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.

Addie's Smile

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!

Silly Tate

Tate thought his glasses that Great Papa Ted gave him were so funny. He wanted me to keep taking pictures of him.

Best Buds

We have had alot of work done in our backyard recently. Tate was so excited to wake up every morning and see big tracktors right outside our window. He was so sad to hear that the tracktors would be leaving so he and his buddy, Landon (our neighbor), went to say bye. They were so excited when the workers said they could sit in them so we had to get pictures.

Happy Halloween!

So my favorite holiday has come and gone. I love Halloween! Usually I have costumes ready and planned in advanced, but this year I really have struggled being organized with anything. I found Tate's costume at Old Navy and ordered Addie's on-line. I wasn't going to dress up but last minute I put some clothes together to create some 80's rock chick. Surprisingly all the peices of my costume are clothes I wear like everyday......scary isn't it? Well I forced Matt to grab a hat and jeans and call himself a cowboy. He couldn't be the only one with out a costume!
THis was probably our funest halloween together. Tate was just old enough to enjoy it. He would go up to the doors and say, "Give me candy". That isn't exactly what I told him to say......but I geuss he figured it was just as effecttive. We had a hard time getting him to stop. Luckily by now he has forgotten about the big bag of candy we have stashed in our cubbouard. Mom and Dad haven't though!
