Happy Birthday Tyler!

Tyler turned three this past Sunday! I can't believe it. When I look at him he already seems so much older for some reason. We happened to be in Las Vegas this past weekend visiting our friends Vonnie and Melissa so we got to celebrate his birthday with them. I think he had a great day and loved his presents. We are so proud of Tyler and we are so glad that he is part of our family. We just think Tyler is the cutest and the sweetest and the smartest and the funniest and I tell him that everyday. :)

We had the apartment all decorated when he woke up. He was so excited! Here he is first thing in the morning sitting at the table wondering where the cake was. He just kept asking me where the cake was.

Eating his birthday breakfast. Chocolate doughnuts and chocolate milk. His favorite!


It was a little chaotic in the morning trying to get to nine o'clock church so we told him he had to wait until after church to open his presents. As soon as we got home from church we could barely change out of our church clothes before he was diving into them. He was pretty excited.

Opening more presents

As excited as he was about his presents we did manage to capture his usual serious face.This picture cracks us up because it is sooo Tyler. Have you ever seen such a serious face on a three year old opening presents on his birthday. He acts like it is no big deal and that he is not impressed. Too funny!

Tyler showing off all his gifts. He looks pretty happy doesn't he. Coloring books and finger paints, it doesn't get any easier than that.

Rick showing his excitement for the festivities

Tyler got so excited when we brought the cake over and started singing happy birthday. Little does everyone know that Tyler loves to pretend it is his birthday all the time so he insists that we light matches and sing happy birthday to him on a weekly basis.

Tyler blowing out his candles. He got all three in one shot. You gotta love the Star Trek cake. At 11pm at wal-mart the night before there is slim pickings. Even though he has no idea what Star Trek is he was still excited about it because of the, what he thought was a rocket ship, on top of the cake.


He is not so much into the cake as he is the ice cream. The kid loves his ice cream.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUD! WE LOVE YOU!
