Happy Birthday to Ryan!!

Today is my baby's third birthday. He is growing up so fast. It is funny that when Austin turned three he seemed HUGE!!! Giant!! I mean, when Austin turned three we had Layla who was 10 months old and we were trying to get pregnant again. But Ryan seems so little still. I can still rock him to sleep during sacrament meeting (ok, maybe once a month, but still). He is half the size of Austin, who is just a little boy still.

I think that I am in denial. I don't want to give up having a baby. But then I think about my little brother Andy, who is still the baby of the family, even though he has two children of his own. I guess that Ryan can still be my baby.

So happy birthday baby Ryan!!

Jason is in school all day Wednesdays (12-9). Thankfully elementary school was two hours late so we had a little party this morning and let Ry open his present. (Yes, we only gave him one present, but it was a pretty cool one. A train set that comes in a wooden box.) We are having his favorite meal, Hot Dogs and Mac and cheese with canned green beans.

He wanted a ball cake for dessert. How easy is that?!?! Well, I get home from taking him to Chuck e Cheeses for lunch and look in the pantry for a cake mix...hmmm...no cake mix. Go look in the basement...hmmm...no cake mix. Go look in the round shelf where cans live...hmmmm...no cake mix. Look in the pantry again and find a chocolate cake mix hiding in the back...Thank goodness! Bake cake. Meanwhile, look for frosting. Have about 1/5 of a tub in the fridge, white, just what I need. Perfect. Look in the round shelf, no white...look in the basement, no white...SEVEN tubs of chocolate frosting (no, I am not making that up) but no white. Go back upstairs, find vanilla, not quite white, but it will have to do. Frost the cake. Go to get candles out...there is a 6, there is a 4, there is a 2, and there are two plain candles...THAT IS IT!!! No three, and not three candles on their own...WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO??

Anyway, we will make do, he can't read anyway, right?
