Tyler's 5th Birthday

Tyler started out his birthday by going to preschool.

He brought treats, so he was rather excited.

Plus he got this awesome crown to wear.

He really wanted to make a silly face, so I told him I'd take one silly picture and one smiling picture.

But he ran away after the silly picture.

We decided to give him his present on his actual birthday, rather than during his birthday party.

We made him cover his eyes while we brought it out. 

I am fairly certain he peeked.

He got a big boy bike (with big boy training wheels).

Which he lovingly refers to as the "Huffy Rocket"

Needless to say he was a big fan.

In fact, he is still a big fan. He can ride bikes with the big kids in the circle (the 7 year olds...). 

Then we took Tyler to do one of his favorite things....

Bowling!!!

(Where his Mother learned a very valuable lesson: If your 2 year old runs into the bowling lane, don't try and catch him. Especially if you are big and pregnant. As it turns out bowling lanes are rather slippery. You and your 2 year old will be in close contact with the ground very quickly...epic)

A few days after Tyler's birthday, we had his birthday party at the Ace Allstar Cheer Gym. Ty had so much fun at Jaxen's birthday party, he really wanted his own there too. So we obliged. 

I love that my parents are still in love.

Animals

We gave all the kids inflatable monster beach balls (which Tyler still thinks are hilarious).

Michelle... I love you, and your face.

My friend Joni and her cute belly.... which is now a really cute baby.

My flash picked a really awesome time to not go off, don't you think?

The cupcakes were sooo messy. But delicious. 

Tyler got so many fun presents. 

He was stoked. 

Thanks to all those that helped us celebrate this little man's birthday!
