Tyler's Birthday Weekend

I can’t believe it, but we just celebrated Tyler’s 3rd birthday! We headed down to Ft. Lauderdale on Friday to spend the weekend with my sister-in-laws. Melissa lives in Ft. Lauderdale and Marci flew in from New York. It was so fun to see them again! Tyler’s birthday was on Saturday and after breakfast, and haircuts for Matt and I (compliments of Marci), the celebrations began when Tyler got his presents. He got a kite from Mel and a remote controlled boat from Granny Deb and Marci. We headed to the park so he could try out his new toys, and to take some family pictures. It was a great day for the park! The wind was perfect for kite flying, but a little annoying while we were trying to take pictures! After a couple of hours at the park it was time for naps. While the boys were sleeping Marci, Mel and I had a girls afternoon and got pedicures. It was so relaxing! Thanks again ladies! We finished up the day with dinner and an ice cream cake from Cold Stone. I think it’s safe to say Tyler had a great birthday! Here is our trip in pictures (and just to warn you there are a lot of them!)...

Tyler chillin on the way down!

'Reading' his card from Granny.

The reason his boat looks like a plane is because it submerges and can be driven like a submarine. It's pretty cool to play with!

Getting ready to test out his boat. I'm not sure who was more excited, Tyler or Matt!

Daddy let Tyler drive first so he wouldn't feel guilty when he took over!

His kite in action!

Tyler wasn't too excited about taking family pictures! I don't think Riley was either!

Siblings.

Love these girls!

The funny thing about this picture is that right after the above picture was taken I almost fell backwards out of the tree! Luckily Marci is quick and grabbed me! Thanks girl!

Tyler's cake.

He loved it!

My new haircut, part 2. At the park on Saturday Marci decided she wanted to cut my hair a little shorter in the back. I was up for anything so Sunday morning I got another cut!

The back.

I love it! Thanks again Marci!

We visited Mel at work before heading home on Sunday.

Here is a video of Tyler getting his boat.
