Ryker's Birthday... Part 1

Let me just start off by saying, I can't believe that Ryker is FOUR!! Where does the time go?! I can't believe that he is growing up so fast. It makes me sad that he isn't my little baby anymore, but I am excited for all the fun and wonderful things that are in store as Ryker continues to grow up.

We had quite the day celebrating Ryker's Birthday. He started the day off with some presents from me... He got a truck with a boat trailer and some other "camping" toys, some Transformers, a basketball hoop, and some clothes. He was very excited about every toy and was so thankful for everything. He kept telling me, "Thank you, Mom. This is the best present ever." So cute!



After breakfast, we headed down to Thanksgiving Point to go to the Dinosaur Museum with my mom, Matt, Andrew, and Daxton.

Waiting for the dinosaur movie... Ryker was roaring like a T-Rex and running around like a dinosaur. It was hilarious!
In the theatre, waiting for the 3-D Dinosaur movie. I think this is a really good look for both of us! (Notice that Ryker is holding his arms like a T-Rex. This is how he walks around a lot of the time. He also talks in a dinosaur voice, which is quite amusing....)

After the museum, we went to lunch at Paradise Cafe and Bakery. Delicious!! Then we went and spent some time at Cabela's so that we wouldn't be stuck in traffic on the way home. After that we made a stop at my parents' house so he could open his present. They gave him a Wiggle Car! Which he loves (and actually so do I, it's way fun!)
Ryker has a few other parties coming up this week and we are headed to Bear Lake for the weekend so stay tuned for more birthday adventures...
