Happy Birthday to my first born...

Today is Tyler's 9th birthday. We are so blessed to have him in our family. He is such a sweet boy and a hard worker. He has always been such an angel. Yes, he is a boy who LOVES to tease his sisters. But he also looks out for them. He is always there for Mom when needed. He does things to surprise me that make me so happy. We had a New Years eve party at our house and the night before, while I was getting ready for bed, Tyler cleaned up the toy room to perfection. He didn't want to use the vacuum and wake up Katie so he crawled around on the floor picking up every little speck. The next night after everybody left our New Years Eve party at 2:15AM, I began to clean again all by myself so I could have a chance to enjoy the clean house in the morning. (My sweet hubby Tim, and Kenna, Katrina were asleep on the couch). I was sweeping floors and wiping counters. I dreaded cleaning the toy room and was saving that for last. That is where the kids spent most of the night and I was not looking forward to picking it all up. It was almost 3AM, I walked into the room and it was clean to perfection! Tyler had cleaned it. I was so excited! He did all of this with out being asked. I could go on and on. Happy Birthday to my our baby boy. We love you!

I was sooo young... Me 9 months pregnant with Tyler...

Tyler's blessing day...

Tyler 6 months old... Tyler was always our over achiever. He started crawling at 5 months and walking at 7months. Katie is just over 5 months and she doesn't even roll all the way over. I can't imagine Katie crawling right now.

7 months...

2 years old...

8 years old...

Happy Birthday Tyler!! All those pictures were so much fun to look at. I can hardly believe how much time has gone by. He sounds like he's an amazing help around the house. Must be a first born thing. I don't know how I'd make it through a day without McKenna.

Happy Birthday Tyler!!! I loved looking at the pics. I remember we were hanging out on New Years Eve when you were having contractions!! I can't believe how old our boys are now! Hope he had a great b-day. And I loved the story about helping you clean up. I wonder if kids realize how much that means to us Mom's?!
