY SPECIAL year!!!

Happy Birthday Ryan! You sure are a handsome little guy! :)
So glad you were born Ryan. :)
Reading this made me tear-up a little. My son just turned 8 months this week! Soon he'll be as big as your *little* guy!
(and great gene combo you and Mr. V&Co have there)
Happy Birthday Ryan!!! Heres wishing you MANY MANY MANY more ice cream cakes!!!
what a sweet sweet face! He seems to take after you in the looks department. I'm sure he got your sense of humor too!
We have a birthday at our house too this week!
Happy Birthday sweet boy!
This brought tears to my eyes just thinking about how quickly they grow and change...in a blink of an eye!
He's 8? Holy cow. I remember when he was crying on my doorstep because he was afraid to come to preschool.
Happy Birthday Ryan!
How is he so grown up? When you moved away, your kids were supposed to stay the same. Isn't he, like, 3 or 4? My favorite memory of him is him and his brother, coming down the stairs at Eastgate while Tyler and I were H.T.'ing and begging you and Jake to blow up some of your, ahem, balloons. Tyler and I still laugh at that.
oh my gosh, what a handsome fellow!
What a handsome boy he is! I've been reading your blog for months, but I didn't know you were LDS. My son was just baptized this year. Such a special milestone!
He's a cutie! Those big, brown eyes are adorable. Happy birthday to Ryan!!
