Rylan is 8!

May 18th Rylan turned the big age of 8! Can I just say how much I love this dude! He is full of energy and desire. This guy will be getting baptized in July with his cousin so grandma and grandpa O'Dell can be here. 

Rylan chose to go to Cancun cafe for his birthday dinner. We invited grandma and grandpa Wilcox to go with us. He loved all the chips and salsa.

Rylan picked out his own cake and made it with help all by himself. Elsie always gets to so that's what he wanted. He had to frost it himself too. I think he did a great job.

We had family over and a birthday dinner. Rylan chose to have ham for his dinner. He was excited to get a swimsuit and sunglasses. He was needing some for his outside work.

Rylan loved the presents he got and can't wait to go swimming.

This boy is growing up so quickly. He is a very determined boy and works hard. He has been working hard at getting his homework done so he can mow the lawn. Dad is training him well. He knows how to mow the whole lawn by himself. He needs to get a few more muscles because he can't start the mower by himself. Although we haven't told Rylan it's his job, he says it's his and he doesn't want anyone else to do it even when his allergies are acting up. My favorite thing to do with Rylan is read and talk outside, just the two of us. We have great talks and I learn so much from this young man. I wish time would freeze and I could keep him little. He is going to turn into an amazing young man.
