Halloween 2012

We had a great Halloween this year. It would have been perfect, but Nathan wasn't there for trick or treating (he was working). But, the boys were really cute and really into it this year. They both seemed to get it for the first time and enjoyed dressing up and going trick or treating. They would walk up to the houses together and say "Trick or Treat" and after they got candy, Tate would say, "Thank you. Happy Halloween." It was a warm night and we had lots of fun.

Tate's School Picture

I forgot to post Tate's school picture for this year. He did such a great job with the photographer this year. He hopped in the chair, smiled, said cheese and was done. Last year, he screamed, cried and clung to me the whole time (which you can tell the difference in the photos). He is such a handsome boy.

These Boys

One day, we got all ready for church only to discover that we didn't have church that day. So, instead we came home and played outside. The boys were being silly and wouldn't really cooperate with any picture taking.

Carving Pumpkins


Tate has really gotten into decorating this year. He bugged us daily to get all of the Halloween decorations out and up and then he messed with them constantly. And, as soon as we got pumpkins, he couldn't wait to carve one. Corey helped out this year and it turned out pretty cute. It did, however, rot before Halloween, but it was still fun.

Happy 5th Birthday, Tate!


Taters is 5! I can't believe it. He is such a fun, sweet, interesting, and imaginative little boy. He is a blast to hang out with and he still loves to snuggle and tell his family how much he loves us. He is really into Mario right now, so he wanted a Mario party. With the help of Pinterest, we made all of the decorations and it turned out pretty cute. Tate loved it, which is the most important thing.

More presents. He wouldn't take this coat off for pictures. It was his "pilot" jacket.
Love this handsome boy!

 After we had our little party at our house, we went to the Nickel Arcade and had lots more fun!
Later than night, Tate modeled the gifts from Grandpa and Grandma Jenny. He is one loved little boy! 




 What a GREAT DAY!
