My baby will turn 2 tomorrow. Ben, Peyton, and I love our little guy so much. He is silly and loving all of the time. He is independent and creative and wants to be just like the big boys in his life. There are so many little things I love about him. I love the way his face lights up when he sees me and how he runs as fast as he can to give me a hug. I love the way he turns my face towards him so I can give him a kiss. I love the way he sticks my hair in his ear when he is tired and wants to snuggle. I love how he plays with his cows, horses and tractors quietly in his room. Most of all, I love the joy in his face when he does something correctly...he claps his little hands and waits for all of us to do it with him. Brothers really are the best of friends and I am so happy I have two little boys....Peyton and Tate have so much fun together.
To celebrate Tate's birthday, Grandma Mary and Joey came for a visit. We were hoping that Ben and I would be able to go on a date...but it is recruiting season...so that did not happen. We had a party for Tate and he loved all of his presents. He got a really cool plasma car from Godparents Pat and Judi. He got a fishing pole, clothes, and leap frog alphabet game from Grandma. We saved our presents for him tomorrow...but his biggest present was his new BIG BOY BED! Tate started sleeping in his new bed about a month ago. He loves it and has slept the best he ever has. YAY for this mom!!! Tate's favorite part was the cupcakes...he does have a sweet tooth! You should have seen P and T dive into the 2 inches of frosting on the top...priceless.
Overall, we had a great weekend and the boys enjoyed all of the extra attention. I enjoyed all of the extra help with my laundry!
Ben, Michelle, Peyton and Tate

Has it really been six months....
I can't believe the last time I posted it was September! I think it is clear just how busy we are during the season. Luckily...all but recruiting is left. Signing day is coming soon...and I can't wait! We do get to see Ben a lot more now, but there are several weekends coming up with recruits already scheduled to come. I hope everyone he is wanting to come will sign themselves up!
The boys are growing like crazy. Peyton's 4th birthday in January was a great day and Tate will be 2 very soon! It is hard to believe that we have been in Maryville for 2 years. It is finally starting to feel like we belong here...which is wonderful.
Having two little guys means lots of fun outside when the weather is nice. Peyton and Tate LOVE to be out as much as possible. They got a John Deere Gator from Santa for Christmas and absolutely love riding it on our road in our development. We have lots of little boys in the neighborhood to play with as well. It seems like there is always someone outside to play with. I love seeing Peyton's little friendships develop. He will have so much fun in preschool. His preschool picnic is this Thursday...so it will be neat for him to be able to check things out. Since Peyton is going to preschool next year, we thought it would be best for Tate to do something new as well. Tate will be going to a fabulous new in home daycare. I have had my name on her waiting list for 2 years...and he is in! I can't wait for him to have some new opportunities with friends and other toys. I think he will have a blast....hopefully the transition will go smoothly!
This weekend, we planted our garden...well...actually Ben planted, while I gave rides on the lawn mower...haha. P and T are huge John Deere fans...and since we were working with things from our downstairs garage...they saw the mower. Peyton was good with planting for about five minutes and then told Ben he wasn't sure he liked that job. I think the garden will be much more fun when things start sprouting! Today is very (annoyingly) windy. We were going to plant our strawberries, but I think it will wait until we won't get dirt blown into our eyes.
I am going to post some pictures from our most recent photo shoot...and do a much better job of updating this!!!
