Seven!

Happy 7th Birthday Tyler! You have grown so much this year. You have now lost 8 teeth and are up to my shoulders! More than that though you have matured so much. Always helping out around the house and with Nolan and Olivia. Doing your homework every night (about 40 minutes every night!) and doing great at school. You were picked by your teacher to be the first science helper (where you got to water the plants and take care of the toads) because of your behavior in school. In school you are reading more and more and it astounds me how you can read most of the books you pick up. You still love math and speed through that homework. You are also a great writer as well.

You favorite part of school is still P.E, however. Which is no surprise seeing how everyday you are playing football, basketball or soccer outside. You play both sides and keep score, and make sure I always know what is going on in the games as well (you seem to o into overtime a lot). The Broncos are your favorite team, but you also love Notre Dame and the Air Force Falcons.  If you aren't playing a sport you are jumping on the trampoline with Carter or playing Star Wars with him.

You and Carter don't play as much as you once did (you two have different interests) you guys still have a great bond. I love watching you take care of him at school (even when he doesn't want it). Also every night before bed you guys are usually laughing about something together.

We love you Tyler and are so proud of the boy you have become. Happy Birthday sweetheart!
