Happy Birthday Sweet Tyler!

Jackson & Isaac "examining their baby" and anxiously ready to be big brothers.

Oh, how can you be 4 already?

How instantaneously a mother's heart can love ...


And baby makes 5! (Jackson 3, Isaac 2 & Tyler on his birthday!)

Notice the "it's a boy!" lollipop he's holding?

Dearest Tyler,

Four years ago, this very day, we welcomed you into the world, our family and our hearts! Your birth was so special to us because we didn't know if you were going to be a boy or girl! The Lord knew just what our family needed and we were thrilled to find out our precious baby was a BOY, a new baby brother for Jackson & Isaac. You were the peanut of this gang, weighing in at 8 lbs. 9 oz. Oh, how beautiful you were and are!

The second I saw you I was just just smitten over you! And, it didn't take long for your little "firecracker" personality to shine through ... that little personality of yours adds so much to our family. You can certainly hold your own next to your big brothers and could right from the start.

I just love to watch your priceless expressions and your fun-loving side -- you can be a real clown and love to make your brothers laugh. You are becoming quite the little athlete and artist, too. I love to snuggle up next to you and watch movies. It warms my heart to see the admiration that you have for your older brothers and the example you set for your baby brother. I appreciate when you want to be my "helper."

Tyler, I am so proud of you and I love you so very much! I am so thankful that God chose me to be your mommy! Happy 4th Birthday my sweet boy! I love you to the moon and back!

xoxo,

Mommy
