HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TYLER!

It's hard to believe that the 9 pound bundle of boy we brought home 11 years ago has grown into a 115 pound bundle of energy! Tyler celebrated his birthday today with nothing more than a few presents and pizza... that's what happens when you have basketball practice til 8:00 at night. I've promised him a friend party next weekend so I'm praying for snow so we can have a sledding party. Plan B is lazer tag in Spokane. Both options include a sleep over. Should be fun!!

We think he's a great kid... caring, kind, funny, strong, smart... It's strange to think we only have 7 years left with him under our roof. Where does the time go?

Some of his favorite things at this time include: Ladanian Tomlinson, football-- watching it and playing it, pizza, steak and baked potatoes, scrambled eggs and bacon, the Cougs, PE, Kenton (his best friend), Call of Duty and Madden 09 (video games), camping, motorcycle riding, driving anything, and his iPod.
