Tyler's 16th Birthday and First Baseball Game

Our Tyler is now 16 years old.  We took him and the whole family out to dinner on Saturday to the Village Baker.  It was good food and always fun to go out as a family.  

Turns out that Tyler's principal shares the same birthday as Tyler (and his name is also Tyler).  So the principal calls it the Happiest Day of the Year and buys cake for everyone in the school.  So, the PTA went over at lunch time and helped cut up and pass out birthday cake.  It was nice to see Tyler at lunch on his birthday.  

Tyler had a baseball game after school.  Varsity played first, then JV played.  Tyler was the second pitcher of the game and did a pretty good job.  He got up to bat once and struck out swinging.  Then they called the game because a storm was coming in and it was getting dark and started raining.

After his game we had some dinner before having cake and ice cream as a family.  Tyler opened a couple presents before we called it a night.  We are going to get him a new suit for his birthday and he's excited about that.  

Tyler really is such a great young man.  He is still loving baseball and loves learning new yo-yo tricks.  He still loves school and working at the rec center.  He has been practicing his driving and should get his license at the end of the school year.  We all love Tyler very much and feel very blessed that he's in our family.
