8 years old!

I still can't believe that we have an 8 year old. Tyler's birthday was last Saturday. We packed the day full of friends and family and had tons of fun. It was amazing to watch him with his friends and how grown up they all are...they talk about big boy things, want to play big boy games and pretty much just want to be big boys. I always get worried that people will be busy and not make it to his party, especially since it is the week before Christmas but most of the kids made it to his friend party that morning and all of the family made it that night. He got so many fun things, and some stuff for his baptism. We let him wear his suit Sunday and he was so grown up. He had his chest puffed out and everything like he was a little man. Every comment someone made had him standing a little taller. He has mellowed out so much this last year and has tried so hard to "be responsible" especially over the last month. It is amazing how all of the sudden they start to understand choices and consequences. He has been such a good helper lately...I'm so glad in more ways than one. He still is a little stinker though, something that I'm sure he will be throughout his whole life. But, that's what makes him our Tyler. We love you buddy and are so glad you had an awesome birthday and can't wait until the 1st for your baptism!
Almost all of his birthday pictures look just like this. He got the beenie from his Grandpa Ron and Kathy and wore it all night...silly boy. He is smiling in this one (he is just making crazy faces in the others) so this is what you get...sorry mom, you have the crazy face here.
