On a Saturday Back In May.....

Thoughts

Leaving....

Right now this sweet girl and her Mommy are on a plane to the frozen tundra! Miss K's Daddy accepted a job at the University of North Dakota coaching soccer. He has been there since the end of July and now his girls are on their way to join him!

We know this is a great opportunity for their family, but we all thought Cedar City was far, Grand Forks, ND is over 1100 miles away! 

We went and gave Ash and Keags big hugs last night! It was almost like saying goodbye to Riley when he left on  his mission. :(

Ash if you're reading this....get that blog going that we talked about last night!

We miss you and hope you have an amazing adventure and then get your butts back home!

Eleven Years....

Still Remembering....

Looks Like....

We were so busy making lots of summer memories, that our blog got no love! Mama has a LOT of catching up to do! 

                                                               
           Can't wait to show you what we have been up to!                                                                                      

Easter Part Two

Here is the rest of our Easter fun! Hugh Hefner showed up for Easter dinner in his robe. He looked awesome! There were lots of tractor races. Kenzie missing her big wheel buddy Riley. The empty big wheel is waiting for Riley's return. The biggest brother taking his sister on a crazy ride, that ended with a crash. A sugary yummy Peep cake. Last but not least skating boarding in your church clothes. 

That's how we do Easter.... wouldn't change any of it, but Riley being there.

Easter 2012 Part One

Tate & Kenz coloring eggs

Finding lots of eggs

Daddy & Tate

Kenz, Colby and Tate 

Baseball Boy

He hits it every single time

This picture is blurry, but I had to post it because of his tongue!
Colby has always done the exact same thing!

I think we have a little player!

Tate says " I got it!"

He loved coloring the eggs and was very sad
when there weren't any more to color.

Some of our favorite things! The number 23 since 4 of us were born on the 23rd. UNC for our beloved
Tarheels. The Denver Broncos were also well represented.

Sitting pretty..

Cute

More cuteness...

First buzz cut of the summer and his aviators...

Notice the little "halo" above his head?

That's my angel!

Funnies

Tate has started to say so many things that just completely crack us up, so I am going to put them on the blog so we will always remember them. 

Last night he just kept them coming all night long...

1. Tate was downstairs watching Monster Jam while I cooked dinner. Aunt Kenz walked in the house and went downstairs and Tate said while pointing his finger at her "I watching my show!" You think she has said that to him a few times? :)
2. Kenz had come to pick up some more of her clothes to take to her new apartment and Tate was sitting on the kitchen counter helping me with dinner. Kenz asked him for a kiss good-bye and after the good-bye kiss he said "That tastes like a diet coke kiss!"
3. Colby had just taken Tate to the bathroom and Tate poked his head around the wall and said to me " I spilled " to which I asked " What did you spill? " then he looked at me with those gorgeous blue eyes and said "My pee! " 
4. After Tate got out of the tub last night, he was sitting on my lap. The windows were open and it smelled like one of my neighbors had a fire in their fire pit burning. I said to Colby "Do you smell the fire?" and Tate says " Grandma, it smells like a bear!"

I can't even begin to express how much I love this little boy! He is pure joy!

The Barney Song

Ever since Tate was born and I would bathe him, I would sing to him. I am no American Idol but Tate didn't care. I would sing You are My Sunshine, Five Little Monkeys, Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam and a whole playlist of other Primary songs. He loved it! As he got older he would try to sing along with me. This was our time. It was just us and I will never forget how I felt while I was bathing my sweet boy.

This is the most precious video of the most precious voice EVER! I can't tell you how many times I have watched it and  Tate asks to see it every time he comes over.

The Barney Song (not sure of the real title)

I love you

You love me

We're a happy family

With a great big hug

and a kiss from me to you

Won't you say you love me too!

Yep....

There 's my boy, front and center on the USU Homepage.
