October 13,

Master Jedi turns 7!

The kid turns 7 today.
And we brought him to Disney last week.

He got picked for the Jedi Training Academy.

He was also picked to ask Crush (Finding Nemo) a question.

I didn’t get to video that one but here is what the conversation was like:
Tyler: “How was it when you were in the movie?”
Crush: (Pauses) “I was in a movie?”
Tyler: “Yes! Remember? Finding Nemo?”
Crush: “Oh yeah. It was ok. It took us about an hour and a half to find him.”

The kid had a great time.
And so did I.

Thank you to all who greeted him.
Happy Birthday, Son!

Happy Birthday, Tyler!

The kid turns 6 today.
That’s like a whole hand and a finger!

Don’t let the face fool you.
He is the only kid I know who can beat his old man
in our weekly “Household Father-and-Son Farting Competition.”
(He got me in the “stench-severity category.”)

No matter!
I am still the “Semi-Monthly Burping Tournament” Champion.

Happy Birthday, Son!
Thank you for showing me who I really am.

Now I believe it.

It has been proven!

Time Travel is possible.

How do I know?

Well, Tyler turns 4 today.
And that last four years freakin’ flew by!

Oh and I also learned one more thing with this time travel theory.

Don’t blink.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER!

…and Tyler turns 3!

There was this song I used to play a long time ago.
Though it never really mattered much,
nor anything at all.
Until my son was born.

I really do wish I have written this one.
So, Happy Birthday Tyler!
Our son, who gave meaning to it all.

This song is for you.

Your Momma and I,

Happy Birthday Tyler

Happy 2nd birthday to you my son.
You have taught me so much about who I really am.

Your Mother and I love you very much.

Now.
Let the terrible two’s begin!

Happy Birthday Tyler!

Happy 1st Birthday to you my son.
Thank the Lord for making our first year together awe-inspiring.
Your Mother and I love you very very much.

What a way to celebrate Thanksgiving.
I was in the delivery room the whole time.

No, I did not pass out.
I even cut the cord.
I was happier than a dog with two tails.

A big “Thank you” to all our friends and families.
And to all the amazing Hospital staff.

This is the reason why we are put to this world.

Praise God!
