Happy Birthday Tyler

Turning eight has been GREAT for Tyler.

We spent the entire weekend doing what he loves best - baseball.

Saturday morning he had a game. His mind was already on the evenings plans so he said he couldn't "concentrate" like he should. He has been looking forward to his birthday for 3 months so that was understandable. He still performed well for not being able to concentrate - 3 doubles and several put outs. He made more errors than he normally does but that must have been when his mind wandered a little!

The team sang to him after the game and we all enjoyed some cupcakes

Later that day we went to our local AAA affiliate - The Nashville Sounds - for his birthday bash.

He was so excited to get all of his goodies!

A baseball

An authentic jersey
A cake

AND he got to throw out a ceremonial first pitch!
This is his dream - to pitch from a real mound.
He started on the rubber and almost made it to the catcher behind home plate.


The entire stadium sang happy birthday to the kids celebrating....pretty special!

It definitely gets a notch on the list of best birthday's EVER!

Happy birthday Tyler - we love you more than you can ever know!
