Happy Birthday Tyler!!!!

Wow! I cannot believe that Tyler is 12 years old today!!! It has gone by so fast! I feel as though I was just a newly wed of almost 2 years, working my first social work job and found out that I was pregnant with Tyler. The last thing on my mind was to be a mom but obviously someone else had things in store for us.

Tyler has grown from a boy of little words to a young man that is so hilarious. The little comments that he comes up with crack us up everyday! He is caring - loves to spend time with his sister (most of the time), loves his cousins especially his little cousin Ian. He treats him like a little brother - it is so cute! He loves music his favorite right now MJ. He has the dance moves down pretty good. He is a die hard U2 fan - we have video of him at 4 years old signing to Elevation. It feels as though that was just yesterday. This kid loves food - he might just be a food critic when he is older. He has a great palette for a 12 year old.He enjoys trying most foods. Spicer the better! Not that he is spoiled with a mom, aunts and ammachi that love to cook!

Words cannot explain what I feel for this young man. He has touched our lives in so many ways. I am proud to be his mom.
Happy 12th Birthday Tyler!!

We love you!!
Mom, Dad and Mira
