Rylan's EIGHTH Birthday

Your last picture as a seven year old. 

Your birthday fell on a Friday this year so I woke you up like I do every morning to get ready for school.  You were up easily, you knew that today was your birthday. 

Before School

and with your brother and sisters. 

(Today was clone day at school for Logan and he and his friends were all wearing pink socks)

Dropping off my EIGHT year old. 

It was raining out but you still gave us the I Love You sign. 

At your request, Harper and I brought in sprinkled donut holes for your class. 

You asked your friend Sadie to help you pass out the treats. 

And then your classmates sang to you. 

And you danced a little with Harper. 

It was time for recess and I told you to get your stuff ready because we were going to go on a special trip this weekend for your birthday.   

We picked up Presley and Logan and made it to Spokane, our first stop. 

We all had to take a potty break so we went to the mall. 

And we had a birthday sundae. 

And then we surprised you and took you to the Apple Store because you've been wanting an IPod Touch and with all your birthday money, you had enough to buy one. 

And then we drove on to Silver Mountain in Kellogg, Idaho. 

We checked in, ate a quick dinner, and then headed down to the pool to go on the waterslides. 

Eight started off really great!!
