Kyler's Story-Part 2 The Obliterater

As Kyler got bigger he started to develop a pretty good sense of humor. One day he said to his dad out of nowhere,"Grandma the hut, dad, get it, grandma the hut. He though that was sooo funny. He would also make us laugh with his articulate speech. One day he was playing Power Rangers (red was always his favorite) and he told his sister (usually the pink or yellow Power Ranger) that he would obliterate her.

Obliterate
ob.lit.er.ate [uh-blit-uh-reyt]
definition: to remove or destroy all traces of; do away with; destroy completely

But besides wanting to obliterate her he was usually a great big brother. He always included Katie in everything he did or played. He was always willing to play with her even though she was younger and a girl (she couldn't help that). When Jonas came along, he had so much patience with him, and now with Sammy. He is just a great big brother. I hope his brothers and sister will eventually appreciate that in him.


When he started to go to school he all of sudden turned into a big boy. He was so brave even though he had never been away from his family. EVER!!! I cried. After that he was our biggest and oldest child. Kyler and Katie weren't really the same age anymore. He was in school now. He has always been a very good boy in school. His teachers have always said they love having him in their classes and they wished all the kids could be Kyler. Of course, we as parents have to take a little credit for that (pat,pat).

Kyler isn't just great at school, he is great at home too. He is very helpful and we never have to ask him more than once to do anything. He is also very responsible and in a way takes pretty good care of himself. He always wants to do the right thing and never wants to dissapoint anyone. Kyler is an awesome kid. We couldn't ask him to be better. We are so lucky to have him in our lives and as our son.

I see so much of him in Sammy it's crazy. It's kind of like we get a piece of Kyler as a baby again.

Kyler is such a great kid. He is an old soul. I love listening to the things he has to say. I don't know any almost 11 year old that is as deep as he is. I think he really puts a lot of thought into everything. He doesn't talk before he thinks about the way he wants to portray his feelings, and that seems to be the same for his actions. We love Kyler over here.
Happy almost birthday!
