All about a 10 year old boy

 Tyler's actual birthday was the same as Cub Scout Pack night, so we waited to celebrate until the next day.  He was not sad at all that Pack meeting was on his birthday.  That was a birthday present in and of itself!

He earned 9 arrow points (total) with his bear, and his Whittling Chip badge that night.

This was a game to do with "cooperation".  Tyler's friend (whose name is also Tyler!) had to feed Tyler chocolate pudding by dropping spoonfuls from way above where Tyler was laying.  Ha ha.  It was awesome.  The girls did it too, but we didn't get any pictures of them.

 

So the next day, we celebrated Tyler's birthday.  He got birthday money from both sets of grandparents, and picked out a star wars lego set with that money.  Here he is, opening that present, in the next few pictures:

 

For his party, he wanted a Harry Potter cake.  He was very specific about what he wanted it to look like.  After I decorated it, his only complaint was that Harry is supposed to have green eyes, no blue.  I was just happy that I thought of cutting out eyes from airheads; I forgot to even think about what color they should be.  Tyler was nice about it though, and said it was an awesome cake anyway. 

 Then we hosted a party for Tyler.  ***Note: Ten 10-yr olds is ALOT of boys, energy, hunger, and enthusiasm!!!

Tyler is the best son you could ever ask for.  He is just so so good! And so so so much fun.  And so full of knowledge about EVERYTHING.  If he's read it, he remembers it.  And then he's telling his mom ALL about it.  He adds so much to our family.  He is a great big brother to his sisters and brother.  He loves to help them and watch out for them. 
Tyler-we're so thankful you are a part of our family.  We love you, and we are so proud of you!
