Tyler's Birthday

Since we hadn't yet figured out when to squeeze Tyler's birthday party in to everyone's busy schedules we decided to hold a little celebration after his football practice ended on his birthday. He made cupcakes to hand out at practice, but didn't follow the directions quite right and they had to be remade. Since the ones he made were still edible, we kept them around the house for the kids to eat. We decorated a few of them for Tyler and gave him some presents from us. His main present was the fishing pole, tackle box, and assorted lures that we bought him during our camping trip to Bay City, which he has already been using religiously since then.
