Star Wars Party

We just finished celebrating another wonderful birthday here. Ryland turned 6 at the end of May but due to our busy schedules - we were not able to have his party until yesterday. "Star Wars" was the theme of choice this year and we had so much fun planning - coming up with fun food names and making lightsabers out of pool noodles. I finally got a sewing machine here - so I was excited to start my first project and made all the kids Jedi robes out of pillow cases. The kids had a blast going through their Jedi training obstacle course and fighting eachother. Ryland was thrilled with everything and it was great to see him so happy.

Ryland has grown up so much this past year. He is such a sweet and sensitive boy, very respectful of others and just has the kindest heart. He has loved going to Kindergarten this year and is really into doing schoolwork, reading and math. He loves to explore the outdoors and learn about animals. His favorite show to watch is Wild Kratts. His favorite thing to eat is any breakfast type food and will often even request it for dinner. He's still a pretty picky eater but is getting better at trying different foods. He is very observant and has the best memory. Ryland is a great big brother and good friend. I love that he is still a momma's boy and will often cuddle with me - in return for my tickles of course :)
