Ty's 10th birthday.

This handsome guy just turned 10. He is so excited to finally be in the double digits. I now have two pre-teens on my hands. Luckily they are both pretty good kids. Ty is really into parkour, pokemon, baseball, basketball, and hanging out with his friends. He got a new scooter for his birthday and is excited to get to the skate park to try it out. He is helpful and funny, and still loves spending time with his Mom and Dad. I'm pretty sure he wishes he was an only child.

His birthday celebrations started on his actual birthday which was the 19th. Before school he got to open his card from his Grandma & Grandpa Olsen, then after school we went to Bert & Macs and he picked out his new scooter. It was a regular busy weekday but we also had cupcakes after supper. Sunday morning Ryan and I took him out to Ihop for his birthday breakfast, and then Shannon, Jody, and Lora came for a visit and we had birthday brownies. Cody came over for supper later and brought Ty a present of Pokemon cards and candy. Cody also showed them the magical world of snapchat and they had fun experimenting with that. Aunts and Uncle's are the best!

He also had a few lesson's on facing disappointment while a few plans fell through and had to be replaced with new one's. There were a few tears shed but I'm glad my kids are experiencing these things and it will hopefully prepare them for the future and make them capable of getting through hard things. There will always be challenges and plans that don't work out, but its important to move on and create new one's. Being a ten year old is hard :)

Happiest Birthday Ty! We love you.
