Part 1 of Ry's birthday weekend!

In our family we dont really have a birthday... its more like a birthweek! I dont know why, but it always seems like we celebrate about 10 times for everyones birthday. So, Rylee's wouldnt be any different! I figured instead of doing one HUGE post, I'd break it up into days!

...FRIDAY...

We had big plans to go to the zoo, but we went Tuesday instead. Then we thought we would take her to Seven Peaks Friday afternoon, and go up the canyon Saturday with a picnic. Well, that was a great idea, but it didnt happen. Ry had been fevering all week, but I though it was just teeth. She didnt have anything wrong with her except the fever. Friday she woke up at 5 am and was so miserable that I knew something else was going on. We got into the doctor that morning, and sure enough double ear infections and the start of strep. I was glad we figured out what was wrong, but a little sad we wouldnt get to take her any where fun for her birthday! We settled for some bubble gum flavored medicine, and a new purple pony from Stone Drug instead of a day at Seven Peaks!

We got home from the doctor, and there was a package from Gramdma and Popi Oz waiting for us! Dont mind my sick baby who looks like an orphan in these pics.

Ry loved the dog wrapping paper!


She didnt know what to do at first with all the paper. She figured it out though.


Grandma sent beautiful 14k gold earings, and a singing card. The card was Ry's favorite thing. She hadnt smiled all day cause she was so sick, but when the card opened she was laughing and dancing!

Thanks Grandma and Popi for remembering Ry on her big day!

She sure does love you both!



I dont know why all the videos on my camera sound like we are in a wind tunnel, but they do! I guess maybe its from dropping my camera one too many times?!
