Brothers

This michievious look was little Terrence's nature!

It's only fitting that because it is Terrence's Birthday this week that I honor him as someone who has impacted my life.

He was born on Grandma Eden's Birthday, my biggest baby, my very best delivery. Why is it you can perfectly remember labor and delivery? Terrence was stubborn coming into the world but once he decided to get it over with. Wham O he was here. just 10 minutes after they broke my water I dilated from 2 to 10 and he was born. It was perfect. One thing that is memorable about his infancy is that he would not go to a baby sitter. So I got to quit my job at the bank and become a stay at home Mom. He loved to be everywhere I was. I loved when he would push a chair up to the counter and help me do dishes or cook. I'd like to think that is where he learned to love to cook, but his wife gets that credit. They are such a team!

He is still to this day 'my boy' The day isn't complete unless I here from Terr.

He had a special relationship with his Grandparents, especially his Grandma Deann. He knew she loved him and they were partners on the farm! They worked side by side and Grandma Deann took a lot of time with him making sure he had fun play time. For 1 year after she passed away Terrence had dreams of her and would wake up crying everynight. He was 13

Terr has a tender heart and a giving nature

When Terrence first started dating Laura his sophomore year in High School, I new Laura was meant to be in our family. I'm proud of Terrence for choosing someone as awesome as she is. I'm proud that he is a good husband. I'm proud that they work so well together and I know that because of Laura's loving nature it has made Terrence a better man. He works a long side of Laura, they are an amazing couple. They are amazing parents. When I watch Terr be so patient with his girls it just amazes me.

He has some awesome bestfriends along with closest relationships with his cousins. He is a good friend. A good kind, caring person.

He was named after my Dad, it is ironic how many traits he has of my father. He is a perfectionist, things have to be just so. Things usually go better if it is his way! He is an inventor, He loves to tinker. He's an organizer. He studies out all of his decisions and pushes him self to excell.

He's like his father when it comes to mechanics. It just comes natually. He loves the outdoors, hunting, fishing, four wheeling etc. He is also like his father with patience and I don't think I've heard him cuss. That is his Dad's pet heave!

He was the worlds best little brother except for the few years as a teenager! He was Elyse's best friend for a long time. He could get her to play lego's for hours. He's back to Elyse's best friend and has been there for her anytime as well as Tyrel.

He is an amazing Father. I will never forget walking in the hospital and seeing Terrence taking care of Kylie (his first born) An incredible experience as a parent watching our son be so tender and loving and emotional. It just seems so natural to him. He now takes one on one time with both of his girls and makes sure it is a priority to spend time with them.

He has some incredible talents and abilities. Right now it is pursuing his education. He is a goal oriented, smart kid. He is a great provider and hard worker.

I feel honored that God allowed me to raise Terrence. He has blessed my life in more ways than I can mention. One thing about Terrence that I cherish is that I know no matter what, no matter where he will always be their for our family.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TERR! WE LOVE YOU!!!
