Shrek, Video Games, and Ice-Cream . . .

What do all these things have in common ------ Tyler's Birthday!
Last week was Tyler's birthday, but he wanted to see the new Shrek movie with his friends. So he patiently waited for opening day. I think his birthday was an overall success.
Dinner was a spread of some of Tyler's favorites: BBQ Teriyaki Chicken, Teri Burgers and all the fixings, chips, tater tots, veggies. It was good! Thanks dad for BBQing it all.

After dinner we headed out to the movies.

There were so many of us, we had to do two runs from our house to the theater.

Tyler and his friends, waiting for Shrek IV to start.

We let Micah bring along a friend (a brother of one of Tyler's friends). These two are hyper-goofballs.

After the movies, it was time for ice-cream. Tyler's not a big fan of birthday cake. He requested instead an ice-cream bar.

Mmmmmm. Yummy toppings.

The boys stayed up really, really late playing video games and then were up before 6am I think. One of the boys had to leave early, so they all had an early breakfast. I apologize now if they're grouchy later. Of course we all know that's what we sign up for when it comes to sleep overs.

More video gaming! The boys actually did a lot of other things as well. The rode around on their bikes, played legos, had a war with all the nerf guns in the house.

Here they are before disbanding this morning. They are all in our ward. We are thankful that Tyler has good friends!
