I know that I say this every time there's a birthday, but WHERE DOES THE TIME GO???? It's hard to believe that just six short years ago I looked like this:
OK, so who am I kidding? I STILL look like that!!!

I will never forget the day Tater Bug was born. We were a scheduled induction, and it couldn't have gone better. Well, except for maybe NOT having an intern try (many, many times, and in the end, FAIL) to put in a catheter. And, maybe Dr. Beck wouldn't have had to show his Herculean strength by single-handedly lifting a full sized recliner out of the way, while telling off his nurse--not-so-gently reminding her about the signs of impending delivery, and speedily putting on his gloves just in time to "catch" Tate. (The delivery was topped off by Dr. Beck commenting on the size of Tater's nose and feet...a few times!!) I guess I didn't care much about the circus going on around me...I just couldn't wait to meet my 4th little man!!
And now, here he is, my big 6 year old! Again, where does the time go???
He had a great birthday! Grandma H was here for a week prior, and she made his whole birthday by suggesting she take him out to get steak for his birthday dinner. She definitely knows that the way to my meat-a-tarian's heart!! We went to Logan's Roadhouse for a yummy meal, then back home to open the gifts from her.
He got some Legos, a Toy Story 2 book, and a stuffed "Rex". He loved it!!
On his actual birthday he opened gifts from Grandma and Grandpa L, which included more Legos and a transformer. He got a card and $$ from Auntie Trisha and Auntie Katherine, and a card from Great Auntie Charlyce and Uncle Don. He got a nerf football, more Legos, a big bouncy ball from our family. He was a pretty happy birthday boy!!


He got lots of phone calls wishing him a happy birthday!
And, the icing on the cake was that he got to be "Star of the Week" in his class at school!!!
I'm pretty sure that the whole family would agree that we just adore this boy!! Our family wouldn't be the same without him. He is a joy and we love him sooooo much!
Happy Birthday, Tater Bug!!!

Big nose? Your doctor needed glasses that nose isn't big.
Happy Birthday Tate!
That's about the time I started coming around- 6 years ago! I can't believe it was that long ago too! Love that poster you did of him for school, I have seen a few- and that is definitely one of the best I've seen :)
