Because Tuesday was going to be a super busy day with a swim meet and soccer practice, we decided to celebrate Rylan's birthday on the Sunday before his birthday.
He started off the morning with opening his presents from Brian and me as well as from my mom (who was still here visiting).
We got Rylan a couple of Lego sets, a watch, a motorized car that can drive on land and on water, and a stomp rocket sort of toy that uses water.
Rylan hasn't liked cake for about a year now (he never eats it anymore at birthday parties). So he requested doughnuts instead for his birthday.
The big boys discovered they could fit into the box for the motorized car!
Carter didn't have a party for his 6th birthday because it was right after Gray was born and I wasn't sure I'd be able to handle planning and running a party with a brand new baby. Instead we gave him $200 to buy any Legos he wanted. Rylan decided he wanted to do the same thing for his 6th birthday. So after breakfast we headed over to Toys R Us. Rylan likes Legos but not nearly as much as Carter (he's really good at them but runs out of patience quicker than Carter). So Rylan decided he wanted to pick out other toys. He ended up with some plastic ninja weapons, a Hot Wheels parking garage, a Matchbox parking garage, and several new cars.
We were planning on going out to lunch after Toys R Us but Rylan just wanted to get home to play with his new toys. So we ate lunch at home and put together his new parking garages.
Rylan also really wanted to go to the pool. Unfortunately rain was coming but we went to the pool anyway. We only got in about 10-15 minutes before the first clap of thunder and we had to leave.
After the rain finally ended, Brian took the boys to one of our neighborhood ponds to try out Rylan's new motorized car. Apparently is was pretty cool!
Then we finally made it out for a meal at El Sombrero.
Rylan said he loved his birthday and I'm so glad! I felt bad not having a party for him (this was his first year not having one).
On Rylan's actual birthday, he had a swim meet in the morning. Luckily Rylan was put in good heats for him and was able to win three heat ribbons on his birthday! The Kona Ice truck also showed up so the boys got a special treat at the meet!
After the swim meet, we went home and picked up my mom and Gray and then went to the Nolensville Rec Center to swim for awhile. After that we had a quick dinner at home and then headed out for soccer practice. I brought along cookies and we shared them with our friends after practice to celebrate Rylan's birthday.
Rylan said he had another awesome day. Yay!
Happy birthday, Rylan!!!
