Ty.

Ty turned nine a few days ago, which means he's been melting my heart for nine whole years. It first started with that round head, chubby cheeks, and big blue eyes. Now its with that charming personality and smile that lights up his whole face. He really is growing into a fine young man.

He is adventurous and a lot of fun to be around. He isn't afraid to try new things and loves to be outdoors.

He has a great sense of humor and is always making us laugh. Here he dressed up like his Dad.

He lives and sleeps football. He is a natural athlete. He catches on quickly to things, has confidence, and just goes for it.

But best of all he is kind hearted and generous. One morning even though he had a sore arm and had it in a sling he went out and shoveled the snow cause his Dad asked him too, even though his Mom said he didn't have to with his sore arm. When I looked out to see how he was doing he was shoveling the neighbors sidewalk and driveway as well.

We sure love you Tyger! Happiest Birthday. I'm looking forward to many more heart melting moments as I watch you grow.
