Tyler's 13th Birthday

We held Tyler's birthday gathering two days after his actual birthday (serious progress based on the delay that Sam had!) with some of our family. Tyler wasn't asking for a lot this year - just money. Well, except from Tara and I - from us he wanted an Apple iPod. I tried to talk him into an Android based MP3 player, but he wasn't having any part of that. Needless to say, he wasn't disappointed in any of his gifts, as he got exactly what he asked for. Tyler, as well as Tara & I, would like to thank Grandpa Jerry, Grandma Gail, Great-Grandpa Hardy, Grandpa Gary, Grandma Terry, Great-Grandma Parrott, Steven, Dwayne, Erica, Donovan, and Marissa for helping to celebrate this special day with him.
