Tyler's Birthday...

On Friday, Tyler's actual birthday we took him to Chuck E. Cheese. This was the first time that he has gone so we were excited to take him. He LOVED it and didn't whimper the entire time we were there. We played games,rode rides, ate pizza, and just enjoyed being together. We got to see Chuck E. Cheese and Tyler went right up to him and gave him 5, he wasn't scared at all. It was a fun day.Afterwards we went home and found a sandbox on our deck from Aunt Sarah. It's so cool and Tyler loves it. We also got a Wonder Pets gift from Nana and D. Tyler was so excited and confused at the same time because he couldn't understand that the voices were coming from the box.
So after that Tyler went to bed to get some rest for the next day. Mommy and Daddy stayed up till 4:30am making the cake and doing the last few things around the house. Saturday morning we got up and Tyler and I went to get his hair cut. We went to my salon Dye Pretty. Brooke Lee cut his hair. He did really good. I took his bumbo so he would be a little more contained and then also brought a sucker. So between the both of those he sat pretty still. Afterwards we headed to Sam's to get some stuff for the party and then back home for Ty's nap and to start cooking the food.
The party started around 5:00. We had hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans, pasta salad, and chips. The guest were: Caleb, Andrea, Ashling, Bekah, Luke, Wyatt, Sarah, Phil, Darla, Evan, Sam, Brian, Shanna, Addison, Brian, Katie, Jennie, Dom, Melissa, Francesca, and Dominic.
We have been practicing with Tyler to blow out his candle, and he can do it, but for some reason he just starred at it. He wasn't sure about the cake at first but once he tasted it, he was all over it. He LOVED all his gifts that he got and we are so thankful for such wonderful friends and family!!! So we were exhausted so we crashed after the party. Of course David still had a few hours of homework left to do.
Sunday up for church and then back home for naps. Brad and Bekah came to visit Sunday evening on there way back from Florida. It was so good to see them but wish it could have been for longer. So Sunday night we all went to eat at East Coast Wings and Bryan and Candace were able to come too. So it was a fun night, fun weekend, and hope our little man had the best birthday yet! ;) Thanks to everyone who got to celebrate with us!!
The last pictures are some of the ones Grandma took while she was with us last week.
