Ryan turned 6 last month and we celebrated together as a family. He really wanted to go to Chuckie Cheese's for his birthday, so we braved through a very busy chuckie cheese and had a good time. I made him a Lego cake because that is what he's obsessed with lately. I think it turned out ok, but on one of the pictures you can see that someone (nobody admits to it) took a nice chunk out of the side of the cake. Ryan got a lot of fun things, but especially loved the Razor scooter. I keep watching him ride and hoping that he doesn't come running in with a broken arm!!
The following weekend, we finally went ice skating for Samantha's birthday wish. Samantha did great until she had two big spills at the end and was ready to get off the ice. Ryan kept falling and falling and was all over the place! I found out later that he was trying to be like the speed skaters in the olympics! He didn't want to start at beginner; he wanted to be the best from the time he hit the ice! He came home with two huge blisters on his legs. He didn't complain once because he was so focused on being a speed skater. And we did take Carter out on the ice (briefly). He actually had ice skates on, but that didn't last long. All in all, we had a good time together and maybe next time we'll leave carter home and try roller skating :)

Happy Birthday Ryan! Ice Skating is a lot of work. We went a few weeks ago and my ankles were sore for days. Glad to know you and the family are doing well. We miss you!
happy belated to ryan. i'm impressed with ryan's determination to skate. what a boy. i was going to make seth that same kind of lego cake last year, but ended up doing a cake with legos on it. can't wait to see you guys.
Looks like fun. You should ask Aunt Peggy how her last ice skating adventure went. Lets just say its been over a month and her face is still black and blue and the bump is finally going down.
happy birthday ryan! you might just have to accept that that kid is going to have a broken bone sooner or later between the razor and his desire not to start as a beginner- but the best! ha ha. he is all boy! glad you all had fun :0)
Ryan sounds like he likes all of Rob's favorite things :) Rob is convinced that Chuck E. Cheese is a kids dream come true and every time we go I think he becomes a kid again. We also got Eliza a razor for her birthday but I had to make sure it could hold a 170 lbs so that Rob could ride it too. Ryan is so funny! I love the speed skater thing, all or nothin' baby!
