Tyler is 8!!!!

8 years old....so crazy to think Tyler is 8 years old! I have no idea how this keeps happening, but I am not happy that they are growing this quickly!  Ty had such a fun birthday.  We started the week with his kids birthday party.  We looked up fun kids party ideas, and the first thing that caught his eye was a game truck.   I wasn't quite sure how 17 kids here at the house was going to pan out---but it was AWESOME!!!! They played video games, had pizza, cake, ice cream, hit the mario brothers mystery box pinata, and ended with a water balloon fight. Needless to say he had an amazing time! 
The day before his birthday we went to see Robin Hood at the Metropolis. He really enjoyed the play, and our neighbor had arranged for him to meet some of the cast. Then on his actual birthday we headed to the book store, toy store, portillo's, and he decided to go to his golf league that evening. I was a little sad that golf trumped birthday dinner out, but instead we went to lunch the next day to celebrate at Benihana.  Ty definitely has good taste in food! =)  Friday we had the immediate family over for cake and ice cream, and Ty was beyond spoiled. The to finish out the week we headed to Great America to enjoy the gorgeous weather and fun rides!  Turning 8 is Great if your name is Tyler Ubert!!!

I will do an interview with Ty soon, but had to post some of these fun pics!

Super excited when this rolled up and parked in front of the house

All the adults could sneak a peek while the kids were inside

Yep! 5 flat screens, gaming systems,  and a huge leather couch!

Every kid was able to play at the same time----and they seriously were this well behaved

Selfie at the theater

love that he wants to get a new book on his birthday

gosh he looks old here

just so happened that hot dog day was on his birthday---and they have such good ones!

chocolate cake and a root beer float after golf

yummy lunch

and loved being sang to

so---we got stuck on the justice league ride. for a while. so much so that we got the highest score of the day while we sat, and waited.  about 20 minutes later we finally got out, received free fast passes to line jump and enjoyed the rest of the day!

they had to sit in the front----love that they wanted to sit together
