Happy Birthday Tyler!

Today is Tyler's 3rd birthday! It is so amazing to me that he is 3 years old already! Well, time flies when you're having fun!

Tyler is such a fun boy! He is so happy and always ready for an adventure. His big thing now is that he thinks he can do everything Justin can do and take it up a notch. Justin will stand on the couch and jump onto the cushion. Tyler will get right up on the couch and fall backwards without looking onto the same cushion. He is also our little wrestler. He already knows how to pin Justin and how to latch onto my leg like a dead weight so I can't take another step without falling down. Whenever I try to workout on the floor, he tackles me and when I ask him to get off of me, he says, "I giving Mom a big hug!" Awww...o.k., I didn't really want to workout anyway...so many things I love about this boy!

On Saturday we had an elephant birthday party for Tyler. Aunt Nicki, Uncle Lance and Brynlee came with us to the Oregon Zoo for Packy the elephant's big birthday party.


It was a gorgeous, warm day and I think everyone in Portland was at the zoo. We took a picnic lunch and sang, "Happy Birthday" to Tyler while we ate birthday brownies.




The boys were excited to watch Packy eat his carrot cake with big carrots sticking out and other vegetables.


The zoo was fun and we had a great day! When we got home, Tyler opened his gifts and then we put the kids to bed early and then we got to watch a movie.



Today we went to Stake Conference. Throughout the day, whenever we would say "Happy Birthday Tyler!", he would respond with "Happy Birthday Mom" or Dad or Justin. Tawnya called to sing to him and after she had hung up he said, "Happy Birthday Tawnya!" Way to share the joy, bud!
