What Ry were you hoping I would forget about you!!!!

Today is Ryan's birthday and I bet after looking at the pictures that I posted for Lenny and Rachel's birthdays he is hoping that either I forgot his or that I could not find any old pictures.....no such luck kiddo!

I used to tell Ryan that he was just like his dad......same mannerisms, same walk, same cheap (yes I said cheap...not frugal...haha) ways. Ryan is a carbon copy of his dad, even looks like him since he shaved his head.

Being like his dad also means that he is very thoughtful and understanding. I have used him as a sounding board on more than one occasion and have always appreciated his advice.

Ryan was always the kid that called me (just a step mom mind you) to wish me a happy mother's day or a happy birthday......he would call even when my biological kid would forget!

So Ry a very happy birthday to you.



And the promised pictures that I dug up:

The cutest little kid...still a cute kid so there.

You and your pop

Helping Dad?

Working...can you see him looking out the window. This is what Ry does for a living...drives trains...is that what you do is 'drive' them? What the heck do you do with a train anyway, it must be drive them right?

Christmas this year at he and Jen's home in Corpus Christi Texas. Nice Christmas tree behind Ryan isn't it? See what I mean about frugal...it's all he would let poor Jen buy for a tree...LOL.

Have a great day Ryan.

Dad and Bobbi
