What a year.
Who'd ever think that turning 30 would be SUCH a big deal.
It is!
(If you aren't sure why, go to the first post on this blog and read on...)
What can I say to describe Ryan besides being just a good ole' Wyoming boy?
Well, he is one of the most loyal, trustworthy people you will EVER meet. He is super mellow and a HUGE tease. He LOVES cars and being outside. He is a GREAT husband and father. He is a fighter, is very sincere and just a good, good guy...
I think anyone who knows him, will totally agree with me.
Take some time to check out this country cutie, back in the day...

So much to CELEBRATE and SO much to be THANKFUL for!

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a HUGE celebration.
What a trip down memory lane, and, put to that music, what else is a mother to do but smile through all the happy tears! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ryan, we couldn't ask for a better son, and we are so blessed to have you as a part of our family!!
Love, Mom and Dad
How cute! I can't believe the curly blondish hair. I love the recent pic too. He looks so healthy! Everyone teased me when I turned 30 (cause all my friends are youngsters) but I never felt bummed about it. It is a gift. One more happy, healthy year of life. I bet Ryan understands that better than we do though. Happy 30th Birthday!!!
Margie, thanks for sharing this post! so much to be thankful for!!!

Happy Birthday!!! You guys should come down here to play outside...Yosemite is super close!
Those pictures are so awesome!! This might sound strange, but it makes me want to move to Wyoming--did I just say that? Seriously, that was so cool. It can't be oversimplified that this is a HUGE day for your family--congrats!! Happy Birthday, Ryan!
I loved seeing those pictures! It brought back memories galore. That lethal merry-go-round at the Smoot park! Sheesh, I remember getting thrown from that every time I set foot on it.
As for seeing the Smoot boys--what a great group of guys!
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RYAN (late)!!! What a year it's been for you and for your family. I feel so privileged to have grown up with you and to have been able to witness your good example since childhood. May there be MANY good years to come!
Happy Birthday Ryan! Thanks for sharing those sweet memories and pictures. Are Ryan and Elder P. related? Awesome picture!
Ryan is looking awesome! Almost like his old self again. Hope you guys have a fun birthday for him! Love all of the pics :)
That was one of the BEST posts! I loved all the pictures! Thanks for sharing! We love you guys!
Hi! Boy some of those pictures bring back memories. I remember one time coming over to your house, and you showed me your Teddy Ruxpin. Good times. So glad to hear that you are in remission and feeling so much better. Hope you had a wonderful 30th birthday.
I first visited your blog back in Sept. At that time my husband had just had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. He had Testicular Cancer. He went thur 1 round of chemo & in Dec when we celebrated his 29th b-day I was soo glad he was still with us & cancer free! I can only imagine how it would feel after a year of cancer treatments. Being a care giver to someone going thru chemo is very stressful. I have been very glad to have our faith & the support of church family.
Happy Belated Birthday, Ryan! Margie, I LOVED the captured moments you shared and the music in the background. Tears were coming down just looking at these wonderful moments of your childhood, Ryan! Thanks for sharing such a sweet message of love and birthday wishes.
What great pics!!! Those bring back some major memories! =)
