Tyler

I thought that since I didn't blog Tyler’s birthday I would do special blog just for Tyler. There has been a lot going on in his life these last few months that I forget that he isn't a little boy anymore. Tyler is now twelve years old and couldn't act more like a teenager. The only thing he has got on his mind is sports, girls, and sleep.













Tyler on his birthday! He hates having his picture taken so you might not get to see his cute face in many of them.
















His favorite food is biscuits and gravy!


















His favorite activities are playing Guitar Hero, Runescape, and listening to his Ipod!
















He hates mornings with a passion! That is his M&M he can't sleep without! Notice all the luscious blankets he has got wrapped around him thanks to his favorite Grandma Darla.





















His favorite color is pink! This was his first day of 6th grade and hated every minute of it. He is growing out his hair that is why you can barely see his eyes.















He is anti-social: everyone else is upstairs enjoying the food prepared by his Grandma after he received the priesthood.















Here he is walking away from me embarrassed because I am still taking pictures. One thing that I have recently noticed with Tyler is that he isn't my little boy anymore. We recently went to the State fair and he was miserable the whole time until he ran into a girl from his school. I am taking a creative writing class and had to write a poem about a memorable time in my life. Now all you English people don't judge it's my first poem.

He Held Her Hand
This is stupid.
Why did you make me come?
I am getting to old for these carnival rides.
The merry go round goes up and down.
Bored all day with nothing to do
But hang out with just you.
I wish you knew how cool
You really aren’t.
The gossip and girl talk is all I can take.
Can’t someone come and take me away?
My wish comes true
Oh, how I now can get rid of you.
She bats her eyelashes.
I rise with bravery.
Ask for money, smile big,
I will talk to you soon.

Stuttering, speechless, where did you go?
I slowly pick my jaw up off the ground,
I notice nothing but the slowness that is around.
I notice as he walked with her.
He isn’t a child anymore today.
He held her hand and walked away.
