Four-Year-Old Football Fun.

Rylie's birthday is such a tricky one. Being on the most important holiday of the year, we always go back and forth on when to celebrate. This year we did it one week before Christmas. Almost everyone we invited was able to make it and we all had a great time.
Rylie is really starting to get into football and decided he wanted a football birthday party this year. It was fun to decorate and have everyone wear their jerseys for the event. Rylie sported his new Barber jersey with style and later asked if he could grow his hair like Barber. (Never going to happen, dude)!
It's so hard to believe that we have a four-year-old on our hands. I remember so clearly the day Rylie was born and how long I had to wait to see him. It felt like an eternity (and to a mom who just gave birth to her first child, five hours certainly is). He was so perfect and made me indescribably happy from the inside out. The latter part of that statement is still true today, although he's proven too many times to count that he is NOT perfect. Our lives have been transformed by this amazing little man and we are so proud of him.


Thank you Rylie for four great years of laughter, tears, ups and downs, but most of all a love like we'd never known before you joined our family. You are our pride and we love you BIG MUCH! Happy Birthday baby boy! (Yes, I know you aren't a baby anymore, but you'll always be my baby).
