Happy Birthday Ryan!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful son, Ryan! You have been and always will be a great source of pride and joy for me♥


Ryan in his snuggly footy pajamas!




Ryan and his cousin, Brody obviously pleased with their red licorice! It's SO good!


A night at the motel....a motel with a pool!


One of my all time favorite photos.....we were camping in Minnesota and Ryan is walking along the path. I seriously LOVE this one!



Back in the day........when he let Mom cut his hair :)


My baseball star! He loved the game and I loved watching him. He plays mens softball now :) I might have to make a road trip next summer to catch a game!

I love the photo of Ryan with his baby niece. It always looks so cute to see a grown boy being so tender. Wow and a half marathon too! Happy Birthday, Ryan!

Happy birthday, Ryan!

You have a handsome son, Darla, and he has a gentleness, I think, that comes across in his photos. I LOVE that one of him walking along the path too! The trees frame the shot perfectly and he looks like a man on a mission. He has a beautiful family too and....as my parents bred and raised German Shepherds, I absolutely adore them so, needless to say, I also love the pic of Ryan with Jaxon.

A lovely birthday tribute, Darla!
