A Good 4th & Tribute to Ryan

Well I hope everyone had a good 4th. My family and I went down to the Parham's - and had a great time. I actually was lucky enough to have Courtney and Stephen to come visit the day before we all went down to Roland. We had a real nice visit with Court & Stephen- they are a sweet couple; and Patch is in love with Stephen! Andrew thinks he's cool, too! As for the Parham's- it was nice to see everyone again- for the most part it had been 15 years since I had seen everyone. They were very warm and welcoming.
As for the picture, while Court and Stephen were here we started looking at pictures, and my kids and I kept on going today. I found some of the adorable pictures of Ryan- so I wanted to share! But if I remember right- it is easy to get a handsome picture of him! I hope he had a chance to celebrate in a new way this year; and that is will always mean something special to him.
Grandmother- I know it was all about the boots!!! I loved the outfit you made for me so much that I dressed my bear in it for years! The fringe was my favorite part, of course! -Darla
