Happy 14th Birthday Tyler!

Happy Birthday to my Tyler! I cannot believe that you are 14?! Where did 14 years go? You were just this little (actually you have never been little - you are a Buckman) chubby, cuddly guy, didn't say much but smiled lots!
Now you are taller than me, almost as tall as your dad, weigh more than me,you eat more than me! I think you need to get a job just to pay for our grocery bill! You are ready to have a cell phone, girls like you, you like girls, you joined the basketball team. You are still a man of few words but will get your point across when need be! You love to hang out with your sister but then you want to beat her up at the same time. You love to spend time with your cousins on both sides especially Devante and Ian! You love love basketball - it's in your blood. You love to go to Kiara's game and watch her play! It's so sweet!
I love that you love Indian food ( I sure did not at your age) the hotter the better for you! In fact you have a wonderful palette and make me feel as though I'm the best chef every night with your compliments!

We cannot express how much we love you and how proud we are of you!

Happy Birthday Tylerman!

We love you!

Happy 13th Birthday Tyler!

Happy 13th Birthday Tyler! Yesterday was the official day that we have a teenager in our house! I cannot believe it! Where has time gone?

Tyler had many requests for his day yesterday - he brought dougnuts to school for a snack and MJ Experience for a little Wii dance off. Last night we went to his favorite restaurant Sambol and then to the Women's Gopher BB game to watch his cousin Kiara play! Needless to say he was a very happy boy!

Saturday we are having his birthday party with just his cousins and our neighbor boy. Pizza and swimming it is!
