Making a getaway out of our little apartment in Chicago crawling down the hall and turning to laugh at me (6 months)
Catching a bumblebee with his bare hands (12 months)
Crying non-stop from East Texas to Katy
His persistence at learning how to ride a bike that was WAY too big for him (money-saving idea by dad-the-bad)
Having to put the front bike tire in"time out" because of unsanctioned bike rides
Dodgeball on our trampoline with half the third grade
Calling every store in Houston looking for a specific pair of shoes, which he purchased himself (age 8-10)
Trying to sell a mouse he caught in our house to the pet store -the neighbors dubbed him "make-a-buck-Ryan"
Buying Bazooka bubblegum by bulk and selling it to kids at school
Lots of friends!
Our misadventures climbing Mt. Olympus
Playing basketball with him when I was pregnant
Catching him and his friends trying to play hookie from school
Pudge - and quite a few little dents
The paper route
Yelling "Hi Mom!" to me in the halls at Taylor High when I was subbing
Countless trips to Brazos Bend and climbing "our tree"
Countless basketball, soccer and baseball games - a great athlete
Surfing, surfing, and more surfing
Breaking his surfboard
Throwing up in the trash can at the Dome Run because he just had to beat me
His band playing "Gimme Three Steps"
Visiting the Gavanchos' in Peru
His wedding day with his beautiful bride
Running the St. George Marathon
Parties at his house
And many more! Happy Birthday, Ryan! I love you. You're the best son EVER!
