Tyler's Birthday Fun

Four years ago yesterday, our lives changed forever when Tyler Joseph Frierdich came into this world! Although we were both very excited, we had no idea how much our hearts would grow from having a child. We knew from day one that he was special....and perhaps a little high maintenance....but that has made him who he is and for that we are very thankful. He's definitely one of a kind....a good kind....the perfect kind....and he has brought us so much joy and laughter (and a few gray hairs)! We wake up every morning wondering what hilarious statement he will make for the day...and every day we have something funny to talk about at night. We can't believe that 4 years have gone by so quickly and we can't wait to see what the next years bring!

We decided last year, that every year on the boys' birthday we would take the day of work and spend the day doing things that they want to do. We think this will be a great tradition that they will always remember and grow to appreciate someday. So this year what did we spend the day doing.....we started at the Museum of Transportation then went to a John Deere Construction Equipment Dealer then a Caterpillar Dealer and finally a John Deere Tractor Dealership...it was Tyler's perfect day. As you can see in the pictures below, he got to sit on a lot of equipment and had a very fun day.

Happy Birthday Tyler Joseph....Mommy and Daddy love you!
