Mackenzie has lost her first tooth...

I don't know why we say they lost their tooth but I guess that is best way to put it right now. Mackenzie wasn't so sure what to think about her tooth that was "hurting her" as she says. But I noticed that her tooth started looking a little off and that everytime she might say something the postion of the tooth would change. So I took a look at it and it was getting to be a little loose. So this whole week she could hardly eat and kept saying that it hurt. So today Daddy and I noticed that it was really loose and so he decided to pull it and scared her half to death with the pliers he took out to get it with. She finally let him pull it and it took one pull and then it was out. I think she is relieved now.

Mackenzie this past week on picture day.

Mommy wanted to get a few pictures of her teeth before they started coming out.

Our princess has finally lost her first tooth. So cute!

Mackenzie's Big Day starting Kindergarten

Such a big milestone for us in the Tyler household this year. Our little girl started her first day of BIG school as she calls it. So excited I was surprised that she even slept the night before but she did. She got up ready to go and enjoyed her day. Her favorite part she said was lunch. Go figure. I'm just glad that she enjoyed the adventure so far.


Judah wanted to join in on the fun with having his picture taken. He pretty much wants to do anything that Mackenzie gets to do right now.

She was getting a little aggrevated at mommy for taking pictures. But I wasn't going to stop. These are great memories here.

In her classroom getting ready for her first task. She was ready even if it was 7:30 in the morning. Mommy needed a nap after dropping her off.

Some of the summer finally...

We have had a busy summer I tell you. As you can see I am finally updating the blog with pictures and some information from what we were able to do during the summer. Where I had left off was from our Disney trip and we sure were glad that we took that before the summer and had a break to be ready for the summer. Our church had VBS during June and we participated in that this year and really enjoyed the adventure. Mackenzie went to Camp Sonshine at church during the summer and truly enjoyed the activities that they did and being able to be with friends. After VBS we had other activities that we did with the students and enjoyed every one of them. Right at the end of June we found out that we are expecting again and I'm due March 3rd. Matt was really excited as I was a little nervous about welcoming a third Tyler into the world. Our children are so busy and active that they already keep me busy I can't imagine what the third will be like. But we are blessed to have another one on the way. We were able to see family some during the summer and we enjoyed their visits. Matt's parents came to visit one weekend in July and keep the kids while we took our college students to Big Kahuna's in Destin for the day. Janel's parents came for the week at the end of July to keep the kids while we went to camp with our students to Fringe Camp in Panama City Beach. Such a great way to end the summer and challenging our students before school. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Jason McCloud from Facing the Giants and Fireproof led some of our bible study times and hung out with us the whole week at camp.

Two of our girls, Kristen and Alli. Such sweet girls.

Another picture of more of our girls and they are all awesome. In this picture is Kim, Morgan, Taylor, Kaitlyn and Alex. We have the best girls in our group.

Some of our group at Big Kahuna's getting ready to enjoy the water and rides. To bad I couldn't, but the lazy river was great anyway.

I had to include these they are so cute. This is Mackenzie and our niece Ellie. They wore their matching PJ's and I wanted to get their pictures together getting ready for bed. Mackenzie was exicted that Ellie got to spend the night.

Aren't they cute?
