Ryder is ONE!!!!

Saturday June 16th, my little Ryder turned ONE!!!  This has been the fastest year EVER!!!  It blows my mind that his first year has done come and gone.  One thing is for sure…I have enjoyed every second of it.  This little fellow has my heart and the joy he has brought into my life is unspeakable!

This is a pic from last Monday.  He opened his gifts from his party.  Somehow, we didn’t get the gift opening part fit into the party before everyone left.

We took a little tour thru Columbia to check out all the Gamecock facilities!!  Chris took me by the baseball field, the stadium and we even stopped at the bookstore!  Ryder was worn out and fell asleep as soon as we got in the car…Bless!!

When we got home…we celebrated with pizza and cake!!  The birthday cake from Maddox and Ryder’s party never got cut.  I don’t know how that happen either!!  We had cupcakes so most everyone that wanted cake ate a cupcake and my Mom had brought another dessert.  So we wrapped each layer up and froze them….we are breaking them out this weekend for their actual birthdays!!

I threw a table display together last minute.  I remember I did this with Maddox when he turned ONE and wanted to do the same for Ryder….even though I’m sure he could care less.

Ryder wouldn’t keep his hat on for anything.  He loved the hat though…he would just laugh at it!!

What a fun memorable day we had celebrating Ryder’s big day!!!  I pray his second year goes by a little slower!!
