Ryker is 5. Actually 3, but who is counting. ryker isn't,

Ok for real This Ryker big little boy!!

 I have had the honor to be his Mom for the past 3 years. It has been a trip. He was such a pain, faking his entrance into the world multiple times. Once he got here, he has been pretty easy peasy. Top 10 Reasons Why I Love This Boy:

1. He calls my bluffs constantly. Yes, I'll sleep in the car. Yes I'll sleep in the bathroom. Yes, I'll skip my birthday. Or my presents, yea I don't need them. Yup, I'll eat dinner in the dinning room/bathroom/front porch. 

2. His sweet little voice saying his sweet little lines "You forgot." "that's silly, right?" "That's crazy, right?"  "This is delicious."

3. His random, "Momma, I love chu."

4.  His laugh that is seriously contagious.

5.  How brave he is...he is now sleeping on the top bunk with no worries at all.  he will climb the highest slide. He has no fear.

6. Until he does have fear, like when trains are super loud and he clings to your leg like you're the best thing he has ever seen. ever. Or that one time that the fireworks were just too loud. Or in movies that are a little too scary, and trembles a bit.

7. Or the way he loves boots and wears them everywhere, and usually on the wrong feet.

8. The way he is an awesome middle brother. He follows his brother religiously, but isn't afraid to tackle him and hold him tight, very very tight. Or when he plays hide and seek with Dempsey.

9. How he loves FaceTimeing his grandparents and family. He takes them everywhere-in drawers, on the floor, up in the bed,

10.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again...this guy knows how to make a connection with anyone he comes into contact with. He is such a good, fun loving, sweet, awesome little dude.

Happy Birthday Ryker!!!

Love,

Momma
