My little boy is not so little anymore! Hard to believe he turns 8 in just a couple more days!!! To date he's lost 6 teeth (oh my!), is in the 2nd grade making As & Bs and loves playing sports (except for baseball). Ryland is funny, sweet, quick, smart, bright-eyed and full of smiles! He will still cuddle but has nixed giving kisses. 😘 He likes to tease and loves to read his Dogman and Captain Underpants books. If he's not playing sports (mostly football and soccer) then he's hanging with friends and setting up as many sleepovers as he can. He even tried his had at mutton bustin this year at the ATX rodeo and LOVED it. Too bad we were only able to fit it in once as he has now hit the weight and age limit for the sheep. 🐑 We are so proud of our sweet, sensitive little man. LOVE YOU! 🎂🎈🎉💗

This year we celebrated Ry's birthday at Altitude Trampoline park. This place was awesome! The facility had tons of foam pits, climbing walls, obstacle courses, jousting balance beam, a dodge ball arena and so much more! Plus they serve Double Daves pizza which we LOVE. They handled all the setup and provided plates/napkins/utensils and a hostess. All we had to bring in were the party favors and the cake!
Happy Birthday Ryland
Every birthday I make their cakes and cupcakes based on a theme they pick. This year Ryland really wanted Dogman or Captain Underpants for his cake...I just couldn't bring myself to making an underwear cake, thankfully when I mentioned his love for Pikachu he quickly changed his mind and wanted Pokémon! Now that I could do! I began my search on pinterest for ideas. We settled on a pikachu double layer round cake and pokeball cupcakes! Easy peasy. I used oreos for pikachu's eyes and yellow poster board for the ears. The small white dots on the cupcakes are upside down candy eyeballs, the red half of the cupcakes are sugar crystals. I was ecstatic with how the cake turned out. All the kids at the jump place would excitedly run up to look at the cake, it was a hit!
Pikachu cake and pokeball cupcakes
For 2 hours the kids had a blast and wore themselves out! We had a break in the middle to eat pizza and cake, then the kids were back at it again with their renewed energy sugar high!

happy birthday boy
For the party favors I put together little bags with a Pokémon plush backpack clip, pokemon ring and some chocolates.
favors
We waited until we arrived at home to open all the presents. 🎁 Ry received some awesome gifts and started playing with them immediately. The big winner was the Fortnite nurf gun and RadRobot. We will give him our gifts on his actual birthday in a couple days, we had to have his party early to avoid Easter weekend. I think he will love the giant nurf gun and new helmet and goggles for his dirt bike.

A big thank you to everyone who came out and celebrated Ryland's 8th birthday with us❣ 💗
