20 minutes (and $200) after we left this appointment,  the hotel called me back and said they found it and would send it back to us.  

Ugh! Guess he has a back up now. 

2/27/16: Rylan's 9th Birthday

Today we celebrated our little Ry-Bear.

Daddy was wishing you a happy birthday.

Presley had her first Stage Kids Spring Acting session this morning 

(she found out today that she'll be playing Thing 2 in Seussical the Musical). 

But first, she had to prove that she was still stronger than you in arm wrestling. 

Kelly took Logan today to his first Surf Soccer practice in Seattle. 

Quick kid picture before Logan and Presley left. 

Ry requested McDonald's for lunch because he wanted to go with Harper in the play area. 

He told us that he was too big for this now because he kept having to bend down really low to climb around the play area. 

We picked up Presley from play practice and stopped by Safeway for your cake and ice cream. 

Then we went home and waited for Grandma and Papa to come. 

You guys weren't excited at all to see them. 

Presley is officially taller than Grandma. 

We had your choice of dinner of pulled pork, rolls, and veggies.

After dinner you opened your presents. 

We were ready for cake and ice cream. 

You specifically asked for white cake, white frosting, blue letters and a pig on your cake. 

We sang to you and you 

blew out your candles. 

Dad cut the cake and I dished up the ice cream. 

I had a special napkin to hand to you with your plate. 

Reading....

Oh, Yeah!!  We're going to Disneyland!!

We ended the night by watching "The Good Dinosaur" on the big screen and playing a new game called Rummikub that Grandma and Papa brought. 

Logan came home and you told him the our little vacation plans. 

And it was off to bed...we were excited for tomorrow.  

You Tube Video from Ry...

Last Friday at dinner, Ry was sharing about his school day and that Mrs. Peterson had shown the class this You Tube Video. 

Ry loved the *bonus saying at the end...got really into that one :)
