Calvin's Blessing

We went to Brandon and Calli's baby, Calvin's, blessing yesterday. He is such a chubby, sweet baby and we had fun hanging out with the family. Tate loves playing with his cousins all day (who all LOVE him!). They all had fun for about 20 minutes giving him socks and toys, having him throw them on the ground, and then picking them up and letting him do it OVER AND OVER AND OVER. It was nice that somebody was willing to play that game with him for more than a second!

Somebody learned to hold their bottle (finally!!), but won't do it when we are around!

Fiesta Days, Ole!

Spanish Fork has a fine little fair thing, the Fiesta Days, and we went for the first time this year. Shelley (Nathan's sister) and I went to the craft fair one day and Nathan and I went went last night to get some Tri Tip sandwhiches. While they weren't quite as good as Nath's Tri Tip, they were good. Summer is so fun!

Babies Be Shoppin'

I love taking Tate to the store and decided to take a picture of him in the cart while we were waiting in a long Saturday Wal-mart line. Tate loves to investigate everything I put in the cart and then throw it on the floor. He is such a little rascal! While I was taking this picture, Tate was yelling "DaDa" at the people in line behind us. :)

Sunday Fun

On Sunday after church, we went outside to play. The weather was so awesome. It was that darkness right before a huge storm. My favorite!! About two minutes after we went inside, the heavens opened and it POURED. So, we went back outside and sat on the porch and watched the storm together. It was really special and Tate was fascinated by the rain. We finished off the evening with a BBQ. It was a great day. I love my little family!

Fishin' in the Dark

Well, it wasn't quite dark....but Nathan, Tate and I went fishing the other night at dusk. Nathan found this amazing little creek by our house. It was really beautiful and Tate had fun checking out all the new plants and the rushing water. Nathan waded in the water and fished while we explored and sat next to the water. Unfortunately, it was late and we didn't get to stay too long before it got dark and close to Tate's bedtime. We will definitely be visiting that spot again. We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful place!!

Fun Times with Friends

Tate and I had a great time on Friday getting together with my great friends and former roomies. We all have at least one kid (all boys and one girl) and it is always so fun to get together and catch up. We had to rush to get something together because Sarah and her family are moving back to Michigan in a few weeks. I love these girls!

Two Lil' Teethies

Well, here they are: Tate's first little teeth. Aren't they cute? Here are some pictures I took of Tate today doing some of his crazy little Tate-isms. He loves to point at everything and anyone who has spent any time with him knows that he always puts his arms behind his head like he is lounging. He is a crazy boy!
