Happy Birthday Elizabeth and Ryker

Ryker and I share a birthday. When we was first born on my birthday I was not sure how I felt about that. I very quickly though learned to love it! this year Ryker turned 9 and I turned 33. I am getting so old! :o)

Ryker wanted an oreo cookie cake like he had last year and so I made oreo cookie cupcakes. I crushed oreo cookies and added them to the cake batter and then I crushed more oreos and added them to the frosting, they were most delicious! My amazing friend Candice came by and brought me a Victorias Scret gift card, she knows me so well! Her daughter Katherine is in my primary class and she brought me peanut butter chocolate cupcakes that she made herself. They were so good! I love those two girls and really appreciate the rememberance of my birthday! Another good friend of mine, Lanette, brought me some lotion and a yummy brownie. I got many texts and cards wishing me Happy Birthday from friends and family and it really made my day great!




































Five things that make Ryker great!

1) He will always give me a kiss before he goes to bed. His Dad gets a fist bump but the Mama gets a kiss and it makes me so happy!

2) He does not always enjoy practicing but he is getting to be such a good piano player. He gets really excited when he finds a song that is fun for him to play and he will play it non stop. I love watching and listening to him play and I can see so much improvment with his playing every day. He is going to grow up to be a piano hot shot!

3) He gets excited over the funniest things. Any time we do something not of the norm it suddenly turns into the BEST NIGHT EVER! He is so cute!

4)He has a grateful heart and shows much appreciation for anything given to him!

5) Ryker is so stinkin cute and has these amazingly long eyelashes that make all the women jealous. The lashes drive him nuts though. The other day he came to me and asked if he could cut his eyelashes. I told him no way and made him promise me that he would never ever try to cut his lashes. He says they bug him cause they are so long and get smushed against his fake glasses when he wears them and he doesn't like people talking about them. I love his lashes and hopefully someday he will appreciate all the attention they garner from the ladies!
