Tyler is 8! He is such a good kid. He is thoughtful and sensitive. He loves his family, his blankets and stuffed animals (and real animals), rocks, science, legos, Star Wars, Italy, and being read to. Though still very cautious, he is getting braver and braver as he grows. Tyler loves to come home from school and go play in the backyard with our over-the-fence neighbors, Austin and Benson or go next door and chat with the Toblers or Worker Man and Worker Lady. He loves it when an adult will take the time to just listen and chat with him as he has so many smart ideas and things going on in his mind. He takes church and the things he learns there very seriously. He adores his Primary teachers and they tend to adore him right back.
This is a big deal birthday and we have a fun-filled week planned. Starting with today - Tyler's actual birthday. He wanted to go swimming at the Aquatic Center and so we did!
Tyler was excited to see Kathryn's reaction as it was her first time in a swimming pool. She did not disappoint!
Later in the day we all gathered over at Grandma and Opa's backyard for cake, sorbets, and presents.
He sure loves his Rescuebots.
Little Sister, just hanging out.
Until someone :: cough cough, Grandma Joyce :: decided to share their lemon sorbet with her.
Tyler is really into Star Wars now, so look at the cake his awesome dad made him. I wouldn't even know how to make black or gray frosting. And Tyler really only wanted the rice crispy part (with cake for everyone else), so Tyson did a great job!
Okay, quit feeding the baby lemon flavor.
He was a happy birthday boy, with much more to look forward to in the days ahead...
Eating the Death Star.
