HAPPY 27th BIRTHDAY RYAN!

Today is Ryan's Birthday! We are so glad to be home to celebrate with him! Ryan is such an amazing husband and father. Here are the top 5 reasons we love our daddy!

1. Ryan is so good to me. He lets me go shopping, play bunco, have girls nights, go to Utah without him, etc. etc. He never complains and sometimes encourages me to take a break and have some time for myself.

2. Ryan is such a wonderful dad and is very loved by his boys! He is a very involved, helpful, and proud father. I love watching him play the role of dad...he does it so well and makes it look so easy! It makes me so happy to see the love he has for his children!

3. Ryan is a great Mr. Mom when I need him to be. He is always willing to help me clean the house and cook dinner. In fact, he is probably a better cook than me! He is also great at enteratining the boys while I work.

4. Ryan is very dependable and loyal. It used to drive me crazy that he would never miss any of his softball or basketball games because they "depended on him to be there." This is something that I have grown to love about Ryan. He will always do what he says he is going to do and will never leave anyone hanging. He is a great friend and is always willing to help people out!

5. Ryan is such a hard worker yet so much fun! He works his tail off in school and studies hard but when the work is done he is ready to play! He is always trying to plan our next vacation or figure out something fun we can do together! He is seriously the reason we have done so many fun things since we got married and I love him for it!

We love Ryan and are so lucky he is ours! We missed him like crazy while we were in Utah and are so glad we are home with him today! We can't wait to celebrate many more birthday's with our wonderful daddy!

I'll agree that Ryan is one cool guy! I think its in the McGiven blood to plan play time...I'm just glad that they have the fam in mind when they do it. Ryan is a very hard worker and I know the pay off is coming soon! I can't wait to hang out with you guys! Happy Birthday...I'm glad you got the card.
