Michael Ty is FIVE

Its hard to believe this guy will be in kindergarten next year! Wow, this is a milestone. Pop and Cita came in Monday evening and were able to share a meal with several other family members here in Lubbock in honor of Ty's birthday. Trent made redbeans with jalepeno sausage and rice and mexican corn bread! SO yummy on such a cold day! We celebrated with family the day before because Ty and Pop had a big surprise the next day which was the real day. That will be in the next post. Ty was a little embarassed this year and does not like attention to be drawn to him but made it through the song and really enjoyed opening his presents. Among them were some HUGE Incredible Hulk gloves, an Iron Man mask and launcher, and Batman and Joker action figures along with many nice clothes! He and Olivia had fun the rest of the night playing!

Some things to note about Ty at age 5:

*Favorite color is still green

*Can not get enough of any type of super hero but is big into the hulk now

*Loves school and his teacher

*If asked his preference on dinner... always every last time says the hot dog place (Weinerschnitzel sp?)

*Favorite sport is baseball and asks on a daily basis when he will get to play again

*Has a MAJOR sweet tooth

*Loves to snuggle and crawl up in bed with his Daddy early in the morning

*Will eat just about anything you put in front of him

*Loves to play with his cousins

*Likes to pick out his own clothes everday and is picky about this and the shoes that go with it!

*Can be found sleeping in his spiderman tobagon and gloves most nights

*Also found in bed with his sister many mornings

*Very neat little guy, like things in order

*Loves to color, write letters, numbers, and sing

He is my favorite little dude ever. Makes me laugh daily, almost hourly! I say this every year.. but I think this is my favorite age yet with Ty! It just keeps getting better and better. He has such a dear heart and shows concern for everyone he knows and prays for him without any nudging! I love him to bits! He will have a Hulk party this Saturday with 9 other little boys at The Main Event for a bowling and hotdogs! Its so nice to be at this place where he can pick things and help out so much. Here's to Five years buddy!
