Tyler's 18!!


Well, it's official. Tyler is an adult. Wow, that was hard to type. And on his birthday yesterday, we were all at the St. Louis temple because it was our Ward Temple Day. While the adults were doing a morning session, the youth in the ward babysat 30...yes 30...children at the nearby ward building and Tyler helped. He grew very close to a cute little 5-month-old punkin named Eli, who only wanted to go to Tyler. The Young Women showed me pictures of Tyler holding Eli that they had taken on their cell phones because they thought it was so cute. And then the youth did Baptisms in the afternoon. Tyler was quite a bit taller than the baptizer, but it all worked out. Anyway that's how we spent Tyler's birthday. It really was a great day. So anyway, here's a picture of Tyler with his favorite kind of cake (strawberry jello cake) just before he blew out the candles. Sure love you, Tyler.

Tyler and one of his great friends, Nick, shared this milestone together....glad to get graduation behind them and prepare to move on.

Tyler's Graduation Night


I know I'm a little late in posting this, but better late than never I say. Tyler graduated from Olathe Northwest on May 16th, 2010 and it was a day to celebrate. It is such a rite of passage for a young man to graduate from High School, but it was also a rite of passage for us because he's our last child to graduate from High School!
