Tyler's Birthday

On Sunday, August 16th, we celebrated Tyler's 10th birthday with some of his family. Football obligations crept up on us, so we had to reschedule a couple of times. We ended up making pizzas for lunch at Tyler's request, and he chose to have a Detroit Pistons cake this year. Tyler was also very happy with his presents, especially his video games (one for his Playstation, and one for his soon to come PSP that his Dad and Mom are giving him). He is also looking forward to spending his pet store gift cards on a new pet lizard (his Dad isn't so excited about that one, though). Aside from having to cut it short to pick out his football helmet.
