Happy Birthday Tate!

A couple weeks ago, Tate had his second birthday! He is such a big boy now! Well... at least he seems to think so. There is no telling what this kid is going to do. He has already given me a good taste of the terrible two's... lets just hope they don't last too long. But for the most part, he is the sweetest little boy in the world!!! I love him to death!

We started off the day with some Birthday pancakes!

Tate was struggling to blow out the candles... so thanks to Matix, the two of them were able to get the job done.

CHRISTMAS 2007

Well it took me a while to finally post some pictures from Christmas Day but better late than never...right?! Anyway, Christmas was such a blast this year because Tate is at the age where he is starting to understand things ... ok well kinda. He definately knew how to open presents this year and he LOVED it. As usual, it was an exciting, busy, and exausting day. Tate had so much fun going to all the grandparents' houses and opening up all his gifts. YES... he was quite the spoiled kid for one day. But he still tells me all the time, "SANTA SO NICE!"

Tate's Quad that "Pa & Noey" got him for Christmas. He LOVES it!

Christmas Eve

This year for Christmas Eve we went over to my grandparents' house. We had our annual Christmas Eve Dinner and program. For the program, all the little kids acted out the Nativity. Tate was the cutest little shepherd all dressed up in his boxing robe (Yes... that was the best thing I could come up with for him to wear). Well, he did so good keeping his costume on until right before he was supposed to make his acting debut. At least Trey pulled through... we were just one shepherd short!

Santa Came A Day Early!

Tate and Brooklynn were so good this year that Santa came a day early for them! Well, G-mo and I knew that Christmas Day was going to be such a busy day (visiting all the grandparents), so we made arrangements with Santa to make a special visit to our house on Christmas Eve Morning... Unfortunately, Brooklynn slept through the whole thing! There's always next year!

Tate couldn't wait to ride his new bike that Santa brought him

Just Like Daddy!

Tate is the cutest boy in the world. Lately he has been obsessed with trying to be a "little helper"... or doing everything daddy does. Most of the time he is just making the biggest mess but I can't help but laugh when he comes out covered in shaving cream saying, "I helping so much!"

Of course Tate saw G-mo shaving and just had to try it out.

Tate loves to be just like daddy and ride his airplane.

Tate always asks me if he can do muscles like daddy! He is actually a pretty strong little guy and can lift 10 pounds no problem.

My Sweet Brooklynn

Here are some pictures from last week when Brooklynn was blessed. She is so sweet!

Brooklynn wasn't too happy when Tate tried to hold her

Mommy and Brooklynn again...I just love those cheeks!

Tate just kickin' back...saying CHEESE of course!

This just might be the only picture of all 4 of us!

X-MAS PARTY at BOUNCE-U!

This year the Lane family decided to do something different and have the annual Christmas party at Bounce-U. Everyone had a blast and luckily there were no broken bones.

Tate just being the cheese-ball he is. He is definately not camera shy!

Tate with his aunt Alexa...or as Tate would say "Wessa"

I just think this is the cutest picture of Marley with her tongue hanging out! She is a doll!

Tate was loving the slides...or maybe he was loving being thrown down the slides by G-mo.

Even Grandma Lane couldn't resist! She was a trooper and actually won a few races against her grandkids!
