HAPPY #8 TYLER SHANK!

We celebrated Tyler's birthday in the same fashion as we did Morgans this year. We decided on a homemade cake by mom and a special birthday surprise. That will be coming up in our next post :)

Tyler has had one heck of a year! He has gotten taller. He has gained weight. He has gotten smarter, wiser and messier too!

Celebrating Tyler's birth was fun. We had no birthday party and no distractions. We focused on JUST Tyler.

We woke up the morning of his birthday and I made him the breakfast he wanted...pancakes with strawberries and whip cream! He was in heaven...

Later that night we made a cake for Tyler. O.K. It's a little cheesy for an 8 year old but I tried :)

We sang to him just like we did with Morgan!

I left the birthday surprise up to Kale this year. He said he would "handle it"

I asked him several times what he was planning. He totally wouldn't tell me. He said in about two weeks we are gonna have some good fun. Stay tuned for the "handled it" post!
