Ryan turns 6

While we were away, Ryan had his sixth birthday. The day after the wedding Ryan's asthma became a huge problem and I had to take him in to his old asthma doctor. He was prescribed steroids, antibiotics, albuterol breathing treatments, and his daily preventative medicine. The poor boy wanted so much to run and jump and play, but he had awful coughing fits whenever he did. The day of his birthday was the last day of the steroids. Our original plan to head to the snow on that day had to be postponed to give his body more time to recover.

His bed gift was this Cpt America shield. The boys use it when they are playing hockey.
With no trip to the mountain, we compromised and went to Chuck E Cheese's for lunch. We love $.25 games!

Alyssa and Brayden met up with us and joined in on the fun. Deal or No Deal is one of our favorite arcade games.
Chuck E Cheese came out and if danced with him you could earn tickets. Sister really got excited and was dancing and shaking her bootie!
 Lindsey works at Cold Stone Creamery. It is her job to make the cakes there. Since those jewels cost a nice $30, she went ahead and made it at home with ice cream she bought.
Ryan was excited to have a 'shark' cake. He did cough a bit after blowing out the candles, but otherwise everything went off well.
It is hard to get gifts for kids who only play one or two 'games'. So, this time I bought Ryan Tae Kwon Do lessons. He got this awesome ninja suit. He goes 2 days a week and is loving it. This was a perfect gift. Thank you to all of you who sent Ryan a card or gift. He is a happy 6 year old. Now all I have left is go to school with goodie bags to finish the birthday rituals!

Hey! Went to AZ and hung out with Lacie! I definitely was wondering how the Blacks are enjoying TX! The kids looks healthy, happy, and are getting big!
