Happy Birthday Tyler!

My Buddy, my big boy, my Tyler had his birthday today...
...yep, 3 whole years old. So we had a fun filled day. When asked what he wanted to do for his birthday he requested a "pay pace" (a.k.a a play place, a.k.a a fast food restaurant with an indoor play area) but we just went a few days ago so that was a no go. Then he said something that sounded like "movie" but not really sure. But what I did understand was that his third and most serious request was that he wanted to "pay with daddy." And that wish was granted!

We spent the morning opening presents and playing outside and then headed over to one of our usual hangouts...Wonder Lab.
Then we realized it was past lunch time and so headed to nearby Denny's...yes with all 9 kids under the age of 7...brave I know. But we, and the restaurant, were still standing afterwards. Next came naps, and more playing outside. And then a hot dog BBQ, one of Tyler's favorite meals, topped off with cake and ice cream.

I know it doesn't look like it in the picture but I actually had a helper this year. Yes, PJ helped me do the Dragon cake - complete with candles at the mouth for the fire breathing effect.

What more could a little boy ask for! He is so fun to do stuff for, or give gifts to, because he has the best reactions, gets so excited, and is very sweet and grateful. Gotta love my 3 year old buddy!

Happy Birthday Sweet Tyler! We sure do miss you and would have LOVED to play with you today! Parker and Abby, again, were SO not in the mood to sing on the phone today. So you get this little note. We're glad that you're growing, and healthy, and happy, and potty trained! (Parker did it the day after he turned 3, so here's crossing your fingers for tomorrows success!)
