Papaw Richard & Uncle Ryan's birthday

The next day we headed to Uncle Ryan's house to celebrate his birthday along with with Papaw's. Grandma Karyn (renamed Mama Karyn by Alex) was in town after bringing the kids back home the previous week (the spent about a week in Florida- while Mommy & Daddy enjoyed some kid free time).  This party consisted of doing what we do best, swimming!  After a while Alex got tired of swimming and wanted Mama Karyn to take off her toe nail polish (Mama Karyn polished her toes for the first time the week before!)

 Daddy took over the float, but notice even while relaxing he is still armed with a noodle and a water squirter!

 Uncle Ryan taught Riley how to do some cannonballs.  They must have jumped in the pool a dozen times.  Riley was having so much fun!  It is really cute watching how Ryan has matured into a man that absolutely adores my children. He is definitely not the young kid who was scared to death of little kids that he was when Riley was born.  Now he is cool Uncle Ryan.

 I have no idea what this pose was all about, but it was funny!

After lots of swimming, we headed inside for presents and CAKE!

 Must be the cake for the Landstar clan!

 This is the result of all that green icing!

Now I absolutely love everything about the Farris family, but I have to say that this coozie is pretty white trash! Yes, it is made with 2 Dickey's cups and spray insulation foam! It may not be pretty, but it does work. I guess when you work 12+ hours out in the sun everyday, you do whatever it takes to keep things cool!
