Tyler turned 10 a month ago and we went to Sacramento for Labor Day. We had his party over break. He likes his yearly sleepover birthday party. I don't love sleepovers but the kids always seem to have a great time. They came over, played in the front yard throwing around a football. We then went to pick up pizza at Mountain bikes and the kids mounted bikes, scooters, spinny cars and whatever they could to walk to the pizza place. We went to the park and Scott's friends came to play basketball and Tyler's friends threw nerf footballs I got them at the park. Made up game of tag with footballs while they ate pizza. Scott is leaving the kid/play stage and entering the hang out, meet up with friends, get to places on his own, plan his hang outs via text stage. Don't know how that happens or how I have a kid that old. Tyler is not far behind. Came home when it was dark to do a fire and smores, followed by Captain Underpants and a no sleep over as Danny refers to it. It was a great time had by all. Tyler invited about 12 kids but 8 of them were out of town for the first week of break. It ended up being 4 really great kids that all had a great time celebrating Tyler. Tyler felt so special and had a great time which equals birthday success! It was so great to see him so happy and feel so special. I am so grateful we had such a great time. I used to plan everything and have these activities and now realize to go with the flow. I had this cute table set for his birthday, but the kids wanted to eat at the park so we opened up the pizza boxes an they ate as they play which was great. I am grateful I have learned to go with the flow and let the magic happen. Those really are the best days and memories. Letting kids be kids. Happy Birthday Tyler! We love you!
