Tyler's 7th Birthday

Tyler celebrated his 7th birthday in May, and loved being the birthday boy for the day.

He started his day off opening presents.  
I can't believe how big our kids are getting.  I remember so well when Tyler was born, and how excited we were to have a boy.  And here he is turning 7 on me.  I keep telling him to stop growing but he just won't listen to me.
After opening presents, we headed over to the ice skating rink.  They were supposed to have their hockey clinic that day, but canceled it since it was a holiday weekend.  So they let all the families and friends come skate during that time, for FREE!!  So we took the family and a couple of Tyler's friends for some ice skating.
Kyle got to try it for his first time.  As long as he was holding the wall, or your hand, he was just fine.  
Since we didn't have to pay, we decided to let Kelsey try it, too.  The skates were a couple of sizes too big, but she sure loved it!  I was actually impressed with how well Kelsey did.  She thought she was so grown up out there, it was so cute.
I'm glad I thought to have this family picture taken out on the ice.  It was fun to be out there all together.  
After ice skating, I took Jessica, Ashley, Tyler, and his two friends over to the movies to see Night at the Museum 2.  It was a cute movie.  Then that evening Tyler got to go out to dinner with just his mom and dad.  (We take each of the kids out to dinner for their birthday's with just mom and dad.  They think it's pretty cool to get that one-on-one time with their parents.  Hopefully they think it's still cool as they get older......)

Tyler had a great birthday, and it was fun sharing the day with him.  Happy Birthday, Tyler.  We love you!!!
