The Birthday Boy... er, Man

Today is Tyler's Birthday.  Where do I start?
As I contemplated this post and what I was going to write about this sweet Husband of mine, the words                  "It wouldn't work without him" kept coming back to me.  
and that's the truth, our life simply wouldn't work without him!

   He's such a blessing to me and I'm so lucky to call him mine!

I love you Babe!  I'm sure as much as you love me, which we all know is a lot!

Here are some priceless pictures showing just how great a Husband and Dad he is.
I think we'll keep him around for awhile!

 He loves spending time with the kids.

He takes me on fun new adventures!

 He drives us everywhere, whether I like it or not.

 He puts up with my incessant picture taking.

 He's extremely helpful with the children, a very involved father!

 He's super cute!

See, super cute!

 He puts the babies to sleep, and even catches a few Z's when he gets the chance.

 He loves to play and love on the kiddos.

 He's VERY handy to have around the house!

He does the dishes, Every night!

He never complains about anything!

He's just a super guy all around!  Some of the other things he does for me on a weekly if not daily basis: Cleans the floors, does laundry, takes out the trash, cleans up the dinner mess, changes diapers, helps with bathing the kids, dresses the kids for Church on Sunday, mows the lawn, calls to arrange babysitters, helps with putting the kids to bed every night, feeds Max early in the morning before leaving for work and then puts him back to sleep, trims nails, cleans out the cars, picks up toys and basically does anything he sees that needs to be done.  

He is a super help to me on a daily basis and I promise I help a little bit too! Wink, Wink!
He's the best and again I'm so happy and grateful to call him mine!
Happy Birthday Babe!  I know it's kind off a lame Birthday for you, having to work late and all, but I'll try and make up for it tomorrow night.  I love you!

Tommy had a birthday.  The day happened to fall on our playdate day, so what better time then to have a party?  I dropped the kids off at school, rushed home and threw dollar store decorations all over the living room.  I honestly don't think I actually looked at myself in the mirror til after 2:00 that day.  It was crazy, but lots of fun.  Tommy had been asking to decorate with balloons for his birthday and I just said, "no, not this year".  When he returned home from preschool with all his little buddies, this is what he saw!

and this was just the table.

He was so surprised and the kids all loved it!  We had McD's for lunch,

opened presents,

played some games,

sang happy birthday,

 ate cupcakes,

threw a few temper tantrums {no four year old birthday party is complete without it!},

went on a balloon walk.

and even took a nap in the middle of it all!

We had a blast.  Happy Birthday Thomas, you are one of a kind!

I have cool friends, period.

Miss Molly turned the {not so big anymore} THIRTY!  Of course we had to celebrate.  Thanks for the great party Tangie, love the house!!!


The yummy food and darling display!

Some of the guests getting down to "just dance" on the Wii.  Cicily and James won the couples contest.  Tyler and I came in second.

The Gang {minus a few, insert sad face}
Jill, Cicily, Ashley, Molly, Me, Kizzy, Marlo, Lindsay and Lenor
{Missing: Ashley, Sheri, Sarah and sometimes Darcy}

We really are cool, funny how we're the ones that think that.  Wonder what everyone else thinks of us?  Hmmm?

As far as Husbands go...

...Tyler is totally boss!

he's the cheese to my macaroni
the extra strength Tylenol to my headache's
the light bulb to my lamp
the battery to my car
the glasses to my eye's
the toy in my happy meal and
the breath to my life
{silly, but funny, cause that's how I roll!}

I am 100% in love with this man.
He makes my world a wonderful place to be.

He's a very hands on Father which our children adore.

He makes my life comfortable and complete.

He is my life, my love, my eternity, my all.

Happy Birthday, Babe!  

Hope you enjoy the gift of me, cause I'm all yours and always will be!

Lots of Updating

Within the past month or so we've had...
Birthday Celebrations:

{Toms with his Birthday hat on from Preschool, having lunch with Daddy at Grandpa Toms house}

{Holding the treats he was going to share with all his little Preschool friends}

{Sheer excitement from seeing all the presents}

{His new Train Set!  Thanks to Tyler's cousin we were able to get a train table for free, along with about 12 trains.  Awesome!  Free birthday, can't beat that!}

{a cute picture of Lola with Tyler, taken at Toms little family cupcake party}

{Celebrating the little boys birthdays all together at my mom's house}

{make a wish!}

{more trains from Grandma!}

{My yummy Birthday cake that Tyler bought for us to share with D&A and T&M at "The Office" Premier party.  Good times, thanks guys for sharing my birthday night with me.}

{My birthday lunch with my In-Laws and Mom.  CPK, yum!  Thanks for all the fun gifts.}
Lots of fun cousin times:



{a "Late Night" at Spencer & Tiff's house the other night.  They all got their finger nails painted, watched a movie, decorated cookies, and had yummy kid food for dinner.  What a fun night to have for all the kids during fall break.  Toms loved it!}

{Abby's nail polish, or as Toms calls it "Pail Nolish"}

{the best part was that we were able to go to the movies, yaya watched Lola and we went to the movies.  It was a little weird cause we were the ONLY people in the theatre.  Freaky!}
We've also had the opportunity to drive the carpool to preschool, every third week is my turn, and it's a pain trying to figure out how to take three kids ALL in car seats and Lola to school in a civic.  Needless to say, I borrow someone else's car to make it work.  It sure is fun seeing these cute kids so excited for school!  Wouldn't you say?

{Toms, Avery and Province}
Toms being crazy and trying on some of Lola's things just hanging around.


Lola getting to be my cute model for some new fun craftiness I've been working on.  Lots of felt, flowers, ribbons, beads, buttons and bobbles!  Can't wait to show them all of at the Blissfest coming up in November!

{Bath time, she loves this, who wouldn't?}

{wanting her own cone for dessert at Granny and Papa's.  and of course, yaya gave it to her.  What are you gonna do?}

{I found her darling Halloween costume.  Can't wait for the whole outfit to come together.  Still no idea what Toms will be}

{more scrunchy faces, my favorite!}

{Leaving fun notes on special people's doors.  You know who you are and you know what you did, and you know that we love you for it!  Always!!!}


{loving these blue eye's, what a doll face!}

{lots of being awnry! That just comes with a three year old, lucky us!}

{and lots of lazy days, playing together and enjoying life.}


Wow, that's all for now.  
Power Blogging people, it's the way to go!
