Happy Birthday Tyler!!

Yep, it's time for another birthday cake at our house! Eight years ago Tyler joined our family. He was immediately adored by not just his mom and dad, but also by his two older brothers. He was the happiest baby and even loved just sitting on the floor in his carseat and watching his brothers play.



Here are eight things I love about Tyler:
1-That he writes the best creative stories. Neither one of his older brothers enjoys writing, so I love it when Tyler brings home the stories he writes at school. They are so fun to read!
2-His excitement for life. You can always tell how Tyler is feeling, and I love it how his face just lights up when he is happy. Sometimes he even does a little dance!
3-Watching him play soccer. He is an awesome soccer player and I love watching him anticipate where the ball will go and then kicking it up the field. He is amazing!
4-His awesome drawings and art projects. Tyler is definitely the artist in the family!
5-He is very generous and shares with others. Just yesterday he got a candy bar from his teacher and shared it with everyone in our family.
6-He is fun to be around. He loves playing games and sometimes even makes up games or treasure hunts for our family to participate in. They are so much fun!
7-Lego skills. Tyler is a master builder and makes the most amazing ships.
8-He is a great friend. He thinks of others and is kind, thoughtful, and fun to be with. No wonder friends are always calling to see if he can play.

Tyler, we are so glad that you are in our family. You are just plain awesome and I am so glad I'm your mom! Your dad and I are so proud of you and the decisions you have made in your life. Our family just wouldn't be the same without you! We are so excited that you have chosen to be baptized this month. You rock!!!
