Ryan's Birthday!

Last Sunday Ryan turned 27! Here's the events of the day...

Started off with a big breakfast of german pancakes and bacon

I love Carson's sleepy face in the this picture!


After church we really got the party started. We ate fillet mignon with roasted potatoes and had this lovely guitar cake for dessert.


But this was no ordinary guitar cake...
Ryan finding the clue:
"Argh! It's time for a hunt, go find the treasure.
Your first clue is to find your favorite pleasure.
It's good to eat a whole big lump,
Now go and find the Pirate rump!"

Our little buckaneer!

"To find the gold coins you must dig
In the leftover sand of a project very big!"


"You have the gold coins, now off to the show.
Go hunt for a bloke by the name of Jack Sparrow."

"What is the actual definition of pirate? I do no know.
Find me the answer, now off you go!"

"Find the ship in the boiling sea.
There lies your last clue- Thar she be!"

"In the basement your treasure does wait.
But be careful, you might meet your fate!"







Thanks Jeff and Julie!

Five Year Anniversary!
We decided that we were going to go bike the Centennial Trail. So that morning, Ryan let me sleep in and then we packed up the bikes. I was in the car waiting for Ryan and then he came out with what I thought my my father in-law's camera. I told him that I already had ours and he said that we might get some good shots so we should bring a good camera. On the drive I was thinking there's no way I'm going to be carrying that huge case- if he wants to bring it then he's going to have to haul it. We were just about ready to head up the trail and Ryan suggested we take a picture with the Rebel. I opened up the case and there's a cute little card and I thought that's why he wanted to bring it, to surprise me with the card. But at the end of the card he put "You deserve this." I didn't even catch it at first and just started to put the lens on the camera when he asked "how does she feel?" I couldn't believe it!!! He totally surprised me with an awesome camera! It's by far the best gift I have ever gotten!!!
This is the first picture taken with my new camera!



After our bike ride, I went and chopped six inches off my hair. Then we went out to dinner at the Kynrede Cafe, came home and ended the day watching Harry Potter 4. It was a great day.
