Ryan's Birthday =)

We celebrated Ryan's birthday over several days this year (as usual actually). Ryan (and Mike) wanted a fish tank for his birthday. So we ended up getting this a few days (weeks) before his birthday. He loves it and takes good care of it.

This is Ambers (MOM'S) frog tank, it is very cute and the frogs are soooo funny, they love to spread all their legs out and float at the top of the water. Very fun to watch =)
We let Ryan open family gifts in the morning before school on his birthday.
Ryan got a special pack of $2 bills, they tear off like checks (very cool) from his O'ma and O'pa =)





Amber got a special pack of $1 too, O'ma and O'pa didn't want her to feel left out. She has ripped a couple off to buy some gum. The cashier thought the $1 pack was pretty cool.

Mike got him a duffel bag for camping with the Boy Scouts. Yes, that is Ryan inside the duffel bag He also got a new sleeping bag and cot (they need a cot for the summer week long camping trip). This was all with the help of O'ma and O'pa, thanks so much!
Mike and I met up at Ryan's school and Mike brought him a HUGE milkshake and some fries to go with his lunch (pretty big fries too).We took Ryan out for dinner on his birthday. He wanted sashimi, but we talked him into steak instead. We can't always go out to the Japanese cook it at your table places. They made him stand on the table while they said "YEEEEE-HAAWWWWWWWWW" We went to Logans =)
Since his birthday was on a Thursday he had to wait to have a sleepover party until Saturday (Mom & Amber had a dinner on Friday). He invited a group of boys and it was a crazy time.
He got a lot of Star Wars lego toys (his friends know him well) and we decorated with balloons which the kids tied to their favorite stuffed animal or toy.
Ryan picked out the cake, dark chocolate with dark chocolate icing. Ryan and Dad made it together, and Ryan added red icing for lava.The boys didn't stay up too late, luckily since we had church in the morning, but they crashed watching a Star Wars movie.
The sleepover was on a Saturday night, so they all came to church with us on Sunday . . . and guess who's the teacher of the 5th grade KidGroup (Sunday School) class . . yup, me. They did really good! The virtue is patience this month so I had them make Chia Heads. Using nylons, potting soil, grass seed and plastic cups. It only took one week and Ryan's had some grass coming out is nose (the Chia head's nose that is). In KidChurch they had them build pyramids so I managed to get a picture with a few of our guys in it.Ryan put all his birthday money together and bought this mega lego set. Yes, he got a lot of birthday money, and he used his $2, but don't worry, I kept the $2 (couldn't give them away, too cool).
Ryan built the ship within a very short time, now he's getting creative with his new toys . . . yes, that is my ceiling. He used sticky tak and his imagination (of course).
