Celebrating Ryan

We hosted Ryan's extended family this weekend to celebrate his birthday. It was immediately following Regan's dance recital and she was burning hot from the stage lights and begging to get into the pool. The weather was chilly, but the heater was turned on so the water was warm. In an effort to curb any begging throughout the rest of the day, I totally caved and let them swim. No way I was heading in, but they were in heaven! 

It was short lived because the rain came in, but they were satisfied well enough (for one day) by getting in and having a swim. 

Harlow was mesmerized by that pool and begging to climb in. Left to her own, she would have been sinking swimming  in 2 seconds flat. She splashed her little toes around instead. 

Sidney was happy to have all the family at her house, especially lovely Maddi; because where Maddi is, Nala is sure to follow! Ryan caught wind that Nala might be our visitor for a bit in September....good thing he was distracted because I think I would have gotten an earful otherwise :) The women of this house love that tiny dog, Ryan?, not as much in love. 

And what's a birthday party without cake and candles? Ryan's mom made his favorite German chocolate cake. Even with his weight loss, he couldn't help but indulge in his favorite. 
Happy Birthday Ryan!
Thank you to everyone for coming to celebrate!
