Always a Project

 Tyler is an amazing kid.  This summer we've called him the Muffin Man because at least 3 times a week he makes us muffins in the morning.  Last week he got creative and decided to color the muffins with food coloring so we could all have our favorite color.  He also wanted to see if the food coloring would make the muffin taste different.  They were almond poppy seed and all I can say is they were good in both the colors I tried!
Tyler with his favorite color--yellow!
 Another thing Tyler does in his free time is fold origami.  He loves origami and sometimes I even have to ground him from doing it because he gets so wrapped up in it, his mind can't focus on anything else.  He's kind of funny because if I hand him my grocery list for example, I get it back folded.  He can't hold a piece of paper and not start to fold it.  I totally admire his talent.  He's helped in Kory's class to teach kids how to make origami and I've even taken him to Young Women to have him teach them.  I am always amazed at his ability to teach and how perfectly he does each step.  So sweet are the days I'll find an origami flower on my dresser!

Those are amazing! I don't think I have the patience for something like that. My girls have tried a couple times, but they haven't stuck with it. What a talent he has!

Really cool. Chase would love if Tyler could teach him. Today when I picked Chase up from school his teacher's daughter was teaching him how to make a cup. He has the ninja star down that Greg taught him.
