Big News!

Our Tylerman turned 4 today!

We fell in love with this little man the moment he came into the world and joined our family. We adored every thing about him and were very eager for the joys we would experience with him in the years ahead.


The first year brought all the traditional milestones along with it - smiling, laughing, crawling, walking, talking and all the other little things he did to make us feel like the luckiest and proudest parents on earth!
And then he turned ONE...


The second year seemed to creep by a bit faster than the first. Tyler got to go on some fun trips during his 2nd year, including a Caribbean cruise! He managed to steal the spotlight with his charming personality and adorable tuxes while aboard the ship.
And then he turned TWO...


Our sweet baby was slowly transforming into a fun little boy! Each day brought something new with Tylerman. His intelligence amazed us on a daily basis, and he impressed us with the things he could bring out of that little memory bank of his. His wisdom far surpassed his years, and once again, we felt like the luckiest and proudest parents on earth!
And then he turned THREE...

In Tyler's third year, he became quite an adventurous little guy. His many experiences included climbing ladders and trees, meeting a police officer, going to the races, learning to swim, searching for wildlife (specifically turtles), getting to be a ring bearer, getting to ride a horse, driving a bulldozer, and going to Sunbeams. What a big boy he was becoming!
And then he turned FOUR...

I'm not sure where the time went, but what I DO know is that we have had a fun-filled four years with this little guy! He fills each of our days with happiness and brightens up each moment with his captivating smile. He is amazing in every way. Our lives wouldn't be the same without him! We are so eager to see what adventures this next year will bring!

We love you so much Tyler!

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY!!!

The 4 of things are cool. That's a better idea than the 10 that I did of Keilana. Hm...I might have to edit that post. Copy cat! lol I don't care, that is clever! As long as I give you the props for it. *muah*

Thanks for being such an energetic, fun, and EXPRESSIVE little boy. You certainly are a joy to have around. WE LOVE YOU!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! to our "little man" and our first grandson. I certainly did enjoy celebrating your special day with you!! You decorated such lovely cupcakes for us all. They were delicious!! I'm glad we caught PaPaw before he ate that "GREEN" one with the "T" on it aren't you? :) I'm also excited to go to the Bounce House with you to celebrate again. PaPaw and Grandma can hardly believe you have turned four already. You are growing up so fast. It seems not that long ago that we were going to the hospital to be there for your birth. What a special bundle of joy you were for us as we journeyed down that special road in our lives as grandparents. Keilana had already joined our family and now we were excited for you. You two are so close and are such good friends, and I hope that will continue as you two grow up. Tyler, it has been a wonderful and exciting four years spent with you. You are such a brilliant little boy and have brought us so much love and joy. We appreciate you and love you for all the other special things you bring to our family--your excitement for life in all that you do, your willingness to be such an obedient and appreciative little boy, the way you love to learn about everything, and the love that you show to your family and to Heavenly Father and Jesus. You are a loving and caring big brother to your little sister (and future siblings I'm sure). I thank Heavenly Father often for sending such wonderful little spirits to us to live and to love while on this earth and into eternity. I'm so thankful "families are forever"!! Have an exciting birthday week and year!! We APPRECIATE you, LOVE you, and CHERISH you forever little one. With our love, Papaw and Grandma Hamby.
