Well, I did not get Christmas DONE!!
So, we'll take a break from Christmas 2010 and celebrate Tyler's 8th Birthday!!!
My friend Deb took these pictures in October!! Isn't he handsome!!
Tyler at age 8----He LOVES football and basketball. When the weather was nicer, Jaden and Tyler would dress up in their "football clothes" and play tackle football with each other until we made them come in. The boys also love to play basketball together in the basement. Tyler is starting to like to play the Wii more---probably due to the cold weather!! He also loves to watch Basketball and Football on TV. He is very knowledgeable about college football and basketball and he is just learning and figuring out NBA and NFL sports. Tyler knows every player on the K-state basketball team. In addition, he amazed my mom by naming MANY (most) of the college's mascots!
Tyler is still a happy, funny boy!! He likes to JOKE. He likes to make-up knock-knock jokes.....and you have to make yourself laugh, because they are not funny!!!! But, he cracks up!! Tyler LOVES his brother and sister. He plays with Jaden so well and takes good care of Paige and helps her.
Tyler is a good student and the teachers all love him at school. He is in the highest reading group at school again and continues to excel in school. Spelling comes easy for him. (He did not get this from his mom!!) He loves math!!! and does VERY WELL at it!!!
A few months ago he started taking piano lessons and really seems to enjoy it! He is learning "real" songs that he knows now and thinks that's pretty cool. Jaden and Paige will sing while he plays his songs. He loves music so piano is a good fit with that!
At age 8 he is losing his baby teeth. He currently has one big hole in the front of his mouth! It is so funny!!! We are waiting for his front tooth to grow in. And he has 2 more loose!!!
For his birthday----Tyler got to go to Michigan with me to visit Sydney (and Jeremy, Aunt Stacy, and Uncle Jason.) He was super excited to ride on an airplane and I think he enjoyed having time alone with mom!!
I printed this for Tyler to remind him of all the things we did in Michigan!! We had so much fun! We surprised Jeremy with Tyler coming -- we got to Michigan a day before Jeremy's 10th b-day! We went to clinic with Sydney and then Jeremy got to skip school one day and we went to Dick's Sporting Good store so Jeremy could spend his B-day gift card! The boys bought matching blue sweatshirts!! It was a great trip!!! Way better than any silly gift we could have gotten him!!!
We love you Tyler John!! can't wait to see what this year will bring for you!!!
