Tyler turned 6 today. Wow! We have a little man who is 6 and going into first grade. Both Scott and I keep saying it over and over---when did he get so big on us? This past year he really seemed to grow! He has developed a true love for golf. He has always enjoyed it, but after his Top Golf camp this summer he has gotten really good---like only lost to Scott by 16 strokes! I can't wait to see what he does with his new golf clubs! He also loves to learn! He is reading everything he can get his hands on, especially chapter books. Tyler did another camp this summer called Camp Invention. It seemed like a great fit for him since he was able to take apart things and upcycle items into new inventions! He had so much fun, and was so proud to show us all he created! We keep telling him he is going to be smarter than us in no time! Tyler stays quite active all year---between basketball, swimming, baseball, and violin we are always on the go. He also is still a "great outdoors" kind of guy. He loves to get in camo and sit in the tree stand with Scott. We can often find him on the end of the pier with his fishing pole in hand. He's got great aim in archery. Tyler is still our very early riser, up before 6 most of the time! He has gotten a little more adventurous in terms of eating, however still will not eat meat. His diet consists of fruit, nuts, fish, shrimp, asparagus, and of course peanut butter/ nutella sandwiches! Ty has the best demeanor. He is just the happiest go lucky kid! He can light up a room with his smile---I just want to bottle him up and keep him this amazing forever! Scott and I every year reflect on the struggles and hardships we had to go through before we had Tyler...but he continues to make it all worth while. We are so proud of him, and even though he is growing way too fast, we love the person he is becoming! Happy Birthday Tyler! We love you so much!
