Tyler's 2nd Birthday


We celebrated Tyler's 2nd birthday today. He woke up and asked for his presents right away. We decided to give him one thing in the morning - his Lightning McQueen car. It entertained him the rest of the day. He even took a nap with it. We met some of his cousins at Carl's Jr. for lunch and he got to play on the playground.

I made his birthday cake entirely from scratch this year. Chocolate Peanut Butter cake! Its a family favorite.

I don't have enough pictures of Andy on this blog. I thought this was a cute picture of Tyler with his dad.
We got Tyler this tent from IKEA for his birthday. It was a definite hit. I would highly recommend it. Only $15 and its really easy to set up and take down. Tyler calls it his "house" and had to put all of his new presents inside. He also got new trucks from Grandma and Grandpa and a Tough Trike which he was very excited about.

Recent Funny Tyler Comments:
After telling him he was having peanut butter on his chocolate birthday cake, his eyes lit up and he said "Thats Great!"
While pulling out of the driveway when I accidently put the car in drive instead of reverse and had to slam on the breaks "Easy Mom."
After leaving the doctor's office for my prenatal appointment "Baby brother come out now?"
While looking in the mirror after getting dressed in the morning "I handsome."

Happy Birthday Tyler. I almost bought that exact tent for my kids, but didn't. And I've regret it plenty of times since. I'll definitely pick one up the next time we go to IKEA

Rats! I'm sad that we missed it! Trust me, you don't want whatever Kye had-it was ugly. Happy birthday to Tyler and we can't wait to see you guys! PS you don't look like you are even prego yet. Not fair.
