Tonight for FHE our family is writing down what we are thankful for. It was a fun hour full of craziness as usual. When we say laughter, tears, & mess, we mean it. There are many more things we are grateful for but here are the few we thought of tonight.

We are grateful for:

Cameron: Food to eat and play with, anything he can get his hands on, his big sister Jessie, Daddy's whiskers, playing with Daddy, roaring, running

Jessica: (She said this, really,) Bubba, Care Bear, princesses

Jack: My family, my friends, brothers & sisters, basketball, my teacher, 3 recesses today, my cousin Zach who is coming to visit me, music (rock n' roll)

Tyler: Clothes, Mom & Dad, my good brain, that my teeth are getting straighter, football, good books (The Lightning Thief, etc.), brothers and a sister I can play football with in the backyard, BYU (usually), grandparents, Aunts & Uncles, being tall

Matthew: being on this earth (as opposed to the other planets he's been on), scriptures, prayer, cool parents (his words not ours), to be named after my Dad, tackle football, basketball, food, my brothers & sisters, that I am the first boy in my family, scouts, friends, Prophets, food, Aunts & Uncles, video games, being tall

Annie: sarcasm, my family, that I have a sister - Jessie, that my Mom was in YW with me, David Archuleta, that I can play tennis, I can watch tennis, I can think about tennis, boys, friends, midnight movies

Mom: Ashley, 6 healthy (overall healthy) kids, the gospel, prayer, the YW in my ward, the things I've learned this year (good & bad), a couple of good friends to vent with, other Moms to commiserate and laugh with about children, that I have 4 kids in school all day and no one in preschool or kindergarten, carpeted floors, grass in the backyard

Dad: a wife who listens to the spirit and brings it into our home, a good job & boss, all my kids, kids I can play football with outside, that I can serve others, the truth I know, Joseph Smith, that I can now breathe out of my nose (surgery helped that), Tivo.

Tyler's Teeth Before & After

Before: This is when he first got his braces on. He had 2 extra front teeth pulled (the gap). He had a sideways tooth and a tooth coming in the roof of his mouth.









After: 9 months later! They took his braces off to put new brackets on. It's amazing! The gap was gone within 3 months. He likes to smile a lot more now!


He's braces buddy with his Grandma Liz. He gave her advice when she got her's put on. He also got blue rubber bands for BYU!
GOOOOOOOO Tyler!

I'm Tyler Mark Oviatt

Hi, my name is Tyler aka Ty . I like to play football, basketball and hurdling in my backyard. (we built a hurdle out of stuff in our backyard.) I also play football with Annie and Matthew in the backyard - tackle!

This is Me Today

I will be turning 9 in Dec. I am in 3rd grade and my teacher is Mrs. Nelson. She is so cool! I also have braces. At first they hurt my lips. In fact it hurt so bad I bled. I played flag football this year. I got 5 picks (interceptions) , 0 touchdowns and a lot flag pulls! I drive my mom nuts with how good I played!

I was a nerd for Halloween!

I am reading "The Sea of Monsters" by Rick Riordan. It's about a kid named Percy Jackson. He has to go to the Sea of Monsters to clear a centuar named Chiron's name because he got kicked out of camp half blood. Camp half blood is a place that half bloods like Percy can go to be safe from monsters because of Thalia's pine tree that is the boundary line for monsters. It's really good so far.

Sometimes I like my family, if I don't it means I'm fighting with them. But I always love them! Here's my TOP 5 Things I like to do with my family:
5- Play tackle football with Jackson, Annie & Matthew
4- Go to Lagoon
3- Go to Disneyland
2- Playing basketball with my Dad
1- Go to BYU football with my Dad & my Grandpa Mark

That's me right now! TO BE CONTINUED...

Note from Eleisha/Mom: Tyler wrote this himself. I helped edit a bit but he did most of it.
