Wow...It's been a long time......

Well where do I start??  It has been a very long time since I have posted a blog for Ty and we have a lot to share.

Tylor has been doing so well.  He is doing great in school.  He has more interactive with his peers this year.  He participates more in class and stays awake more then ever during the day.  He does like to watch the girls at lunch which complicates eating but at least he's enjoying himself...right??  When I put him on the bus and take him off he always has a smile on his face, which makes it much easier to send him to school.

It was a very special Homecoming for Tylor. He was asked by his "girlfriend" Elena and of course I made it happen.  His Uncle Mitch was nice enough to let him borrow some clothes that looked very handsome on him.  He and Elena had a wonderful time with each other and they were both happy to see most of their friends there.  It was so cute to see them holding hands most of the night.

What a cute couple!!!

 

Time to say Goodnight!!

 Ty also celebrated his 16th birthday!!!  We went out to eat at a local Mexican restaurant with some friends.  He loves to eat there.. or it might be that his Mama loves their Margaritas.  But at any rate we had a great time and Ty was full of smile the whole time and loves his Birthday dessert.

 A few more updates Ty is still not going to PT or OT because he is going so well.  His new AFO's are working out great and his strength is awesome!!  We have been very blessed with Ty's condition and how slow it has been progressing.  He is such a happy and loving kid...I couldn't ask for anything more in our situation.

I hope you all enjoy the pictures and I am hoping to post more often now that things have settled down a bit in our lives.

15 ALREADY!!!!

September 11th was Tylor's 15th Birthday! We had a blast...Tylor was battling a cold but he still had a great time with his family and friends.

We went camping at Big H for the weekend. Saturday everyone came up for a little party. We had a pinata for the kids which took quite a beating this year. I think next year I will get two, one for the big kids and one for the little kids. We had cake, sang Happy Birthday, and opened presents.

The kids got the adults to play volleyball and Grandma Mulgrew played baseball with some of them. Thank you everyone for your Birthday wishes and cards!! It made for a great 15th Birthday.

Today would have been my Dad's (Tylor's Grandpa) 69th Birthday! Happy Brithday in Heaven...we miss you and love you so much.

14 ALREADY!!!

Tylor two days old

I can't believe that Tylor is already 14!! Where has the time gone? Tylor has brought me so much enjoy. I was going through pictures and old video tapes the other night and we have made some great memories! On Saturday we made more great memories!! The Dragon Boat races were held on September 10th-12th at Camp 17. We have been going to the Dragon Boat races for the last 4 years to camp and celebrate Ty's birthday. Ty loves to see his friends and family so he was very happy to see how many of them showed up on Saturday. This year Ty's Dad and his family came too. It made his birthday that much more special to have both his families there.

Tylor got his first present on Friday night

After we ate lunch it was time to hang up the pinata! I knew there would be a lot of kids coming so I stuffed Scooby with over 200 pieces of candy!! Scooby only lasted for a few swings....the kids really hit hard. Sy and Ryan figured out a way to hang him back up so the rest of the kids could take a turn. After all the kids got a crack at it, Sy the big kid took one swing and rained candy.

While the kids finished picking up all the candy I got the cake ready. It was way to windy for the candles but that didn't stop us from singing Happy Birthday. Ty was slow at eating his cupcake so I thought I would help him get started and then oops I missed his mouth.....

Got Ya!!



Than of course it was time for Ty to open his gifts. It was close to his nap time and Ty was getting tired so he let the younger kids help open his gifts. He got a lot of homemade cards, movies, stress balls, and more. After all that excitement it was time to nap but guess what all the kids wanted to lay by him so he didn't sleep much.

When the sun started to set we started the fire and broke out the marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate.  Tylor loves S'mores and sitting by the fire but soon it was time for bed. He had such a long day but he did great.

Becky wouldn't let Ty go to bed
