Happy Birthday Big Guy!!!
Hope this year is your best yet!!!
Aaahhh what a great birthday tribute post! Loved all the photos down memory lane. And his quotes were the best! :-)
Happy Birthday Riley!!! What a great age. Such a fun post with all the pictures!
Happy Birthday, Riley!!
Up until his 2.5 year picture he looks like Rustin but in the 2.5 picture he is the spitting image of Ryder!!
I was torn between Rustin and Ryder too. His face was wider like Rustin's when he was a baby, but his eyes are shaped like Ryders.
I hope Riley had a great birthday!
Happy Birthday Riley! We wish we lived closer, so we could see you more often. We love you!
happy belated Birthday Riley! I loved this post. Its great to get an update on the oldr choildren to. I think that the baby that resembles Riley the most would have to be ryder.
Math is his LEAST favorite subject?!? How does the spawn of a statistician and an engineer get away with not liking math?!
Sorry for the outburst, you can tell what gets me going. Hi Rachelle it's Cynthia (Stratford) Rasmussen, your old BYU classmate--I married Erik, you may remember him from the Stat program as well. I discovered your site recently and have been lurking. I think I would cry if one of my kids hated math... and I'm only semi-kidding. :)
Congrats on your houseful of children, by the way! You are amazing--raising 5 babies plus two others, all with a smile on your face. Thanks for sharing your adventures on your site, it's great fun to keep up with your beautiful family. Take care!
Sounds like an amazing kid!!! He must have learned it from his parents, right?
=-)
Happy birthday! Tell Riley I do not like math as well. I loved all the photos!
Happy Birthday Riley!
Happy Birthday, Big Brother Riley. I love watching you on the family videos.
You have reached a very special milestone in your life by turning 8. You can now be baptized. I hope you choose to be baptized and confirmed and are looking forward to it as I look forward to reading all about it.
I bet if you would have told Riley a few years ago that by the time he was 8 years old, he would be the oldest of 7 kids, he would have never believed it. I bet he is such a good helper with all those babies, but he probably feels like going to school is much needed "time-off" for a busy brother. By the way, you don't know me, but I am a friend of the Reeds who told me about you blog. Have fun with those little sweeties!
Hi, I'm 14 years old, and I have fallen in love with your family. They are so cute and adorable! I am now starting to want multiples even with the chaos it brings, and you inspire me by the faith you bring to God and with your family!
I love the Super Riley picture!
Happy birthday Riley! I felt the same way when my daughter turned 9 last November! I was thinking, i'm not even 30, how can I have a 9 year old! Anyway, what a handsome young man! I enjoyed all the pics!
Happy Birthday Riley! Can you believe how fast time flys! Love the picutres and I hope he had a great Birthday!
I heard about your site from a friend and I just wanted to tell you that I think you are AMAZING! I just delivered twins five months ago, (kids number 8 and 9) and am barely hanging on, so you just have me FLOORED. I love to read about how things are going with you and I only wish you had more time to post! Keep up the great work!
Happy birthday Riley!!
I love aaall of those pics!My favorite is the one when he dressed up because it reminds me alot of my brother when we were younger.
I hope you guys post some news soon!
I love your blog and your videos!I hope I get a family like yours when I'll be older..you guys are wonderful!
I love you all!!
