Frosty the Snowman

Dad and Tate built a snowman the other day.  Tate was so exited.  I went with Tate to add on the eyes, nose etc.  When we were done Tate started yelling, "Frosty mom, look Frosty".  He then said, " I want to talk to Frosty"!  I told him to say hi, so he did and he stared up at Frosty's face.  I noticed he looked a little frustrated.  He then turned to me and said, "Mommy, turn him in".  Maybe I should have told him that in real life snowmen can't come to life.  But I decided to keep the magic alive and tell him that we needed a magic hat and mommy didn't have one.

Baby it's Cold Outside!

So on Thursday night I got caught in a huge storm while driving. I had never been so scared. I seriously couldn't see one thing in front of me because of the snow. I think I was like the only one who even tried driving up the road to our house because there were no cars on the road going up the hill. I did see plenty of cars pulled over on the side and in accidents though. Luckily I made it home safely and from what I know I only ended up on the wrong side of the road once. I found that out when I hit the curb. Anyway here is all the snow that came during the storm. Some people can't even get out of their driveways, but Matt was out like at 11:00 pm shoveling.


Here is our neighborhood and Home.



This is how high the piles are getting. You can't tell, but I am actually standing inside the pike of snow. I couldn't get on top of it without sinking a bit.

All Dressed Up!

Addie's Blessing


These are about a month old, but I figured they should be shown. Addie was blessed the first of Nov. We had both our families and close friends there. It is so great being surrounded by such wonderful people. It was sad not having Matt's parents there, but it is nice to know they are serving the Lord on a mission in Washington. Tate really misses his Grandpa Snow, Tate is his little minnie me.

Here is a picture of Great Grandpa Ted, (my grandpa),. I love my grandpa. He is the funniest guy even when he is a bit grouchy. I am so glad that Tate and Addie have had the opportunity to meet him. I wish Addie could have met my Grandma, she was one of he neatest ladies I have ever known. In fact Addie and I are both named after her and Addie's dress was actually mine and given to me from my grandma. This is something I am glad that I have to pass down to my daughter and it gives me the great opportunity to introduce her to my grandma and the wonderful life she lived.

All you need is Love!

I love catching Tate and Addie in those sweet brother and sister moments.

This first one is one of my favorite pictures of Tate and Addie together. Tate sometimes just loves to sit by Addie and mimic her.

This is when Matt caught Tate cuddling next to Addie and leaning over and kissing her. So Cute!

We're a little worried....


So the other day we went to play games at my brothers house and brought Tate and Addie. Tate was stuck playing with a bunch of girls and by the end of the night Tate was walking around with nothing but a diaper, some girly boots, and a gold purse. To top that off he kept saying, "Santa's CUTE!". We were a little worried. Actually I am just glad I got a picture to hang on to just in case Tate needs some whippin into shape for acting up as a teenager.... (Matt is going to kill me for posting this, so mums the word)

Our Pets!



So we decided since we probably will never get any pets we will adopt all the deer that come in our yard. We get a herd of them in the backyard sometimes and on Thanksgiving we saw one eating one of our neighbors plants.

The Polar Express



My family went on the Polar Express recently. Tate was able to invite a friend last minute because Matt got called away for work. Tate took his good friend Landon. They were so excited when Santa showed up. Too bad my camera wasn't working then. We were able to get a few other pics though.

Mean Mr. Tate!




Ok, so I love Tate more than anything, but he sure got in trouble this last week. Addie was crying and Matt went to make her a bottle. While Matt wasn't looking Tate got a hold of her and wasn't all that nice. Lets just say he was in his room most of the day. As for Addie, by the time I got home she was back to her happy self. I cried though when I saw the bump and scratches Tate had left on her. I think he has learned his lesson.....hopefully!

This sort of brings me back to last year around the same time, when Tate gave me a black eye by head butting me...... Tate really picks on us girls!

To be continued.... continues

So it has been almost two years since I stopped mid sentence of my last post and write, "to be continued". So let's get back t...
