One of Dad's favorite Memory this past year:  He took you to the spooky Halloween store and you were totally fearless!  You liked looking at the spooky mannequins and running around the store laughing.

Some of your Mom's favorite Memories this year:  Taking you to Qdoba on the weekends, watching you eat beans and cheese and giving yourself a bean mustache.

Watching you play soccer in the summer.  You tried SO HARD on your team and I was so proud.

I also loved taking you to birthday parties.  You love being around other kids, especially older boys. 

Zachary, you are so strong and so brave.  You make us so proud everyday and we're so lucky you chose us to be your parents.  Thank you for teaching us patience, strength, and love.

Tormoehlen Boys Birthday Party

WOW!  What an awesome birthday the boys had.  We hosted their party at the Greenwood Athletic Club and had a sports party.  All of the kids played, jumped, and ran and there were smiles all around.

Zachary had the BIGGEST smile on his face the entire time and often talks about the party in the days following.  It was also special to have custom eggless cupcakes he could eat.  He talked about being able to eat his cake the days leading up to the party, so he knew it was a special treat.

Kyle and I had such a great day with our loved ones.  What a special and treasured moment for our family.

Max's 2nd Birthday

Max,
YOU ARE SUCH A LOVE IN OUR LIVES!

You turned two on Sunday.  Two year's old!

From the moment you came into my life, I knew you'd be the happiest kid on the planet.  You love to play and do everything the big boys get to do.  Your Dad and I love watching you play with other kids, always wanting to be included.

Some of your favorite things:

• Hot Wheels Cars
• How to Train Your Dragon
• Playing with soccer or footballs
• Anything with wheels: Toy Trucks, Cars, and Bikes
• Books.  You love to sit on my lap and read a book each night.  You'll stand by your shelf in your room, put your finger on your lip and say, "Hmmmmmm" as you consider all of your options.
• You talk SO MUCH!  You have an incredible vocabulary and communicate so well to us.  Just this morning, you said, "Mom, pancake downstairs."  Clear as day.  It's incredible.
• "I DO IT" is your answer to everything.  You need to try everything for yourself

We had an incredible party with friends and family on November 1st, we had a family celebration on November 2nd and your school party was on November 3rd.   You LOVE singing the Happy Birthday Song and blowing candles.

I'm so grateful for you Max.  I'm grateful everyday you chose me to be your mother and our family is stronger with you in it.

I love you to the moon and back, sweet son.
