Tyler's Birthday

We went up to Hemet to celebrate Tyler's birthday at his house on July 3rd.

Rachel absolutely loves her Uncle TyTy...because he is so good with her and plays with her.

She was very helpful when it came to opening his presents.

She didn't want the bow on her head, she preferred to put it on Tyler's head.

After dinner, the adults went out and played a Ladder Ball tournament. Rachel watched...well actually she ran in the way...a lot! But mostly she just enjoyed running around in the 100+ degree heat.

My mom and David surprised everybody and won the tournament.

Lacey and Tim didn't do so well, while Tyler and I came in second place.

When we went back inside for dessert, I went to the fridge to get a drink. Rachel hopped in to cool off before I could even get my drink or refill hers.

She couldn't wait to have some "teak", which is what she calls cake (even though this was a pie).

She helped Tyler blow out his candles too. She doesn't say "Happy Birthday", she just says "Happy". When she saw this picture, she said Happy TyTy and remembers that it was his birthday.

I think this is the first candle that she has ever licked, and I took it away from her as soon as I saw her take a bite out of it. Yummy, wax!!!
