The Tingle Family

Tyrus Tingle Turns 6

We've started a small tradition in the last 2 years. On the morning of the kids birthdays we have cake for breakfast, just the 4 of us. I just get a small cake from Publix and have them put the age on it. It's a perfect size. Another tradition, that we didn't do this year, was take a picture at 6:19, the minute T was born. I've done it every year so far, but this year his birthday fell on a Saturday and I just couldn't bring myself to wake him up. I kinda regret not doing it, but I'll make up for it next year. Anyways, here his cake...

Mary woke up first and she was really excited to go wake T up and sing to him...

And here is what T got for his 6th birthday, a 47 gallon salt water tank!! A co worker of mine was getting rid of it so he GAVE it to us including the pump and everything. All we had to do was buy the fish. Our plan for the day was to go get him a new fish...

Here is our sweetest boy doing what he does most of the time that he is home. He LOVES watching and discoving new creatures...

And here he is after we sang happy birthday to him...

Cake for breakfast!!

Sweetest lady wanted some too...

So, we put her on the table...

We did buy this rock for the tank and once we got it home we discovered that it has a live oyster on it. Can you see where T is pointing? That is the mouth of the oyster...

His first 2 fish...

What Daddy and T do best...

They sit and talk about what they see all the time...

We had big plans for the day! We were going out of town the next morning so we had to take Lu to Mom's so that Grandpa could watch her. The kids love it when Lu rides with us, but they fight over whos lap she will sit in. Here is Mary showing her unhappy face because Lu chose T...
