Tate's Birthday

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TATE!!!

Tate turned 5 this year!! I cannot believe my once baby boy is FIVE!! He celebrated his big day by taking cup cakes to preschool, eating chicken wings for dinner, and then going to the best place in town....KIWI LOCO!! These are all Tate's favorite things and when I asked him where he wanted to go for his birthday he  said Kiwi Loco, so that is where we went. 

I love Tate and his energy. He has always been my special little boy, but now he is a "big" boy since he is a big brother. I kept telling him he could not turn 5, but he was so excited to be 5 that he would say, "Mom I am going to be 5!" Tate loves the outdoors; he loves to play in the dirt, play with the hose, go boating, swimming, swinging, running, jumping, and anything else you can do outside. All summer long whenever the boys went boating you can guarantee Tate was a part of that crew. He would jump into the river/lake in a heartbeat and even went wakeboarding this summer! He learned how to ride his bike without training wheels a week before his birthday and it took one day before he was riding like a pro. Tate is learning so much at school and can write his name, his alphabet, sing songs, memorize like a champ, and is one smart cookie. He is LOUD as can be and very tender hearted. I love my little, big guy and am so proud to be his mommy! Happy Birthday to my special son TATE!!!

When I asked Tate what kind of cake he wanted, he said a Mario Cake. Well after some research most of the Mario cakes were pretty elaborate so instead we did Mushroom or Toadstool cupcakes! I tried to convince him to take other treats to class, but at 5 CUPCAKES are the thing! So toadstool cupcakes were his big thing!!
