Tate Turns Two!!!

A few weeks ago Tate turned two.  We had a birthday party for him the following Saturday.  It was so much fun to see him play with all the kids.  Of course we had a Thomas the Train theme and Tate loved it. A special thanks to all of those who came and drove from far away than Pocatello to be there.  Everyone had a lot of fun except for maybe Ty who received a broken leg at the very beginning of the Party.  Sorry Jake and Angie.  I hope he is doing much better and his leg is healing fast.  Here are some fun pictures from his party!!!!

On Tate's actual Birthday he got new shoes.  He was really excited and had to show them off

Blowing bubbles while all our guests arrived.

Decorating our Train Sugar Cookies.  Yummy!!  Max and Tate liked eating just the sprinkles.

Playing a racing game where you had to get all the toys back to the other side one at a time.  Tate decided that he had to ride in the basket each time.

We played Pin the nose on James.  Tate is pointing to where his nose landed.

Tate hitting the Pinata!!  

He wasn't very happy when all the candy came out.  He had helped fill it and wanted to stick all the candy back in.

Blowing out his candle and eating cake and ice cream.

When we got home there was a card from my Brother Matthew who is on his mission for Tate.  He had put stickers in it from cars and Tate loved them.  He actually had to go to bed with them.  Here he is showing them off.

Tate also got a new Thomas the Train.  Here he is showing it as well.  The Thomas the Train shirt was his PJ's for that night since we could not get it off him.  He was so happy to have his Thomas's sleeping with him and his card from his Uncle Matthew.

We love you Tate.  You bring so much Joy into our lives.  I can't believe you are two years old.  You are becoming a little man.  

Tates First Hair Cut

A week before Tate's Birthday I decided it was time to cut Tate's hair.  It was a very sad day for me and so of course I cried,  just a little.  Here are some pictures of the event.

These are the before pictures:

We got the sucker Idea from Angie when they cut Ty's hair.  Worked like a charm.

A very handsome boy!!!

Bridal Shower!

In April we had a Bridal Shower for Jared (Jace's brother) Fiance.  Here is the towel cake I made:

While the girls were at the bridal shower the boys went to Lagoon.  Tate had a lot of fun playing with his cousins.  

Tate and Ty riding the whales.

Tate you need to  pay attention to where your going.  I guess we will have to watch out for him when he gets his license.

Tate and Max having Fun.

The end of the day eating the cotton candy Max shared with him.  Thanks Max!!

EASTER!!!!

We had a really good Easter.  We had dinner with Jace's parents and Grandparents on Saturday and enjoyed the company and visiting.  While Jace went to Priesthood, Tate and I had some quality time.  We dyed easter eggs and Tate loved it.  Sadly I did not take any pictures.  The next morning Tate woke up and found Thomas the Train waiting for him.  He loves Thomas and says his name all the time.  He also received a Lightning McQueen car among other things.  He really enjoyed his two new toys.

This is a Train set my Mom got Tate that Spells his name.  He loves pulling it around the house.  Behind it you can Jace's Easter Basket he received socks and a new Harley Davidson Belt Buckle.

Tate checking out his goodies!!

Spring Break

For Jace's Spring Break we went to my Parents house.  We had a lot of fun.  We went swimming and Jace and I were able to go to the Temple with my parents.  We were also there for my Mom's birthday so that was a lot of fun.  Jace and my Dad played quite a few rounds of golf.   Jace really enjoyed relaxing.  Tate loved being at Grandma and Grandpa's.  He loved playing with his Aunts and Uncles and he actually ate Lasagna for the first time.  I sure wish we could get him to eat at home.  Here are some pictures from our trip!

This is Tate and the Twins in their Vest after Church.  They all look so Handsome.

This was Tate before we left for Roosevelt!  Too bad he didn't stay this way the whole ride their.

Tate and Dad playing Rock em Sock em!!!!  Tate is winning so he thinks.  If he couldn't get the head to pop up he would just reach over and pull it up himself.

Tate eating his Lasagna just because his Uncles were as well see next picture.

Tate swimming with Dad and Aunt Emily!!

The Twins tired out early from swimming.  They had wanted to climb the rock wall but it had closed.

Getting Back!

Here are a few recent pictures of my boys.  We are getting back to blogging know that we have setup security measures on the site.  Hopefully I can keep this updated so everyone can stay in touch.  For those of you who don't know we are going to be having another baby in July.  We are having another boy.  We are very excited for this new addition and are looking forward to the all the excitement he will bring.  Enjoy this pictures.
