I have two dads....

So my little boy is growing up and with him, you never know whats coming.
So the other day we were getting in the car to go to pre-school. I realized I never checked his backpack from the last weekend figured I'd better check to see if he had homework. So I quickly grabbed all the papers and went through them. I checked their itinerary of what they did in class and noticed they talked about families. "So Sweet", I thought!
His class talked about how some families have just a mommy and some families just have a daddy and so on.... The paper then described how they asked the kids to go through magazines and cut out people to represent their "Funny Family". This is when I pulled out Tate's picture In the middle I noticed Tate's picture in the middle. To the top was a baby girl, my guess was it resembled Addie. On the bottom the pictures were of,.... TWO MEN????
I'm not stating my opinion on how I feel of Prop 8 here. Don't put words in my mouth. This has nothing to do with that. The point is I am a female and Matt is Male. We are not a same sex couple. I was just laughing at what his teacher must have thought. Tate is a very stubborn kid and if he wanted to put a certain picture on his paper, he will fight to do so. I am sure his teacher couldn't really change his mind.
I decided when I picked Tate up I would ask him about his family picture.
When Tate jumped in the car I pulled the picture out and went through each person. Tate pointed to him and said, "That's me".
As he pointed to the baby he said ,"That's my baby girl Addie".
"OK" I said "So who are these people"?
Tate pointed to the man with dark hair and said "That's Ella's Daddy, Dr. Bott".
Dr. Bott is our neighbor and dentist, and actually the picture sort of did resemble him.
"So who is that man", I asked Tate.
"I dunno, but it's not my daddy"!
What a relief. I was beginning to wonder if Tate new something I didn't. Just kidden.
Matt and I just laughed.
So a couple days later when Tate came home again from pre-school, we went through his bag. On this day they talked about things that they were thankful for. I pulled out Tate's paper which had a tree with leaves. I each leaf was suppose to be something Tate ws thankful for. The big leaf on top said "Jesus". I thought that was sweet. Another leaf said, "My dad".
"That's a good one", I thought to myself.
The last leaf I was totally expecting to see me, but no. The other leaf said "Dad".
Once again, two dads!
OK now I'm worried! (I'm really not, I am just enjoying this moment!)

So I took some pics, but I will post them when I get the chance!

Fun in October!

October has been like my December should be.... Crazy! We have had a lot of fun though. There is so much we've done and I have so many pictures. I decided that I would just post all the pics and give you a breef run through of all of our activities.   We have had many Halloween parties to attend.  One was at my grandpa's retirement residency, Tate's pre-school, and then the Snow's yearly Halloween party.





 Between the parties we attended Thanksgiving Point Cornbelly's, three different times with three different group.  Below I show the pics.  with my side of the family.  While there My lovely brother and adorable hubby decided it was fun to tackle Tasha in the corn maze.  Matt nearly killed me while mistaking me for a real football player, while thinking he was in a real game.  Ha ha ha..... not really!





We attended a dinner theater event at Gardener Village.  The best part was Matt, his brother and dad were pulled up in stage during YMCA.  Matt did a cool toe touch off the stage and then a girl ran up and gave him a dollar bill.  Had to be there I guess?



So I could go on and on, but as you see the last pics are of halloween and our pumpkin creations.  Tate did the spider man one, but kept throwing a fit that it wasn;t looking like a spider so I helped a bit using a stencil. Later Halloween night Addie's two little friends stopped by to show off their cute costumes so I took some pics.






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...
