Tyler's 3rd Birthday

Today we celebrated Tyler's birthday. He turned 3 last Saturday, but since we were traveling back from vacation we celebrated today. We had both of our families come and it was really fun.

Tyler loved having his cousins over and playing with them. They wanted to play with Tyler as soon as they got here and I think that Tyler really loved that. We should have them over more often. Then we all ate some refreshments and then Tyler was ready to open his presents. Everyone was very generous and Tyler loved all of the presents. Tony and I got him a t-ball set and he REALLY loved it. He wanted to open it and go play with it outside as soon as he opened it. We wanted to do cake and ice cream then, but he wanted nothing to do with it. I even lit the candle and asked if he wanted to blow it out -- he did -- but then when we started singing 'Happy Birthday' Tyler started crying. It was silly. I think that he was just so tired and needed a nap, but didn't get one.

Then Tony set up the t-ball set and took him outside. The rest of us had cake and ice cream. Grandpa even gave Josh some. I didn't even know that he was doing it until it was all over Josh's face. He seemed to enjoy it. Grandpa said that he was eying his food, so he gave him some. Sounds like Josh. He is started to get into eating real food, other then a bottle.

The other kids decided to play outside too and the rest of us chatted. It was nice having everyone over. It seems like we generally just

see each other at our parents houses (Tony's parents and mine) but it is nice to see everyone in a different setting. We really should do this again...I think that we will in about 6 months...when Josh turns one.
